Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges - Theme Challenge #006

Posted by Denita Wright-Smee | on

21:00

It's time for the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges 'Theme' Challenge #006
Please join in and show us your 'Fancy Fold' creations. You can add your project to the gallery here.

I really have created a 'Fancy Fold' card. A creation that I don't normally make, however, that's what a Challenge is all about.

I have created a 'Wiper card'.

Yep, a Wiper card. I had never heard of a Wiper card either, until I typed in the

Pinterest Search bar 'Fancy Fold cards'.

And you're probably wondering what it is you are looking at besides a

'Gold Glimmer Happy Birthday' sitting on a card front?

And, open. Ta-da!

I guess you are still wondering what on earth I have created? It's just an extension with the cutest *'Party Panda' holding an envelope and bunch of balloons!

*'Party Pandas' stamp set is FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a $90AUD purchase, available Jan 3rd, 2018.

This is how the card sits when open.

I just love that element of surprise with the Panda popping up.

I want to show you a little trick. I used the 'Spooky Nights' DSP for my background. The large spots are 'Very Vanilla', however, I coloured the spots using my Dark 'Pink Pirouette' Stampin' Blend Marker which made the spots look like 'Powder Pink'! You're welcome.

Oh, this little guy deserves a close up before I show you the 'Fancy Fold' card in a video...

And that my friends is a Wiper card.

I found so many tutorials on Pinterest, however, this photo step-by-step & video by Beate Johns was the best to explain and make. Click here to visit Beate's tutorial.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and make sure you check out the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Design Teams creations too. Have a great day. D xox

Without further ado, here are my last 4 samples.

'Hip hop hooray!'

My 'Sweet Little Something' bunny for a little boy.

Such a sweet bunny!

And a matching Gift bag.

All tied up with the NEW 'Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon'!

'Sweet Little somebunny'

And the 'Powder Pink' version, which I have blogged before.

Next on the hop is Stesha.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Beachy Little Christmas

Posted by Denita Wright-Smee | on

20:00

It's the 'Stamping Sunday' Blog Hop, and I love that I am sharing with you my creations using 'Beachy Little Christmas' for Christmas in Australia or wherever you celebrate without snow.

I have made a couple of Christmas creations, and a couple that are not so Chrismassy. I love the versatility of this gorgeous set.

A 'Champagne Foil' wreath, sea shells and pearls.

A little detail: 'Stampin' Blends' to colour my shells, and a couple of vellum flourishes.

I coloured the crab, and found a place for him inside the card.

A 'Stampin' Blends' coloured Christmas tree. I loved colouring this one.

Some 'Burlap Ribbon' and a little strip of 'Gold Mini Sequin Trim'.

And a little stamped feature from the 'Seaside Shore' stamp set.

Added to a waterwashed background using 'Daffodil Delight', 'Bermuda Bay' & 'Pool Party' ink and an 'Aqua Painter'.

So, when you stamp your sentiment and it leaves a 'halo' on your creation - you find a tiny star from the 'Hearts & Stars Elements' and stick it right there!

And my not so Christmassy creations.
A 'Happy Birthday' gift tag coloured using all sorts of 'Stampin' Blends'.

And this little Gift tag coloured using 'Watercolor Pencils' and a 'Blender Pen'.

Thankyou for being here, and I hope you enjoyed my creations as much as I enjoyed creating them!
The links for my fellow Stamping Sunday Blog Hoppers are below, and I know I can't wait to see what these gorgeous girls have created.
Have a wonderful Sunday. D x

Cuteness!
