Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Heart & Home

 Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Design Team Blog Hop.

I'm Denita, from Australia - you may be starting with me, or have hopped from Yvonne from The Netherlands.

It's the 3rd Sunday in the month of January, and our creations follow our theme; 'Heart & Home' The Design Team have created some wonderful 'Heart & Home' themed creations for this month and we hope you are inspired.

I have created a couple of cards, and I have used some comforting elements as my 'Heart & Home' theme; Crochet and patchwork. 

Memories of a handmade crocheted or patchwork blanket came to mind, and if you are lucky enough to have received one, or both! you know what I'm talking about...

I started out using the 'Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder' and 'Floral Delight 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper' for my first card.

Using a 'Blending Brush' I added some 'Crumb Cake' ink to the crochet pattern of the embossed cardstock to give some depth and created a *herringbone style pattern with the DSP for a patchwork-type element.

*DSP pieces measure 1/2" x 1-1/2"

Sentiment: 'Humble Home' stamp set

Dies: 'Spotlight on Nature' & 'Country Flowers'

Details: 'Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon' & 'Gold Twisted Thread'

Card measures: 4-1/4" x 4-7/8" or 11.5cm x 12.5cm

My second card came about by embossing the 'Floral Delight' Designer Series Paper using the 'Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder'.

The patterns from the embossing folder created some lovely details on the DSP.

Sentiment: "Cheerful Daisies' stamp set

Dies: 'Spotlight on Nature' & 'Country Flowers'

Details: Fussy cutting the individual crochet squares to create a crochet-style blanket for the card front.

This was so fun to create and such a cute creation (if I do say so myself).

'Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon'

Card measures 4-3/8" x 4-3/8" or 11.2cm x 11.2cm

Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - Celebrate Sale-a-bration

 It's the first Sunday in the month of January 2025, which means it's Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop time!

Thankyou for joining me from Kathy in the USA, or you may have started right here. Our theme this month is 'Celebrate Sale-A-Bration' - the most fabulous time of the year!

Get ready for some inspirational NEW projects using Sale-A-Bration products as you hop with the rest of the talented Design Team at the bottom of my post.

I absolutely adore the *'Friendly Seagulls' stamp set, and I have combined it with the *'Starstruck Embossing Folder'.

*Sale-A-Bration Catalogue starting 7th January, 2025.

How cute is this little guy stealing hot chips?

The images of the seagulls allow you to colour them with whatever tools you like.

I have used 'Stampin' Blends Markers' to colour the Seagull and chips box.

I have used 'Daffodil Delight' & 'Coastal Cabana' ink with 'Blending Brushes' to colour the background element.

The background element was created using Retired 'Deckled Circles Dies' - you can use whatever dies or punches you have in your stash.

The little background birds are stamped using 'Smoky Slate' ink.

Background: SAB 'Starstruck Embossing Folder'

Sentiment: Stamped using 'Tuxedo Black Memento Ink' and

'HOT'; letters from the 'Mini Alphabet Dies' using 'Daffodil Delight' cardstock.

Circle element: 'Gold Twisted Thread' looped behind the circle element for some added texture.

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope you enjoyed my creation?

Next up is Teri and her lovely Sale-a-bration project (scroll down).

Looking forward to seeing you next month. D x
