Blog Hop Challenge Sketch Stampers Anonymous Technique Whale Done

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #24: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie November 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our November Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here is the challenge…

I love a good sketch challenge and when I saw this sketch I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card. Of course, this meant I had to use the Whale of a Time suite because…well, I love everything about it! As well as adding sequins to my shaker, I also cut out some of the smaller images from the Whale of a Time paper and added these too, to add a little more interest.

For those of you who also follow me on Facebook, you may have noticed I had a *teeny tiny* issue while making this card. I added all the foam adhesive strips to my cardstock BEFORE adding the window sheet. Oh boy! Fortunately, I was able to remove the adhesive from the circle area without destroying the cardstock. Phew!

Here’s my card…

Here’s a close up of the shaker section…

It was such a fun card to make! Okay, let’s go see what everyone else has been making.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #23: Colour Challenge

by Kylie October 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for October’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. Our challenge was to use Pretty Peacock, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry (all must be used) on a card. We were also permitted to use Basic Black, Whisper White, Very Vanilla and/or Crumb Cake.

Here is the challenge…

Here’s my card…

Let me say from the outset, this was a huge challenge for me! I rarely use these colours and would probably never have thought to use all three together. And, this is one of the reasons I *love* our monthly challenges. It can be so easy to stick with the colours, stamps, designs, etc that you are used to but with prompts like this, we step outside of the familiar. It can be liberating!

I ended up using the Love of Leaves Stamp Set, the coordinating Stitched Leaves dies (available as a bundle for a 10% discount) and the Ornate Frames dies.

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for September’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here is the Sketch…

Here’s my card…

This was such a fun challenge. I knew immediately I was going to use items from the Playful Pets suite. This suite is so fun and it offers something for both the dog lover and the cat lover. I decided to make a very simple card – mostly black and white but with small pops of colour. You could easily substitute the dog image for one of the card images. If you don’t like to colour, you could always cut out the dog images for the coordinating patterned paper.

Blog Hop Challenge Ornate Style Pattern Play Peaceful Moments Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #21: Colour Challenge

by Kylie August 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for August’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. For this challenge, we were challenged to use at least two of the new In Colours. We were also allowed to team them with any other colours from the Stampin’ Up! colour families.

Here are the In Colours…

Here’s my card…

This card came about a little bit by accident. I had been playing around with lots of different colour combinations as I was thinking of making a really bright and colourful card. I then decided I might use a bleach technique for my card. I stamped and embossed in white, the floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set on Misty Moonlight cardstock. It looked so lovely so I thought instead of using bleach I might just add a highlight of white in the centre of the flowers. Well, I got a little heavy-handed and the next thing I know I had covered the whole panel. I loved the look! It kind of looks like an acid wash denim in real life. It’s so pretty (much prettier in real life)! Of course, I still had to add another colour in order to meet the terms of the challenge so some pretty hearts from the Pattern Play stamp set were the choice. I did stamp off the Magenta Madness ink a couple of times as I didn’t want it to overwhelm the sentiment (from the Peaceful Moments stamp set).

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for July’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sketch…

Here’s my card…

My card features papers from the gorgeous Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper pack. Of course, I had to make things a little more complicated for myself as I decided to fussy cut out the floral images and adhere them to Whisper White cardstock. I thought the red background of this particular paper was just a little too much for my design.

I also used the fantastic new Foam Adhesive Sheets to pop up my die cut sentiment (from the Well Written Die Set). All you need to do is apply the sheets to your paper, add the die-cut and run it through your die-cutting machine. Makes it SO easy to get that extra bit of dimension for your sentiments.

My other big tip of the day is when using Vellum in the Dainty Diamond Embossing Folder also add a sheet of cardstock. Otherwise, the vellum gets stuck in the folder and will tear when you try to remove it.

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us again this month. The theme for May’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I used some brand new items which I know you are all going to love as much I do. I’ve used part of a sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set, new paper from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper, dies from the Tastelful Labels set as well as the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, and finally, some of the new ribbons from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack. So pretty! Oh, and could you tell the base card is one of the new In Colours? It’s called Misty Moonlight and I think it is going to be a favourite of mine.

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 love a good colour challenge but boy, sometimes I find them to be so difficult. This one was one of those extra challenging colour combos. We had to use Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Smoky Slate. They are gorgeous colours but I did have trouble making them work together.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I used the really pretty Beautifully Braided stamp set. I realise the ginkgo leaves are supposed be green but I really love it in Melon Mambo. For me, I found the easiest way to use the three colours was to use a lot of white space.

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

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 16: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie March 14, 2020

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!

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 15: Colour Challenge

by Kylie February 14, 2020

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.

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 14: Mini Catalogue Products

by Kylie January 14, 2020

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 Mini Catalogue Products. We could use any of the items from the recently released January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue.

Here’s our Challenge…

The only challenging thing about this particular challenge is picking which of the many wonderful items to use. The catalogue is filled to the brim with awesomeness. In the end, I decided to go with the Beautifully Braided stamp set. I repeatedly stamped the image over a piece of Shimmery White cardstock. I would have used Watercolour paper but I couldn’t find mine. I do find the Shimmery White cardstock is not too bad for basic watercolouring. I used the Watercolour Pencils to colour the image and then used my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends marker to fill in the background.

The design of the cards is one I actually do quite frequently but hadn’t done so in a while. I was recently inspired to return to it after seeing some cards by Yana Smakula. Yana isn’t a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator but she is an amazingly talented cardmaker.

Here’s my first card…

I decided I needed to replicate this card but this time I didn’t fill in the background.

Here’s my second card…

Do you have a preference? I think I am currently favouring the white background but really…I like the both.
