Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - June

Hello again! Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products. 

This month was is a sketch challenge ... we were challenged to create a page using the sketch to the left.

I'm continuing to create and add pages to the book I'm making for my Grandma. This page is 6x8 and features the Under the Sea Designer Series papers and the Share What You Love Embellishment kit.

I love the look of the Tranquil Textures papers on this page. They add so much visual dimension to an otherwise flat page.

Ok, ready to see all the pretty scrapbook inspiration based from this sketch? Let's go! Full link up can be found below. Click on the link after my name. Thanks so much for visiting. Charlet

Abstract Impressions - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to another Stampin' Up! Artisan blog hop. This round we are featuring a fabulous new Garden Impressions Suite of products. My projects feature the Abstract Impressions stamp set, the Springtime Impressions Thinlits and the Garden Impressions Designer Series Papers

The Abstract Impressions stamp set includes multiple two-step and three-step images. I was instantly drawn to the large three-step flower. I played around with various color combinations and love the addition of gold & Grapefruit Grove on Calypso Coral.

The Springtime Impressions Thinlets include a beautiful intricate floral and butterfly designs. Both of these cards feature the large butterfly die cut.

"If flowers were hugs, I'd send you a thousand", I love this sentiment and how it is typeset in this stamp set. It might be my favorite verse from this set. I stamped this sentiment in Versamark on a sheet of the Garden Impressions Designer Series Papers and then heat set with white emboss powder. 

The large butterfly has been cut from Whisper White card stock and then layered on top of a sheet of the Garden Impressions Designer Series Papers. I love how this white butterfly literally pops of the card.

The metallic shimmer of the gold embossing looks amazing layered on these stamped flowers. I love it! So much so that I duplicated the look on a bonus card shown at the end of this post.

This butterfly card has a subtle watercolor wash in Soft Sea Foam in the background. You may notice the is the exact size as our new ink pads. Here's a cool tip to create a simple and fast watercolor background. 

1. Wet the watercolor paper
2. Use a classic ink pad as a stamp and press the pad lightly and directly onto the wet watercolor paper.
3. Blend and distribute the ink as desired with an Aqua Painter.

Check out all those sparkly little details ...  the coral faceted gem, the gold embossing, gold glimmer paper, gold thread and ribbon with golden threads woven in. It would of been hard to add any more bling.

Springtime Impressions - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge

Hello friends! Hope you had a lovely weekend. I've been busy with family, end of year stuff, and preparing for a vacation. It's been hard to fit my regular crafting in so I was happy to have a sketch to follow for this card.

Yep, you heard me. This week we have a fabulous sketch challenge for you to play along with over on the Global Design Project. Sketch challenges are the best and take all the hard work of coming up with a layout out of the picture.  

There are so many new catalog products it's hard to choose what to play with first. I'm still waiting on a big catalog order but I still have a few fun new goodies to try out. I opted to use the butterfly from the Springtime Impressions Thinlets and the fun backgrounds from the new Gallery Grunge stamp set. This card also features Soft Sea Foam, a new favorite Stampin' Up! color. Full supplies can be found below.

Check out what the Global Design Project designers have created using this sketch and be sure to play along! Thanks for stopping by. #gdp142

Abstract Impressions - TGIF Challenges - sketch week

TGIF Challenges has a great sketch challenge for you this week. My card features the Abstract Impressions stamp set and Garden Impressions papers.

Sometimes my cards work and sometimes they are less successful. This week I really liked this card until I photographed it. It's kind of different for me, lots of color and pattern. Now, upon reflection, it could of used some editing. The papers are so beautiful but compete a bit on my project. Ever had that problem? Ah well, at least the sketch is fantastic! Want to really be inspired? Check out what the designers have created with this sketch and play along! #TGIFC163
