Australia - Stampin’ Up Pineapple<div>
Hi!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from <a href="http://www.alisatilsner.com/blog/blog/" target="_blank">Alisa's blog</a>.<br />
<br />
I thought I would try out a technique that was shown to us at the recent Stampin’ Up! Onstage Live event (formerly known as ‘Convention’).<br />
<br />
The technique is where you get a standard block image stamp...but use a marker to highlight parts of the stamp. On the Pineapple stamp below, I inked the leaves in Smoky Slate, but used the Basic Grey marker to highlight some of the shadowed parts. It came out quite well I thought! :)<br />
<br />

<br />
The band of bling is from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack...I used a combination of small circle and a star at each end. It reminds me of a brand of beer! :)<br />
<br />
...and yes, there is a hint of a sneak peek of a new stamp, but that’s all I’m going to say about that. ;)<br />

Australia - Stampin’ Up! Day of Gratitude - Thanksgiving cardHi!<br />
<br />
So we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia but I have a couple of American friends to whom I always send a Thanksgiving card. They are very special people and I appreciate their friendship so what better way to appreciate that than a handmade card! :)<br />
<br />
The inspiration image at <strong><a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">The Card Concept</a> </strong>this week is a lovely Autumnal/Thanksgiving image.<br />
<br />
Here’s my very clean & simple card..<br />
<br />

I used a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp called “Day of Gratitude”. It has the most gorgeous medallion flower image and I love the greeting....and look at the script on the ‘G’!! *sigh*<br />
<br />
I’m a typography nerd I know. :)<br />

<br />
The inspiration image at <strong><a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">The Card Concept</a> </strong>this week is a beautiful mint green typewriter with a spray of shabby chic flowers.<br />
<br />
I am still stocking up my Christmas Card stash so I thought a soft pastel toned festive card would be lovely!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFH7TTOjMk0AC9-tyxZudt2_EKYfRfMvsg6Q_hfWK3ewjhQa8Z7a-qb7Xic5zCN33SOpPT1QrCTAbarmOG8sssnSzmLMtAni_LjQYvUrrImEHoYbUZcjnSbGmHq_cWYT-f5RLSDZaZiU/s1600/DSC_0053.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFH7TTOjMk0AC9-tyxZudt2_EKYfRfMvsg6Q_hfWK3ewjhQa8Z7a-qb7Xic5zCN33SOpPT1QrCTAbarmOG8sssnSzmLMtAni_LjQYvUrrImEHoYbUZcjnSbGmHq_cWYT-f5RLSDZaZiU/s640/DSC_0053.jpg" width="497" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I used the new ‘Star of Light’ stamp set and found that there is a cool ‘two step’ stamp in it which looks like I have carefully shaded the snowflake image when in fact, it is just a perfectly layered second stamp!<br />
<br />
I stamped the main image in Melon Mambo and the second layer in Flirty Flamingo. It looks SO GOOD in real life! I might make more of these cards....I think this is my favourite Christmas card in my stash now!<br />
<br />

The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is beautiful patterned pumpkin decoration - look at those cool chevrons!<br />
<br />
I was inspired by the orange chevrons and the Halloween imagery. I know we don’t ‘do’ Halloween here in Australia, but our street and most of our suburb celebrate it and it is a lot of fun. Last year we got about 220 kids through the street - that’s a lot of sugar!! :)<br />
<br />
I have a friend who recently celebrated a birthday - so this card is a belated greeting to her. She, like me, loves witches and the ‘stranger things’ so this little stamp is perfect!<br />

Here are the essentials:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>I used a fun cursive sentiment stamp from the Watercolour Wishes card kit. </li>
<li>Use up your scraps! This great sketch from CASE This Sketch really lends itself to a good rummage through the scraps folder. :)</li>
<li>Layer the pink. I layered a Flirty Flamingo layer onto the Blushing Bride card base since these two colours were part of the same spectrum. </li>
</ul>

Australia - Stampin’ Up! Merry MedleyHi!<br />
<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is a delicious assortment of fresh summer gelato flavours! mmmmm gelato! I recently returned from a week’s holiday at Coolum Beach and was lucky enough to partake in Gelato Mio’s offerings daily!<br />
<br />
I was inspired by the colours and thought it would be fun to make a start on my Christmas cards but use a non-traditional colour scheme.<br />
<br />
I used Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum inks in an ombre design on the Merry Medley background stamp.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />

