The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #116

Welcome from Nicole’s blog.

This week is our last challenge for 2016 and we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

CASE'd from Michelle Lupton

I know the colours we were given are quite bold but I muted them down by watercoloring and 2nd gen stamping. I used Elegant Eggplant for my sentiment and dashes but the colour is so dark that it looks like black. I also used a few neutral colours for may card stock which may be bending the rules just a little. (wink)

Bible Journalling Adventure

I had the privilege of doing another Bible Journalling class with the lovely Lydell Quin at Paper Flourish yesterday. We journaled with the inspiration of Psalm 47.

I used my Stampin' Write markers with an Aqua painter and really loved how they worked together. By putting a layer of Gesso on the bible page first, you can then move the ink around with the aqua painter and get a lovely watercolour effect. A touch of Wink of Stella just gave it a little bit of sparkle. I don't usually like to cover over the words of scripture, but you can still read through, and this is also my bible totally dedicated to journalling.

Welcome from Alison's blog.

This week we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

I loved this stamp set the first time I saw it and it really is a great deal when you purchase it as a bundle. It consists of 37 stamp images so you can create a whole variety of different designs with the one bundle of stamps. I really love how feminine the flowers look and having the co-ordinating dies really makes it easy to cut the images out. I have made a 99mm x 105mm (folded DL) card which was the perfect size for the middle sized jar. The envelope was created with the new 2016/18 In Colour Envelope Paper and the Envelope Punchboard.

Free Spirited Card Making

As we had some terrible weather and a whole state blackout this week, there is no Blog Hop. However I thought I would blog some of the cards that I made during the week that are non theme related but just made for the fun of it.

These first two were made by following the tutorial shared by Dawn Griffith using the Fox Builder Punch by Stampin' Up!

Then I used the Fox Builder Punch again to make this Bear card CASE'd from Michelle Last

Saturday 1st October was World Card Making Day as well as the AFL Grand Final here in Australia so I took advantage of these events and made this card.

This one CASE'd from Janneke de Jong

Sometimes it is just fun to make some cards without having any rules to follow, but I am looking forward to having the blog hop back again next week. 

See you then.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #104

Welcome from Alisa’s blog.

This week we have a Balloon Theme Challenge.

This is what I came up with:

I created my little mouse using the solid rectangle shape and the coconut shape from the Totally Trees stamp set. Another wonderful set from Stampin' Up that has various uses and is only limited by your imagination, and when paired with another stamp set you can get something totally different. I dare you to take a closer look at some of your stamps and see what else you can actually create with them.

Welcome from Nicole’s blog.

This week we have a Holiday Catalogue Theme Challenge. The catalogue launched on the 1st September and runs until the 3rd January 2017.

I'm not ready to start on Christmas cards yet and haven't purchased any stamp sets from the Holiday catalogue so I went with a very clean and simple card by just using some of the patterned DSP, this is what I came up with:

The Petals & Paisleys DSP is lovely and just screams to be used as a feature. I also love how the new enamel shapes fit perfectly and give a bit of texture.
