The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 116

Welcome from Karens blog this week.

 

My oh my I absolutely love these colours!!

I must say I also absolutely love this new stampset and thinlits too!!

The background of the large hot air balloon I used my sponge daubers and made a gradual rainbow background with the colours. I think it worked perfectly. It is just a shame that the picture doesn't show how shimmery the pink balloon is at the bottom.

• Stamps: Lift Me Up
  
• Ink: Rose Red, Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant and Flirty Flamingo
• Card: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant, Flirty Flamingo and Cupcakes & Carousels DSP paper stack
• Tools: Up & Away Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot, Stampin Write Markers and sponge daubers
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals & Wink of stella

Next on the hop is back around to Jane

ESAD 2017 Occasions & Saleabration Catalogue Sneak Peek

Welcome from Samantha's blog.

This is a sneaky peek of what is to come next month for Saleabration and the Occasions Catalogues.

So I have combined two sets that work together perfectly.

• Stamps: Cool Treats & Tasty Trucks
  
• Ink:  Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate & Staz On
• Card: Whisper White, Watercolour Paper, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Tempting Turquoise 
• Tools: Layering Squares Framelits with the Bigshot, Triple Banner Punch, Black Stampin Write Marker and aqua painter
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Combining a set from the Occasions catalogue with a set from Saleabration works so so well.
I used Cool Treats as the background stamping on the Turquoise and Daffodil panels.

Next on the hop is the super amazing Kelly who does the most amazing work and I am proud to also call her a friend. (This is the most awesome thing about Stampin' Up! I would never have met her if it wasn't for my little hobby)

I thought this was the perfect opportunity to blog a couple of cards I made a little while ago and I took pictures of but they have been sitting waiting for this moment.
My inspiration at the time was actually my nail wraps I was wearing.

Here they are

• Stamps: Birthday Blooms, Sunshine Sayings
  
• Ink:  Staz On, Blushing Bride and Cucumber Crush
• Card: Whisper White, Night of Navy
• Tools: 1/8" handheld circle opunch

I hope you enjoyed these cards and it has prompted you to use anything around you for inspiration for a card.

Here is a list of the other amazing cards

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge 112

Welcome from Cindys blog this week.

 

I did think no I won't use anything from the upcoming catalogue but I couldn't resist having a play with the new Balloon Adventures Bundle. I did steer away from the Party Animal DSP and used the new Sending Love Paper Stack as I wanted it to be Red..
(It is for a very very special friend of mine who has a birthday this weekend and who hopefully isn't reading this blog right about now.....)

I stuck the silver balloon on to the pop up part only by one side so it wasn't folded in the middle.

• Stamps: Balloon Adventures
  
• Ink: Real Red, Memento, Watermelon Wonder
• Card: Whisper White, Real Red, Silver Glimmer Paper, Watermelon Wonder and Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack
• Tools: Stitched Framelits & Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Next on the hop is Anna  I bet her creation is very specky  :-)
