Hello Crafty Friends, Hope you are having a fabulous day. I am super excited to share today's post, as the card I have created is for the Just Add Ink Challenge Blog, as a Guest Designer!!! To say I was ecstatic when asked to join the Design Team for August & September is an understatement. I danced around the lounge, then quickly questioned if there had been some kind of mistake, and I had received the invitation in error.?!? Could this be right?!? You see, the Design Team are a phenomenal group of creators, chokka block full with many of my Stampin'Up! Idols. I am one of five Guest Designers, joined by the extremely talented Lou Kitzleman, Jo Stubbings, Rachael Lewsley and Denita Wright-Smee. This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is "Just Choose Two". I chose Pets and Patterned Paper. Admittedly I am not a big user of DSP, and thought this was definitely going to be a challenge for me. I didn't struggle as much as I thought I would as soon as I decided to use dotti paper. In fact, I ended up creating two cards and couldn't decide which one to submit! I procrastinated for over a week, finally deciding on the Double Z Fold Card. The staircase card was inspired by Amanda Bates - The Craft Spa. Amanda's work is ah-mazing! Check out Amanda's card that provided my inspiration here. I have used images from the following stamp sets - Pretty Kitty, Bookcase Builder, Bella & Friends (birds), Glamper Greetings (string of party lights) and Happy Birthday Gorgeous (party hats). Both sentiments stamps are from the Birthday Delivery stamp set. All images were stamped in Archival Black and coloured using Stampin'Up! Water Colour Pencils. Some retired DSP was used for the wallpaper and to provide the view looking out the window. I also used a teeny bit for the backing of the picture framed Antlers. I had to put lights on the Antlers! All images were fussy cut except the window and shelf which were Die cut using the Hearth & Home Thinlits. Some fine tip glue was added to the party hats and parrot on the shelf, and a few rhinestones to the flowers in the pot and the all the Kitty's collars. This is the card completely open and flat And this is how it looks folded up ready to post. Check out the Just Add Ink challenge blog to see all the amazing cards the Design Team have created. Why not join us by playing along with the challenge, its super easy, helps gets the creative juices flowing and you may even meet some lovely crafters out there in the blogisphere - I have and continue to do so everyday! Until next time, stay crafty
Hello and Welcome to my crafty blog. I made this card for my beautiful sister who lives in New Zealand. She loves animals and is a cat owner today but we grew up with dogs - mainly cocker spaniels. So when I saw the Kitty & Bella Stamp Sets in the Stampin' Up! 2017 Annual Catalogue I knew I had to get them to make my "Blister" a special birthday card. As mentioned she lives across the ditch so I needed to make sure my creation could be posted. This card was inspired by a fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator whose talents I admire immensely - Amanda Bates from The Craft Spa. She is a UK demonstrator and has been very generous with her talents and provided a lot of free tutorials on her website. Look her up - her work is amazing! I have used a few different stamp sets on this card: Pretty Kitty Bella & Friends Better Than Email Tin of Cards Blooms & Wishes Watercolour Words I have also used the Hearth & Home Window Dies, for the fireplace, window and the front doors. Project Life Cards & Label dies and Tags & Labels Framelits were also used to make the picture frames on the walls and the drawers. I will make a tutorial for this project in the near future, in the meantime happy crafting x

I have a confession. This stamp set, Pretty Kitty, was on my first order. I have been pulling it out to look at it and then putting it back again because it requires COLORING. Which gives me terrible anxiety 🙁...
On today's card I'm featuring a cute cuddly Bella and Friends. This puppy dog is adorable. If you've been following my summer adventures, you may have read that my parents Black Lab, Josie,

Hello, Crafters. I hope you had a great weekend. Yesterday I played with the new Pretty Kitty Stamp Set for the first time.

It is with mixed emotions that I show my project for this weeks What Will You Stamp? We are featuring Bella and Friends, the adorable dog themed stamp set suitable for many occasions. I found it very difficult creating this project using Bella and Friends, as just over a week ago I found out that my companion of almost 16 years has a tumour. Cleo's diagnosis was unexpected as she is still alert, active and has her usual appetite, including trying to sneak cat food given half a chance! She has such loving temperament, is still ball mad if you mention the word or spell it for that matter! I still remember her as a puppy, it seems like yesterday, she is so loving and loyal. I had many attempts before I was able to complete my photo collage and there were many tears shed during the process I coloured my images using Watercolour pencils and a Blender pen to make my "scruffy puppy" look alikes - if there is a burr or a grass seed to be found Cleo will find it, and then fussy cut the images. I die cut "Cleo" in Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock using the Large Letter Framelits and layered to create a slight shadow; inserted my Cleo look alike images from Bella & Friends then mounted on a piece of Sending Love DSP.

A very Happy New Year to y'all from the Stamp Review Crew! Can you believe it's 2018 already?! We're baaa-aack with a special bonus hop! The Stamp Review Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all across the globe who "gather" on the first and third Monday of each month to highlight a particular stamp set. Today's hop is a bonus! We are showcasing the adorable Bella & Friends stamp set, which was inspired by Million Dollar Achiever, Angie Juda! Yeah, when you hit that $1,000,000 in sales, you get all kinds of perks, and helping design a new stamp set is one of them. I calculated that at the rate I'm going, I should reach that milestone when I'm about 180 years old. *grin* But I digress.... If you started at the beginning of the hop, and are hopping in order, you just landed here from Kelly Kent's blog. Aren't her projects always aMAZing? If you started here, click the 'next' link to go on to the next stop. As you can see, the Bella & Friends stamp set is totally adorable, and I thought a shaker card for a child, or a special dog who is like a child (not naming any names here, but you know who you are!) would be cute. Since there are sequins in the shaker, naturally I had to use the Scattered Sequins Dynamic embossing folder! I added some Wink of Stella to some of the embossed sequins, as well as the frosting on the cupcake. And then fussy-cut those two sweet fluffy pups. I'm thinking a short-haired dog would have been a lot easier! That's my project to share, so now it's off to Mike Funke's blog, Stampin' Style, to see what he has in store for you! Thanks for stopping by, and I wish every one of you a blessed New Year!
