Inksomniacs blog hop

Welcome to the Inksomniacs blog hop!
Today, we are celebrating the new Seasonal catalogue and Sale-a-bration by CASEing the catalogues.
What's a CASE I hear you ask? CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.
When I'm in need of inspiration I copy a card direct from the catalogue... Just pick a page, or pick a stamp set and copy a card from that page.

I've chosen to copy the card from page 17 of the Sale-a-bration catalogue.
The stamp set is called "Amazing You!" And as I dont yet have the framelits to cut out the word celebrate I changed it a bit to just use the stampset. I kept the ribbon, fussy cut the flowers and punched the label shape. I used what supplies I had to recreate the card as best I could.

The background as you can see, is a bit different. It uses the new Brusho watercolour crystals from the Seasonal catalogue.
They are quite addictive as each time you create a background its different from every other one and I want to make more.

In the Seasonal catalogue on page 26, there are step by step directions on how to use the brusho powder. Basically, sprinkle the crystals, spritz with water and spread around with a brush.
There are so many other ways to use these coloured crystals.

I hope you've been inspired to check out the new Seasonal catalogue and take a closer look at the products you can earn, for free, during Saleabration.

Stampin Blends ESAD BLOG HOP

Welcome to Stamping Joy !
As you hop around the list of Blogs today, you will see lots of different ways to use the new Stampin' Blends.
I've chosen to show you the simplest method of colouring with the blends on Designer Series paper.
This "Just add Colour" patterned paper is perfectly designed for colouring.

I love how One sheet of paper can make 6 cards or more.
I cut the paper into pieces of 10cm x 14.5cm card fronts, and a few 2 cm x 14 cm strips.

The "Just add colour" paper has large and small flowers drawn with wide watercolour-like brushstrokes.
On my first card I mainly used Pool party, Cherry cobbler and Daffodil Delight with Old Olive for the leaves. It really is quick to colour as the pens are dual tipped with a wide brush for large areas and fine tipped ends for detail.

You can use them just like textas or coloured markers except they are so much more. When you add the lighter tone to the dark they blend and give you a smooth graduation from one colour to another. This second card I went a little over the top on the embellishments lol!

Take a look at this gorgeous Rich razzleberry "purpleness" !
I started by colouring in with the light shade, then coloured in the shadows with the darker shade.
I blended them together with the lighter shade and finished off on the centre petals with the colour lifter.

With a few of the 2" strips that I cut out of the "just add colour" page, I made book marks.
Then to add some depth I coloured in the background with the Slate Grey Stampin blend.
I think it makes the colours pop just that little bit more!

Out of one single piece of DSP I have made 3 full card fronts, 3 half panel cards and a book mark.

Thanks for stopping by, now hop on over to the next blog and dont forget to leave some comment love along the way.

Inksomniacs 2017 Holiday Catalogue Bloghop

Welcome to the very first Inksomniacs team blog hop!

Today is the first day that you can order from the new catalogue
and we have a wonderful group of blogs who are just bursting to share what they love
about all the new stamps, patterned papers and accessories with you.
Its always exciting when we celebrate the launch of a new Holiday Catalogue.

I've chosen the stampset on page 19 of the catalogue.
"Beachy Little Christmas" because its an Australian style stampset which means
no snowflakes, no santas, no snowmen and not even any reindeers.
But instead there's : Seashells, a beach house with surfboard, palm trees, and a christmas tree in a bucket, covered in sea shells and seahorses.
When stamped in basic black ink the images can be easily watercoloured.
Maybe 'cause its 3 1/2 months till Chistmas, or the beach themed images, but i decided to use colours that are not at all traditional ...
Night of Navy, Soft Sky, Pickaboo peach, Old Olive and Daffodil delight for sand.

My second card uses the tree from Beachy little Christmas and as the words suggest "who needs snowflakes when you have sea shells."
Ive mounted the image onto a mat of Merry Music DSP ( also new in the Holiday catalogue).

