INK & INSPIRATION BLOG HOP - 2017 HOLIDAY CATALOGUE

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. This month our blog hop features products from the 2017 Holiday Catalogue.  You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from AUSTRALIA. I hope you like the project I am sharing with you this time.

This may seem a little crazy to some people but I have already started wrapping Christmas presents. I am doing this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is much easier to have them wrapped as I purchase them rather than trying to find a hiding space and secondly, my schedule is about to get very hectic for the next few months. So on that note, I have made some gift tags to go on the gifts.

The Merry Little Labels stamp set has been designed with gift tags in mind and four of the stamps  match perfectly with the Everyday Label Punch.

I used gold heat embossing on the "No Peeking" and flirty flamingo ink on the "For, From" on scraps of Very Vanilla cardstock. I then punched them out using the Everyday Label punch and glued a gold foil snowflake, which was cut down so each tag only used a portion of a flake.

The main body of the tags use Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink card strips 10cm x 5cm and cut them with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch to create the tag shape. I then dry embossed the Flirty Flamingo ones using the Holly embossing folder.

I love the way these turned out. They were quick and simple to make and easy enough to mass produce for multiple gifts.

ESAD 2017 HOLIDAY CATALOGUE BLOG HOP

I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful projects in the ESAD 2017 Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop.
I can't wait to see what everyone has to share with us today.

You may have come from the wonderful Jessie Holton or be starting the hop here with me, Rosalie Desmond.

I always love a new catalogue, for me it's time to explore new things and try new techniques or folds. So in that spirit I have a Four Fold Card to share with you today. My card uses the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (p.13), which comes as a 24 sheet pack, featuring music notes and lyrics from popular Christmas Carols in Basic Black and Whisper White.

I used the Hearts Come Home stamp set (p. 39) for the sentiments and all the images on my card.

I found heaps of tutorials on YouTube which show this fold. While it may look wonderful, it is actually simple to put together. Once you have cute your base pieces and scored the card stock, you just glue the smaller base piece to the 1/4" scored end.

Measurements:

Card Bases
Basic Black Card Base first piece 5 1/2" x 11 1/2", scored at 4 1/4", 7 3/4" & 11 1/4"
Basic Black Card Base second piece 2 3/4" x 4 1/4

Layers
1 piece 4" x 5 1/4"
2 pieces 3 1/4 x 4 3/4"
2 pieces 2 1/2" x 4"

Scrap Whisper White for sentiment

Merry Music Speciality DSP, Hearts Come Home stamp set, Everyday Label Punch

I hope you enjoy the remainder of the hop. The lovely Liv Ingle is next

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP - HOLIDAY CATALOGUE SNEAK PEEK

Welcome to another Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. Today we are sharing some sneak peeks from the 2017 Holiday Catalogue which is available from the 1st of September. I hope you enjoy the hop and we don't grow your wish list too much!

The cards I am sharing with you today are quick and simple, using the Carols of Christmas stamp set and some new designer series paper - Merry Little Christmas.

I find that sometimes simple is best. Keeping our design clean cut and the number of products we use to a minimum, can still look stunning and shows that we don't need to own the whole catalogue (although that is the dream!)

The Merry Little Christmas DSP uses Basic Black, Old Olive and Whisper White in its images. This DSP is so versatile, as many of the pieces can be used well beyond the Christmas theme, which gives as more bang for our buck!

I hope you have been enjoying the blog hop, don't forget to visit them all and leave some love in the comments section.

Until next time. Thank you for stopping by,
Rosalie
