Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Alternative

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today is Scrapbooking Global day!! Each month we share some great inspiration for you!

This month we are sharing some great alternatives to our Stampin' Up! workshop kits.

I've used the fabulous Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Kit.

And I've taken my inspiration from the catalogue featuring the gorgeous coordinating stamp set Weekend Adventures.

I like the torn pieces of designer paper and all the extra bits of colour used with a blending brush.

This kit worked perfectly for our camping photos and I love this Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop kit so much and can see it being used a LOT in my craft room!

The little stickers and extras in the kit work really well for adding extra interest.

 

I really hope YOU are inspired to try this!!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AMAZING projects!!

Paper crafting monthly blog hop - Masculine

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today I'm joining the fabulous paper crafting monthly blog hop of fabulous international crafters.  Join us for a world tour of inspiration!

This month we are featuring Masculine projects!

I've used the amazing rip and flip technique to create this card using the Weekend Adventures designer paper.

I love the splotchy stamp image - makes adding texture super easy and doubles as the perfect way to disguise splotchy mistakes!!

The greeting is the awesome Layered Thoughts stamp set combined with the imagery from the Weekend Adventures stamp set.  

Here's a quick video showing this fun technique.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AWESOME inspiration!!

Emboss Resist Technique with Charming Day bundle CTC#524

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING a technique from the catalogue - and there were LOTS of choose from!  I love all the hints and tips in the catalogue - they give me lots of great inspiration!

I love the technique of emboss resist - and in the catalogue we have some super awesome paper that makes this sooooo easy!!  So my card is inspired by the technique card on page 116 of the catalogue.  

This is the tag I used on the kit bags for our Retreat Day yesterday.  The colours are Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock - AND I've used the amazing Charming Day Suite coming in August (OR you can order it EARLY if you're a demonstrator and I can help you do that if you're keen!!)

I love the leaf detail in this diecut.  The tag bottom and top uses the Elegant Edge Tag Topper which is so sweet with these colours!! 

Up next is the extraordinary Rebecca

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of great ideas!

Along These Lines Colour INKspiration #189

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn!

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

These colours were a challenge for me!  I'm not a fan of Melon Mambo at all, so, my solution is to use lots of white space and minimal pinks!

I've used the Along These Lines stamp set, which is a very interesting stamp with fun images of a heart, dog, tiger, rose, fish, bicycle and bird.

I stamped the image using Melon Mambo ink and then coloured using Wink of Stella which blended the colour very softly.  I also painted Cloud Cover for the rest of the cake with the Wink of Stella -  I do love the sparkle.  I've used the Darling Duckling Flat Pearls for the candle flames.  And finally the Secret Sea for the greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.  

Inside is more stamping from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set  - I love those dots!!  

The embossed card front is a sneak peek!!  This is the Peaceful Greenery folder coming in our Mini Catalogue starting in September!!  And it looks lovely with this cake I think!!  

I hope you are inspired!!