Lastly, I want to share a third card using "Ready for Christmas" . It has this gorgeous little Dashund image, a table and plate of biscuits, plus a matching set of framelits to cut everything out with.
Ive kept it simple with just a gold metallic doily and a piece of "Year of cheer" specialty gold patterned paper behind.

Thanks for visting Stamping Joys blog today I hope youve found some inspiration. If you havent received a holiday catalogue please send me a text 0468877125 and i will post or drop one to your door.

Ooh and dont forget to share a little comment love with each of the blogs along the way.

And now its time to hop over to Linda's blog -

ESAD 2017 Blog hop Saleabration

The new Occasions and Saleabration catalogues have been live for a few days, now.

I dont have a wish list this year .... I just want it all !!!

So what's your favourite Free Saleabration offering?

If you're even a bit like me you are trying to decide how to get the best value, the best ideas to earn those free saleabration stamping products you've seen everywhere.

Well, this blog hop is here to solve just that problem!

Maybe you've been seeing dragonflies in your dreams and you really want that "Between the lines paper" ?

Or you've seen Hot air balloons everywhere and you are wanting the "Carried away" designer series paper?

But, Where to start?

At this time of year i have a desparate need to scrapbook my accumulated photo collection so i am over the moon happy to have the "Celebrate Every day" Project life cards.

They are brightly coloured featuring: Daffodil Delight, Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder, Basic Black, Grey and White.

In September we spent a rainy afternoon walking along Bondi Beach, the photos are a bit grey and the water a stealy blue.

What better than some Brightly coloured Project life cards to make the photos pop!

I love the words and patterns and colours in this pack and it has a matching accessory pack.

Which includes a stamp set, paper clips, washi tape, epoxi stickers and silver specialty acetate cards.

Often i have too many photos so by cutting them down, i can stick 3 small pics on one 10x15cm project life card to tell a story.

And dont forget Project Life cards make quick and easy cards for all ocassions.

Heres a suggestion of how you can earn a Free Saleabration stamp set -

To make this card I've used:

2 cards from the Celebrate Every Day project life pack $28.00

Ombre ribbon and sequins from the

Cupcakes and carousells embellishment kit $21.00

Basic black archival ink pad $12.25

Daffodil Delight, Watermelon and Flirty Flamingo ink pads. $11.50 x 3

ESAD BLOGHOP! New Blackberry bliss!

Welcome to my step on the ESAD blog hop!!!!

I couldn't decide which stamp or product to feature so I have a collection of creations in the new in colour: Black Berry Bliss! - Enjoy.

My first project uses the Choose Happiness stampset. It's a lovely set for layering and collaging.

This is almost a monochrome of Blackberry bliss and white.

I just love the new ribbon and the vintage lace together. Then I've added some glimmer paper flowers. Three of them are coloured with the rich Razzleberry Blendabilities pen.

My second project is this crumb cake card with the Moonlight DSP (designer series paper) stack. Featuring blackberry bliss ribbon.

I have used the new stamp set called "Tap,Tap,Tap".

Can you see that I have coloured my image with a blender pen in Blackberry bliss ink?

The *note* stamp has a piece of patterned paper on it punched with the Banner punch.

It needed some bling I thought, so I just sparkled a few diamantes across the page...

Did you know you CAN use Blendabilities to colour your Rhinestones and buttons too?

Next project is stamped using a gorgeous new set called "Work of Art".

This idea is on Pinterest and You tube (stamp with jodi).

She uses the brush stroke stamp as a petal for this flower.

I actually like the white negative effect created in the centre of the flower, around the yellow circle.

Then the second card I've just stamped more petals cause "more is more" isn't it?

On this I just love the shadow effect of the second generation, stamped off ink around the edges.

Have you guessed - my favourite Incolour this year is Black Berry Bliss? A deep amazingly beautiful purple that can give you dark to light purples all from the one pinky-purple ink pad or marker.

Look how the gradation of colour changes by the fourth generation of stamping off on the same piece of paper. This card is stamped with the wavy lines from "Chalk lines" and the bike is from Life's adventure.
