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.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #85

Welcome from Nicole’s blog.

This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

It took me a little while to come up with what I wanted, but once I got going it just all seemed to come together quite quickly. I am really loving this one.
I really like how you can shape Photopolymer stamps to fit a punched out shape, it really makes them even more versatile.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #68

Welcome from Nicole's blog.

This week we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

Once again I have used items from the new Occasions Catalogue. There are just so many lovely items in there that I had to try and be very self controlled, I am not sure that I tried hard enough though. The Balloon Celebration Stamp Set and the Balloon Bouquet Punch can be purchased as a bundle where you save 15% so is a very good deal. I have been waiting for Stampin' Up! to have a balloon punch for long time and think that the one they came up with is pretty good as it has two different balloon sizes in one punch and is very versatile. I can assure you that it will be used often.
