Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop - Dec - Tags

Hello Crafty Friends,


Welcome to the final Stampin' Up! 2019 Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. It has been an absolutely mind blowing year and I feel so honoured to have been given this amazing opportunity.  I am extremely appreciative for all the support we have received and feel immensely grateful to call all the ladies on the Team, my very special friends.  


We are going out with a bang so be sure to hop all the way through as we have so many incredibly inspiring ideas using the Tags Tags Tags Bundle and the Mini Curvy Keepsake Bundle or both! Here's a sneak peak....

The creations I have to share with you today were inspired by one of my daughters favourite first books - the very hungry caterpillar. She read (sucked on and maybe even ate) the book to the point I swear it was growing things on the torn page edges lol. Knowing that it is still a favourite for children today, I decided to create a caterpillar inspired projects using the Mini Curvy Keepsake Bundle.


To create the Caterpillar, I have die cut the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box from Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Card. The face has been constructed from different sized circle dies and punches. A few Glitter enamel dots in Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana have been added to the body and eyes. 


The hungry Caterpillar has to have an Apple to eat, right? Lol. The apple has been die cut from Poppy Parade card with the stamped and die cut leaves from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set adhered to the top along with a strip of Soft Suede card that I have used to mimic the stem.


The matching card incorporates a bit of punch art and was inspired by a creation made by my super talented friend and fellow West Australian demo Rachel Lewsley from My Paper Haven. The die cut circles that make up the body have been stamped with a 'splatter' stamp from the Rare Blessings Stamp Set to give the "skin" a little depth.  Little black die cut hearts were used for the feet (turn then upside down) and glitter enamel dots for the centre of the eyes. A few die cut stitched stars were added to the top left of the card along with a White Bakers Twine bow.


That is all from me today. Thank You Stampin' Up! for a year I will never forget. Extra special thanks to our inspirational leader, Lauren Alarid, the super talented Concept Art Team, all the Ladies on the 2019 ADT and all those who supported and encouraged us on our Artisan journey.

Up next in this Blog Hop is my super talented friend, Jennifer Picard with her uber cute creations.

OSAT Blog Hop - Spooktacular

Hello Crafty Friends
OSAT
Welcome to the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for October. This month the talented Design Team are sharing fabulously fun creations with a SPOOKTACULAR theme. You may have arrived having just visited Martin Stone with his spooky projects. Be sure to follow the hop all the way through for more inspiring Spooktacular creations just in time for Halloween.

Now, I must confess I totally love everything about Halloween creations but its not celebrated hugely here in Australia so its not something I get to do often. I had so much fun with the projects I have to share today and so wish I had little children so we could do the whole Halloween thing.


Shimmery White card stock has been splashed with Granny Apple Green ink using an Aqua Painter and cut down to fit the front of a 4" Note Card layered with GAG Card.

The Greeting from the Tags Tags Tags bundle has been white heat embossed on Highland Heather card and die card. I have also used the uber cute little pumpkin dies from the same bundle, cut from Pumpkin Pie card sand layered over Black.

How cute is the little Pumpkin! And its a gift box to boot!! One quick pass through the Big Shot and you have the cutest mini curvy keepsake package.


Before constructing the gift box, I ran a few lines down the Pumpkin Pie card stock with a Stampin' Blend. Black card stock has been snipped into the triangle shapes for the eyes and wonky mouth. Early Espresso strips were curled and added to the top with Tombow along with a couple of die cut leaves.

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to hop all the way through the Participant List below for even more inspiring creations with a SPOOKTACULAR theme. Up next is Jo Anne Hewins with her amazing projects.
