INK IT! STAMP IT! - 3D BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Blog Hop. This month we are sharing 3D projects. You may have arrived here from seeing the Carolina's project if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the full line up below will guide you through all the projects.

I've created a selection of boxes and packages each containing gifts for my Bingo Class attendees. As I had a range of different shaped gifts I needed packaging to suit.

On the left are little boxes 8.5cm x 8.5cm and on the right little pockets 9cm x 15cm made using the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper.

These boxes are also made from the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper. The smaller boxes are 7cm x 7cm and 4cm high, the larger box is 9cm x 9cm and 7cm high. The bases have been made with Whisper White Cardstock.

These packets are so easy to make, just wrap the Designer Series Paper around your gift, trim to size, glue the bottom, punch a couple of holes in the top for some twine and tie a bow!

The top left box is made with Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper and the bottom two use Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (a Sale-A-Bration Freebie).

To co-ordinate all the gift packaging, I stamped Hello Beautiful from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set in Night of Navy, used the Story Label Punch, added birds and butterflies from the Well Written Framelits Dies and tied everything up using Whisper White Flax Ribbon and Night of Navy Baker's Twine. The stitching around the punched label has been added using the Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop. You won't want to miss all the fabulous projects the team has to share!  

DOILY BIRTHDAY - STAMPIN' UP! ARTISAN BLOG HOP

Hello and welcome to February's Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop. It's such an honour to be part of this amazing team of talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world and we look forward to sharing and inspiring you with our creations.

This month we are featuring the Dear Doily and Well Said Bundles. I've combined both these bundles to create three very sparkly birthday cards!
 

The Doily Builder Thinlits Dies are so much fun to use, and work perfectly with the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets - just peel away the backing, attach to the back of the Gold Glimmer Paper, place the die on top and run it through the Big Shot using Precision Base Plate, peel off the other backing and voilà a sticky doily!
 

How cute is the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder? It's so delicate and pretty and makes a stunning background.
 

 
This is the largest doily in the selection, and makes a pretty statement on its own.

The Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies created the frame for this card. I cut the doilies to create a lacey look.
 

All three cards have the doilies die cut in the Gold Glimmer Paper, with "happy" and "birthday" from the Well Written Framelits Dies (I used the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets for this too) in Basic Black Cardstock. "Birthday" and "Wishes" from the co-ordinating Well Said Stamp Set are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and punched out using the Classic Label Punch with the ends trimmed. A sprinkling of black sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment and bows tied in Pool Party to match the Pool Party Cardstock. The Pool Party twine is from the Silver & Pool Party Baker's Twine with the silver and white removed!

Enjoy the rest of the hop, it's full of lots of fabulous projects and inspiration! 

Next up on the hop is my lovely friend and talented fellow team member Ashley van Camp.

CASEING THE CATTY 215 - HOW SWEET IT IS SUITE

Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Our inspiration this week comes from the How Sweet it is Suite in the 2019 Stampin' Up!® Occasions Catalogue.  You may have arrived here from seeing Rose's lovely project if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the next button at the end of this post will take you on your journey.

 

 

This week my inspiration came from the "Just for You" card below on page 22 of the Catalogue.

 

 

I love the little 3" x 3" cards and they make great gifts all packaged up in the mini pizza boxes!

 

 

I used the little butterfly from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and punched it out with the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch to create my repeat pattern. The butterfly was stamped with Powder Pink on Whisper White Cardstock and adhered to Powder Pink Cardstock.

 

The flower and leaves stamps are from Forever Lovely and Happy Birthday is from Amazing Life and use Lovely Lipstick and Lemon Lime Twist Ink. Happy Birthday has been punched out using the Classic Label Punch and then I've trimmed the ends.

 

 

As I was enjoying this design I decided to make some more little cards! The background has been embossed with the Dot to Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

 

 
Behind the butterfly is a few circles of Rose Metallic Thread - it's so pretty!

STAMPIN' UP! ARTISAN DESIGN TEAM - SALE-A-BRATION COORDINATION

 

 

Welcome to the Artisan Design Team's Sale-A-Bration Coordination Promotion Blog Hop! We are excited to share some exciting brand new products being released to co-ordinate perfectly with select Sale-a-Bration items.

