Copper Delight - with Birthday Blooms

Every day I seem to be amazed with all the different designs we can make with just a bit of paper, ink and glue. I hope you like the project I am sharing with you today.

I used the smaller flower image from the Birthday Blooms and embossed it many times on the blushing bride mat. Added a banner of copper foil and one of very vanilla with another copper embossed flower. This time I coloured the petals using a Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker. I wrapped some copper metallic thread and a blushing bride heart from the subtles enamel shapes.

Here is the sketch I used from Global Design Project.

The colours are from The Paper Players colour challenge.

Time for another card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.

I love this set so much, and I haven't even started using the matching framelits yet!

This time I fussy cut the dragonfly and popped it using Stampin' dimensionals.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Bibi Cameron

Time sure does fly, its time for another Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. Today we have the lovely Bibi Cameron joining us. For those of you that don't know, Bibi is a demonstrator from the UK. She not only has a blog for us to gain inspiration from but also has a YouTube channel in which she often shares tutorials and ideas. Thanks Bibi.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me.  Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

With so many projects to choose from, it was hard to decide which project I would focus on. One blog entry did stand out for me, a card she entered into a sketch challenge with TGIF using the Fairy Celebration stamp set. Bibi used aqua painters to water colour the image. Absolutely beautiful as you can see below.

Sometimes when we CASE, we are taken in whole new direction. This was one of those times.

My project today does not use water colour, nor does it use washi tape. It's not even a card.
So you may ask yourself, how was I inspired?

One of the elements that stood out for me when I looked at Bibi's card, was the pop of red on the cherries. I used this element and based today's project around it.

To create my box I simply cut out the box using my Big Shot. Stamped using versamark and heat embossed the image in Copper. I used a Real Red Stampin' Write marker to colour the cherries. Then I glued the box together and added some Real Red ribbon to make a bow on the handle.

Quick, simple but yet effective!

I just love these cute little boxes. Great for any occasion and so simple to put together.

A card for you...

Stamp sets are often designed in such a way that you can use the images for more than just the obvious.

For this card I used the leaves of the big tree to create a background for my card. I used Pear Pizzazz and Cajun Craze markers directly on the stamp to create the multi-coloured image.

The accent is the single leaf embossed with copper. The sentiment "For You" is also from this set.

The Thoughtful Branches bundle is very versatile. The images of trees, birds, flower, and the amazing sentiments would be a great addition to any crafting collection. This exclusive limited-time bundle is only available until 31 August or until stocks last.
