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
