You have come from  Lou Kitzelman's page. So lovely that you hopped on by

I decided to use The Cups and Kettle Framelits along with the have a cuppa DSP and A Nice Cuppa Stampset.

This is a side stepper card that I came up with

I couldn't stop there so I also made a box card with it

I am really loving the colours that they have used in the paper stack.
So bright and cheery!!!
(There is also a hint of wink of stella on these cards too)

I haven't blogged thise pics below so I thought I would add them to the blog hop.

I added black to my colour combo to make it pop.

Yes well I am loving all the florally sets in this catalogue. Just beautiful.
The rose petals do have a bit of colour on them with a sponge dauber to add some depth and a dash of wink of stella, but pictures don't show it well!

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 67

Well you have jumped to my page from the amazing Alisa

A sketch week this week and I have to use the Botanical Gardens set again as I am loving it!

Here is the sketch

I thought that using the flowers as the flagging up the top would work and making my own background paper as I didn't want to use the papers and colours that go with this set.

Pretty what are your thoughts?
To be honest I really did not like this set when I first saw it and then I saw some amazing things made by Carolyn Bennie so I just had to have it... I have been super happy with the cards that I have come up with.

• Stamps: Botanical Blooms and sentiment from Balloon Builders
  
• Ink:  Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey
• Card: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder and Hello Honey
• Tools: Botanical Builder Framelits Dies with the Bigshot, 1 1/4 inch punch, sponge daubers
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and wink of stella
  

Lets see what Leah has been up to this week

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 66

You have hopped on over from  Janes page a great fellow cardmaker/ creator.

Something Different this week we are showcasing the new Saleabration Catalogue

There are some really gorgeous goodies coming up in the Sale-a-bration catalogue.
This is one of my favorites as I don't own alot of male type stampsets.

The front of the card

The card 1/2 way slid out

All the way slid out
It has the effect that it is flying across the card which is an idea I have had in my head since I received the stampset.

• Stamps:  Sky is the limit (upcoming saleabration catalogue)
  
• Ink:  Basic Grey
• Card: Whisper White, Basic Grey and Perfectly Artistic DSP (upcoming saleabration)
• Tools: Cupcake Builder and Tree Builder punches
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and 1/8' mini brad
  

Hop on over to Leahs blog to see what Saleabration items she used on her card.
