Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Build A Birthday - Artful Stampers & Just Add Ink Challenge

Hi

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Nicole's blog. 

Look at this beautiful colour combination that we have to work with this week....they are 2/3rd Regals colours but that didn't stop me turning out a bright birthday card with the use of Build A Birthday and some washi tape. 

Here's my card...

Here are our colours....

Here's the fun sketch from Just Add Ink that inspired the layout of this card...

I also made a Delightful Dijon-coloured envelope from the In Color Envelope Paper pack using the Envelope Punch Board. I'm using this tool SO much more now due to these fun papers. They are slightly thinner than normal card stock so they fold beautifully. I stamped a tone-on-tone birthday candle onto the envelope too. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Build A Birthday + Wondrous Wreath Christmas Card

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

When I saw these colours, I knew I wanted to create a Christmas card, but I wasn't sure how to theme it. I looked to Merry Monday this week for their challenge and saw it was 'Candles and Flowers'....perfect!

I used Build-A-Birthday and Wondrous Wreath to make a modern layered Christmas card. The candle flames were stamped in Crumb Cake and heat embossed over the top with Iridescent Ice embossing powder - they are lovely and sparkly. :)

I also got to use the gorgeous 5/8" Striped Cotton Ribbon in Lost Lagoon...looks great against the Very Vanilla card stock in real life. Makes a very rustic bow. 

Here are our colours....

Retrosketches helped with this great layered sketch....

Here's the inspiration image from Merry Monday...

Edited 7/7/15 - I was so honoured to be in the gallery of Honorable Mentions this week for the Merry Monday Challenge. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Build A Birthday

Hi!

Welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop! Welcome from Jessica's blog.

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a project that caught the eye from the Birthday section of the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. 

CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole blog hop is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catalogues are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.

Here's my card:

I decided to make a shaker card and use up a negative die cut that I had from a Top Note Die card that I had made a while back. I keep all my negatives as I know they will always be put to good use on a card someday. :)

Just like the original I used Build A Birthday with the Cherry On Top Washi Tape and my frame is Crushed Curry. I stamped my sentiment in Cucumber Crush and layered it straight onto the window sheet. I filled my shaker card with some new Metallic Sequins - I grabbed clear ones from the pack.  

Here's my inspiration:

Stampin' Up! Australia - CASE-ing The Catty - Sneak Peek!!!

Hi!

Welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop! Welcome from Jess' blog.

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a project from the BRAND NEW 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. Exciting yes!?

CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole blog hop is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catalogues are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.

Here's my card:

I'm using a brand new stamp set called Build a Birthday with some new Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper and Cherry On Top Washi Tape from the same suite. 

The candle is a washi tape strip with the flame in Delightful Dijon on top. 

The ribbon is the beautiful Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim. I folded it over to get a thinner strip. 

The little fringed embellishments are made from the NEW Cotton Paper in Delightful Dijon. Very easy to do with the Fringed Scissors. They look so cute in real life. :)

I can't show you the original inspiration, but I can tell you that I was inspired by a wrapped present in the catalogue that featured all these elements. :) 

Edited to include inspiration photo after 2nd June: 

I'm also linking this to Seize the Birthday - they have an Anything Goes challenge at the moment. :)
