Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - Thinking of You

Hello and Welcome to our monthly blog hop featuring a bunch of international crafters who love to share ideas with you!!  This month, we are thinking of you!!

I just looooove the fonts in the Go to Greetings stamp set, so this was my automatic pick for this theme.  I've paired it with the Leaf Fall embossing folder and Nature's Harvest coloured with Stampin' Blends.  

Behind the floral cluster is another of the amazing Harvest Dies cut using the Rose Gold Foil which is super shiny!!  

Inside the card, I've coloured the greeting using a Stampin' Write marker so that I could stamp half of the greeting.

I also created this same card using Blackberry Bliss - which is your favourite?  Crumb Cake or Blackberry Bliss.

Up next is the amazing Annette and her great project!

A Cute box inspired by the Bundles Chapter CTC#391

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

To CASE is to Copy And Selectively Edit or to Copy And Share Everything, and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues.  

This week, we are CASEING from the bundles chapter in the Mini Catalogue.  

I've had a marvellous time CASEING this project featuring the Splendid Thoughts Bundle featured and then adapting it to fit with the fabulous Envelope Treat boxes.

The basic layout on the Splendid Day designer paper belly band is the same, but I've added it for a box!  

These cute boxes are also stampable, and so there's a little extra colour on the box - I stamped it before I put the box together.  You don't need any extra adhesive for these boxes either as they come with strong tape already attached.  

I love the way the white die cut Splendid Stems extend the imagery from the Splendid Day paper. 

Here's the box and the belly band separately.  Soooo cute!!

UP next on our hop is the awesome Kathryn to inspire you!  Make sure you keep hopping to see them all.

You are ALWAYS welcome to add your project inspired by our theme here!

Treat Box meets Lights Aglow CT#131

Hello and Welcome to our Colour Challenge!

This is an amazing group of creative people who use Stampin' Up! supplies to create using colours inspired by Pinterest.

Check out these gorgeous colours this week!!  

Although these colours would be brilliant for Christmas, I've chosen to make a general type of card.  This is a coordinating gift card and cute box combo!  I've used the Vanilla Notes Cards and Envelopes and combined with Lights Aglow designer papers.  

To highlight the fabulous centre panel, I've punched some Sweet Sorbet using the Decorative Circle punch and then added a greeting from the Charming Sentiments bundle stamped using the Early Espresso ink.  I love the touches of gold and also the Crumb Cake stamping in the background.

The cute little box was created using the gorgeous Design a Treat Box dies and another of the great Charming Sentiments greetings.  

This little treat box can fit one of my favourite chocolates - Lindt!!  What a great yummy gift package.

Colours to make you smile!! CTC#390

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

To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything  or Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (CATTY).

This week, we are CASEING the Colours of the Santa's Express designer paper, which are happy and  bright and also traditional Christmas Colours.

I've used them with a fabulous stamp set for colouring - the Apple Harvest stamp set.  I've coloured the apples using Poppy Parade and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.  The Leaves were coloured using Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends.    The apples and flowers were stamped using Evening Evergreen ink.

I've used the Mint Macaron for the card base, and also for the subtle stamping behind the apple - I love stamps like this that can hide any smudges or imperfections!  Can you see the subtle scoring on the edge of my card front?  I just scored a couple of lines using my trimmer and the scoring blade at half centimetre measurements.  

The inside of the card repeats the front with the stamping of the flowers in Evening Evergreen and then colouring using Stampin' Blends.  

I added some extra stamped flowers which I have fussy cut - I've actually CASED one of the cards featuring this stamp set on page 54 of your June to December Mini Catalogue.  My final touch is these gorgeous silver flowers which looks so pretty!!  

Do you like these colours used on a non Christmas card?  Please let me know what you think.

Make sure you keep hopping around everyone to see all the great ideas using these colours!

Up next is the amazing Michelle - you'll love her project!!
