Stamp N Hop April Blog Hop

Hello, my names Linda and I live on a small island in the UK, I am joining other Stampin Up demonstrators from around the world to inspire you to create. Please hop along with us, just click the button below to see Susan Simpsons beautiful project.

This month's Stamp N Hop is favourite items from the Annual Catalogue.

This was a hard choice as there are lots of great stamp sets, paper e.t.c in this catalogue. After much thought I decided to go with the Stamp and die set Celebration Time.

Made a quick pizza box

When I first saw last years catalogue I knew I was going to use this paper pack lots and lots and I wasn't wrong. I used markers in Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Sweet Sugarplum to scribble lines onto watercolour paper. Then I spritzed them with water and when dry cut the cakes out. The gold glitter flakes were glued to the bottom of the cake. When the cake was dry this was then a quick card to put together.

Just in case your not wanting a pink and gold sparkly card, here is a green and gold sparkly card!

I hope you like my Celebrate card, don't forget to hop along!

Kre8tors April Blog Hop

Hello, my names Linda and I'm very pleased you are joining us on this months blog hop.

We are a group of Stampin Up Demonstrators from around the world and our aim is to inspire you to create!

This months theme is a Colour Challenge

This colour challenge was a challenge for me! When I started looking at my colours I was quickly aware that I only had two of these colours in inks! But I did have all the colours in paper form so I designed my card around this fact.

We have to use at least three of these colours, we can also use Basic Black, Whisper White or Metallics. Each card I made has three of the colours plus white or black.

For two of the cards I stamped the backgrounds using the Bubble Over Bundle the other two I die cut bottles, straws and bottle caps, which I then glued to my base layers. I kept the dies the same colour as the base layer. This gives lots of interest to the card but doesn't over power it.

Can you see I've made my own Designer Series Paper by stamping birthday sentiments over my chosen paper colour, this is a great tip for backgrounds, tone on tone looks great also.

March Ink and Share Blog Hop

Hello, thanks for joining us on our blog hop this month. We are all Independent Stampin Up Demonstrators and hope to inspire you! My names Linda and I live on a small island in Essex UK.

This month's theme is Spring/Easter, I decided to go for Easter.

When I think of an Easter Card I always think of bunnies, I do not have any bunny stamps so had to think outside the box.

I love the unicorn cards, cakes you see on Pinterest and thought why not make a bunny card in the same style. This took quite a lot of brain power but I came up with a card in the end!

I stitched some whiskers on this card.

Using the Foxy Friends stamp set, I inked up the antlers for eyes. I think it worked really well, I did cut my stamp, but it is possible to do the eyes without cutting the stamp.
