International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - January 2018

 Hello, and welcome to my blog. 
I was one of 10 Winners from Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Blog Hop from December. 
Today, the Top 10 are hopping together and the theme is 'Flowers'.

.

OK. Flowers. From the Stampin' Up! Catalogues? 
There are so many beautiful products where flowers are concerned, and I have done something a little different...

My 'Flowers' creation.
Using my 'Stampin' Write Markers' in 'Berry Burst', 'Blushing Bride', 'Crushed Curry', 'Fresh Fig' & 'Wild Wasabi';
I have coloured the embossing side of the NEW 'Petal Pair Textured Embossing Folders' and ran it through the 'Big Shot' onto 'Whisper White' cardstock.

 I even made my card an envelope with 'Sahara Sand' cardstock, and using the same 'Petal Pair TIEF' embossed the opening. 
There is some stamping - I used the dots from the 'Petal Palette' stamp set, and 'Sahara Sand' ink. 
And how adorable is the mini tag (Coffee Cups Framelits Dies), heart (Cookie Cutter Builder Punch) and 'Linen Thread'? Adorable!

I fussy cut the embossed flowers. I then adhered the 'Whisper White' onto 'Basic Black' cardstock and fussy cut again.
I know, I know. A lot of fussy cutting. But how awesome is this technique? I really don't know what it's called, so let's go with 'Colour your TIEF and run it through the Big Shot'. 

A little bit of a Boomerang 😃

WWYS #150 - Pieces & Patterns

Today, I am a Guest Designer for the WWYS #150. 

I was fortunate enough to win the WWYS #147 using 'Beachy Little Christmas' stamp set, and you can click here to see my entry.

We are using the 'Pieces & Patterns' stamp set this week.

If you have this stamp set, we would love for you to join in with this Challenge.

 

My creation... 

'Wild about You'. As Valentine's Day approaches I thought this would make a great Valentine's Day card for a guy?

I have used the 'Pick a Pattern' DSP that is part of the 'Pick a Pattern Suite'.

I fussy cut the images from the DSP. There are some cute critters on the DSP, and I just love that bear!

 

Inside; I stamped the bear and added a little heart. 

Using the 'Cookie Cutter Builder Punch' for the heart, and I found some 'Flirty Flamingo' amongst the DSP sheets.

 

Thankyou so much for paying me a visit. And thankyou again to the WWYS Challenge Blog Design Team for having me tag along. 

Have a wonderful & creative week. D x

Colour My World - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am Denita, and I live in Australia. 

This month the Creation Station Design Team have a theme; 'Colour My World'. 
You may have hopped from Kerstin - 1 of our very brand new Design Team Members! 
Welcome to Kirsten, and welcome to you.
 

I gathered my colouring supplies - 

'Stampin' Blends Markers' and the 'Just Add Color Specialty DSP'.

 

We have an 8 year old in the house!

A nature boy who loves his stingrays, and wouldn't you know it?, Stampin' Up! have outdone themselves with a Manta Ray on the 'Just Add Color Specialty' DSP.

 

Everything is coloured with our 'Stampin' Blends Markers'.

The colours I have used: 'Bermuda Bay', 'Daffodil Delight', 'Old Olive', 'Pink Pirouette', 'Pool Party', 'Pumpkin Pie' & 'Smoky Slate'. I also used the 'Stampin' Blends Color Lifter' for all the highlights on the Manta Ray.

My tip: I use the lighter of the 2 shades first. Then I bring in the dark shade, and blend again with the light marker. When highlighting I use the 'Color Lifter'.

 

A 'Happy '8th' Birthday'. 

The number '8' - stamped onto 'Vellum' cardstock, and the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment come from 'Number of Years' stamp set.

The 'th' comes from the 'Happy Birthday Thinlits Die' - I found this idea from Holly Stene, who was inspired by Teneale Williams. 

Two awesome Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who both inspire me!

 

A very happy 8 year old.

 

This is how much we love Stingrays. These beautiful girls swim to our Harbour boat ramp waiting for the fishing boats to come in, and then they get all the fish scraps from the Fishermen. They are gentle & mesmerising to watch.

Every Sunday we visit the Harbour and there we learn about these beautiful creatures by an Ecologist from Into the Wild Nature Tours.

Sara Nell Langland is up NEXT with her gorgeous creation. Hop along and see all the inspiration from the Creation Station Design Team. 

Thankyou for visiting me. D x
