NEW September to December Mini Catalogue - Coast to Coast Creators September Blog Hop

   

Welcome to our September Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are highlighting our new September to December Mini Holiday Catalogue. You can see the new catalogue by clicking on the photo/link in the right sidebar. 


I've used several new products in my card--Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder (I dragged a white ink pad across the embossed image), Peaceful Evergreens Cling Stamp Set, Greetings of the Season Bundle (stamp set & dies), and Shaded Spruce 1/2" Satin & Sheer Ribbon.

I dragged a white ink pad over the embossed tree.

I stamped the trees on the inside of the card (see photo below), and added some ribbon (coloured with an Azure Afternoon Stampin' Blends) and three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

I'd love it if you would leave a comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Be sure to check out my friends' beautiful creations showcasing our new colours in the blog hop below!!

Photo Inspiration! Coast to Coast Creators August Blog Hop


Hello! Welcome to our August Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are creating cards inspired by a photo, which you can see below. I love to create backgrounds using Blending Brushes, and was excited to give this challenge a try!


Here is the photo we used for inspiration.

I die cut a 1" circle with Stampin' Masking Paper, and added it and a 5" x 3" Post-it Note to a Basic White card layer to mask the sun/moon and the water. I also tore a small piece to mask the mountain.


Then I added colour with Blending Brushes, starting above the horizon--Petunia Pop, Gorgeous Grape, Coastal Cabana, and Azure Afternoon, leaving a bit of white for clouds.




I removed the large Post-it Note, added a tiny bit of Daffodil Delight to the sun/moon. Then I covered the sky, and repeated the process with Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, and Blueberry Bushel. I left some white, to represent the reflection, and then added a tiny bit of Coastal Cabana to that, as well as some Basic Gray to the mountain. I stamped some birds and trees, and layered the card front onto a black mat and a Petunia Pop card base. I thought about adding a sentiment, but thought I liked the card as it is!


I'd love it if you have time to write a comment below. But first, be sure to check out my friends' beautiful creations below!!

Lori Willcox and I are very excited to bring you our Blending Brush Class featuring the Labeled with Love Bundle! Join us online on Facebook on Saturday, Aug 24th to make 6 cards with gorgeous Blending Brush scenes and backgrounds! There will be LIVE sessions in an exclusive Facebook group from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm PT (including 6 project presentations) which you can watch from anywhere in Canada (see option below for residents outside of Canada).

To participate in our class sessions, you will need inks, adhesives, and Blending Brushes. You will only need a die cutting machine, such as our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, if you choose to purchase the Labeled With Love stamps & dies bundle rather than the stamps & punch bundle. The ink colours we’ll be using are from our Brights Colour Collection: Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon and Berry Burst, along with Memento Tuxedo Black, but you can substitute with what you already have!

For $22 CAD (about $16 USD), you will have access to the videos and PDF tutorials and can join us in our exclusive Facebook group! Register on the link below by Aug 21, 2024 and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice.


Card kits will be mailed by Aug 12th. We know that shipping times can vary so there is a slight possibility that they will arrive after the class. If so, you can still enjoy the class with us and put your card kits together afterwards! You can also pick up your package from my home.

In Color DSP Sketch Challenge - Coast to Coast Creators July Blog Hop

  

Welcome to our July Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are using a Sketch Challenge for our cards. The sketches come from our new 2024 Annual Catalogue. You can see the one I used below.


I pretty much copied the sketch and measurements exactly, and used our Summer Splash 2046-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP). I cut the DSP and layered it onto a Basic White layer, and then adhered it onto a Pretty Peacock card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.


I added some Summer Splash 3/8" Bordered Ribbon, and a sentiment (from Thoughtful Wishes) stamped in Pretty Peacock onto a Stylish Shapes banner.


I added some Summer Splash 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots to finish the card.

I'd love it if you would leave a comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Be sure to check out my friends' beautiful creations showcasing our new colours in the blog hop below!!
