Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 10: Holiday Catalogue Products

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is Holiday Catalogue Products! We were challenged to create a card using items from the new Holiday Catalogue. Have you guys seen it yet? So many awesome products.

Here’s the Challenge…

I was immediately drawn to using the Boo To You stamp set. Whilst we don’t really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, I LOVE all the monsters and Halloween icons. I also love all the Halloween colours. I thought the Boo To You stamp set would be fun for a birthday card so that’s the direction I went with this challenge. I also HAD to use Googly Eyes (also new in the Holiday Catalogue) on my monster. They add a really fun element to any critter.

Here’s my card…

You might have come here from Marelle Taylor’s blog.

Blog Hop Stampers Anonymous Wildly Happy

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 9: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge! We were challenged to create a card using up to five (5) colours from the following colours: Grapefruit Grove, Mint Macaron, Saraha Sand, Balmy Blue and Basic Gray.

Here’s the Challenge…

Funnily enough, I actually struggle a little bit with colour challenges. I think it is because I generally have to work with colours outside my “go-to” colours. Before I began creating, I pulled out all the challenge colours ink pads and then a sheet of each colour from their respective Designer Series Paper packs. I wanted to see how they would all work together. In the end, I decided to work with Basic Gray (a great neutral) and Balmy Blue with a touch of Sahara Sand. The super cute pandas from the Wildly Happy set were crying out to be used so they were a perfect choice for this challenge.

Instead of using my Stampin’ Blends, I watercoloured the image instead. I used a combination of colouring with my markers on to an acrylic block and then picking up the colour to paint and squishing a little ink from the ink pad onto an acrylic block and then picking up the colour. I didn’t use watercolour paper, just regular paper and my biggest tip here is not to over-wet the paper as it will pill. Blending is also a little more difficult as the water soaks straight into the paper. I try and build up my colour to avoid this issue.

My other big tip is that White Bakers Twine is a perfect item to keep in your stash as it can be dyed any colour to suit your project. The easiest way to dye the twine is to get a cup with a bit of water and add a drop of refill to it. Drop the twine in and ensure it is covered. Swish it around and pull it out. Hang it out to dry. If you don’t have a refill, you can still dye your twine. I actually just used a large acrylic block and pressed the Balmy Blue ink pad into the centre. I dropped out some water (be careful not to flood the block) and then swished it around before adding my twine. It worked really well.

Here’s my card…

Band Together Blog Hop Challenge Sketch Stampers Anonymous To A Wild Rose

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 8: Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge!

Here’s the Challenge…

As soon as I saw the sketch, my brain was buzzing with ideas. Should I go with patterned paper? And if so, what gorgeous one? Or a Memories & More Card Pack? There are some gorgeous designs in those packs. Or should I stamp a background? That’s what finally won. I used the To A Wild Rose stamp set for the majority of the stamping, except for the sentiment which was from the Band Together stamp set.

Here’s my card…

This sketch is a fantastic design and could be used in so many different ways. I hope you’ll give it a try.

Blog Hop Challenge First Frost Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 7: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge! The Challenge was to use the three of the new 2019-202 In Colours – Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Rococo Rose.

Here’s the Challenge…

To be quite honest, I found this challenge to be quite difficult. One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is that everything works together so perfectly but I still struggled with this colour combination.

Blog Hop Treehouse Adventure

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 6: Retiring Items

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is Retiring Items.

For my card, I chose to use the Treehouse Adventure stamp set. When the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue was first released this was one of my favourite sets and I bought it immediately. While I have created cards using the greetings from the stamp set, and I have played around with other images in this set, I had yet to actually finish a card using the treehouse images. I couldn’t let this stamp set retire without finishing a card with a treehouse on it.

Here’s my Card…

Hi everyone, happy Blog Hop day! Today, I am playing along with my fellow Stampers Anonymous Team Members in a Sketch Challenge Blog Hop.

Here’s the Sketch…

Here’s my Card…

I’ve used the super cute Animal Outing stamp set and coordinating Animal Friends die set (available as a bundle) for my card. I used the stamps to create my own patterned paper as I thought that would be fun. It was so simple to do too.

Blog Hop Painted Seasons Sale-A-Bration Stampers Anonymous Well Written

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 4: Sale-A-Bration

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Blog Hop day! Some of the lovely ladies from the Stampers Anonymous team have joined together to participate in a fun blog hop. The theme for this Blog Hop challenge was to use any Sale-A-Bration stamp set. Now, this wasn’t too much of a challenge at all for me as I cannot seem to stop playing with all the Sale-A-Bration goodies.

I chose to feature the Painted Seasons stamp set – such a pretty set! I stamped the floral image in Melon Mambo and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. The black gingham paper is from the Botanical Butterfly DSP. You might recall a card I shared a few days ago when I made a frame in the gingham paper. I used the centre panel for the card below.

The sentiment was created with the fabulous Well Written dies. I *love* these dies! I finished off with a layer of Wink of Stella over the flowers and the sentiment.

Blog Hop Bloom By Bloom Challenge Petal Palette Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 3: Colour Challenge 1

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, Happy Valentine’s Day but more importantly – Happy Blog Hop day! Yay! I love participating in these challenges as they really help me to think outside the square. Our blog hop is a colour challenge inspired by the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack. The challenge was to use three or more colours (Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist) with Basic Black, Whisper White and/or Very Vanilla.

Here’s the Challenge…

Here’s my Card…

I chose Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and to be honest I nearly forgot the third colour. Fortunately, when I asked my friends for some advice regarding my card my sweet friend, Melissa, reminded me that I needed another colour. That’s where the dot stamp from the Bloom By Bloom stamp set came in handy as I used it to add Daffodil Delight to my centre panel.

This was such a FUN challenge! It is great to work with colours and colour combinations you aren’t usually drawn to. I’ve been so inspired that I actually have another few cards on the go using this same palette.

The only disappointing thing to share is that the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack is currently unavailable. It has been immensely popular! It’s such a pretty set of ribbon. Don’t worry though, there are still plenty of lovely options to choose as your free item during Sale-A-Bration.

I hope you loved seeing my card and that you enjoy the rest of the blog hop.

Blog Hop Challenge Incredible Like You Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 2: This or That (Incredible Like You)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, it’s Blog Hop day! Yay! I loved participating in the last Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop so couldn’t wait to join in on another one. The theme of this Blog Hop was to make a card using one of two stamp sets we received at OnStage back in November. The stamps sets are Incredible Like You or Amazing Life. These gorgeous stamp sets will be available in the Occasions 2019 catalogue coming very soon. While both stamp sets are beautiful I couldn’t wait to play with the Incredible Like You set so that is the one I chose for the Blog Hop.

Here’s my Card…

TIP: As the stamps in this set are photopolymer, you can bend them a little before adhering them to your acrylic block. This meant that I could curve the leaves a little to create a little more interest to my design.

Also, can you see the black lines? They were stamped using the lines stamp from this set. Remember you don’t always have to use the stamp as it was originally designed. I think I am going to be using this stamp a lot in this way. I love how it looks.
