{Stamping Florals and Geometricals on a One Sheet Wonder}

I've been having lots of fun over on YouTube doing what is called "lives".  It's been really fun getting to know viewers from all around the world as they're able to comment and ask questions as I stamp.  If you use YouTube please subscribe to my channel, and click the bell button to get notifications on your device of when I go "live".

Here is a long video of a process that took about an hour, I ended up stamping 3 sheets and making 8 cards from them.

 STAMPS USED: First Frost, Painted Glass, Lilypad Lake, Beautiful Friendship, Waterfront (splatters)
 COLOURS USED: Sea Side Spray, Purple Posy, Pretty Peacock, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green, Mint Macaron   

If you haven't got time to watch the long version please watch the shorter version below.

Here are the cards I ended up making.

I thought you might like to see the full sheet before I cut it up.

My usual card size is A6, however because I wanted to show off this stamping I made 2 A5 cards.

Hope you enjoyed looking at these.  If you have been inspired by what you see and would like to share your creations with others then please join my Facebook group Artful Stampin Space here.

Don't forget, if you would like a copy of the new Autumn/Winter catalogue you can drop me a line and I'll pop one in the post to you.  If you can't wait that long, you can see it here.

[One Sheet Wonder 12x12 Faux watercolour flowers}

As you've probably gathered, I really really do like these floral stamp sets!

I was having a play with the two of them the other day as I wanted to come up with a new picture for my facebook banner, and possibly some new designs for my blog graphics.

I choose colours that match well... Petal Pink, Grapefruit Grove, Terracotta Tile and Cajun Craze, and came up with this.

Today I had some spare time to do a Youtube live, and as the stamps were stillon my desk I decided to have a play again, this time on 12x12 cardstock.  It's something I have been meaning to do for ages!

Here's what happened (a sped up version)

Here is what it looks like...

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Embossing Folders}

Hi there, and welcome to another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, today we are focusing on embossing folders from the holiday catalogue.  I am fortunate enough to have been able to play with two.  The Corrugated and the Tin Tile Dynamic Textures are extra deep so create amazing deep patterns on your card stock.

To make this card, I swiped ink onto the embossing folder before placing my white card on it and running it through the big shot.

The tag is made up of various scraps, I brushed some Craft White ink over the tag base before adding the torn up scraps and embellishments.

{Christmas Challenge Stampathon 2018 - One Sheet Wonder}

Welcome to the...

8th Round of the
Christmas Challenge Stampathon 2018

Be inspired every month with a Christmas Challenge on the 25th of the month.

We are now onto the 8th challenge and its to make as many cards a you can using the
One Sheet Wonder technique

The are a couple of approaches you can take.

Take a whole sheet of Designed Series Paper and cut it up into sections and use it however you choose to create some cards.  as can be seen in Ellen  and Rosalie's videos here...



Or you can create your own paper by using stamps and either use it as a full background as I have or cut it up into pieces as Denise does here...

For mine I decided to stamp with some background stamps and a stamp set that will be available very soon.  I broadcast how I made it live on YouTube, here is the video of the process...




I've taken some screen shots of how the paper looked at various stages...

and here are the final cards.

I love how they turned out!
