February Crazy Crafters Blog Hop


Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for February. This month we are excited to be CASE-ing Patty Bennett, who is also joining us on this hop & also did an amazing webinar with our team in December.

Patty. Is. Amazing. That is all.

I hope you find great inspiration from the projects. You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog or you may have come from the previous person on the list. Be sure to click on the next person in the list to continue your journey on this blog hop.

I have based my card on Patty Bennett's card which I thought had really pretty water colouring & I also wanted to use my Flowering Fields stamps & matching DSP, so this one was just crying out for me to CASE it!

This is the card I have made:


So I had all the best intentions to watercolour the stamps like Patty did on her card, but once I put it all together, I thought there was already enough colour going on. What do you guys think?

I have used a Lost Lagoon cardstock base appx 15cm square, layered with the Coral print, Whisper White cardstock & a small part of the White with flowers print. Both of the prints come from the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (DSP) - Sale-A-Bration item - get this for FREE when you spend $90!! This DSP is so lovely, it's filled with some beautiful floral prints in all my favourite colours! And there are some really nice stripey & spotty patterns too.


The stamp sets I have used are Perfect Pairings & Flower Fields - also FREE items from the Sale-A-Bration catalog! I have used Tip Top Taupe ink. And I have finished it all off with a little bit of the gorgeous Pool Party Glitter Ribbon.


I have followed through with the same layering, stamps & ink on the inside, except I have used white paper for the main square.

And this is the card I cased from Patty:


I hope you have enjoyed looking at my card, I certainly had a lot of fun making it! Click on the next person in the list to continue on this blog hopping adventure!!

Hello, Birthday Girl!

I have had soooo much fun today making this card! I hope you like it!!


Oh my gosh, I love these colours! This heart print paper is from the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper (DSP) & it has some really cute prints in it & all lovely, bright colours! Love it! So, today I have layered the DSP on a Whisper White cardstock base with a layer of Silver Foil in there, too. And then another layer of Whisper White on top, which I have heat embossed silver using the heat tool, versamark ink pad & the Hello stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog - get this stamp set for FREE when you spend $90 on any other product!! Yay!! Who doesn't love a freebie?


I have also tried a new technique today where you rub your ink pad (I've used Bermuda Bay) onto a piece of plastic sheet, like what you get out of the photopolymer stamp sets (yes, one of my stamp sets is now missing a plastic sheet haha) & then you spritz it with a little water & just dab it all over the page. Easy & super effective!! I learnt to do it by watching this video posted by Steffi Helmschrott. Although you're meant to do it with Shimmery White cardstock or Watercolour paper but I actually really like the bubbled effect on the card, it adds another dimension. I also added rhinestones - back to my old tricks!!


I have followed the same layered look on the inside & heat embossed it the same, except for the Hello stamp.

Here are the products I have used. Click here to go to my Online Shop.
  • Whisper White cardstock 
  • Silver Foil cardstock 
  • Have a Cuppa DSP 
  • Hello Stamp Set - only available as a freebie via the Sale-A-Bration catalog
  • Versamark, Heat tool, Silver heat emboss powder 
  • Bermuda Bay ink 
  • Spritzer

Team Project Highlight


Welcome to this week's Crazy Crafters' Team Project Highlight! Be sure to check into Kylie's blog (it goes live at 6pm aest tonight!) to see all the cards made this week & vote for your favourites!

So here's a really simple colour scheme card that I have created. I love navy & I thought it was about time that I broke it out & used it again!


I have teamed up the Night of Navy cardstock base with a couple of sheets of the Botanical Gardens Vellum Designer Series Paper (DSP) - get this for FREE when you spend $90 on any current product!! I have used the Flower Fair Framelits on my Big Shot, cutting two of each of the larger flowers & then off setting them.

I have used the Banner Framelits to cut the banners, one in Night of Navy & one with Silver Foil. I have also used the Dauber with the Night of Navy ink to go around the outside of the two navy flowers, the card & the banner. I have embossed the smaller navy flower with the Lovely Lace emboss folder.

I have heat embossed the sentiment from the For the New Two stamp set, using the Versamark ink, heat tool & silver heat emboss powder. I can't wait for my little emboss buddy to come so I get super clean embossing!! I'ts with the postie! Yay!


