Coast to Coast Creators Hop: Gratitude

    Fourteen of the month so you know what that means! It's team blog and Insta hop day! This month we are sharing projects created around the idea of Gratitude as we have just celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada.

I went down to my craft room with the inspiration to use two of the preorder items from the November Online exclusives release.  I had recently received both the Gold Twisted Thread and the Brushed Silver and Gold Specialty Foil.

I then remembered I had saved a design I'd seen on Instagram with a circle and some gold. Thanks to @vickiboucher for furthering my inspiration and leading me to grab my Brushed Gold Cards and Envelopes.

Next I added the idea of this beautiful Grateful script for the Iconic Imagery stamp set. I had the black die cut circle on my desk and decided that would look striking with the gold and so out came the white embossing powder. I layered this on the brushed gold specialty paper also die cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies.

After that I knew I wanted to keep it really simple and just looked through my sets for a couple of stunning dies to tuck behind the circles. I used both Thoughtful Wishes Dies as well as Flowers of Beauty Dies to layer behind the focal point. I cut the dies in multiple pieces so that I could layer them with the bits I wanted showing and avoid having the majority of the die hidden behind the circles. 

Last but not least was the addition of a smattering of gold gems from the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. I'm really smitten with the final look and will make a few more to use up the rest of my Brushed Gold Cards.

I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. Be sure to hop around and check them all out!

Coast to Coast Creators Hop: Sept - Dec Mini!

   Fourteen of the month so you know what that means! It's team blog and Insta hop day! This month we are sharing our favourites from the holiday mini.  Honestly every bundle I have bought is amazing so I chose to showcase this design from the Snowy Scenes Suite as it was on the top of my desk! 🤣

Here is my design:

There are SO many fun elements to this suite and I tried to capture several of them in this card.  This design is on the simpler side as it was be one of four cards I'm offering at a friend's upcoming crop fundraiser. (I'll share a few more avid crafter designs below)

I knew I wanted to incorporate the adorable snow globe scenes in the DSP as well as this cute plaid pattern. There are lots of scenes to choose from and my registrants will get to choose the one they like. It is a bit of fussy cutting but pretty simple lines to follow. The ribbon ties in nicely (no pun intended) although it is not part of the suite (it is part of the current online products). I layered the snow globe on a couple of deckled circle dies and stamped with some great small images in the set using Pool Party.

Next, I knew I wanted to incorporate the idea of falling snow and added an embossed layer of Basic White using the Snowflake Sky 3D folder which carried over from last year. Pulling in more of the Real Red tone, I embossed this awesome greeting in White on a banner die cut created from the Nested Essentials Dies.

It's a super sweet card that will give the participants a taste of several different techniques as well as all of these amazing products!

Here are a couple of other designs I did which are based off the catty samples. They utilize all tons of the stamps and dies in the bundle and were so fun to make! You definitely want this suite of products in your stash!

I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. Be sure to hop around and check them all out!
