Global Stampers - October 2016

It's time that time of the month for the Global Stampers blog swap.

This month we are going with a theme - Thank You.

I decided to cut into a couple of the sheets of designer series paper from the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper. I've been saving this sheet of foiled paper, but figured out that I really need to get over my hoarding.

I really went to town with the copper because the I also copper embossed the sentiment onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, and then matted it onto some Copper Foil sheet. The sentiment is one from a set of 7 stamps found in the One Big Meaning stamp set.

I used the same sentiment to make another card using more of the paper from the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper. This one is a little simpler.

For this, I used my Stampin' Write markers to ink up the sentiment. This meant I could have different words in different colours. 

Don't forget to pop over and visit the other Global Stampers and see their fabulous projects. You can click on each photo below and visit their blogs to see the projects in more detail.

Global Stampers - September 2016

It's that time of the month again for the Global Stampers Blog Swap. This month we opted to go with a colour theme. The colours being -

I'm sharing a projects that I've made using products from the Petals & Paisleys Suite, which I am so in love with.

I started with a blank piece of A4 Very Vanilla cardstock and using the three colours and the Paisley & Posies stamp set I made this. Please note it's important that when stamping the images, that you cover as much of the cardstock as possible. Don't leave any large blank spaces.

I then cut the sheet up. With the addition of some Mint Macaron and Rich Razzleberry cardstock along with some Cooper Foil Paper, I made four cards and a holder for them.

On this first card, I also stamped some additional images on some scrap Very Vanilla and die cut them using the Paisley Framelits Dies. The embossed layer is the de-bossed side of the Mint Macaron that I had embossed with the Lovely Lace folder.

The second card is very simple. The four pieces of Very Vanilla were simply adhered to a piece of Copper Foil Sheet. The whole thing was then added to the Mint Macaron with Stampin' Dimensionals.

On this third card I stamped on the Rich Razzleberry cardstock with Rich Razzleberry ink before adhereing the two pieces. The long strip is simply glued to the front and the larger rectangle is adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals.

On this fourth card I simply added some Mint Macaron 3/8" Ribbon from the Trio Pack (Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron and Rich Razzleberry).

The last two pieces of Very Vanilla were glued to the front and back of a bag made to hold the cards. The bag is made out of one sheet of A4 Rich Razzleberry cardstock.

If you are interested in seeing the cutting template I used, it was one given to me at a recent training event. I have traced it back to a post by Paula Reid back in September 2014 - got to love Pinterest.

I hope you like these projects and please feel free to leave comments.

Tomorrow I'll be posting photos and links to the projects from the other global stampers so please check back to see what everyone else has been up to.
