Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - February 2022

Monday 28 February 2022

Welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop.  We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators participating in this blog hop that features a fun sketch.  I used the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper along with the Blessings of Home Stamp Set for my sketch.  This paper is so pretty - it makes it easy to create lovely cards!

First, here's the sketch.

Now, here's my interpretation.



Instructions
  1. Cut Basic Black card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold on score line to form card base.
  2. Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base.
  3. Cut Designer Series Paper 1" x 4" (different pattern).  Adhere to card base about 2" from bottom
  4. Cut Blushing Bride card stock 2 1/2" x 4 1/4"
  5. Cut Basic White card stock 2 1/4" x 4"
  6. Stamp image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
  7. Add some colour to flowers using Water Painter and Blushing Bride ink
  8. Adhere to Blushing Bride card stock
  9. Adhere to card base
  10. Cut Heart & Home Doily in half
  11. Cut circle using Die from Basic White card stock
  12. Adhere to the Heart and Home Doily - in the centre
  13. Adhere to bottom edge of Designer Series Paper
  14. Stamp sentiment on a scrap of Basic White card stock
  15. Cut apart using Paper Snips and adhere to card base.
  16. Adhere embellishments
  17. Cut Basic White card stock 4" x 5 1/4"
  18. Stamp image in bottom right corner using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
  19. Adhere to the inside of the card.

                          Share It Sunday Blog Hop

                          Sunday 27 February 2022


                          It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop!  We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we're sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop.  There is no theme for our blog hop today.   

                          I created this Double Gatefold Card for a recent swap I was participating in and used the Stampin' Up!® Oceanfront Stamp Set and On the Horizon Bundle.  These products coordinate beautifully and it was fun to create a pretty seaside scene.  Check it out!

                          Instructions

                          1. Cut Thick Basic White card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8".  Fold on score lines to form card base.
                          2. Cut 2 pieces of Pool Party 2" x 5 3/8"
                          3. Adhere to the 2 front flaps.
                          4. Cut Basic White card stock 3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
                          5. Stamp scene using Pool Party, Soft Seafoam and Crumb Cake ink
                          6. Stamp plants using Old Olive and Crumb Cake ink
                          7. Stamp birds using Misty Moonlight ink
                          8. Cut the stamped card stock in half to form 2 pieces that are 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"
                          9. Adhere one piece to each flap.
                          10. Cut Layering Vellum 1" x 11" and wrap around card base to form belly band - don't wrap too tightly as this needs to be taken off to open the card.  Adhere closed and trim off excess.
                          11. Cut 2 gate pieces from Crumb Cake card stock
                          12. Adhere to belly band so that one piece is on the left flap and one piece is on the right flap.
                          13. Stamp sentiment using Pool Party ink on a scrap of Pool Party card stock
                          14. Cut out using Paper Snips
                          15. Adhere to Belly Band
                          16. Adhere Pebbles
