Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Case the Team

Well hello my lovely cardmakers out there, welcome to the
Blog Hop for March, this month we were asked to CASE each other.
To CASE in crafting community can mean different things - Copy and Share Everything, Copy and Selectively Edit, Copy and Steal Everything, obviously I prefer the first 2 to the last one.  I love to credit those who have inspired me.  As someone wisely said, "there is nothing new under the sun".  All our art and creations have been influenced and inspired by others.  Even when we think we have hit on an original idea, you may discover that someone else has too.

Anyway, on with the crafting.  I decided to CASE a card by Barry from Mitosu crafts.  It's called the Floating Side Panel card, and his tutorial can be found {HERE}

I took the measurements and created this.


I used the Thoughtful Expressions stamps and Dies 162822 that are in the Stampin' Up! Mini catalogue.  The whole suite is beautiful and a joy to work with.

I stamped the large floral stamp with Petal Pink ink on the same coloured card stock and used that as the background layers and stuck them onto the Gray Granite card base.  The bird was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink on Pool Party card stock and large flower clusters with Calypso Coral ink on the same coloured card stock.  


I particularly like how the flower die can be placed on the flower image to add some dimension.


The hummingbird wings was layered to give an impression of flight, and the Iridescent Pearls 158987 were a lovely finishing touch to the flower centres.


To see how I made the card you can watch this tutorial


Thank you so much for looking at my card, here are the other hoppers, I am looking forward to seeing what they create.

HILLS OF TUSCANY meets GARDEN MEADOW artfulstampin style!

I loved the results of this experiment that I just had to share it with you!

Mixing stamp sets together comes really naturally to me as I have learned to appreciate the infinite potential of doing this.  However I am aware that I don't want to overwhelm my viewers and readers with too many choices.

I think these cards prove a happy medium.

I use just two stamp sets; Hills of Tuscany 162682 and Garden Meadow 162736, or in this case Jardin Des Pres.  I was accidently sent the stamp set and Stampin' Up! were kind enough to let me keep it.


The ink pads I used were
Early Espresso, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake


To colour in some of the details I used
Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake and Petal Pink Stampin' Write Markers.


I stamped on Very Vanilla Card, then mounted them on Early Espresso, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake Card.


I love how they have resulted in a tranquil, sepia toned cards.

To see how I stamped them watch this video

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Whimsical Wings and Soaring Hearts

Hello and welcome to this month's hop with the theme

Whimsical Wings and Soaring Hearts

I'm going to go straight to it and present my card...


I used the Bee Mine Designed Series Paper that is from the current Mini Catalogue and went a bit grungy on it with the Pecan Pie ink - which is awesome for that vintage look.


The heart was created with triangles from the Patchwork Pieces Dies set 161592 and the Flowers and leaves from the Paper Florist Dies set 161284. The lovely butterfly wings are already precut and in the Paper Butterfly Accents 162612

To view how I made it watch this.

Please check out the other hoppers today and give their blogs some love!
