Blog Hop Challenge Ornate Style Seriously the Best Sketch Stampers Anonymous Technique

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 16: Sketch Challenge

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 a Sketch Challenge. I love a good sketch challenge. They challenge me to think outside of my normal square, and they are also great as a starting point when the mojo goes missing.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

This card was created using the Joseph‘s Coat Technique. I hadn’t done this technique for ages and thought it would be fun to revisit. You might also notice something new in this card. I’m using a stamp from the Ornate Style stamp set. This stamp set is part of a new suite debuting in the next Annual Catalogue. It’s really pretty! I also used stamps from the Seriously the Best stamp set for the sentiment. I *love* this stamp set. I cannot stop using it!

Let’s continue on the hop…

Challenge StampingPals

StampingPals Challenge #1: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Today I am participating in the first-ever challenge through the StampingPals Challenge Blog. I developed the StampingPals Challenge blog with my friends Melissa Gifford and Jill Arenovski. I have really enjoyed participating in challenges through Stampers Anonymous and Kylie’s International Training Group. I wanted a place where other people could join in too and we could build a really fun, warm and inspirational community. I would LOVE it if you would spread the word AND play along with us!

The first StampingPals Challenge is a Colour Challenge. Our colours are Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody. We can also add Whisper White, Basic Black or Very Vanilla as our neutral.

Here’s our Challenge…

I love these colours but they are super bright. They also lend themselves to creating flowers. I grabbed my favourite Forever Blossoms and went to town colouring. I had started colouring the leaves first using the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends when I realised Melon Mambo is not currently available in the Stampin’ Blends range. Oops! No way was I going to throw away the work I had already done. I simply grabbed the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write marker, my Aqua Painter and started to paint the petals instead. It came up so well and really softened the appearance of the Melon Mambo. This is also how I dyed the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Here’s my card…

I really love this card! It is so pretty in real life. I loved this challenge and I hope you will too. Please stop by the StampingPals blog and play along with us.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Blog Hop Breathtaking Bouquet Challenge Seriously the Best Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 15: Colour Challenge

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 a Colour Challenge. We had to use Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, and Rococo Rose on our project. We could also add Whisper White, Basic Black or Very Vanilla as our neutral.

Here’s our Challenge…

When the colours were first announced I was stumped. I had absolutely no idea which way to go. While the colours themselves are all gorgeous, it isn’t a colour combination I would have chosen for myself. I guess this challenge just goes to support why I take part in them – they *challenge* you to think about things in a different way, and step out of your norm.

Here’s my card…

I have to say I am so pleased with how this card turned out. I would never have thought to combine these colours in such a way and yet, look how pretty they look together! Now, I want to try and recreate this card but use black in place of the white stamping. How cool is that?! From stumped to inspired! My big tip for creating card like this is to be aware of which colours are most dominant and likely to take over from the others. For this card, the Rococo Rose is the dominant colour so I only put a little bit down compared with the other two colours.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Beautiful Friendship Blog Hop Challenge

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 12: Colour Challenge

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 a Colour Challenge! I *loved* this challenge and I know a lot of the Stampers Anonymous ladies felt the same way. The colours are Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green and Night of Navy. If you haven’t tried this colour combination, I really recommend that you do try it. I know you will love it.

Here’s our Colour Challenge…

I was so inspired by this Colour Challenge I actually made two cards and a video showing how I created them. I used the gorgeous Beautiful Friendship stamp set. I think this set is amazing. It really enables you to create beautiful cards with very little effort. The designs are wonderful.

Here’s my first card…

Here’s my second card…

Blog Hop Challenge Leave A Little Sparkle Sketch

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 11: Sketch Challenge

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 a Sketch Challenge!

Here’s the Sketch…

I love sketch challenges. Sometimes they are super tricking but not this one, I love this design! I still had the Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set on my desk so that seemed like the logical choice to use for this challenge. I had fun water colouring the unicorn with my Stampin’ Write Markers (Brights). I love experimenting with different colours for the mane. It’s so pretty, isn’t it?!

The other aspect of this card which I really like is the vellum element. I used versamark to stamp the stars and swirls from the Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set. This was then heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. It looks so good.

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.

Animal Outing Blog Hop Challenge Sketch

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 5: Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

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.

Next on the hop is: Marelle Taylor

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.

Next on the hop is: Sharon Wilson

Here’s a list of all the participants:

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.
