Crafty Collaborations - Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - Trusty Tools Bundle

 

Sneak Peak

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the 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.

Today I chose to use Trusty Tools Bundle as well as the FREE Sale-A-Bration DSP to create this layout for Crafty Collaborations Monthly Blog Hop

You are the Most AWESOME Dad is something that my Son would say all the time...                   So this stamp set was PERFECT for this layout.

Simple layouts are so much FUN to create and this one was a very easy layout to create as everything for it was fussy cut or die-cut from the FREE Designer Series Paper. 

The Bundle has so many AMAZING workshop tool that you can stamp and die cut, even if you don't choose the DSP as one of your free items

You may have joined me here from Julia's Blog

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

Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase Hop

 

Sneak Peak

 

 

 
Hello and Welcome to Ink, Stamp, Share like the name states
We LOVE using Ink, Stamps and we LOVE to share our creations with you.
We are a Collaboration of Creative Minds who are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators
from all around the globe.

This month's theme is a Showcase Hop - so showcasing what we are currently creating with.
I have been participating in an Insta Hop where we are using a particular colour.
So here is another card that I created using all the left-overs on my desk.
I don't know about you BUT I LOVE making cards with the leftover bits,
I hate putting those bits away waiting for the day that I will use them again.


I chose to use Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini.
Which is just so gorgeous with all the Lotus flowers on it.
I embossed it on Poetic Expressions DSP, it created a deeper impression because
of the weight of the Designer Series Paper.
Using the dies from the Apple Blossom Dies I cut a scalloped border from Basic White.
Then I used the leftover piece (back of the DSP) for the bottom half of the card.

I stamped the "Hello" sentiment from Heartfelt Hellos which is a sentiment only stamp
with common sentiments that we use often.  You can earn this for FREE during SAB.
Sale-A-Bration continues until the end of Feb with plenty of AMAZING FREE products.

Now the Hello was stamped I layered up the Basic White layer and the Moody Mauve layer
and ran it through the Layered Florals 3D EF....
BUT before I did that I added some into on the inside of the folder so that you will
be able to show up the ink on the raised parts of the Lotus flowers after you have finished embossing it.  I don't own the brayer so I just used a blending brush and added colour to the folder.  It looks GREAT, don't you think?

 Here are the 2 cards side by side...Same, Same BUT Different

Hope you enjoyed my Showcase projects, I was a little worried about it.
SOOO long story short this card is very much the same as the one I did for the Insta Hop.
I just couldn't create anything different than what I did for the previous hop,
it annoyed me so much that it wasn't I wasn't totally happy with it.
At least it didn't end up in the bin, sometimes you just have to throw these kinda cards.
BUT looking at it a couple of days later I don't know what I was worried about.

I am sure that Tricia will have something wonderful to share with us all.

Up next is Tricia's Stamping Creations

Until the next time that I hop with these ladies again, Follow the list
all the way through and leave them all some LOVIN' in the form of a comment.
We all LOVE being CREATIVE - Being CREATIVE is not a hobby it is a way of life.
Cheers Shaz

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.
