DOILY BIRTHDAY - STAMPIN' UP! ARTISAN BLOG HOP

Hello and welcome to February's Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop. It's such an honour to be part of this amazing team of talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world and we look forward to sharing and inspiring you with our creations. This month we are featuring the Dear Doily and Well Said Bundles. I've combined both these bundles to create three very sparkly birthday cards!   The Doily Builder Thinlits Dies are so much fun to use, and work perfectly with the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets - just peel away the backing, attach to the back of the Gold Glimmer Paper, place the die on top and run it through the Big Shot using Precision Base Plate, peel off the other backing and voilà a sticky doily!   How cute is the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder? It's so delicate and pretty and makes a stunning background.    This is the largest doily in the selection, and makes a pretty statement on its own. The R...

BUTTERFLY GALA SOUTH PACIFIC BLOG HOP

Today I'm excited to be hopping with the Australian girls from the Artisan Design Team. We are having a South Pacific Blog Hop and are showcasing projects from the Gingham Gala suite. The gorgeous projects my talented friends have created will totally inspire you!    There are five light, fresh colours in classic gingham checks in the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper - Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. As I wanted to use all the colours these little 7.6cm x 7.6cm (3" x 3") note cards seemed a great way to do it!     The butterflies from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set have been white embossed onto vellum paper and punched out with the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch.   I've layered them onto a square of Shimmery White Cardstock that has been watercoloured with the co-ordinating ink and cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I also splattered from Champagne Mist Shimmer Pain...
