Touches of Ink Hop July 2025 – Perfectly Pears Bundle

 

Welcome to my blog – I’m glad to have you here.

I’m hopping today with Touches of Ink – a lovely group of demonstrators. We have free choice of what we showcase in this Bloghop. So this week I have been playing with the Perfectly Pears Bundle

 

During my live YouTube video on Sunday I used a piece of basic white card to mop up some left over ink and water from my glass mat. So today I cut a panel from it and used it to stamp on for today’s card. The perfectly Pears stamp set is so much fun to stamp with as the filler stamps are distinctive and give a water colour look. I will be demonstrating how I made this card very soon on my Youtube channel so make sure you are subscribed to get notified when i do.

Touches of Ink Hop April 2025 –

 

Welcome to my blog – I’m glad to have you here.

I’m hopping today with Touches of Ink – a lovely group of demonstrators. We have free choice of what we showcase in this Bloghop. Today I wanted to do some ink blending and emboss resist technique with the new in colours. So I made a pattern with Tiled Techniques stamp set. I used white heat embossing and then my blending brushes to blend three of the new colours – Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush.

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.

 

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
