Please WELCOME Kate Gardiner as our Guest Designer for July.
Kate does AMAZING scrapbook layouts and her style is clean and simple.
Kate has chosen the theme Combo Layout with Pocket Page.
So basically what it means is that you create a traditional page and then you also
create a smaller form 6" x 8" Pocket Page to go with it.

 

 

You may have joined me from Julia Quinn's Blog  
Julia has done a FABULOUS Double Layout with her pocket pages. 
To be truthful I really struggled to create anything that I was
happy with in my pocket pages and they are OLD Pocket Pages from Project Life.

So I opted for the easy version of a pocket page, these products are called Flip Flaps
and they are from CTMH which Stampin' Up! will soon carry in a variety of sizes...
What is a Flip Flap?  Flip Flaps are clear, self-adhesive pockets.
I have had  6" x 12" Flip Flaps in my stash so I decided to add them
to my Scrapbooking Layout that I created of our Son's Wedding.

I simply used 12" x 6" Basic White Cardstock and added some designer series paper from
Frames and Flowers Specialty Paper Pack.  Then I simply added the 3 photos onto the DSP.
To cover the adhesive strip I simple added Tear N Tape and adhered ribbon over the top.
AND tied a simple little bow.

I featured Thoughtful Journey Memories and More Card Pack which can be found on Pg 26
of our Annual Catalogue and The Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" DSP.
Cutting the 6"x 6" DSP I was able to create a full 12" border down the right hand side,
then I added 1" x 12" Perennial Lavender DSP strip down the side too.
I used the Thoughtful Wishes Dies to cut out some leaves to accent the Memories and More
card which has "The Best Day Ever" written all over it.
Then on the small 3" x 4" card I added the date of their wedding with another leaf die
cut from the Pretty Peacock DSP which I had stamped in Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin' Ink.

The back of the Flip Flap I have left blank for the time being,
I will still continue to play with this layout to finish it off to my satisfaction.
Hope you liked my layout, Sorry for the delay of photos from my camera.

Looking forward to seeing what our next Blog Hoppers creation is...

Up Next is  Margaret Workman

I hope that you enjoy all the different layouts that have been created today.
We will be back again NEXT Month on 15th August with a FUN theme.

Crafty Collaborations - Scrapbook Sunday - Changing Leaves

 

 Sneak Peak

 

 

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop,
Crafty Collaborations is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from throughout
the world collaborating together and sharing their creative flair.
You may have joined me from Rachael Merrick - Merrick Makings  or
you may be starting here with me... Thank you for joining us this month.

I LOVE not having any theme or challenge for our Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop.
It allows me to choose EXACTLY what I want to create with, not having any boundries.

I thought that I would create a layout using the Stamping Technique
with Re-Inkers and Baby wipes and some NEW Online Exclusive Products.
Baby Wipe Technique is simply creating an ink palette onto baby wipes.
You fold over at least 2 baby wipes onto a silicone mat and add a assortment of
water based ink refills in spots over the surface of the baby wipe and
that becomes your ink pad to stamp your stamps into.


The colour palette I have chosen is for a colour challenge on FB.
Colour Inkspiration #ci169 has a fortnightly colour challenge and it is great
for sparking my creativity when I haven't had any mojo for quite a while.

Onto the project now...I am using Changing Leaves Bundle with the
Hybrid Embossing Folder.  This bundle is so versatile and has so many
possibilities especially with the technique I paired it with .

 

This photo is slightly over exposed will try to take a better photo tomorrow, BUT
it does show how versatile this Bundle is...
Here is another photo that shows the possibilities, 12" x 4" embossed panel
lots more die-cuts and die-cut and embossed images.

 

So now that you have seen all the elements that make up this layout,
I better show you the layout.
BUT before I do that I just wanted to say that if you are ever stuck for inspiration
look right at page 22 in our Annual Catalogue where there are lots of sketches
to inspire you to create a card then create a layout with the same sketch.

Just think of scrapbooking as a large card and is so easy.

 I also feature 2 elements from Friends For Life Bundle on this layout.

 

Up Next is Rachel Yurkanin

I hope that you have enjoyed all the layouts that we shared with you today.
We have so many talented scrapbookers among us Stampin' Up! Demos
don't you agree with the AMAZING layouts here.

 Follow the rest of the participants by clicking on the list below.

Glad that you could HOP along with us today following the
Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop.

 I want to say a HUGE THANKS to you who visit my blog and comment it really means a lot to me.  I really do appreciate you leaving me some Lovin' in the form of a comment.

Please WELCOME Elaine Wheeler Wright as our Guest Designer for June.
I was so happy when I saw what Elaine picked for her theme, we all have scraps.
Whether we cut extras when we have been creating other cards, projects and
scrapbooking layouts.  Well I know I certainly do!!

 

 

Thanks Elaine, as I have a nice little stash of extra bits that didn't quite make it to a card.
Sooo these are PERFECT for a Scrapbooking layout using our scraps.
This is just a small assortment of extra's!!!

I also keep the off cuts off of my DSP in a small bag as well to use on other projects.
So these were perfect for the corners of my layout.

