Social Stamping with Rebecca

During these crazy times of home isolation and social distancing, my gorgeous friend, Kelly Kent from My Papercraft Journey, decided to create a blog hop to keep in touch with our crafty friends.

Our theme is hello. So hi there, my friends!!

I love doing the Mojo Monday sketches, so I thought I would have look and see what they had going. They actually have three great sketches going at the moment.

I was really taken with the one in the middle, #mojosketch534. Here’s a close up.

I love the Best Dressed DSP stack. Every sheet is just so pretty!! I do like the colourful florals. So I went with the pink floral and the Old Olive sheet with white dots. I cut them out using the square die from the Stitched Shapes framelits and layered it with a piece of Old Olive cardstock.

I then had a look for a fun sentiment through my Annual Catalogue stamp sets. Do you get like me and kinda forget about those ones, in the excitement of the Mini catalogues? I decided to use the Stitched All Around stamp set, which actually is the matching set to the Stitched Shapes framelits. I stamped the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick and cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Are you getting the feeling that I like the stitched dies? You would be right!!

Did you notice the Lovely Lipstick ribbon? We don’t actually have a Lovely Lipstick ribbon but we do have Silver Metallic-edge ribbon in white and I’ve coloured it using the dark Lovely Lipstick blend. It’s a clever way to get a ribbon in the colour you need!

Next up is the lovely Siobhan. I can’t wait to see what amazing creations she has come up with.

You can also see a list of all the blogs participating in the hop at Kelly’s blog, here.

CTC196 – Santa’s Workshop

Posted in CTC Blog Hop, Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits die, Peaceful Poinsettia, Stitched Shapes framelits by Rebecca S

ctc_header

I had my stamp class yesterday and it’s always nice to catch up with everyone. It’s just lovely to get together with others who love the same thing as you do and craft together. I hope you have a regular group that you can do that with.

I always love to get together with my online friends as well every Sunday night and share our crafting projects with you. This week at Caseing the Catty, we are casing the Santa’s Workshop section, pages 18-27 of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.

Aren’t all those little Santa’s cute! I am doing a different card today though, and have cased the card on page 23 using the Peaceful Poinsettia bundle.

ctc196-bec-b

My card is fairly similar to the original but I’ve used the Dashing Along DSP that you can earn for free this month with a workshop of over $400 in sales.

I added gold foil along the sides of the DSP. I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and then cut it out using the largest Oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits. I then cut out a few of the flowers and holly in different colours from the Detailed Poinsettia thinlits. I coloured the holly using Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends.

Next up is the lovely Monique.

Make sure you share your project with us over on at our Facebook Group.

And if you are interested, it’s only 46 days until I depart for Orlando!! OMG, I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!

Posted in Classic Label punch, Colour INKspiration, Layering Square framelits, Postcard Pals, Stitched Shapes framelits, Subtle embossing folder by Rebecca S

It’s always fun playing with colour at Colour Inkspiration! This week, we are playing with the new Brights collection.

ci37

Aren’t they all lovely colours! Now, don’t be like me and grab a colour that used to be in the brights to create your card! At least I’m ahead for the Regals challenge in September!!

So our challenge this week is to create a card using 3 of these gorgeous colours. You can add any of the basics as well. Oh and bling, if you want it.

I have been loving all the samples I’ve seen of the Postcard Pals set. I don’t normally go for such a detailed stamp but I just love those cute animals!

Now I did introduce a couple of neutrals to colour in the squirrel (whose name is George, btw) but I think you’ll forgive me. The base of the card is Coastal Cabana. The next layer is Daffodil Delight which I’ve embossed using the Subtle embossing folder. I just love the gentle distressed look of this folder.

George is coloured with lots of Stampin blends. For his body, I’ve used Crumb Cake, with Ivory for his cheeks. His shirt is Bermuda Bay and the letter box is Soft Suede with a touch of Poppy Parade for the flower. Then a little bit of Granny Apple Green for the grass.

I created a frame in Bermuda Bay using my favourite Stitched Shape framelits and the layering square framelits. The sentiment is from the Postcard Pals set as well.

Isn’t George cute!!

Next up is Nikki, I can’t wait to see what she has created.

Happy Stamping

CTC182 – Tea Room

Posted in Botanical Bliss, Botanical Bliss thinlits, CTC Blog Hop, Stitched Shapes framelits by Rebecca S

Well I’ve had an exciting week visiting China with my sister. We had a great time visiting the Great Wall, the Beijing Zoo, Shaolin Temple and the Yellow River.

So I’ve unpacked, washed and had a great sleep and am ready to jump into the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue.

I wasn’t going to join in the hop this week as I wasn’t sure I’d be able to have time to create a card. But my new catalogue order arrived whilst I was away and when I opened up the box, I just had to join in!! So many exciting new goodies to play with!!

So this week, we are casing the Tea Room section, pages 13-25 of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue.

I decided to case the card on page 20 using the Botanical Bliss Bundle. Did you know that you save 10% when you purchase a bundle.

ctc182-bec-b

This bundle is just so lovely! I can’t wait to play more with them. I pretty much cased the card as is. I used the gorgeous Share What You Specialty DSP. For the background, I used the new Soft Sea Foam cardstock and stamped the flower from the Botanical Bliss stamp set.

The roses and flowers come from the Botanical Tags thinlits. You can use these dies as a tag or there is an additional die that allows you cut the flower out completely.

I used copper embossing powder on the oval and Tranquil Tide for the sentiment. I used copper foil for the leaves in the background and added a little bit of copper metallic thread.

Next up is my lovely friend, Mel.

You can also join us at our Facebook Group and share your creations with us.

I hope you enjoy our hop this week, make sure you leave a comment and let me know!
