Kellys Celebration Anniversary Hop

Happy 5 Year Stampin' Up! anniversary to the amazing Kelly Kent.

This hop is in celebration of my dear friend who I have been lucky to have met through this awesome hobby of ours! 

You have come on over from Deborah's page

It is all about celebrations/ happy so I thought I would post a card of a recent birthday that we went to using some new products with some retiring products.... 

I also taught this card in a recent card class....

I can not believe that I had actually never done a box card in any classes of mine!!!

I love making them so I am not sure why??

I think there has always been other cool techniques to teach.

• Stamps: Fabulous Flamingo
• Ink:  Memento, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Always Artichoke
• Card: Whisper White, Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Silver Glimmer and Pop of Paradise DSP
• Tools: Large Numbers Framelits with the bigshot and the new Pretty Label Punch
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon

Kelly has such an amazing lineup of people joining her on his anniversary celebration that there are two hops to look at... one super popular lady!

This is another gorgeous Autumn colour theme but I did something a bit different with it.
My most disliked colour is in this particular challenge.... that it is most definitely a challenge...

Here is what I finally came up with..

I used the swiping technique for the background and an old RAC card that I had in my wallet cut up into different sized pieces.

The bird I cut in the smoky slate then glued a piece of Dijon to the back and fussy cut it out.
I then cut another bird in Cajun and pieced the smaller pieces back into the bird for a bit of colour.

• Stamps: Best Birds
• Ink: Cajun Craze, Delightful Dijon and Smoky Slate
• Card: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze and Smoky Slate
• Tools: Birds and Blooms Thinlits & Stitched Shapes Framelits with the bigshot
• Embelishments: Dimensionals & In Colour Doiley flipped to the white side

Hop around to Rose's project and prepare to be wowed!

You can never have too many birthday cards so that is what I did with it!

The picture was coloured with stampin' write markers and stamped onto the whisper white cardstock.

Now this colour combo looked a bit like gerberas to me so I made some 3D ones.... Then the internet was flooded with them so I went back to the drawing board and made a card with some on. I really didn't want to use new product just yet but this is what came into my head so I went with it.

I hope you are enjoying these colour challenges as I am surely challenged each fortnight which is wonderful as I love a bit of a challenge

ESAD Eastern Palace Suite Blog Hop

Hello from the ever so talented Lou's Page

I tried to make something a little different to what I have seen floating around the internet so here are my two cards.

I made this one first as I am loving the new in Colour Lemon Lime Twist and I am missing one of my besties in Busselton so I think it might be going her way very soon.....

Then I decided on an easel card with the new stickers as the feature in the centre of the medallion. I tried to use the DSP as a different background but I feel it has made this card a little busy.
Oh well someone will love it!

• Stamps: Eastern Beauty
• Ink:  Dapper Denim, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig
• Card: Dapper Denim, Fresh Fig, Emerald Envy, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Berry Burst, Gold and Silver Foil and Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper.
• Tools: Layering Circles Framelits and Eastern Medallion Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot
• Embelishments: Dimensionals, Glitter Enamel Dots and Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers

Be amazed as next on this hop is Kim Oliver