 

This is a layout of photos from OnStage in Perth, Nov 2022
So there is no real design aspect of this layout
BUT I have used some of the cut out pieces from my stash.
The only piece that I had to create was the paper trimmer.
(I need to find some small letters to write Nov 22 in the space)

The Treasured Memories banner is from a Memories and More Card pack pg 26
All of the die-cuts are from the Crafting With You Dies pg 75
"Perth WA" is from the Mini Alphabet Dies pg
"You Make Me So Happy" is from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder pg


The majority of the products used on this layout are from "Thoughtful Journey" pg 46 & 47
The Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" DSP was used for the corner elements
on the cardstock and the photographs.
The Die cut Leaf design is from Thoughtful Designs 12" x 12".
The Stamped image in the middle section of the layout is done with Versamark Ink.

 

 

 

I enjoyed creating this layout with all my scraps...

I hope that you enjoy all the different layouts that have been created today.
We will be back again NEXT Month on 18th July with a FUN theme.

ESAD - Annual Catalogue 2024-2025 Blog Hop

 

 It's been a while since we have had an ESAD Blog Hop, I am so pleased we are BACK.
We are a group of Australian and New Zealand Demonstrators
who LOVE to show you something NEW from Annual Catalogue

 

You may have started with me or joined me from Leonie Schroder's Blog

 Today we are all sharing projects made with products from the 2024-2025 Annual
catalogue released on the 1st of May this year. 
This catalogue has sooo many gorgeous suites, the one I chose is what I call a mega suite.
My favourite is Unbounded Beauty on page 52 & 53. 


.
2 Stamps and 2 Dies, Flowers Of Beauty and Unbounded Love
12" x 12" Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Papers,
2024-2026 InColor Glimmer Paper and
2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots.




My card is very simple, the sentiment says it all.
Sympathy cards are not nice ones to make, BUT are necessary unfortunately.

Card Measurements - 

Petunia Pop - 9" x 4 1/8" scored at 5 7/8"
Petunia Pop - 4 1/8" x 2 3/4"
Basic White Cardstock - 4" x 2 1/2"
DSP - 4" x 3 7/8"
Basic White Insert - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

I have used Flowers of Beauty Stamp on both the inside and outside of the card
Stamping the Leaves in Summer Splash
Then the 2 step stamp to create the "hollyhock" flowers (well that is what I am calling them)
Firstly I stamped the solid image in Pretty In Pink
Then the filler flower in Petunia Pop.

I only used a very small piece of DSP for the front panel.



Both the outer and inner sentiments are from the Unbounded Love
stamped in Summer Splash

Lastly I added some 2024-2026 InColor Resin Dots on the front panel

 It is so wonderful that we have had our Guest Designers pick our themes for this year,
Alison A. Carter has chosen her theme to be 3 Favourite Colours. 
Alison creates BEAUTIFUL scrapbooking layouts and I wonder which colours
from our amazing colour range she chooses.

 

 Here is my layout, for my 3 favourite colours from A Little Latte Suite.
Today I have chosen to use Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Early Espresso.
A friend gave me a share of her DSP from this suite.
Sooo I just used the papers to create this simple layout.
AND I also used So Swirly Embossing Folder.



I also used two different lettering to create my titles
Alphabet Al A Mode and Mini Alphabet

Up NEXT is Julia Quinn with what I am guessing is her favourite colour - Green

May 2024 New at SU! Blog Hop: 2024-2026 In Colors - Nan Nan's Garden of Love

 

 

 

Welcome to New at SU! - May 2024 HOP THEME: 2024-2026 In Colors

Show off the NEW In Colors with a project featuring
ONE, TWO, THREE or ALL of the new hues!
You may have started the Blog Hop with me or come via Rachael Merrick's Blog

Either way you will be in for a treat with all this inspiration today.

 

 This is a very simple layout, using all the colours from 2024-2026 InColors.
Very time poor lately and I need to create a quick scrapbook layout.

I have created the whole layout using the 6" x 6" InColors DSP stack.
I stamped the stems of the flowers in Shy Shamrock Classic Stampin' Pad
across the border of the 12" x 12" Basic White Cardstock..
Then I cut 2 x 1/4" strips of Summer Splash DSP to cover over the stems.


I stamped the flowers from Spotlight on Nature onto the 6" x 6" InColors DSP of
Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink and Petunia Pop using the matching Stampin' Pad.
Then fussy cut out the flowers adding Stampin' Dimensionals to the largest flowers.
Simply using Multipurpose Tombow Glue I added the smaller petals to the stems and
then added the largest petals.
I flicked some light splatters on and around the bottom of the page with my
Shy Shamrock Stampin' Blend.  By gently flicking the tip out of the lid.

Next I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Pretty In Pink DSP and diecut out
a heap of letters with Mini Alphabet die to create the Title - Nan Nan's Garden Of Love.
Adding a slight border of colour around the letters with the Petunia Pop Stampin' Blend.
Then I added these to the bottom of the flowers.



The photo I have used was from a photoshoot that Eloise wasn't too happy about.
So this photo was one of those quick lets get the photo while she is kinda happy.
1st and 4th generations in this photo.

The photo mat is from Summer Splash 6" x 6" InColor DSP.

Lastly I added the Love You embossed die-cut from Thoughtful Moments
Hybrid Embossing Folder that you can emboss and die-cut at the same time.
AND some Shy Shamrock Resin Dots

 Hope that you are inspired to stamp onto your DSP and use it to embellish your layouts. 
I use this technique a lot of times when I want a piece of my stamped image to have
some colour on it without colouring with our extensive range of colouring options.

I cannot wait to see what Karen has created with Petunia Pop