I have used another sheet of the Botanical Gardens Vellum DSP on the inside, layered with a piece of white paper. I have stamped another sentiment from the For the New Two stamp set, in Night of Navy ink.

Here are the products I have used. Click here to go to my Online Shop.
  • Night of Navy cardstock & ink

More Botanicals! I'm in Love!

I so didn't like the Botanical Garden Designer Series Paper when I saw it in the catalog & it's matched with Cajun Craze, which I hadn't used before either, cos I didn't like the colour. But I got some anyway & just thought I'd try & use it up. But you know I've fallen in love with it along the way! Here are a few cards I have made with the Botanical Garden DSP & matching Vellum.


First off, here are some 7x7cm mini thank you cards I have made using Hello Honey & Cajun Craze cardstock bases. Some of the cards vary a little in size. The "Many Thanks" sentiment is from the Another Thank You stamp set & cut out with the Washi Label Punch. The big flowery thank you sentiment is from the a Whole Lot of Lovely stamp set & cut out with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch.

I have used a mixture of Botanical Garden DSP (Occasions Catalog) & Botanical Garden Vellum DSP (FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog). I have used Glue Dots for the Vellum, Dimensionals for the sentiments & Snail adhesive for the rest. I have lined the cards with white paper from my stash.


And here are some C6 size cards in Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Whisper White, Delightful Dijon and Tangerine Tango. The sentiments for the first two cards are from the Botanicals for You stamp set (FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog) which I have stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink. I have heat embossed the big Just for You sentiment in silver using the heat tool & versamark ink.

The rest of the sentiments are from the a Whole Lot of Lovely stamp set & I have used the Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze & Hello Honey inks to stamp them. They've all been cut out with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch. I have used the Bow Paper Clip on some of the cards & folded a thin strip of the Botanical Gardens DSP or Vellum to make the ribbon look on some of them. A couple have a bit of Gold Glimmer paper or Silver Foil on them, with the corners punched with the Triple Corner Punch. I have also used butterfly paper clips & coloured string from my stash on some of the cards.

I hope you have enjoyed my selection of cards in the Botanical Garden & matching Vellum & that you find some inspiration here to just give it a go, even if you're not sure you like it haha!

Moving House Card

This is a card I've made for my cousin who recently bought her first house! How exciting!! I based the card on a previous card I did, but I changed up the colours a bit for it :)


I have used a Wisteria Wonder cardstock card base with the sentiment & clouds stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock. The printed paper, houses & trees are all from my stash of old paper.  I have fussy cut them out & layered them up, with Dimensionals under the trees & the floating house. I have also put a thin layer of Silver Foil under the sentiment, which you can just see peeking out at the end.


I have used the Sky is the Limit stamp set for the sentiment - this stamp set is retiring TODAY!! Get on board now if you want it!! I have used Wisteria Wonder ink for the sentiment. The clouds have been stamped with Marina Mist ink & using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set. I have added "balloon" buttons & silver thread.


I have followed the same theme on the inside, using the same sentiment & the Wisteria Wonder ink, a little tree propped up on Dimensionals & a little bit of silver thread.

I've entered this card into the Global Design Project Balloon Challenge #23. Wish me luck!

Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day fellow crafters!!

Today I'm showing you a card I made for my wonderful Hubby. I made it a few days ago but of course, I had to wait until after I'd given it to him before I could blog it! Here it is:


I've used a Basic Gray cardstock card base & layered it with the Going Places Designer Series Paper (DSP). The stamped images are from the Sky is the Limit stamp set (only available until tomorrow as a FREE item in the Sale-A-Bration catalog - so act quick if you like it!!). I have stamped with White Craft Ink onto Basic Black cardstock.


I have propped the plane & heart cloud up on Dimensionals. I have fussy cut these out.


I have used the Banner Triple Punch for the sentiment. I have also used the Going Places DSP on the inside of the card, top & bottom, with a square of white paper in the middle.

I have also entered this card into the CASology Valentines Challenge, the Just Add Ink V Challenge & the Stamp Ink Paper Love Challenge. Wish me luck!! 

Here are the products I have used, which you can purchase from my Stampin' Up! Online Shop. Remember to use my February Hostess Code WJJZW4QH if your order is under $250 so you get to share in the total Rewards for the month - see the VIP & Rewards tabs for more info on the Rewards you can earn!!
