Baby Moon Shaker Card

This is my second post for today.  I don't usually post this often but I've been wanting to use the Baby Moon stamp set to create a shaker card so when I saw the challenges over at TGIF Challenge #tgif99 and Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #90 I knew this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

The TGIF Challenge this week is to make something baby related, and the Challenge at Stamp Ink Paper is create a shaker card!

To make my card I used the Baby Moon stamp set, watercolour pencils and Whisper White and Pacific Point cardstock.

Although I watercoloured the image, this was a fairly quick card to make as I used the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits Dies and the Foam Adhesive Strips to create the shaker component.  I added a combination of gold and silver stars of various sizes to create the shaker and then finished the card off by adding some Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine and a Daffodil Delight heart from the Brights Enamel Shapes.

Thanks for stopping by.  I love hearing from my readers, so please feel free to leave a comment!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Janneke de Jong

Welcome to another Crazy Crafters Blog Hop.

This week we are joined by, and CASE-ing (Copy and Selectively Edit), Janneke de Jong!

As always, there will be plenty of amazing projects to see as part of this blog hop, so make sure you check out the rest of the lineup at the end of this post.

I had a hard time deciding which of Janneke's cards to CASE as she has made so many fantastic creations, but in the end, I decided on this card.

I really like the layout of this card.  It's so simple but the result is stunning and you can change it up slightly to create a completely different card.

I actually made 2 cards using this layout, a simple version and a slightly stepped up version, and thought I'd post both as I couldn't decide which one I liked better.

This is the first card I created...

I used the Happy Celebrations stamp set and stamped the 'HAPPY' multiple times onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I then used the Celebrations Due embossing folder to emboss the 'HAPPY' in the center of the panel.

I used So Saffron and Calypso Coral cardstock for the layers and the card base is Bermuda Bay.

To step the card up a bit, I used the same technique but stamped and embossed the 'HAPPY' onto some scrap cardstock before colouring it in with a So Saffron Stampin' Write maker and fussy cutting each of the letters out.

I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the letters over the top of the 'HAPPY' in the center of the panel.

 

I should also mention that the colour inspiration came from this weeks TGIF Challenge #tgifc97.  I have entered the 'stepped up' card into this challenge, as well as this weeks Global Design Project #GDP076 where the challenge is 'CASE the Designer'.

I hope you like these cards as much as I do.  Please feel free to leave a comment below and don't forget to check out the rest of the blog hop!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Shannon Lane

Welcome and thanks for joining us on another Crazy Crafters Blog Hop.  Today we are CASE-ing (Copy and Selectively Edit) Shannon Lane.

I've been following Shannon's work for a while now so it's an amazing privilege to not only be able to CASE one of her creations, but to participate in a blog hop alongside her!

I really hope you enjoy this hop as much as I do. Make sure you take a look at the full lineup below to see what other creations the Crazy Crafters have come up with.

For this hop, I decided to CASE these cards.  I really like the layout and how versatile it is.

I've been wanting to play with the Big on Birthdays stamp set for a while now and thought this would be the perfect opportunity.  The stamp I wanted to use though is quite large so I decided to put my twist on the layout and this is the result.

I stamped the image and flowers using Jet Black StazOn ink and coloured the flowers and leaves using Real Red, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers.

I then placed a strip of Real Red cardstock behind the white panel before mounting it onto a Basic Black cardbase.

It's difficult to see in the pictures, but I also stamped an image from the Falling Flowers set onto the cardbase using Versamark.

I really like how this card turned out and will be making a few more in different colours!

I'd love to hear from you so please leave a comment below.  Don't forget to check out the rest of the blog hop.  The full lineup is just below.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Valerie Moody

It's Crazy Crafters Blog Hop time again and today we are
CASE-ing (Copy And Selectively Edit) a project made by the very creative Valerie Moody. 

I'm sure you've seen some fantastic projects already as part of this hop so make sure you check out the rest of the lineup below.

I found it really hard to decide which project to CASE today as Valerie has so many amazing projects.  This is the card that inspired me most though.

   
I really wanted to try out the technique that Valerie used to make this card.  It's so simple and looks lovely!

To make my card, I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped my Soft Sky ink pad directly onto it.  I then stamped an image from the gorgeous Beautiful You stamp set over the top of the background.

 
I used a greeting from the same stamp set and then layered the card front onto So Saffron and Smoky Slate cardstock.

This card was so easy and fun to make and I'll definitely be using this technique more often. 

I hope you have enjoyed todays card.  Please take some time to check out the rest of the lineup below.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Sandi MacIver

Welcome to another Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. Today we are CASE-ing (Copy And Selectively Edit) Sandi MacIver and she is hopping along with us!

We hope that you have fun following along with the hop.  There are so many amazing projects to enjoy.  Make sure you check out the full lineup below.

There are so many inspiring projects over on Sandi's page but my inspiration came from this card.  Isn't it gorgeous!

I love the colours that Sandi used and initially I started to design a card using these colours, but this is what I ended up creating.  Something totally different inspired by the layout of Sandi's card.

The background was created using Pacific Point cardstock and the Confetti embossing folder and I used the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut out two different sized ovals, one in Emerald Envy and the other in Whisper White.

The birthday greeting was stamped in Pacific Point, Emerald Envy and Tangerine Tango ink, using stamps from the Cake Crazy stamp set.  I also added some matching stars from the Brights and 2016-2018 In Colour Enamel Shapes.

I used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach both the oval die cuts to the background and then adhered this to a Whisper White card base.
 
I hope you have enjoyed stopping by.  I should add that the colour inspiration for this card came from Case This Card #CTC018 Colour Challenge which I've also entered this card into.

Please make sure you check out the rest of the lineup below.  I’d love to hear from you too so please leave a comment!
