CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH WENDY LEE

Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Wendy Lee. I am so looking forward to have Wendy joining us today, her work is amazing. It was so hard to just choose one. Make sure you take some time later to check out her blog. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

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.

This is the card I made using Wendy's creation as my inspiration. This card has a lot more white space than my normal work.

Here is Wendy's awesome card.

I used some of the floral images and the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and just a little Gold Metallic Thread.

Products used:

ESAD FAVOURITES FROM THE 2017/18 ANNUAL CATALOGUE BLOG HOP

I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful projects in the ESAD Favourites from the 2017/18 Annual Catalogue Blog Hop.

I wonder what products will be everyone's favourite??

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

With so many amazing products it is so hard to decide which is my favourite, so today I will share my favourite at the moment!

I have actually combined two of my favourites - Climbing Orchid and Sheet Music stamp sets. I love the way these cards turned out and the way the two sets combine.

I love the new mini chevron ribbon, it is so soft and easy to use, so I have placed a small piece on the Bermuda Bay card. I love the look of the coloured ribbon on top of the burlap.

For this one, I don't currently have any Melon Mambo ribbon so I had to get creative. I cut a small strip of cardstock to give a similar affect.

You may be wondering what ESAD is?

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have fun and enjoy hopping around the whole hop. Next you will find the lovely, Linda Whalley.

ESAD 2017 RETIREMENT LIST BLOG HOP

Times change, as do products. We are currently saying "Goodbye" to some of our old favourites, to make way for new items later in the year. It is retirement list time!

For you, this may be the time to pick up a bargain or your last chance to grab that set that has been catching your eye for some time. Don't wait until they are gone, check out the store today!

I hope you are enjoying all the gorgeous projects in the ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog Hop. What an amazing opportunity to have a whole bunch of products highlighted for you!

Today I am sharing one of my favourite stamp sets - Nailed It!

A set for all those males in our lives, although it is also suitable for females as well. I love the images in this set. It can be used for people of all ages, children, teens and adults.

Here is a card I have made to share with you today.

For this card I have used the Nailed It stamp set. Currently, it is only available in wood mount as clear mount has SOLD OUT. So if you are loving this set as much as I do, you will need to get in quick. Once the items are gone, they are gone!

I fussy cut (hand cut) the tools on my card. As the shapes are very simple, they were quick and easy to cut.

I used the Urban Underground Speciality Designer Series Paper, which is also on the retirement list, for the background under the tools. This paper pack is so versatile as the images are not necessarily connected with tools.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop.

INSPIRED BY ALASKA BLOG HOP

Today I have an amazing opportunity for you. I am taking part in the Aim for Alaska Blog Hop and I would like you to join me.

What is Aim for Alaska, you may ask? Aim for Alaska is an amazing training and support group for Stampin' Up! demonstrators, run by Kylie Bertucci. One of the amazing opportunities that Stampin' Up! provide their demonstrators is the ability to earn a trip each year. The current trip we are striving for is a trip to Alaska!

When I think about Alaska I think of the crystal blue waters, the amazing green trees and the pure white sparkly snow. With this in mind, this is what I made.

You may wonder how I made my background. The answer is emboss resist. I used the splatter stamp from Touches of Texture and clear embossed. I then used sponge daubers to add colour.

These are the colours I used in the background.

I then stamped the ship from the Traveler stamp set in smoky slate on some vellum and cut it out using the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The image reminds me of a cruise ship.
I then added a few metallic enamel shapes to finish it off.

Thanks for joining me. I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop.

Balloon Adventures - Mojo Monday 484

I really enjoyed joining in with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

I used the Balloon Adventures stamp set in combination with the Balloon Bouquet punch to create this cad. The squares were cut out with the stitched shapes framelits, I love how the stitched details on the framelits just give the card that little something extra.

Here is the sketch.
