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! - Color Coach Challenge #130 - Layered Letters Alphabet

Basic Black #3

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

You are not going to believe this but this is my FINAL Color Coach Challenge card...yes....I have actually blogged my way through the Color Coach and finished!!!

So what better card to celebrate that this YAY card! :)

(except I've just realised that I forgot to add an apostrophe with a white gel pen to the IT'S) Ack! I shall write it in now. 

The Color Coach combination is Basic Black and Basic Gray. I was inspired by this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches  I loved that the large Layered Letters Alphabet greeting could take centre stage.

I white heat embossed the Alphabet Rotary Stamp greeting onto Basic Gray card stock and snipped them into banners. I did the very trendy thing of coiled metallic thread and staplers as embellishments.

I also made an envelope with the Envelope Punch Board out of black paper. When it comes time to address it, I will use a chalk pen as it gives a wonderful chalkboard effect on a black envelope. 

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.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Farmers Market DSP

Hi!

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

This week the Blog Hop challenge is all about CASE-ing a project from the Artistic Expression section (pages 111 - 134 ) 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.

I really found it hard to choose a project to CASE. This section of the catalogue is bursting with beautiful inspiration.

I managed to narrow it down to this card that uses the Farmers Market DSP.

I used a Blackberry Bliss base and stamped it with the Hardwood stamp with Blackberry Bliss ink...you probably can't see it very well in the photo but it is there. I wanted to echo the hardwood background (which is DSP) from the original card. 

I layered a metallic foil doily, some burlap ribbon and some Crumb Cake satin ribbon under my greeting. If the greeting looks a bit familiar, it's because it is a scrap practice piece from this card. :)

I finished it off with a gold button (vintage SU) and tied some of the trimmed burlap though that. 

Here's my inspiration....