<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is all about citrus colour!!<br />
<br />
I was trying to channel some sort of graphic card that featured fun colourful circles but it wasn’t working so I looked to the ‘Number of Years’ stamp and decided to be guided by the bright colours for inspiration.<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to make a teenage girl card.....keep it fresh and simple.<br />

Australia - Pineapple Stamp Set Hi!<br />
<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is a colourful array of wall pots...in all the rainbow colours. :)<br />
<br />
I have a few new stamps - yay! I thought I would break out the <b>Pineapple </b>stamp for this card. I wanted to get a painted look on the <b>Pineapple</b> stamp so I got the large brushstroke stamp from the <b>Work of Art </b>stamp set and stamped straight onto the Pineapple stamp with each colour.<br />
<br />
The colours from base to crown are:<br />
<br />
<b>Flirty Flamingo*</b><br />
<b>Sweet Sugarplum*</b><br />
<b>Dapper Denim*</b><br />
<b>Cucumber Crush</b><br />
<b>Delightful Dijon</b><br />
<b>Peekaboo Peach*</b><br />
<b>Watermelon Wonder </b><br />

This is a card for yet another ex-work-colleague who is moving to southern pastures, so I heat embossed the ‘congrats’ greeting from the Tin of Cards stamp set and embellished the card with some White Accents.<br />

Hi!<br />

<div>
Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from <a href="http://shoeboxcreations.com/2016/07/24/artful-stampers-blog-hop-no-94" target="_blank">Nicole’s</a> blog.<br />

I made this card for little girl in my son’s class. He attended her 6th birthday today and I thought she might like this card. :)</div>

I used the technique for this week - the Faux Wax Seal - on the envelope. I stamped the little fairy image into the molten copper embossing powder and it left a cool effect! Shelli Gardner does a great little tutorial on this on her blog <a href="http://soshelli.com/so-shelli-blog/2016/6/16/faux-wax-seal.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The seal looks nicer in real life. It kinda looks like a brown blob in my photo but actually it is very shiny and pretty. My advice is to keep the embossing powder nice and thick - you want that displaced look around the edges for an authentic wax seal look. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took the colouring cues for the fairy image from the colours featured in the Affectionately Yours DSP. They work beautifully I think. I also put some sparkly Wink of Stella on her wings, the flowers and the toadstool. :)</div>

Hi!<br />

<div>
Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Annette’s blog!<br />
<br />
Blame me for the weird colours and the ‘throwback’ sketch! I haven’t done a blog hop in a while so as ‘punishment’ (LOL) it fell to me to suggest the challenge. :)<br />

Just a quick post from me, since I’ve been quiet of late. SO busy working full-time now, but I managed to steal an afternoon today to do some crafting. :)<br />

Some bokeh technique here, plus some use of scraps that I had in a folder....some paper flowers and a punched piece of gold foil cardstock. I thought it looked good on the bokeh background with the wooden sentiment piece. I painted the wooden sentiment with clear ‘Wink of Stella’ to make it shimmery. :)</div>

<br />
I’m loving this new Pineapple background stamp from the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue. I went crazy with some rainbow brush strokes (from Work of Art) in the background - a mix of 4 new In Colors and 3 from last year.<br />

<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is a beautiful china tea-cup decorated with a gorgeous pink flower.<br />
<br />
The colour of the teacup inspired my card and I found a stunning flower ribbon that was a perfect adornment.<br />

<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is the lovely lyric “You Are My Sunshine”. I sing this song to my boys before bed every night - I love that song!<br />
<br />
One of my friends asked me to make a card for a colleague who is leaving work in a few weeks. I also happened to have worked with this person and she is AWESOME!<br />
<br />
So I knew I had to use this stamp for her card....but since it is a card from an office full of people, I needed to correct the grammar!<br />
<br />
I used my rotary stamp to stamp an ‘OUR’ onto black cardstock, which I then heat embossed in white.<br />
<br />
It’s not entirely true to my style of Clean & Graphic since I have a number of layers on the card...but it took on a life of its own in the end. :)<br />

<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is an beautiful spray of purple flowers which led me to my stamp selection of ‘You’ve Got This’ - a gorgeous flower that lends itself to colouring in!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here are the essentials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I was inspired by the purple tones of the flowers in the image so I chose ‘Wisteria Wonder’ Blendabilities to colour my stamped image. </li>
<li>Flower stem is Wild Wasabi</li>
<li>The neutral background is stamped in Sahara Sand</li>
<li>I was also inspired by <a href="http://tgifchallenges.blogspot.com.au/2016/04/tgifc52.html" target="_blank">TGIF challenges </a>to create a Mother’s Day card </li>

