InspireINK Bloghop July 2020 Theme: In Colours. 12 x 12 inch full sheet stamping with Celebrating Sunflowers, Peaceful Poppies and Beautiful Friendship #stampinup

 

Welcome to the InspireINK Blog Hop for June 2020. The Theme this month is this years new In colours. I absolutely adore this group of colours and they work so well together as a palette.

 

This project is heavily inspired by Ruth from Artfulstampin with Ruth – I will link to Ruth at the bottom of this post after the blog hop links.

I have taken a 12 x 12 sheet of card stock and stamped in a wreath shape. This is my first attempt at doing a full sheet of stampin on 12 x 12 inch cardstock. I stamped with the intention of cutting this up. I have used several stamp sets but the only colours I have used are the 2020 -2022 In Colours. I have used quite a few different stamp sets but you can do something similar using stamps you already have.

Once I was finished stamping I cut the sheet into 4inch squares. and made nine cards.

Each card base is made from a piece of cardstock 5.5 inches x 11 inches and scored at 5.5 inches on the long side when folded on that score you have a 5.5 inch square card base.

one layer of Designer Series paper 5.25 inches square

a layer of In colour card stock 4.25 inch square

I matt and layered up the cards decorating each one with ribbon, enamel dots and sentiments as I thought appropriate at the time. The picture above shows how the bits of my sheet matched up and the picture below shows the cards the right way round as i decided to use each piece. All in all I really enjoyed this project and I am really pleased with the results. Of all the cards I like the middle one the best – which one do you think is best? Please let me know in the comments. 3 people will be chosen at random from the comments and i will send them one of these cards.

Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop – Framed picture with See The Good and Tasteful Touches stamp sets #stampinup

Welcome to our Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop for July 2020! I hope you enjoy our designers choice hop.

This was my first play with See The Good stamp set. I cut an 8 inch square from a 12 x 12 sheet of Whisper White and I stamped with the Stamparatus. I kept moving the card round using one stamp at a time. It was fun and at the time I didn’t know I would end up with a piece I would want to frame but once I stopped I really like it. I think it would be nice in a Kitchen. I also used the flower stamp from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.

I couldn’t make up my mind when to stop as you can see from these next pictures. As you can see I used the sentiment stamps for texture and pattern rather than what they say.

Why don’t you get a cuppa and a comfy seat and have a wee look around our blog hop by clicking below – I know the ladies will have some amazing Home Decor projects to share – please let us know what you think by leaving some encouraging comments – thank you

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop July 2020 – Monochromatic with Timeless Tropical, Beautiful World and Wildly Happy #stampinup

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop July 2020 – the theme is ‘Monochromatic’. I’m so glad you have joined us and you will be as excited as me to see all the pages in this hop.

So this is my second entry to this hop with my very first layout with real people and memories. While I was considering what monochromatic meant I remembered about a photo book that had been found by one of my Dad’s sisters in what was their family home where they grew up. He must have left it behind when he left home. These pictures invoke all sorts of emotions for me and I wanted a way to share them with the whole family. As I am a beginner I have kept this layout very simple but I think it gives us a little window on Dad’s time in the jungle. 

I have used a sheet from In good Taste Designer Series Paper which is mostly Basic Gray and textural, I stamped on it with Basic Gray using stamps from Timeless Tropical, Beautiful World and Wildly Happy. I chose 8 pictures and 1 scrap of whisper white card stock and cut them to 6.8 cm squares and matted  onto 7.2cm squares of basic black card stock. I arranged them in this grid pattern as i see it a symbolic of a windows into the past. All the products I have used are available to purchase from my online shop by clicking on the product pictures listed at the bottom of this page.

Oh my goodness I thoroughly enjoyed this process – it is so therapeutic I am already working on a layout with pictures of my maternal granny. This journey has only just begun!

I hope you will stay and have a look at all the pages in the hop. Make yourself a cuppa, get comfy and click below to see Sandra’s page which I know will be amazing!
