Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Brightly Gleaming

Good Day Crafty Friends

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for November. This month the talented Design Team are showcasing items from the Brightly Gleaming Suite which can be found on Pages 30-32 of the Holiday Catalogue. There is a variety of coordinating products including Stamps, Punches, DSP, Embossing Folder and Copper embellishments. 

I have three projects to share with you today, two cards and a gift box. I have used just the Christmas Gleaming stamp set for my creations, combining them with colours not used in the suite. 

To start with is a project perfect for beginners. It is fairly quick and easy to create so not much time is needed for this one.

Two ornaments have been stamped onto a card front with the third stamped onto scrap, coloured and then fussy cut (or you can use the coordinating punch - I did not want the white outline so I chose to fussy cut).  Before adding the third ornament, the card front was embossed with the Subtle Folder. I have scored the middle of the large pink ornament and then adhered Tombow to the crease to fix to the card front.

The next card uses the floating frame technique without the "frame". All the images were coloured using Stampin' Blends, fussy cut and then adhered to the card front with Dimensionals. 

Once the pieces have been adhered to the card, the overhang was removed and a few sequins added.

My final project is my favie lol Its a gift box constructed from A4 sheets of Blushing Bride and Whisper White card stock. Again I have coloured the stamped images with Stampin' Blends, fussy cut and adhered using Tombow and Dimensionals.

The black splatters were achieved by using the lid of a Black Stampin' Write Marker and the brush tip. A little bit of Polka Dot Ribbon was tucked underneath the cluster with a few sequins scattered around the outside.

That is all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to continue hopping all the way around the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop as the Design Team share their amazing creativity using products from the Brightly Gleaming Suite.

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty xx

OSAT Blog Hop - Holiday Festival

Hello Hello Crafty Friends

Welcome to the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for November. We are hopping a week earlier this month as many Stampin' Up! Demonstrators all over the globe are about embark on travels for the bi-annual Stampin' Up! convention next weekend. Wahoooooo! I am so excited to see all my Stamping friends.

Our theme this month is HOLIDAY FESTIVAL in particular a WINTER Holiday Festival. Being from Australia, this was the perfect opportunity for me to create some 'snowy' Christmas projects. 

To create the card I started with the creation of the background - taking a piece of Shimmery White card, I white heat embossed the snowflake image from Seasonal Wreaths stamp set. Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point inks were then sponged over the top. 

The fairy image from the New Wonders stamp set has been coloured with Stampin' Blends, fussy cut and adhered to the card front with mini dimensionals.

A couple of felt embellishments from the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit have been adhered to the fairy to keep her warm as she writes her festive message.  The "merry christmas" greeting from Christmas Rose stamp set has been white heat embossed onto Black card, fussy cut and adhered with mini dimensionals over the holly image, which is from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.

The Sparkle Glimmer "snow" covered ground looked a tad bare so I added a couple of stamped tree images from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set.

To decorate the exterior of the mini Pizza Box, I have taken a piece of Feels Like Frost 6"x 6" DSP, the silver and white side, and applied Pacific Point ink with a sponge. Once I was happy with the ink coverage, I cut the sponged DSP down to fit the panels of the box.

Real Red Curly Ribbon has been wrapped around the exterior of the Pizza Box, tied into a bow and added a decorated Stitched die cut circle tag. The tree image from Perfectly Plaid stamp set has been inked in Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green inks and then punched with the coordination punch. I also added a  snowflake that  has been die cut from a left over piece of the sponged DSP and stitched red heart.

That is all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by and Hopping with us. If you are attending an Onstage Event next week - Safe Travels! If you want to know more about these uber FUN events, contact your Demonstrator for more information.
