Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - Special Guest Bibi Cameron

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This month we are excited to have a special guest join us Bibi Cameron from Scotland! Now even better we get to CASE a project and hop along with Bibi herself! Woo Hoo! We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. The full blog lineup below will help you move along to see all the projects. This is a blog hop you will not want to miss out on!

My inspiration came from a cute and simple set of cards that Bibi created with one of this years saleabration sets. Have you found it challenging sometimes to use little single stamps?? This is such a clever idea to help you create a 'bigger picture'.

There is so much to love about Bibi's creations. I love her skills, her variety in creating off the page and home decor ideas. She is amazingly talented and I choose a stamp set that describes her perfectly "Awesomely Artistic". I love the ombre look of the images on her cards so I have re-created it with the Dragonfly stamp in Awesome Artistic (pg 144 annual catalogue).

Awesomely Artistic Gift Bag

Todays project is a little goodie bag I made for a friend (I didnt eat all the chocolates this time!).
I was inspired to decorate this bag after attending my best friends son's christening. She had decorated these 'Petite Cafe Gift Bags' in a nautical theme - they looked fab!

I simply stamped 'whilly nilly' (yes that a new technique now!) the eclectic images from 'Awesomely Artistic' in Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Crumb cake inks. I covered the mini clothespen with some Washi tape. The one in the photo is the exclusive washi from 'Watercolor Wishes Card Kit' but there are soooo many diffferent ones that you could use.

 The clothespen and Sequin trim are my favourite pieces on this project! The just make everything else stand out.

Awesomely Artistic with Dragoflies for #GDP009

I always love that feeling when you get go to use a BRAND new stamp set! I love this set - Awesomely Artistic - describes perfectly how I was feeling when I was busy cutting up all the pieces for this card.  I did get some inspiration and CASE's some of the design elements from Mary Brown on Pinterest.

I was inspired by the Colour Challenge over at the Global Design Project with challenge #GDP009

This card was super quick and easy to create, using lots of the stamps in Awesomely Artistic you could create all kinds of scenes. Together with ones of the coordinating labels from Projects Life Cards & Label Framelit dies, I quickly created the sentiment and raised it on some dimensionals. 

Aren't these dragonflies just adorable??

Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Whisper White Thick Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Background Strips - 1/2" wide x width of card
• Mint Macaron Frame -  3-3/8" x 5-1/8" 
• Whisper White Panel - 3-1/4" x 5"
