INK & INSPIRATION BLOG HOP - LOVE ME TENDER!

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. This month our blog hop theme is love- so anniversary, wedding or Valentines Day or just pain old love.  You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from AUSTRALIA. I hope you like the project I am sharing with you this time.





I used the bubble wrap technique to create a colourful background and then cut out the heart.

I love the way my card came together buy just adding some glimmer paper flowers and a few tempting turquoise enamel shapes. 

I hope you enjoy the blog hop. Make sure you do a complete hop for lots of love inspiration.

STAMPIN' DREAMS BLOG HOP - LOVE THEME

Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. This month's theme is LOVE. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from Australia. I hope you like my card.

I used the heart stamp in this set to create a boarder inside the card.

The moment I saw the Bird Banter stamp set I knew I wanted to make the Buggies into love bird silhouettes. I love it when I look at a set and instantly have ideas and in this case I am happy with the results.

Once I stamped the two bird images out, I then used the Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to colour the inside of the image. A nice and simple way to create a different look with stamps.

FAVORITE SALE-A-BRATION OR OCCASIONS CATALOGUE PRODUCTS - KYLIE'S INTERNATIONAL BLOG HIGHLIGHTS

One of my new favourite sets which is in the current Sale-a-Bration catalogue is the Party Pandas set. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this in the catalogue, so super cute and FREE with orders over $90AUS.

This card was created for my gorgeous 1 year Great Nephew in celebration of his 1st birthday.

I love this little panda, he is so much fun, easy to stamp and just needed to add a little colour. The bright colours in the strip of paper from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper (1441118) gave me my colour inspiration for my card, with some Bermuda Bay (my favourite colour) thrown in.

The sentiment I used "Happy Birthday" is from the same set, Party Pandas and the number 1 was die cut using the Large Number Framelits (140622).

For the inside of my card I used the balloon portion of one of the panda stamps to further create the birthday theme.

Measurements:

Real Red Card Base 21 x 20cm, scored at 10.5cm
Inside Whisper White Layer 9.5 x 14cm
Strip of DSP 5 x 14.9cm
Scraps of Whisper White and Pacific Point Card stock

ALL OCCASIONS WITH PETAL PALETTE BUNDLE

I like to have some all occasions cards in my stash that I can use for anything. I find by not having a sentiment, it often makes a card more versatile. This one could be used for a birthday, thank you, thinking of you, get well or even just because, depending on what I hand write in the center.

I used one of  the smaller floral images and stamped them in a line to create the background image. The Bermuda Bay strip was run through the Big Shot using one of the embossing folders from Petal Pair Textured Impressions (145656) from the 2018 Occasions Catalogue.

I then used the same style as the background for the inside of the card.

I added a little colour to the images by using a blender pen, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz and Flirty Flamingo ink.

2018 SALE-A-BRATION & OCCASSION CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP

I love this time of year - Sale a Bration!

FREE products, new catalogues and bonus rewards, what more could I want - a blog hop of course! 

So on that note, welcome to the Crazy Crafters 2018 Sale-a-Bration & Occassions catalogue blog hop. You are in for a treat. Follow the whole hop around and you will have the chance to see some amazing projects and get some inspiration. 

I thought I would share another project with my (current) favourite stamp sets - Beautiful Peacock! I made this card for a wonderful friend (look away now Ellen). I didn’t send her a birthday card late last year as nothing I made was right, so I am sending this one instead. 

I love this colour combination - Lemon Lime Twist, Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay. I did do a little bit of fussy cutting of the peacocks body, but it’s a pretty easy cut and gives it some dimension. 

One of the wonderful aspects of making your own cards is that you can create them to your taste, so remember to add a little something to the inside of your card. 

I hope you enjoy the remainder of the  blog hop. 

Thank you for stopping by,
Rosalie

BEAUTIFUL PEACOCK - #GDP120

After a long blogging break, and an even longer break from entering challenges, I thought it would be fun to play along with the latest Global Design Project challenge.

Here is my entry.

Inspiration can come from many places, from photos, scenery, clothing, nature and the like. This time, the inspiration is from Krista's card. I used not only her layout, but also her colour palette.

I love the way the Soft Sky, Gold and White remind me of elegance and relaxation. I choose not to have a sentiment on my card. This will allow me to have versatility and use the card for an almost endless amount of purposes.

For this card I used the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set - Beautiful Peacock. You are able to receive this set for FREE by spending over $90 AUS in any order between now and March 31, 2018.

Measurements:

Whisper White Card Base 21 x 20cm, scored at 10.5cm
Larger Whisper White Layer 9.5 x 14cm7
Smaller Whisper White Layer 8 x 12.5cm
Inside Whisper White Layer 9.5 x 14cm
Scraps of Whisper White and Soft Sky
