Blog Hop

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Today, I'm having a part in the blog hop with the Stamp Review Crew once again. This is a group of stamping enthusiasts - each blog hop features ONE STAMP SET, thus showing how versatile that particular set it.

Today, the hop revolves around a stamp set called 'Paisleys and Posies.'


This is a modern twist on a classic shape. It isn't your grandmother's paisley pattern - though she'd definitely like it. When i first saw this, I wasn't sold. But, I really like it now.

Here are the colours I started with - I was inspired to use the Cajun Craze after looking at a piece of designer series paper (which I ended up using).

Here is the project I ended up with;


I wanted to keep the card very simple. I like the paisley flower most of the images. And, the sentiment is great too. I had planned to use more of the images with more cut-outs using the framelits. But, in the end, I liked it with only one.


Confession - the oval element was unplanned. You see, I made the mistake of stamping the sentiment on the card AFTER I had stuck it down. And, of course, it stamped VERY badly. So, I introduced this element and I rather like how it ended up.

I really appreciate you stopping by today. Want to make sure you don't miss any of my posts? Click here to receive them by email.

Hi There. I just wanted to share a small post with you tonight. I made a card for this week's Global Design Project colour challenge. Here is the inspiration;


And, here is the card I ended up with;


I started with the Mint Macaron DSP from the stack. Then, I stamped with Rich Razzleberry using the diagonal stamp, thus creating the cross-hatch pattern.


I then stamped the bird using all three colours. I'll be honest that I started it out as a test, but I liked it so it ended up on the card. I then used the Layering Circles and cut out the bird and a scalloped frame for it in Rich Razzleberry and mounted using dimensionals.


I then stamped on white using Basic Black on Whisper White. I then cut it out using the Project Life Framelit kit. I then mounted it on Burlap.

I'm a real fan of how the background turned out. I'm definitely going to try this with some other colours.
