Crafty Challenge Blog Hop Feb 2022 Sketch

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today features the monthly Crafty Challenge, where the team creates projects using the below sketch.

 


I have not played with the Catching Butterflies Sale-A-Bration set and thought it would be a good card to make for my granddaughters birthday. Additionally, I've been meaning to play with the Decorative Masks I purchased a few weeks ago and decided to use the blending brushes to make my own background. I absolutely love how it turned out. I'm definitely using these masks on more cards.  


I used circles for my elements and moved the lower circle on the sketch to the upper right. I used ribbon for the piece across the lower middle of the card. This is what I love about sketches, you can copy exactly or modify for the products your using.

Share it Sunday Blog Hop

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today features the 'monthly Share It Sunday' projects where the team shares any project that have been working on

Here's another card using the mirror image technique. This card is using the Driving By Sale-a-Bration VW Bug image. The image on the left is the original image, the image on the right was created by stamping the image on a craft mat and flipping the card stock over to rub the image onto the card. I used the Stamparatus to keep everything lined up, you don't even move the rubber stamp. 

I know several people that own a VW bug that this card will work perfectly to send.

#DOswts381 Pinwheel Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. The DO Stamper Stars is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today features a Pinwheel Inspiration Hop. The DO Stamper Stars are having a monthly challenge with the Chinese New Year as the theme. Did you know that it is tradition that artists construct extravagant pinwheels with multiple colors for the Chinese New Year? Additionally, around the outer blades of these pinwheels the Chinese artists place handwritten messages focusing on long life, good health, wealth or luck. How fun to receive a pinwheel. 

There are lots of creators who create Pinwheel cards, some are the actual 3D looking pin wheel, but many are a hybrid, flatter version that makes it easier to mail. If you Google Pinwheel card, you will see lots of video tutorials. 

I have not used the the Friendly Hello Designer Series paper that is included with the Friendly Hello Stamp set, free with purchase of $100 or more during Sale-A-Bration. I decided to use the front & back of one of the paper designs to create this pin wheel. 

Making the pin wheel turned out to be easier than I thought it would. Seeing a video demo really helps!
