Crazy Crafters Colour Combo Blog Hop

Thanks for joining The Crazy Crafters team blog hop. This is time we had to choose a combo of colours from the Stampin' Up! pintrest board for inspiration. There were so many to choose from. As it is the July/August period and this is a huge birthday time in my family, I thought I should combine creating for the Blog Hop and doing some of the birthday cards I need to do. 

This is the picture which I took some inspiration from.

This is the tenth stop in our Colour Combo blog hop line. You should have just come from  Sue Wdowik at Nigh Nigh Birdie , if this is your first stop then you can work your way to every blog from here. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you the full hop. 

My first creation uses the new stamp set in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue called Boys Will Be Boys. This was actually on the top of my wish list when I first saw the catalogue. My son loves robots and lego, so I knew I would use it. Just because the term "boys" is used in the naming of this set, doesn't mean that it can't be used for girls. This card has been designed as a birthday card for a young girl, change the colours and it could be for either gender.

In this card I've used a combination of Big News and Garden Party stamp sets, both are available in the current Annual Catalogue. I love the pretty little images in this stamp set, you can combine them in all sorts of ways.

This is my final card for this months Blog Hop, it uses the Be the Star stamp set. The group of small stars have been heat embossed in silver, to give the card that extra little something. I also used the star punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack Accents, punched out some Daffodil Delight card stock and raised them with dimensionals.

Crazy Crafters July Blog Hop NEW 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! Catalogue

Thanks for joining The Crazy Crafters team blog hop for July. This is my first time joining the line up.

This month we are excited to show you Stampin' Up! products available now in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue. We hope you enjoy your travels through our hop and discover some interesting ways to use the products. 

This is the seventh stop in our Annual Catalogue blog hop line. You should have just come from Tamie Holt at Tamie Luvs Craft 2 , if this is your first stop then you can work your way to every blog from here. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations. 

What makes this blog hop even more special for me, besides it being my first, is that it is my daughter's 9th Birthday. Common practice at her school, is for the birthday child to bring in a treat for each of the class members. For this project I was given a lot of direction. My daughter chose the colours, the stamps, the punches, in fact everything.

She chose a cute little circle "surprise" stamp from the Amazing Birthday stamp set (p. 48). This stamp set had three similar sized stamps for her to chose from, so as you can imagine designing took a lot of time and debating. 

She then decided that she wanted to pretty it up a bit and used a handy little stamp from the Hello There hostess stamp set (p. 237). This stamp worked so well to become an outer circle around her greeting.

We then punched out a love heart for each treat tags using the heart from the new Itty Bitty Punch Pack (p. 222) and heat embossed my daughter's name on each one using the Back to Basics Alphabet stamp set (p. 98). The size of the letters were prefect for this project. 

Then we assembled the tags and tied them on with 3.2mm silver ribbon (p. 206).

All ready for back to school tomorrow.