<br />
<br />
Here are the essentials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I was inspired by the print music in the image so I used a sheet from a retired Christmas paper - it’s the sheet music for Silent Night. :)</li>
<li>The colours of the image set the palette for my card - vanilla & black. </li>
<li>I used Black Satin ribbon just like the one in the image.</li>
<li>I took inspiration from <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/case-this-sketch-165.html" target="_blank">CASE This Sketch</a> for the layout and <a href="http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/merry-monday-198-christmas-carols.html" target="_blank">Merry Monday</a> for the theme of my card. </li>
</ul>

Here are the essentials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I found a scrap piece of a stamped dinosaur that didn’t quite make it onto a card a while ago. It is stamped in Melon Mambo and the bones are stamped in Tempting Turquoise. </li>
<li>I used the Bohemian DSP and washi tape. </li>
<li>some gold sequin trim finished off the sketch!</li>
</ul>
Here is our sketch for this week:<br />

Hi!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here are the essentials:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>I watercoloured the bug image on watercolour paper...Marina Mist for the windows, Perfect Plum for the running board, Rose Red for the main body and Smoky Slate for the wheels, tyres, door handle and side mirror. I also went over the wheel spokes, mirror and handle with a Smoky Slate marker for definition. </li>
<li>Using up scraps! I found some retired Smoky Slate DSP, a starburst-shaped Perfect Plum die cut, some Rose Red seam binding and a piece of Naturals Chevron ribbon so I set about making these work with the bug. </li>
<li>Anatomy of bling! So....the bling here consists of the Botanical Garden flower jewel in the top left corner, rhinestone jewels in the middle of the wheels, and 3 sets of twin rhinestones dotted around the card. </li>
<li>Teeny tiny details....the “Beautiful Ride” stamp set has the most adorable miniature flower so I put that in the corner of the back door hinge and echoed it on the sentiment banner. CUTE! </li>
<li>The layout was inspired by <a href="http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/freshly-made-sketches-228-sketch-by-kim.html" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a> this week. </li>
<li>As I am looking at this photo, I’m thinking that some Wink of Stella would look fabulous on the car so I’m off to add that now! :)</li>

<br />
<br />
Here are the essentials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Soft Suede & Mossy Meadow are in the English Garden DSP pack so since they are 2 out of the 3 colours this week, why not use them!?</li>
<li>I layered the leaves for a soft effect against the flower from the Picture Perfect stamp set. </li>
<li>The Watermelon Wonder ribbon is slightly sheer, so to colour block, I added some Watermelon Wonder card stock underneath it. Looks perfect! </li>
</ul>
<br />
Here are our colours for this week:<br />

Australia - Stampin' Up! Christmas Card Hi!<br />
<br />
The inspiration image at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>The Card Concept's</strong></a><strong> </strong>challenge this week is a beautiful basket of pink Easter eggs.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are the essentials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I don't really sent Easter cards so I took my cue from the holiday idea and created a Christmas card. </li>
<li>The pinks on the eggs reminded me of a retired colour from Stampin' Up called Regal Rose...so pretty on shimmer white paper!</li>
<li>A giant rhinestone is the perfect finishing touch to the ornament. </li>
</ul>

Here are the essentials:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>I had to make a card for a naming ceremony and the baby’s name starts with ‘J’ - hence the J against the star framelits</li>
<li>Paper Piercing - always gives a lovely frame without adding bulk or extra colour.</li>
<li>Layer your DSP - use it up!</li>
</ul>

Australia - Stampin’ Up! Botanical Gardens + Happy Birthday EveryoneHi<br />
<br />
Welcome to this week's <b><a href="http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com/" target="_blank">Create with Connie and Mary</a> </b>Thursday Challenge.<br />

<br />
Here are the essentials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I wanted to use a bold pattern as my background and have all the other elements as miniature pieces. Botanical Gardens DSP has some amazing patterns and I chose the leafy one for this card. </li>
<li>The angled greeting took on a life of its own and became a tag. I used the Gold Glitter Tape and made a faux-ribbon. </li>
<li>Use your scraps! I had a doily-cut off, a vellum scrap piece and a gold glimmer butterfly that I had punched but not used sitting in my embellishments case. I threw them on this card and it worked in an eclectic kinda way. </li>
</ul>
