InspireInk Blog Hop September 2024 – Theme: Halloween

Happy Saturday! Welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Halloween.

 

So the theme this month is Halloween. I had to think out of the box as I don’t have any Halloween stamp sets. It is fun to look at the sets you already have and build a spooky scene.

I made an inky background using a circle mask to make the moon with blending brush and Night of Navy ink. Next I added some clouds from Under the moon stamp set, the tree dies are from frosted forest die set, the stamped trees are from Grassy Grove stamp set the spooky house is from Humble Home bundle.

I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done with this challenge. Click below to hop with us – please sprinkle some love and positive comments on our posts. Thank you for your continued support!

July 2024 review and a look ahead to August.

Hi there thanks for coming to my blog today. I thought I would start a new series of a monthly round up of the previous month activities and i wee look at the month ahead. Please let me know in the comments if this is something you appreciate.

So in August, I took part in the Touches of Ink Blog Hop which happens at 6 pm UK time on the second Wednesday of each month. We can choose what set we use so long as it’s current.

Inspire Ink Blog Hop on the third Saturday of each month at 10 am UK time. The theme for July was Sympathy

 

I designed this inspiration card for SU colour challenge for August. SU Color Challenge is held in a Facebook Group which anyone can join

We set a colour challenge each month and we provide some inspiration. It is fun to try and it is good if you are struggling to decide what to create.

I’ve also started taking part in the weekly craft collaborations monochromatic weekly Instagram

And then of course there was the two video hops that I organise the Stampin UK video which happens on the first of each month at 6 pm UK time. Our theme for July was Black and Gold. 

and the Stampin’ Around the World video  hop which happens on the 15th of the month at 9 pm UK time. Our theme in July was case the catalogue.

Every week I hold face-to-face Cuppa And Cards at our local garden centre from 1030 to 1130 on a Thursday morning – you can come along make a card and have a great chat and a cuppa

Every Sunday at 6 pm, I do live stamping on YouTube unless I am doing something with my family or I am on holiday.

There was also Class in the Post in July – I held 2 zoom classes for this.

One of my favourite points of the month is the last Wednesday when I have a gathering on zoom with my team. We chat and craft together – I’d love to welcome some more crafters to my team – find out more HERE

 

So looking ahead to what August has to offer for Stampin us in Stampin Up today until the end of August we have 15% of all the designer series papers in the annual catalogue that’s a fabulous offer especially if your team up with your Bonus Days vouchers that you earned in July.

Also two new kits will be available from the 6th of August

I’m looking ahead to September. I have an event on Sunday, the 8th of September in the afternoon. You can find further details on my book website by clicking the button below.

I am also excited to be attending an event for Demonstrators at the end of August in Glasgow.

Book Here

I also have an in person event in November which you can also book when you go onto my bookwhen site.

I will be advertising August Class in the Post very soon.

 

InspireInk Blog Hop July 2024 – Theme: Sympathy – #simplestamping

Happy Saturday! Welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is sympathy.

The Loveliest Tree Stamp Set makes for a simple stylish card. I’ve chosen to stamp with Basic Gray.

So the theme this month is sympathy. I find sympathy cards quite difficult to make when I’m grieving when I’ve just had some sudden news that someone has passed away and I’m quite upset. So I like to have some cards on hand so that in this situation all I have to do is pick up a card, write it and pop it in the post.

I chose the loveliest tree stamp set to make my card because I think it will create a simple and stylish card easily. The tree is a beautiful image.

I have stamped with basic grey and layered that on to a piece of basic grey then stuck this on to a smoky slate card base.

 

I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done with this challenge. Click below to hop with us – please sprinkle some love and positive comments on our posts. Thank you for your continued support!
