INK IT! STAMP IT! BLOG HOP - CHRISTMAS

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Blog Hop. This month we are sharing Christmas projects. You may have arrived here from seeing the lovely and talented Kirsten Aitchison's project if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the full line up below will guide you through all the projects.   Making Christmas tags, or tags of any sort, is a great way to use up any leftover pieces of Designer Series Paper and Cardstock! For these tags I've used the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper along with the little trees from the Festive Farmhouse Elements. I coloured the trees in using my marker then embossed them with Clear Emboss Powder. Yes it was a bit fiddly but I love how they've turned out!   The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings and is the perfect size for a tag!   Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!   ...

INK & INSPIRATION - CHRISTMAS TIME BLOG HOP

Hello and welcome to this month's Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Angela Meiritz-Reid from Christchurch, New Zealand. The complete list at the bottom will guide you through all the inspirational projects created by the team.   The theme this month is Christmas Time.   This gorgeous Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper has been an absolute favourite of mine and I have used every last piece! The swirl under the sentiment is from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and picks up the copper in the paper to create an elegant look! The sentiment is from the Sincerely Santa Stamp Set and has been embossed with the Copper Emboss Powder. I've created the label using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, punching a hole in the top and adding a piece of Baker's Twine. The little stars are from the Festive Farmhouse Elements - aren't they cute? Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop. You won't want to mis...

CASEING THE CATTY #203 | CASE HOSTESS SETS

 Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Our inspiration this week comes from the Hostess Sets in the Stampin' Up!® Catalogues.  You may have arrived here from seeing  Peta's lovely project if you're hopping along already. If you started here, welcome and please make sure to visit all the Design Team's blogs, the next button at the end of this post will take you on your journey.   T his week my inspiration came from the "Joy" card below on page 55 of the Holiday Catalogue.     I've kept the layout the same but changed everything else!   For my card I've used the gorgeous Country Lane Designer Series Paper. The design on this paper reminds me of ticking fabric. I love how the Blackberry Bliss card base and oval brings out the Blackberry Bliss stripes.     I cut out three of the flower images from the Botanical Tags Thinlits Dies and layered them on top...
