Tic Tac Toe with Mossy Meadow Squares for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

 Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is a Tic Tac Toe.

I have created a simple card using lots of 1" squares, cut from cardstock and DSP.
Here's the challenge picture
I choose to use the far right column. Dry embossing with Sunflowers, using Mossy Meadow cardstock and Mossy Meadow DSP from BOHO vibes.
It took a bit of time to line up all the squares so that it was even and straight. Looks pretty good I reackon.

Scrappy strips of Hobby Haven

You guessed it! I must admit I went a little nuts with this design, but its such a fun technique I had to keep going. I'm so sad to see Hobby Haven DSP going, its been one of my favourites to play with. I have made a tonne more scrappy cards! I love them all, these will soon be out in the post to family and friends all over.

Who doesn't love a pot plant card?
How about books?
I know someone (Mum) who will love this sewing card
or this one...
...more books
and a mis-mash!

HELLO Celebratory Sips DSP - Scrappy strips card

Today I'm sharing some more cards I made using scraps of DSP.  Simply cut your scraps down to wedges of similar size and start gluing them to a white base!

Here's a vertical and horizontal version.
I really like the variations in colour schemes
The main colour here is my favourite InColour, Secret Sea paired with Delightful Daffodil & Pumpkin Pie..
... and Timid Tiger with Bubble Bath and Old Olive
Just add another scrappy strip to the inside to complete your card.

Scrappy Strips with Simply Beautiful

Today I'm sharing some cards I have made with some scraps left over from my retiring DSP packs. I usually like to make a whole bunch and midway thru the year I'll send a heap out to family and friends that I haven't caught up with for a while. 

I have made these SUNRAY cards using various strips that I cut into wedges (triangles) of similar width.
To hide the edge where they all gather, I added some pretty coordinating ribbon from my stash. It finishes it off nicely and neatly. 
A simple and easy way to use those last niggly little pieces of paper and ribbons!

Customer Thank you cards with Kintsugi Inspirations Suite

Today I'm sharing some customer thank you cards I made recently. I really love the simple design and layout. 

As you can see I had a few thank you cards to hand out!
The great thing about this type od design is that you can lay any 2 strips of designer paper and it will always look great when taken from the same paper pack. I stamped 'Thanks' in Misty Moonlight ink onto Cloud Cover cardstock.  I also stamped and die cut the precious tea bowl in Petal Pink.
Some inside stamping... of course!
This bundle is still up for grabs in the Last Chance section -  the stamps and dies and heavily discounted too! Check it out here https://www.stampinup.com.au/shop-products/product-suites/kintsugi-inspirations

Black, White and Bright Balloon Festoon for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Black, White and Bright! How fun right? I have created a fun Balloon card using the newly released Balloon Festoon Bundle.

I've chosen to use BLACK and WHITE as per the blog theme and added Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Granny Apple Green for the BRIGHT component. I love the combination!
Here's the challenge picture
Lets take a closer look at this card. I started by die cutting lots of different sized balloons - x3 size, in the various colours. 
The white background panel is embossed with Hearts of Love Embossing Folder, adds a cute touch.
Then I began to arrange and glue the balloons starting with those most in the foreground and worked my way up the layers to the largest of die cuts.  I added some white light spots to some and used dimenstionals on the top most balloons for added dimension. 
For the inside a couple of 'leftover' pieces were glued in. 
I love this set. I was really surprised at how BIG the largest Balloon dies are - they're huge!
Be sure to continue on the hop below!
