Bloghop 52

Hi and Welcome, if your come from another blog it would be my friend Maree, I wonder what she had done this week.

Can you believe it, the schools are half way this this term?  and I thought our blog hops come around quickly.

Here is our sketch that we have for this week, I rather liked it and hope you do too.bloghop-52

I had just bought the Frozen Treats Bundle and just knew that this sketch would work well with this sketch.

hop-52-fullI used Peek-a-Boo Peach as my card base with an extra fine Sahara Sand on the back of the Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper and trim on the greeting.

Its just the cutest little set to use, I loved how the topping is cut out and placed onto of the ice cream.  Anyone who knows me, would know that icecream is my most favourite food……………………..boy that’s bad.

hope-52-halfI used the Stitched Frames on whisper white cardstock and then mounted my dish of ice cream.

Inside I used the very cute Happy Birthday Greeting and a cone ice cream.

Enjoy and now your off to see what Teneale has made for us.

esad-hot-air-half

If you not sure what that is?  well if you spend 90.00 in either the seasonal or annual catalogue you choose an item from free from the Sale a Bration catalogue.  If you don’t have one, I am sure your demonstrator could send one to you.

esad

You may have come from Maree’s blog and I do wonder what she has in store for us today.

I decided that would showcase the Carried Away Designer Series Paper from the Sale A Bration catalogue and team it with two stamp sets out of the Occasion Catalogue, they are the Lift me Up Bundle that has wonderful hot air balloons.

esad-hot-air

I love the details on the cut out hot air balloon, which I put some whisper white behind and mounted it onto the clouds designer papers.

esad-ballon-fullI then used the stamps and stamped out the hot air balloons then used the dies to cut them out.  Very happy with how easy, yet nice they looked.

esad-another-year-fullI then switched to The Balloon adventures, still using the Carried Away Designer Papers.  Not sure if you picked it up, but I have embossed the greeting with Watermelon Wonder using the ink and clear embossing power, I must say I love embossing and now I am able to emboss in any colour I want.

Now your off to see what Lou has made for us.  Don’t forget to leave comments we all love them.

Bloghop 50 wow

Barbara Williams

Welcome to the 50th Inkspired Artists Blog Hop, Wow you say a big Salebration time wouldn’t you say?  If your just started with me, welcome.  You may have started at another blogger and jumped to me from Maree and I wonder what she has made for us.  Its always great to hop around and see what your other colleagues have made.

Here is a copy of our sketch below that Teneale has made for us.

bloghop-50When I looked at this sketch straight away I thought a flower instead of heart.  I choose to use the Oh So Succulent Bundle, love love love it.  Then because of the layering thought, Succulent Garden Designer Series Papers, they are so so pretty.

I also choose to use the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, if you haven’t seen it, get your demonstrator to show you.  I used this for the white background on my card to give nice texture.  I used the reverse side and you can see how great it looks.

Barbara Williams Oh So Succulent

I used Mint Maccaron as my cardbase and used the Sweet Sugarplum for the flower.

Hope you like my card and now lets hop around and see what the others have made for you, beginning with Teneale.

Bloghop 49

Welcome to this fortnight Inkspired Artist Bloghop 49.  Just a small group this week, everyone is trying to get the families settled and back to school.

If your come for another blog, its most likely Maree who is much more organised than me and had hers made before now.  Cannot wait to see what she has done.

bloghop-49Me being me never look at the sketch properly and went ahead and made my card, then decided to go check the sketch again, and guess what, I had made landscape instead of square, so had to go and remake…………………then I missed that it had an outline above the sentiment.  I am just the worst, lets say its my eye sight instead of age………lol

 

bloghop-49-mum-line-1So should we just go and check it out, right.

I choose the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper which is just beautiful with its foil sheet, which I have used.  There is also Washi Tape, which I used under the whisper white greeting….. and a strip of Daffodil Delight as well.

bloghop-49-mum-front-love-you

I embossed the greeting which is form the new Occasions Catalogue called Birthday Blast.

Who has friends that you have kept in contact with since Kindergarten?  Well I have many long friends, but not dating back 65 years…………..lol  I have made this for my dear friend Betty, who I meet in Kindy and when through school and she is having her birthday in 3 days time.  Even more exciting is that I am going to spend the weekend with her and her husband in Cowra in 3 weeks time.  I am sure she will just love this card, don’t you?

Now your off to check out what lissa has in store for us today.  I know she has been super busy, so let’s go see.

Bloghop 48

Wow 2017 already, what an exciting year this is going to be for me as I am of traveling in May and June visiting Spain Portugal and Rome as well as a Mediterranean Cruise. How exciting is that?

Another excited thing is that Salebration and a New Occasions Catalogue was just launched last week. So as this is the first back and I think some of the girls have forgotten, anyway lets see who is around. Its Bloghop 48 and if your come from another blog its most likely Maree McIntosh –   

bloghop-48

Lets go see what I have come up with, I wanted to somehow incorporate the use of the stamps from the Occassions Catalouge, so choose to use the Nailed Bundle, this is sold with stamps and dies as a bundle.  I am in love with it as my ladies always say that its hard to make male cards.

bloghop48-3-1

I used the paper out of the Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Washi Tape from the same series.  An there is a new Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, just fantastic.

bloghop48-3-3I coloured the tools with some ink and my aqua painter, giving them a more realistic look and mounted them on a piece of card stock that had been run through the bigshot.

bloghop48-3-2

On the inside just put a happy birthday greeting and a little spanner to finish it off.

Hope you enjoy them, don’t for get to leave a comment, we all love to know that your seen our work, thanks

Next your off to see what Lissa has made for you, I am sure your going to love it.
