Ink.Stamp.Share August Blog Hop - Autumn/Winter Catalogue...

Good afternoon and welcome to the Ink.Stamp.Share Monthly Blog Hop.  This month we are showcasing new products from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.

You may have joined me from Kim or starting the hop here but sit back and enjoy hopping around with us.

I love Autumn, I love the season, I love the colours, the weather can be interesting sometimes but on those crisp sunny autumnal days, it really is one of my favourites.

I also love creating Autumn projects so I have made two cards today using the amazing Beautiful Autumn stamp set which is part of the Gilded Autumn suite.

I have stamped the background of this card using the individual two step stamps in a mixture of colours including Pumpkin Pie, Bumblebee, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso Cinnamon Cider and Cajun Craze.  The speckled background is taken from the Beauty Abounds stamp set.  I stamped a line of leaves across my card and fussy cut around then to remove the bottom section.  I then replaced this section with the most gorgeous Brushed Metallic cardstock.  Photographs cannot show how utterly beautiful these brushed sheets are!

Here is another photograph which shows how the light catches on the metallic.

I have used this card as my entry to the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP255 which has the subject of leaves/trees so it worked really well for the challenge.

I then made this second card again using the Beautiful Autumn stamp set.

This time I stamped a background with the speckles from the Beauty Abounds stamp set and gradually layered up leaves and other elements, some are stamped direct on to the card and others are attached using dimensionals.

Here they are together...

I hope you like my projects, I have another card scheduled for tomorrow using this amazing suite of products so don't forget to stop by.

I am now going to pass you on to the lovely Sue who I am sure has something amazing to share with you today.

Happy Hoppin'

Monday Mashup #3...

Good morning and welcome to my Monday Mashup.

This week I have mashed up three sets of our beautiful dies.  Sometimes I concentrate on the stamp sets and forget to use the co-ordinating dies to their full potential.

I am mixing together.... Snow Globe Scenes, Home Together and Word Wishes dies.

  

Here is my card.

I have used several of the dies and also incorporated the stamp sets Coming Home and Itty Bitty Christmas.

You can see how I made the card where I share our new amazing Foam Adhesive Sheets and some tricks on cutting those intricate dies.

I hope you like my project today.  You can purchase any of the products I have used in my project by clicking on the links below.

Have you ever considered being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?  It really is an amazingly rewarding job and I would be happy to talk you through the benefits of running your very own craft business.  If running a business is not your thing, you can still join and benefit from the amazing offers and discounts without the pressure of running classes.  Why not ask me how?

 I will be back next week with some more Monday Mashup.

Happy Craftin'

3D Paper Trimmer Blog Hop August 2020 Topic: Vacation...

Good morning and welcome to the 3D Paper Trimmer August Blog Hop. 

You may have joined me from Tricia or joining the hop here.  We have some great projects for you today with the theme 'Vacation'.

My husband and I rarely go on holiday, in fact I think our last proper holiday we took was way back in 2012!  (Wow, 8 years ago, may have to do something about that!)  In any event, when we do go away I always take with me a notebook of some kind to make notes of where we visit, what we have seen etc so I can then scrapbook those memories when we return.

So, I decided to make a notebook/holiday journal for my project today or it could be used as a mini photo album using the beautiful Seaside View stamp set.  Here is my project...

The album is held together with interposts which are like the screw posts you often see in scrapbooks.  I stamped alternate pages within the album with things that remind me of travel or holidays.

I thought this would make a nice gift to give to somebody if they are going on a special trip or adventure so I made a matching card to go with it.

I used the bubble stamps from the lovely Beauty Abounds stamp set.  They are so useful for quick backgrounds.

Here are the projects together...

I hope you like my projects.  I am now going to pass you on to the lovely Kirsty who I am sure has something gorgeous to share with you today.

You can follow the hop by using the Next buttons or there is a list of participants shown at the bottom of this post.

All products used in these projects are available from my online shop and again these are shown below.

Happy Hoppin'
