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.

This is what I came up with:

CASE'd from Jan's Creative Corner

I really enjoyed working with this colour combo and thought it ideal for a baby card. Also I love how the Fancy Frost SDSP can be used for more than just Christmas themed projects.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #101

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.
