Social Stamping Blog Host - Hearts

Welcome to the latest Social Stamping Blog Host, today we will be sharing our creations with the theme Hearts. Thank you to Kelly Kent for organizing another amazing blog hop with these wonderful women. 

When I think of hearts, I think of all the love we share when making a card to someone and showing them just how much they mean to us. Expect to see lots of love in our creations.

The products for my card that I have used today, some are retiring and some are brand new! I really like how I've put the greys with pinks and white together.

To start off with the tiny stitched hearts, I've mixed Rococo Rose Ink and Frost White Shimmer Paint together on a acrylic block, this gives a really nice pearl look to the coloured ink. I brushed the ink onto a strip of Shimmery White Cardstock and die cut out the stitched hearts. 

The panel for the card is the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and it's just stunning! I especially like the greys. I ran the DSP through my die cutting machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I added a strip of Rococo Rose In Color 6"x 6" gingham DSP (retiring) under the Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon (retiring).

The Vellum swirl adds a different shade of grey and layer to the card. I've stamped the large heart image in Rococo Rose and punch it out with the coordinating punch. For the grey heart I've used the DSP and Heat Embossed White Stampin' Emboss Powder and punched out the with the Heart Punch.

I've added a few of the Clear Epoxy Droplets to finish off the card.

Social Stamping Blog Host - Animals

Hello,

Welcome to our latest Social Stampers Blog Hop for this week we are showcasing the theme “Animals”.

I recently received a Stampin’ Up! order and in the BBB (Big Brown Box) was the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, which is available for purchase as of the 3^rd June 2020. The DSP is of photographic images and visual textures which I thought would work well with the Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set.

I love the different coloured tones of the DSP, so I coordinate the water coloured deer using Early Espresso, Cajuin Craze and Sahara Sand. The dear fits nicely in the die which is from the Tasteful Labels Dies.

I’ve placed some strips of the DSP under the deer, giving the card some different wood textures. The panels of DSP and Early Espresso Cardstock have been curled at the corners and I used the blade of my paper snips to ruff up the edges of the DSP. The panel of Early Espresso Cardstock is embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is from the Seaside Notions Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake Cardstock.

Kylie's International Blog Highlights September 2019 Thinking Of You Card

Today I am participating in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights. The theme for this hop is Encouragement and to vote for my card by clicking on the link below.

The card that I’ve created is for a customer who has placed an order with my hubby's company which is a hamper business called YV Hampers (Facebook Page). I make the cards for the hampers, we source produce from the Yarra Valley, Victoria and sell as Gourmet Premium Hampers. 

The request was for a “Thinking of you” masculine card, so I had chosen the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and Nature’s Roots Dies this suits both feminine and masculine cards. The following colours are Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The card base is Pretty Peacock stamped with the leaf stamp in the same colour and the gorgeous gingham DSP also in Pretty Peacock.

The next layer is Crumb Cake Cardstock stamped with the coordinating Ink using the Rooted In Nature leaf stamps. The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder creates a subtle impression onto paper giving it a unique effect. To give the piece of Subtle Cardstock an old look I’ve used my Paper Snips, ran the edges with the blade and then sponged Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Ink.  

The Crumb Cake tree trunk also has been sponged with both Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Inks. I like to add copper to the trio of colours using Copper Stampin’ Embossing Powder and Copper Trim which is a loose weave metallic trim. 

The Linen Thread has been coloured in using the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend this gave the Thread a darker look against the Crumb Cake Cardstock.

I added three Pretty Peacock textured leaves sponged also in the same coordinating Ink. The greeting Thinking of You has been stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Crumb Cake Cardstock and fussy cut out with the Paper Snips.

When layering up my cards I always like to add layers with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.

Voting for my card is easy, just by clicking on the Vote For Me image and chose my card.
