Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Alison Solven


Today we are Blog Hopping with talented Alison Solven from Canada.
We had to pick a card from the great selection of cards Alison has made and CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) one of them.
I went over to Alison's blog at -  http://stampcrazy.typepad.com
and also her Pinterest page.  If you are stuck for ideas, pop on over and have a look - there are so many wonderful cards to inspire you.

The one I chose to CASE was this one:

I really liked the original stamp set and dies this is made with.

For my take on this card,I decided to use clusters of flowers in a variety of colours.  I used new colours Lovey Lipstick, Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana.

The stamp set I used was the Beautiful Bouquet with the sentiment from a couple of different sets.





I love the fresh, bright look of the finished card with plenty of white space to rest your eye.  A couple of  Share What You Love Artisan Pearls finishes it off.


I mounted it on Lovely Lipstick and Balmy Blue card but I tried several combos that all worked nicely.  This is a card you could adapt to the colours you have on hand, with a sentiment to suit any occasion.

Why don't you give it a go!!

Don't forget to check out what the other Crazy Crafters have created by jumping onto their blogs.

"Til next time
Keep creating!

    Love how you cut out " friend". It gives more depth to the design. I will try that.

      Thanks Sue. The colours were slightly accidental but give a bit of a vintage vibe, I think - not what I would usually go for!

    Oh, My, Shirley, I almost CASED this card, but I was determined to use the #loveitchopit #imnotapaperhorderanymore.

    I love your card it is so bright and crisp with the white space. I adore your decision in Stamp Set and Colour Combo.
    You CASED Alison's card perfectly.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - CASEing Jessica Taylor

This week we are CASEing Jessica Taylor - number 118 globally!!!  Wow!! Looking at her blog I can see why.  It is full of amazing information to help you get started, try new techniques and full of inspiration. There was plenty to choose from to CASE  - I was spoilt for choice but I loved the look of this collection using a retired Sale-a-bration set. I updated the look with the new Animal Outing set from the new catalogue (coming very soon!!!) This set has some very cute animal images - the only one I didn't use was the Giraffe. The Kangaroo has a little Koala in it's pouch - very cute and a nice tribute to us stampers down under!  I decided, as he had the little arm (?) sticking out, it was just right to hold a sign. I used the Petal passion paper as it has many black and white papers to choose from, and this reminded me of jungle vines. The Rhino, not often thought as a cute, is just that, especially with the ...

Kylie's Demonstrator training February Blog Hop.

Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month! We are all part of a training program that has the sole purpose of improving our Stampin' Up!® businesses and to learn from a variety of top Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. Please be sure to 'HOP' all of the way around to all of the projects on this Blog Hop, there is a list at the bottom of the page that will help you to make your way around. Today I wanted to challenge myself to try something a  bit different by showing the versatility of any stamp set - even if it only has a few images - and do three cards  with either different techniques or use the stamp in a different way.  Maybe even look at the stamps in the set and see what else I can do with them. I thought this would be a good way to show someone, that may be interested in a particular set, or trying to decide, or thinking a particular set didn't do very much, to think again and see the possibilities....

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Wendy Cranford

Welcome! This week we have another exciting blog hop with Wendy Cranford from Luvinstampin.com. I really enjoyed looking through her blog finding a project that I was going to CASE (copy and selectively edit). The project I chose was this one: I was taken with the colour blending and the use of the die cut over it. I decided to use a watercolour wash for my colour blending.  I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, and Soft Sea Foam.   The beautiful die cut is from the Lovely Flowers edgelits, which I put over the top allowing some of the watercolour wash to peek through. I finished it off with some Bermuda Bay ribbon and a sentiment form the Incredible Like You stamp set.  I love these colours but just think how many other colourways you could do this card! Give it a try! But before you do, hop on over to the next blog and see what my fellow Crazy Crafters have designed this week.
