CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH DENA REKOW

Welcome once again to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copying And Selectively Editing) any project that has been created by Dena Rekow. Thank you for joining us today. We hope that you enjoy today's blog hop.

You may just of started here at my blog- Rosalie Desmond or you may of come from the previous person. Be sure to click on the person under me, which is listed further down the page to continue on with the hop.

CASEing Dena was so much fun. Here is what she inspired me to create.

This is the card that I took my inspiration from. For more details about how you can re-create Dena's project click here.

I loved the layout in Dena's card, so used it to base my card around. I used elements from the Tropical Escape Suite (p. 121 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue), including the Tropical Chic stamp set, Tropical Thinlits and the Tropical Escape 6" x 6" DSP.

To add just a little bit of glitz to the card I used the Champagne Mist shimmer paint with a sponge dauber on the scalloped square.

Make sure that you visit all the other blogs in today's hop to gain lots of ideas for your future crafting.

Happy hopping,

JAR OF LOVE - SHAKER

Every now and then it is time to make a special card, this time it is a shaker card using the Jar of Love. I love how this stamp set has matching framelits. This makes things so much easier when making a shaker card.

The cute little hearts that I used for the inside of the shaker are from the Everyday Jars Framelits (141490) which matches the stamp set. I also cut out some in Silver Glimmer Paper (135314) and glued them in random places on the card.

JAR OF LOVE MEETS CRAFTING FOREVER

When I first saw the new Annual Catalogue I knew I "needed" the Crafting Forever Stamp Set. Then I noticed the fountain pen. That pen had to be matched up with a jar of ink and so it could do some writing.

To make the piece of note paper on this card, I used a small piece of Whisper White scrap and distress it. I created the distress look by using the blade of my scissors and then sponging lightly with Smoky Slate ink.

Measurements:

Bermuda Bay Card Base 29.6 x 10.5cm, scored at 14.8cm

ESAD EASTERN PALACE SUITE BLOG HOP

I hope you are enjoying all the gorgeous projects in the ESAD Eastern Palace Suite Blog Hop.

We have been enough to have a suite from the new 2017-2018 Catalogue early. It is an amazing collection of a stamp set, thinlits, inks, card stock, designer series paper, stickers, and tassels. What makes this even better is that it is available to everyone as bundles right now!

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

Recently, I have been really having some fun with this suite. I have found that it works with almost any colour scheme and the designs you can make are almost endless. So if you are looking for some versatile products, this suite is certainly worth a look. Here is a card that I would love to share with you today.

I have teamed up the lovely Specialty Designer Series paper with some  Daffodil Delight and Tranquil Tide card stock and some stamping. If you thought you just read a new colour, you are absolutely correct. Tranquil Tide is one of this years new in-colours. The gorgeous spotty piece of paper is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper which highlights another new in-colour, Lemon Lime Twist.

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

The Eastern Palace Suite is currently available as two different types of bundles- Starter Bundle and Premier Bundle. By buying as a bundle you save money by gaining some product for free. So why not take the most of this opportunity and buy it before May 31.

WASHI WEDNESDAY #7

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I know I missed last week, due to a blog hop commitment but as requested I have another washi Wednesday for you today. This time I have used the washi tape as a background feature.

The sentiment for this Thank you card is from Suite Sentiments, stamped in Melon Mambo. The bling on the card is actually rhinestones that are coloured black with a sharpie marker.

As with most uses for washi, it is a quick way to create interest on a project. If you haven't given washi a chance, I suggest that you do. Feel free to share any of your ideas, as I am sure that the uses are almost never ending.

Thanks for joining me today,
Rosalie

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH RACHEL TESSMAN

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 Rachel Tessman. She is such a talented crafter. You should 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 what I was inspired to create.

I used a range of colours to create my card as I wanted it to be mutil-coloured.

This is Rachel's amazing projects that inspired my card.

Rachel used the sponge daubers to create the circles, which I thought was a very simple yet very effective technique. So I used this same technique on Sheltering Tree. As a final touch I added a Tempting Turquoise heart from the enamel shapes.

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

BLEACHING TECHNIQUE with SO VERY MUCH & HEY, CHICK

Last week I had major computer problems and my computer would not respond at all. My brother-in-law came to the rescue (thinking about it now, I should of made him a super hero card). So I made him this thank you card using the So Very Much & Hey, Chick stamp sets from the 2017 Sale-a-Bration  Catalogue.

I had to make it a little special inside the card as well.

I used the bleaching technique for the chicks body and also the egg inside the card. To colour the chicken hair I used a combination of bleach, chocolate chip, and crumb cake.

If you love either of these stamp sets and are wanting them, they can be earned for FREE during Sale-a-Bration (which ends 31st March. 2017) with every $90AUS purchase. To purchase any Stampin' Up! items please go to my shop now button on the right hand side. Thanks for stopping by,

Irresistibly Thankyou - #SIP086

Customer thank you cards. Who doesn't want something special for placing an order!

Today's card was made for a lovely lady who has just started ordering with me.

The question is, do I make her something with an item that she just ordered or do I use something else? Well, it took me about 2 seconds to come to the conclusion that she is about to make her own special projects with her order, so lets make her something pretty with something she doesn't own herself.

I used Irresistibly Floral Designer Paper and sponged the colours on to the paper. I love how easy this paper is to use.

The sentiment "THANKYOU" is from the Love Sparkles Stamp Set which is from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue. I used black memento ink and stamped on vellum, then matted with Bermuda Bay and Peek-a-boo peach.

My colour inspiration for this card is from the Stamp Ink Paper #86 colour challenge.

I hope she likes it as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by,
Rosalie

THANK YOU - #GDP073

This week is a colour challenge over at Global Design Project. As you may know, I like doing challenges as it not only stretches my creativity but also reminds me to use products  that I often forget to use.

Here is what I have made to enter this week using the Festive Birthday Designer Series paper and the Any Occasion stamp set. The stamp set I received for FREE when I purchased over $90AU.

These are the colours in this weeks challenge.

I love these enamel dots to add a touch of colour.

I added a little Daffodil Delight to the designer series paper with a Stampin' Write Marker.
