Monochromatic Insta Hop - Crafty Collaborations - Moody Mauve

 

 

 

 Sneak peak of this weeks colour palette

 

 

 

 

 

I am excited to be participating in the Monochromatic InstaHop today with my friends over at Crafty Collaborations.
We are featuring the color Moody Mauve!

 

 

 To achieve the look I was going for...Inked layers from the Embossed folder.

Simply add ink the raised

side of the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder with a Blending brush or a brayer if you own one.

Add your Moody Mauve cardstock and run through Stampin' Cut n Emboss machine.

 

 

Card Base - Moody Muve Cardstock - 11 5/8" x 4 1/8"  scored at 5 7/8"
Layer 1 - Poetic Expressions DSP - Moody Mauve/Bubble Bath - 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" - cut on the diagonal
Layer 1 - Poetic Expressions DSP -Moody Mauve Stripe DSP 5 3/4" x 3 1/2" Embossed with Layered Florals 3D - cut on the diagonal.
Layer 2 - Moody Mauve 2 3/8" Circle punch
Layer 3 - Basic White Cardstock - Stamped Hello with Classic Stampin' Pad - Moody Mauve - cut with 2" Circle punch

Adhere the 2" White circle  to the 2 3/8" Moody Mauve circle then place it back inside the Layered Florals 3D Embossing folder and run through Stampin' Cut n Emboss machine...

You will have residual

ink on the embossed image.
Layer 4 - Gold 1/8" Faux Leather Trim approx 9"

to loop behind Layer 3
Add dimensionals to 

pop it up

Layer 8 - Brushed Gold Metallic Die cut leaves from Notes of Nature Dies

Place these behind Layer 3.

Then peel off dimensionals and adhere to the front of the card
Layer 9 - (Insert)Basic White Cardstock - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Add some of the Brushed Metallic Gold Die cut leaves to the inside of card.

Whoopsie I forgot to add bling 🤔

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Men In Our Lives

 

 

 

 

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global - Jan 18 Blog Hop - Men In Your Life
This year we are trying something completely NEW...
We asked members of our group of over 6K+ members from
Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! to become designers for the next 8 months.

We are trying to encourage EVERYONE to join in the HOP's every month.
We prefer that you do have a Blog so that you can join the hop every month.
BUT you don't have to have a blog to participate in these monthly challenges
by submitting a photo to the Album of the Month after 2pm AEDT.

You can JOIN Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! FB group here

 

So our 1st Guest Designer of the Month is Tina Parsons, 
Tina creates Beautiful scrapbooking layouts and uploads
them to our group regularly and now she is participating in our Blog Hop.
You can follow Tina here on Instagram

 Tina's Theme is Men In Your Life

 Men In Our Life is such a great theme, one that I am often creating believe it or not.
This layout is for my Son's Wedding Album.  He only got married in Oct 23.
Jeffrey is my eldest child and he is such a WONDERFUL Human being.
He has the most beautiful soul.

This layout is a bit of a mix up of a lot of products from both
the Annual Catalogue and the Jan - Apr Mini Catalogue.
I am participating in an Insta HOP tomorrow with Monochromatic Colours
and the colour is Boho Blue one of our NEW InColors and I thought I should
use that colour for this layout.  Sooo it is very Blue with a splash of Black,
the many tones of Boho Blue.

I would call this style of scrapbooking - Grungy. Layers of ink, embossing pastes
and torn or shabby edges on our papers and cardstock.

Firstly I layed down some Boho Blue Ink over the houndstooth mask (retired)
with a blending brushing making sure that I added lots of depths of ink.
Layering it thickly and thinly in different places.

Then I added some Shimmery White Embossing Paste over a circle mask (retired)
this brings the Boho Blue Ink into the paste and turns to a shade of Boho Blue Ink.

 

 

I used Notes of Nature stamp sets to create the background stamping.
Once again using the ink on the stamp to add 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation stamping.
Basically it just means by stamping more than once you get a different colour ink.




I used 2 different Designer Series Paper for my DSP elements on the layout.
Fresh As A Daisy 12" x 12" DSP - 23 - 24 Annual Catalogue
Poetic Expressions 12" x 12" DSP - Jan - Apr 2024 Mini

Also used several sets of dies to add elements to my layout.
Alphabet A La Mode Dies
Wanted To Say Dies
Radiating Stitches Dies

The other thing that I add right at the end of my creating process where
some of the cards from Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards.
I LOVE adding these to my scrapbooking layouts and they are really
cool to make quick and easy cards with too.
I chopped into one card and used both sides of it.
I also used one of the stickers as well.

 My layout also included some black and white ribbon that just
finished it off I believe.

Crafty Collaborations - Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - Stippled Rose DSP (FREE)

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the very 1st Crafty Collaborations Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop,
Crafty Collaborations is a group of Stampin' Demonstrators from throughout
the world collaborating together and sharing their creative flair.

 

 

 

 

 

You may have joined me here from Julia's Blog - Handmade by Julia

 with a layout that I am sure is truly a piece of artwork.

 

My layout was inspired by a Page Maps Sketch from Becky Higgins
And I changed it up a bit...
Sketches are a starting point to a layout, this gives you a guide of where
to place photos and titles and embellishments.

I am using the FREE Softly Stippled 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
from Sale-A-Bration (SAB) promotion that Stampin' Up! has every year.
For every $90 you spend you can chose an item from the SAB catalogue.
This DSP co-ordinates with the Stippled Roses on pg 64 of the Jan- Apr Mini Catalogue.
I don't own this set, so I chose to fussy cut all these roses from the paper.

My Son got married in Oct so this layout will be used for the their Wedding Album.
 (2) x 12" x 12" Pebbled Path Cardstock
(2) x A4 Gray Granite Cardstock
12" x 12" Black Cardstock

Stamp 'n Hop - Feb Hop - Shake It Up with Shaker Cards

 

 

 Welcome to Stamp 'n Hop Monthly Blog Hop
this month we are focusing on Shaker Cards.

 I have chosen to showcase the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper from Jan-Apr Mini
and Beautiful Balloons Bundle from the Annual Catalogue.
These work wonderfully together.

I made a very simple shaker card by die-cutting the 3 Balloons together
and then die-cutting the balloons from our dimensional sticker sheet to add dimension.
The sequins are not current because I don't own any of the current sequins.
I used 1 of our plastic bag to contain the sequins between the layers of dimension.

 
There are so many beautiful colours in the Designer Series Paper
Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia
Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink and Pool Party.
I used four of the colours in my Shaker Card

I hope that you enjoyed my shaker card and that you are inspired to create
something very similar.
