Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Botanical Gardens + Happy Birthday Everyone

Hi

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

Here are the essentials:

• 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. 
• 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.  
• 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.  

Here is our sketch for this week:

Stampin' Up! Australia - Happy Birthday Everyone - English Garden DSP

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Tamsin's blog!

When I sat down to create this card, I had NO idea what I was going to do. So I reached for the first pack of Designer Series Paper and decided to commit to the first one that was on the top of the pile.  It happened to be English Garden and then this set the tone for my card. I used the coordinating colours of the DSP....Old Olive for the base mat, Mossy Meadow for the banner, Blushing Bride for the flower and border strip and Melon Mambo for the greeting.

Here is our sketch for this week....

TIP! The miniature leaves for my flower were punched from Old Olive card stock using the Tree Builder punch....the little teardrop shape! Perfect for little leaves. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Everyone

Hi!

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

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a project inspired by the Hostess stamps section of the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalogue (pages179 - 181). 

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.

When I saw this card in the catalogue...I fell in love with it...the layout and the sentiment. 

I didn't have the background dahlia stamp so I used my vintage Medallion stamp instead. 

Here's my inspiration....

I hope you like my card. If you have been inspired by it and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store.
