Daisy Lane and Tasteful Textures InspireINK Blog Hop

Hello, welcome to September's InspireINK blog hop.

This months challenge is in the form of a Tic Tac Toe. I could pick any row, up, down or diagonally from this picture.

After some deliberation I chose the vertical line on the left , Gold, Balmy Blue and |Smoky Slate and this is the card I made.

I stamped the damask image from the Tasteful Textures Stamp Set in Whisper White Craft Ink randomly onto a panel of Smoky Slate. After that I ran it through the Pinewood Plank 3D Embossing Folder which gives a textured wood finish. 

I added some interest by inking around the edges of the Panel with Smoky Slate Ink.

I stamped the same image in Balmy Blue on some Whisper White cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment with Gold Stampin Emboss Powder and then cut it out with one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

This is such a great sentiment...my crafting time definitely makes my soul happy !

I stamped and punched both sizes of the daisies from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and layered them up...they make such lovely dimensional flowers and added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center

 Some Vellum leaves, Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and a bit of retired gold sequin behind the flower finished it off.

I think this turned out to be a really pretty card and would look great in lots of  different colourways.

As always have a hop around at my crafty pals projects they are all there to inspire you.

Happy Stamping

Monster Bash Pop and Twist Halloween Card

Hello there, welcome to the Pootlers New Catalogue Blog Hop

For this blog hop I thought I would make a project using the fun Monster Bash Designer Paper from the 2019 Autumn/Winter catalogue.

I really enjoy making Pop and Twist cards, they are great for a special occasion card and I have made a few recently for special birthdays.

I have never 'done ' Halloween...it wasn't such a big thing in the UK when my children were young but I do love all the papers and products that arrive at this time of year and enjoy  making something with them.

This pack of designer paper has lots of spooky paper and because they are all double-sided, some that you can use any time of year, you can see some more of them in the background of the photos.

One of the papers has a a gallery of halloween creatures and I used these to make a gallery inside the card. I have also used the Detailed Bands dies...I just adore these..so pretty and versatile, as frames both on the inside and the front.

I have used some of the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in Crushed Curry and a tag from the Tags Tags Tags bundle on the front of the card and . 

This set has stamps and tags for Halloween, Christmas and looking ahead, Valentines Day ! 

Thanks for looking today. I hope you have enjoyed my project and will hop around to see what my team mates have made.



Have fun and Happy Stamping
