Whimsical Trees for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop - November 2021


Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am delighted to be taking part in the Ink and Inspiration blog hop for November. The theme this month is Use Your Stash and I am using some trees cut out with the Christmas Trees dies from the Whimsy and Wonder suite together with a sentiment from the Christmas Whimsy Card Kit.


The theme of this Blog Hop is very apt at the moment! I have little piles of bits and pieces all over my desk. As I start making a batch of cards I often cut or stamp out several of the same thing in different colours. It gives me options and I can see what works out best by using trial and error! It is very rare that the picture I have in my head at the start of my cardmaking ends up being exactly like the finished card. So, as a result I have little piles growing round my desk...they might be useful someday, so I don't throw tham away. The neat and tidy person in me (sometimes!) packs them up with the relevant stamps or dies but, the creative me moves on to another project and leaves little piles of disgarded elements all over my desk ready to use another time! 


Well, these fantastic trees are left overs from an old project and are from one of those said piles. They are absolutely gorgeous and look stunning grouped as a little trio on this snowy scape. I can't believe that this is my first blue, silver and white card this year - It's a classic combination that I adore. I stamped the Seasnon's Greetings using Night of Navy ink onto a square of Basic White card and then embossed it with the Wintry 3d folder. Luckily, I had had the forethought to use adhesive sheets on the card before die cutting the trees so they were super easy to adhere to the embossed background. 


To finish, I wrapped some of the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the layer and, using glue dots, also added a tiny bow. They twinkle beautifully when they catch the light. Naturally, I had to add a trio of Metallic Pearls to complete the look!


Now, all I need to do is convert the other neglected piles into more cards. I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too - click on the names below to enjoy their  projects.

Customer Thank You cards for November 2021 - Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop


Hello! I am participating in a blog hop organised by Kylie and Bruno Bertucci as part of their Demonstrator Training Program. We are a group of Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and to reach some goals that we have set. So, whether you are a regular visitor or if you have hopped in from another blog, I am delighted to welcome you here to my blog!  


Throughout the hop we are sharing ideas and inspiration for Thank You cards to send to our customers during November. If you place an order with me during November you will receive one of these cards as a thank you for your purchase together with one of the All Star video tutorial bundles as a gift.


I am featuring the Biggest Wish set, from the Annual catalogue, for my cards this month. Mixing and matching the selection of big bold words the scripty curvy ones is such fun. I used my Stamparatus to stamp the column of THANKS and chose colours to coordinate with the shades in the narrow strip of Pattern Party paper (available by using Stampin' Rewards).


The large THANKS fits beautifully in the Stitched So Sweetly die cut shape - the letters are just the right size! And, just to emphasize the thanks element of the card a bit more, I added a scripty one aswell. I used Misty Moonlight on top of the Pool Party for the blue card together with some Denim ribbon (available in the upcoming Mini catalogue) and some metallic pearls. The second version needed a bit more oomph, so I heat embossed the thanks in gold and used gold ribbon and pearls.


Thank you so much for visiting today, I hope you have been inspired! As mentioned at the beginning, this is a blog hop so make sure you hop around to see the other amazing projects on the hop! Click on the links below to visit them.

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - November 2021

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am taking part in a blog hop with some fellow enthusiasts who love sharing their creative talents using their Stampin' Up!® products. This month the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop is all about Being Thankful for You.


My card today is simple in construction, but the sentiment packs a punch and there is no doubt as to its meaning. This thanks, from the Biggest Wish stamp set, has a handwritten feel about it and although the curvy lines are soft and flowing, using it repeatedly makes a bold statement.


I've only used two colours on my card; Flirty Flamingo and Basic White. Well, three colours if you include the gold ribbon and metallic pearls! By stamping the sentiment full strength and then again without reinking to get the lighter shades it looks as if more colours have been used - I love using this technique. It's so simple and effective. For the card front the words are stamped, in rows,
over a white panel to create a background piece which then sits next to a thin strip of patterned paper.  

For the focal point the thanks is stamped again, punched using the Tailor Tag Punch and layered onto a Flirty Flamingo Stitched So Sweetly die cut. They layer together beautifully. To finish the card there is twisted gold ribbon under the label and a trio of Metallic Pearls. Whether you are saying thanks for a helping hand or a gift, sending a card is the perfect gesture to express those sentiments. Let's acknowledge all those acts of kindness!


I hope that you are inspired by my card today and that you will continue along the hop to see what the others have created too. Enjoy the projects. We would love to hear from you and so if you have been inspired, please leave a comment.