 

If you're a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator you can order these items now to create projects to inspire your customers. And Customers, these will be available for purchase from 1-31 March - but be in quick you won't want to miss out!

 

 

The More Than Words Stamp Set has 17 fun and fabulous sentiments in fonts that will add pizzazz to any creation! 



There's a sentiment for everything from New Year's to Christmas!
 

I've used my Stamparatus to line up the bold "wishes" and then hand stamped the striped half "wishes" to line up with the bottom of it! Birthday is stamped in Flirty Flamingo and punched out using the Story Label Punch - such a cute punch! I punched a second label in Flirty Flamingo, cut it in half and layered it behind the sentiment.

 

A hole punched in the side and threaded with some Silver and Pool Party Baker's Twine (with the Pool Party twine carefully pulled out to use on a future project) is tied in a bow and co-ordinates with the Silver Glimmer Paper.

 

I love the spotted Flirty Flamingo paper from Brights 15.2 x 15.2 cm (6 x 6") Designer Series Paper collection and the Powder Pink Iridescent Sequins add a little more sparkle!

 

You'll definitely want to add the Story Punch Label to your Stampin' Up!® stash. It will add a pretty "punch" to any project! 

 

 

My second card has also been created with the help of the Stamparatus. It made lining up the sentiments so easy! After I'd stamped the sentiments I used the Subtle Embossing Folder and then adhered the Story Label Punch with Dimensionals.

 

The flowers and leaves are from the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies and sit on some Silver Metallic Thread swirls. Once again a little bow and some sequin bring my card together.

 

Remember these products are for a limited time! Contact me now if you'd like to join up as a Demonstrator to have early access to these gorgeous new products or start that wish list now ready for 1 March ordering!

BUTTERFLY GALA SOUTH PACIFIC BLOG HOP

Today I'm excited to be hopping with the Australian girls from the Artisan Design Team. We are having a South Pacific Blog Hop and are showcasing projects from the Gingham Gala suite. The gorgeous projects my talented friends have created will totally inspire you! 

 

There are five light, fresh colours in classic gingham checks in the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper - Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. As I wanted to use all the colours these little 7.6cm x 7.6cm (3" x 3") note cards seemed a great way to do it!

 

 
The butterflies from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set have been white embossed onto vellum paper and punched out with the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch.

 
I've layered them onto a square of Shimmery White Cardstock that has been watercoloured with the co-ordinating ink and cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I also splattered from Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and added some water splodges!

 

The butterflies have also been adhered to swirls of Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine. I split the twine up to create thinner threads.

 

 
"For You" from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set has been white embossed on Basic Black Cardstock and given a lift with Dimensionals.

 
And finally, the black enamel dots are from the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots which I've coloured black with a Sharpie.
 
Due to the popularity of this set stocks are getting low so order now to avoid having to wait till more become available! Live in New Zealand please click on my "Shop Now" link above if you'd like to order these directly or email me on angela.frank00@gmail.com - I'd love to be your demonstrator!

INK IT! STAMP IT! - SALE-A-BRATION & OCCASIONS!

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Blog Hop. This month we are sharing projects from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Catalogues. You may have arrived here from seeing the lovely and talented Stephanie's project if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the full line up below will guide you through all the projects. 

 

These two cards use the Amazing Life Stamp Set - it's such a fun set and full of great sentiments and images! I used Lovely Lipstick and co-ordinated it with paper from the All My Love Designer Series Paper.

 

 

The strip on this card was created by white embossing the cake images onto Shimmery White Cardstock and water colouring it with Lovely Lipstick Ink. I added Lovely Lipstick Enamel Dots from the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots pack and some Rhinestones to tie in with the Silver Glimmer Paper strip.

 

The little stitched scallop edge was created using the die from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies - I love stitching detail! Again I've used the same embellishments to tie everything together. The little pieces of curled silver thread have been pulled out from the Silver Baker's Twine.

These two catalogues are full of gorgeous Stampin' Up! product. Please contact me if you'd like to purchase anything or click the link above to my Online Store.
