Unbridled Beauty Repeat Background Stamping - Chain Card Swap for Heather

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Heather and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 4th in the chain for this round and have created a card with this beautiful horse. The main technique here is repeat stamping with the one image and spotlighting on one with coloir.

Lets take a closer look at this card.  I stamped in new Peaceful Pine directly onto Soft Sea Foam cardstock, even the colouring with Stampin Blends looks great

A little stamping for the inside the carry the theme

Although now retired, this set and any other set would look great when highlighting an image. Give it a try!

Mini Treat Bags with Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies

 Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Treat Packaging.

I was inspired by a cute treat box I saw made by Melva Peters from Canada and CASE'd her idea using Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies to recreate my mini treat bags. 

Lets take a closer look at this project.

I made one Christmas themed and one birthday inspired - its my birthday month so I'll gift something to myself. To finish out the bag I tied some ribbon at each end of the bag. 

These would make great table gifts at Christmas time

These were so fun to make! I can see this design will come in handy for all sorts of treats or cookies!

The scallop dies will be a popular staple in my craft room

Lets Go with a Football Easel Card - Chain Card Swap for Ros

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Ros and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 10th in the chain for this round and have created this Easel card. I hope my card looks like Ros's!

Lets take a closer look at this card.

I started with stamping and cutting all the images of this set - the shirt, ball and flags. Green is my favourite cololur so to make this card POP I had to add another colour so Pumpkin Pie was it. 

This fun fold is easy to recreate, check out my tutorial below

The inside panel is still large enough for a handwritten message. 
I split the greeting so that the "biggest" is raised with foam dimensionals, this acts as a stopper, so the easel panel doesnt fall down.

This set has been a wonderful addition to my collection, especially as my own soccer season has ended it came in handy for all my thank you cards.

Gears and Textures Dies as a Background - Chain Card Swap for Danielle

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Danielle and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 2nd in the chain for this round and have created this card.

Lets take a closer look.

I started with a Darling Duckling standard card base, I then cut a whole heap of dies from Gears and Textures and glued these down to another sheet of Darling Duckling (3-7/8" x 5-5/8"). 

I then went about cutting Arch dies in 3 colours and chopped them up to mix n match them as my focal point.

Some stenciling for the inside panel - using the negative left over die cuts and blending brushes

I have made loads of cards with this bundle- I really like all the cogs and dies, a great and versatile set

Balloon Festoon Z Fold Card - Chain Card Swap for Nancy

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Nancy and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the beginning and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 6th in the chain for this round and have created a fun LARGE balloon Z fold.
Im really enjoying this die set - the dies are massive this isnt even the biggest one!

Lets take a closer look at this card. After creating the Z Fold card in portrait and decorating it with some DSP, the main feature is this very large and yellow balloon.

I didnt add a greeting as it feels obvious what its celebrating. 

The inside has the sentiment stamped with some balloons poking out of the edges, 

Such a great bundle - this set is available all year and perfect for all year round cards and projects.
