Scapping Blog Hop - Travel Theme

Hello and Welcome to a super fun blog hop celebrating Travel!!



The Scrapbooking Global group is full of amazing inspiration and creative support for all scrapping adventures!!




After a look at my photos, I've discovered our travels are all in our local area, so I've looked at the theme in a different way!!





The greetings from the Above the Clouds stamp set were just perfect for our daughter embarking on the next exciting journey of her life after school!!

I've used lots of balloons picking up some of the colours in the photos, and the background elements come from Rooted in Nature for the trees, and Waterfront with Fable Friends for the grassy elements on the torn vellum. 

I've also used vellum to stamp some more clouds and pop over some of the balloons. 

The page title has been highlighted using Label Me Pretty and the coordinating Pretty Label punch.

I love the sentiments from this stamp set - and they are so appropriate as our daughter embarks on her adventures at University away from home!!

Up Next is Rebecca-Jo and her contribution for our Travel Hop - and lots more inspiration for you too!!



Make sure you keep hopping all around to see the amazingness from everyone!!

Clever DSP ways CTC#237

Hello and Welcome to our Sunday Night Blog Hop and Challenge CASEING the CATTY.

To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit.  We love to CASE from our Stampin' Up!  Catalogues!!

This week, we are CASEING a layout from page 151

 I'm CASEING the 'star' card at the bottom.    I love the little detail at the bottom centre of the card, and how it reflects the DSP all over the front.  

Instead of DSP, my first card features the gorgeous Bird Ballad Laser Cut card as my 'DSP' with some Bermuda Bay foil behind it to show of the spectacular laser cutting and the foil!!

The cake has been coloured with Stampin' Blends; the greeting was snipped in half and then popped behind each side of the cake stand, and I've used some Noble Peacock rhinestones to reflect the starry detail from the original card.  

My second card features some DSP as the feature element using fussy cut images from the Bird Ballad DSP.   

The greeting on either side of the central feature comes from the super cute stamp set New Wonders.  

I've again reflected the starry elements of the original by using fussy cut flowers from the same DSP pack.

My final card has got See a Silhouette DSP as the colour behind the laser cut card.  I've used the greeting from Memorable Mosaic as my central feature and then the side panels are stamped with another of the images from the same set.  

The little 'star' features are from the same stamp set, but I think they got a little lost with the gorgeous laser cut images this time.  Perhaps I should have used a more contrasting colour to the DSP behind!!

This was a great layout to use - super easy, and it worked a treat with these divine laser cut cards!!

Next up on our hop is the lovely Tina and her superb masculine card.

You are invited to be a part of the fun too!!  Grab your catalogue, and CASE one of the layouts on page 151, and add your photo to the lineup on our facebook challenge page.  You don't even need to have a blog!!

Soft and cute image and colours CI#59

Hello and Welcome to our wonderful Colour INKspiration Blog Hop and Challenge!!

Our Colours are inspired by some stunning images from Pinterest, and the colours applied from the amazing array of Stampin' Up! colours.

Our wonderful colours this time are:

Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso

I just love the cute little kitty in the photo and the inspiration colours would be stunning for Christmas and winter too!!

And these colours are also great for Masculine cards!!  

I'm teaching a class using the Mirror Image technique - there's a great dialogue box about this technique on page 139 of our Stampin' Up! catalogue.  I love that we can learn so much and be inspired by the amazingness of our catalogues!!

The mirror image technique works really well for reflections - and the lighthouse from Sailing Home looks awesome with the watery images from High Tide over the top of the mirror image!!  

You'll have to keep on hopping to see lots of wonderful ideas using these colours from the whole design team!!

Up next is Rachel's absolutely stunning floral card with the same colours!!!

You are invited to join in the fun with us too!  Get creating with these colours only (or very similar) and add your project to our lineup on our facebook challenge page here!!
