Ink & Inspiration September Blog Hop - Flourish Dies & Love Today Planner Stickers


Hi Crafters!

Thanks for joining me & the crew for our monthly Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop! I hope you enjoy all our projects, hop around everyone's blogs & leave a comment on each - everyone loves a bit of blog love! This month we are making Wedding/Anniversary themed projects & I am showing you one I have made for my brother & his wife for their 4th wedding anniversary. My sister-in-law loves magenta, so I thought I'd put a bit of Berry Burst into the card.


I have used a Crumb Cake card base with a layer of Basic Black with the Flourish Dies cut out of it. Sandwiched in between these two layers is a piece of Watercolor cardstock, which I have coloured a rainbow with the Watercolor Pencils & spritzed with water, so the colours ran a little.


Next, I have added some of the Stripe Ribbon, Finely Woven Berry Burst Ribbon & Burlap Ribbon. I have also used some of the gold stickers from the Love Today Planner & some of the Black Rhinestones.


On the inside, I have sponged Berry Burst in the corner. My sponge had a little Watermelon Wonder on it from the last time I used it, so the two colours have blended a little. Then I have stuck some more of the gold stickers on the inside.


I hope you have enjoyed my card & that you can hop around the rest of the crew & show them some love. The are a talented bunch & you certainly don't want to miss any of their projects! xx

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Sarah Fleming - Color Theory Memories & More Cards

 
Hi Crafters!

Some exciting news for you today! We are CASE-ing (Copy & Selectively Edit) the lovely SARAH FLEMING, who is also joining us on this hop! Exciting! Sarah is one of my Craft Crushes & how funny is her blog name - Prepare to Dye! Ha! Love it! I've done a few blog hops with Sarah & I chuckle every time I go to her blog & see her blog name! xx

I hope you find great inspiration from all the projects in this hop. You may be starting the hop here at my blog (Jessie Holton) 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 blog hop adventure casing Sarah's work.

Here is Sarah's card which I've chosen to Case. I love how simple the Memories & More cards can make card making & so I have chosen to use the Color Theory M&M pack to make my cards today.


And here are my cards using the Color Theory pack:


The standard C6 card size in Australia means you need to trim a smidge off these cards to use them as card fronts. I like to trim mine to 14.5 x 10.1 cm so there is a couple of millimeters around the edge. I have used Thick Whisper White cardstock card bases today.


The sentiment I have used is from the Just Add Text stamp set, stamped with White Craft Ink on Basic Black cardstock & cut out with the largest Stitched Shapes oval die.


I have added a length of Berry Burst Finely Woven Ribbon, some Linen Thread & a few sequins from the Metallic Sequin Assortment. This simple layout made it quick & easy to put these stylish cards together. This is my go-to card layout!


 Here is the card we made at OnStage in April using the new Memories & More cards. This one has the Berry Burst Flower fussy cut from one of the cards & added to the card front with two more cards & a length of the Crushed Curry Mini Chevron Ribbon. We have also used the Colorful Seasons stamp set to stamp the little flowers in the background in Dapper Denim.


And lastly, a nice bright yellow one features one of the clear acetate cards with the small hexagons & the sentiment on it, over a card with the larger hexagons & a bow tied with the Mini Chevron Ribbon - all in Crushed Curry. I think this would make a lovely anniversary card. I have stapled the cards together so no glue marks showed on the acetate & then used Dimensionals to adhere it to the card base.


I hope you have enjoyed my card today & that you can hop around the rest of the Crazies to see all our cases of Sarah's work! xx

September Stampin Dreams Blog Hop - Just Add Text


Hi Crafters!

Thank you for joining us for the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. If you blog regularly & would like to participate in future hops with me & the gang, please join our Facebook Group.

Today we are doing Something Different! The gorgeous Sandra Mastello joked that would be a clean craft room - I hear you, sister! Haha! Don't we all? My something different is adding ink to the embossing folders for a really fun look. I made these backgrounds in a live tutorial on my VIP Facebook page a while back, but I've never used them.... until now!


I have teamed both of these cards with the Just Add Text Stamp set. I have used White Craft Ink on Basic Black cardstock & die cut with the largest Oval die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I have used a Thick Whisper White cardstock base, a Bermuda Bay layer & Bermuda Bay Chevron Ribbon with some Metallics Assortment Sequins.

For this first card, I have used the Hexagon Embossing Folder with a little Sahara Sand ink, Whisper White cardstock & some Silver Sequins.


For this second card, I have used Calypso Coral on the Petal Burst Embossing folder, spritzed with water on Shimmery White cardstock & Copper Sequins. I have also added a few of the Copper twigs I had previously fussy cut for my Holiday Catalog Mash Up Card - this is from the Year of Cheer DSP.

I'm really happy with how these have turned out & will definitely be making more of these backgrounds.  

Check out the rest of the crew here. You don't want to miss any!
