Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Change of Seasons

Hello lovelies,

I am Sharni Haines from South Australia. Welcome to our monthly Sunday Stamping Blog Hop. I have missed a few due to my recent travels overseas. But I am happy to be back, especially in time for this month's theme - Change of Seasons. It's now Spring in Australia and I have some bright and happy projects to share with you.

Just for something new, I used a card base from the Assorted Memories and More Cards & Envelopes. You get two different size cards and matching envelopes which is pretty cool. A true time saver for those busy days!

The card base measures 3 -1/2" x 5", layer one is 1/4" of an inch smaller. I embossed it with the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder then brushed over Balmy Blue Ink with a Blending Brush.

I used the Full Basket Dies to create the barrel with Crumb Cake Cardstock and added a little shading using Sift Suede Ink and a Blending Brush. You many see a few hand drawn lines on the barrel - I did these with a Soft Suede Stampin' Marker.

I added a mixture of colours to sheets of Shimmery White Cardstock and Blending Brushes, then used Meadow & Organic Beauty Dies to cut out the foliage shapes. (Colours I used are at the end of the blog).

The black dots on the flowers are Matte Black Dots. I stamped a sentiment of LOVE onto the cute little tag that is part of the Meadow Dies and tied a bow with Linen Thread.

You can watch the video HERE to see how to make this card.

My second project is a Pop UP card. I basically used the same products as the first card, just add some Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper. The rectangles were cut from Crumb Cake & Basic White Cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies.

The idea was to create a beautiful spring garden scene. I made two barrels full of flowers and colour and a little trellis in the background to help hold the growing plants.

I haven't added a sentiment to this card yet, as I am still deciding, but I am happy with the bright, cherry and spring feel this cards gives.

For those interested, I have made a tutorial how to create this card. It is actually from one of my designs I created 2 years ago (when The Dimensional Team were still making 3D Tutorial Bundles). I am now selling this tutorial as an individual project. (Lookout for it in my shop).

You can also get this tutorial for FREE with any order through me during September/October.

Well, that's all from me today, thank you very much for dropping in. Have a brilliant day, and get some craft time in!

Don't forget to keep on hopping around to see what everyone else has to show you...I am looking forward to it myself!
