Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Foil and Glimmer

Hi Crafters,

This is the last Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop of 2019 and our theme is Foil and Glimmer.  Oh the possibilities!  Keep hopping with us for international inspiration featuring Stampin' Up! products.  I love anything sparkly or shiny so this theme was a real treat!

I've made two cards, one featuring Stampin' Up!'s Silver Glimmer Paper and the other showcases our Gold Foil Sheets.  The cards have been made with the same layout and techniques but they look pretty different!  

For the card above I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and placed tape along all four sides to create a frame.  I added colour to the centre area with Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate inks, blending in the middle.  I removed the tape and stamped my sentiment which is from the So Many Stars stamp set in Silver Delicata metallic ink.  It shows up much better in real life.  I adhered a star flourish die cut in Silver Glimmer Paper and then mounted the panel onto a Smoky Slate card base with liquid glue.  

My second card is a little more stepped up with an embossing folder and some gold pearl embellishments.  I used the same technique with the tape and Daffodil Delight and Old Olive inks.  I embossed the panel using the Country Floral 3D embossing folder.  I used gold foil sheet for the die cut sentiment and stacked this on top of three plain Whisper White die cuts for added dimension.  To finish I adhered three groups of gold pearls in a triangular formation to draw the eye around the sentiment.  

I hope our hop is making you feel sparkly and to keep hopping just click arrow button below to head to Amanda's wonderful creation.  Thanks so much for hopping along with us throughout 2019 and if you're new, we have lots more inspiration in store in 2020.  

Happy crafting,

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Drinks Galore

Hi Crafters,

The Global Stamping Friends are back with another great blog hop.  This month we are celebrating all things liquid and refreshing with a Drinks Galore hop!

I chose to showcase two stamp sets featuring yummy drinks!  The first set was used to create the background and features the lemonade image from A Good Day.  I combined this set with Coffee Cafe to create the topper image.  The sentiment came from A Good Day too.

I created a card blank in Daffodil Delight.  I heat embossed the lemonade image in white on Shimmery White cardstock and then used my Aqua Painter to give a wash over the whole background in Daffodil Delight.  I added the borders from the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch in Coastal Cabana and adhered these with Tear and Tape which is super strong.  I stamped and fussy cut the ice cubes but used a Framelits die for the straw and vellum glass.  I stamped the sentiment in Daffodil Delight and punched out using a 1 3/8" scalloped circle punch.  

Thanks so much for stopping by on your hop around.  To keep hopping, head over to Marieke's blog using the clickable image below for more inspiration.  

Happy crafting,

A Special Reason

Hi Crafters,

I have been playing with some Stampin' Up! reinkers and I've made quite a few different patterns.  Today's card features a background made using reinkers in Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight.  I have also used the Special Reason stamp set and matching thinlits dies.  

To create the background I dotted the reinkers onto a Tim Holtz felt pad and then applied with light tapping all over the Whisper White cardstock.  I added some washi tape from the Floral Boutique range and then arranged my stamped and die cut images on top.

Don't forget that this is the last few hours of Sale-A-Bration.  You can earn free products with every £45 you spend.  Be sure to check out my store before this fabulous offer ends.  You could add the Make a Medallion stamp set to your order for free!

Happy crafting,
