Stampin' Up! Star of Light 3D for CTC#95

Hello and Welcome back to our Sunday Night Blog Hop where we Copy and Share Everything and hopefully inspire you to choose our Catalogues for your creative inspiration.

This week, we are being inspired by our favourite 3D item in the Holiday Catalogue.

And I've gone for this lovely star from the Star of Light stamp set and coordinating framelits.

I've stamped this lovely image first, and then used the framelit to cut the shape around my stamping.

I think used our glorious gold glimmer paper to cut the very fine and detailed central star shape.

There are actually six sides to my ornament - 3 blank, and 3 with the glimmer paper stamped star duo.  The star is hung using the lovely gold bakers twine that comes in a fabulous triple pack of red, green and gold bakers twine - awesome for Christmas!

Now it's time for you to continue hopping all the way around the blog - either back to Krissy, or forwards to Deb - who both do amazing projects so you'll definitely want to hop!!

   

And when you've been totally inspired, be sure to jump in with our monthly challenge and you can use this link to get there.

And we'll see you again next Sunday night!!

Gift Box Library

I've made myself a Library - and I didn't buy any books to do it!!  I created them with paper and ink!!..... actually that's how all library's are created aren't they??

I recently created a gift box that looks like a book - and you can see that post HERE.

Well, I was so please with myself, I've created more - and played around with trying different embellishment on the front and spine.

I tired heat embossing with gold aiming for a leather bound and embossed look.

I've also used Gorgeous Grunge to stamp lines along the sides to emulate the pages of a book.

These little boxes are the perfect size for a little homemade biscuit or a mini chocolate bar for the non baker!!

I think they are the perfect gift for the book lovers in my life!!

Book Gift Box

Have you got any book loving friends?

This is a fantastic gift box, that would fit a perfect piece of chocolate brownie for your sweet and book loving friends!!

My book loving friend was asking for some ideas, and this is what I've come up with.  I've used 2 stamp sets - Banners for You and Helping Me Grow, along with the coordinating Banners For You framelits, and Rose Garden framelits for the front embellishments.

I've chosen my colours based on the colour challenge from Just Add Ink this week - head on over to see some awesome projects with this fun colour combination!!

and if you are interested, here are some dimensions for my box.  These diagrams are NOT to scale however, simply a way for you to measure, score and cut your cardstock to create a similar project!!

My Hero for TGIF Challenge

I know a few people that need cheering up at the moment - so, it's time to create some get well cards..... and I've used these gorgeous colours from TGIF challenges to make a very pretty version!!

If you click on the graphic you'll go to the blog and see lots of gorgeous projects from the design team!!

I've used the RMHC stamp set My Hero, and combined it with some images from Sprinkles of Life (the RMHC stamp set from last year!!!)  I've also used the Softly Falling embossing folder in the background for more rainy imagery!  Even the glittery raindrops are Blushing Bride - how cool is that!!  It's a bit tricky to see in the photo but I've used some of the fine tip glue pen to make very shiny and raised raindrops too!!

What a sweet card!  And I'm sure it will cheer someone!

Stampin' Up! Tuscan Vineyard for the Challenge!!

I really love this bunch of grapes, and I've been keen to paint them as green grapes (which are my favourite) after I CASED the card in the Catalogue HERE. which features purple grapes.

And so, armed with the challenge from FMS for a sketch layout, I've added in the lovely grapes for the GDP food challenge!!  You can see the awesome work of these design teams if you click on each of the graphics below.

   

So what do you think?  Good enough to eat??????

Stampin' Up! Tin of Tags for CTC#94

Hello and Welcome to Caseing the Catty Sunday blog hop!  This week we begin CASEing (Copy and Share Everything) projects from our wonderful new Holiday Catalogue.  So you will absolutely HAVE to hop around the entire design team - especially if you're about to embark on your Christmas Crafting!!

The first chapter is the Candy Cane Lane Suite - from pages 4 - 7.  Now, I know there are not many pages, but there are so many inspirational projects!!

I immediately went to this great project on page 4 - Why?  Because it's flagged as Quick and Easy and the whole list of supplies is there with the title You Can Make It!!

So, I thought, well, YES I CAN.

However, I haven't ANY of the Candy Cane Lane supplies - so it's time to improvise and adapt!!

I've used the fabulous Tin of Tags stamp set for all the greetings - 

and there are LOTS in this stamp set - so this was a great choice!!.

Then, I used the neutrals patterned paper (instead of the Candy Cane DSP - which is gorgeous by the way!!), and mounted it onto real red card stock with the white or black bakers twine sandwiched in between the two layers.

I've used all the same colours AND the 2" circle punch for the tags - and it looks great don't you think!!??  What a fun project for making tags this year for Christmas.  As it says in the catalogue "Create all your Seasonal Tags in a burst of Crafting Fun"

Well I'm 6 tags ahead for my gift giving this year!!  Woohoo!!

Now it's time for you to continue your Sunday Night Blog Hop - 

either forward to Jackie or in reverse to Judy.... ............we have all the J's together this week!! 

Judy, Julia and Jackie  (teehee, I love a bit of alliterations!!)

  

And when you've be sufficiently inspired, make sure you pop your entry into our monthly challenge and join in the fun with us!  

We love to share our creativity with you, and we love it when you share your creativity with us!!
