CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP -- ANNUAL CATALOGUE SNEAK PEEK



Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are giving you a little Sneak Peek from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Today I am sharing a creation that I made for my daughter using the new stamp set - Daisy Delight and the matching Daisy Punch.




It is a very simple but yet affective project. I stamped out the flower images from Daisy Delight in Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry. For each flower I used three images and layered them up to create a 3D flower.

Once I made enough flowers, I then added them to a headband using hot glue. Then...TA DA! done.










I hope you like my idea of using these products to make a little something special. Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop,

Rosalie

ESAD 2017/18 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek Blog Hop





I hope you are enjoying all the fantastic projects in the ESAD 2017/18 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek Blog Hop.

One of the amazing things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is being able to purchase some items from the new 2017-2018 Catalogue early. There are so many wonderful products to choose from, it was hard to decide what to share with you today.

You may have come from the wonderful                   or be starting the hop here with me, Rosalie Desmond.

Here are couple of cards that I would love to share with you today using the Daisy Delight Bundle and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.






This first card was made as a thank you card for one of my lovely customers. She is such a special lady and I wanted her to have the opportunity to see first hand the wonderful paper and stamped images from the Delightful Daisy Suite. The Designer Series Paper is the star of this card and I teamed it up with some layers of Night of Navy and Calypso Coral. The "Thank you" sentiment and the flower image are both from the brand new Daisy Delight Stamp Set, which can either be purchased individually or as a bundle with the Daisy Punch.






For this second card I used the Softly Fallen Embossing Folder to create some texture on the Calypso Coral card stock. I then matted some Designer Series Paper with some Night of Navy card stock. The card was then topped off with a daisy stamped and punched. For this card I chose not to put a sentiment on it, so it can be used for any purpose.



You may be wondering...




Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have fun and enjoy hopping around the whole hop. Next you will find the lovely, Tanya Bell.

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH LEA DENTON




Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Lea Denton. I am so excited to have Lea joining us today, her work is absolutely amazing. You should check out her blog. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Here is what Lea inspired me to make today. I had a purpose in mind when making this card. A friend has recently been ill and I wanted to wish her well. The sentiment "Sending Wishes Your Way" can be used for so many different events, in this case as a Get Well sentiment.




This is Lea's card that I CASED. I used the concept of using beautiful colours and using emboss resist to create my card. I also Used a similar layout and turned it  portrait rather than landscape.



I sponged Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party and Peekaboo Peach on a clear embossed image from Lovely As A Tree to create my image. The sentiment is from Butterfly Basics. I then added some metallic enamel shapes to finish it off.



Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop,
Rosalie


ESAD EASTERN PALACE SUITE BLOG HOP




I hope you are enjoying all the gorgeous projects in the ESAD Eastern Palace Suite Blog Hop.

We have been enough to have a suite from the new 2017-2018 Catalogue early. It is an amazing collection of a stamp set, thinlits, inks, card stock, designer series paper, stickers, and tassels. What makes this even better is that it is available to everyone as bundles right now!

You may have come from the wonderful  Ellen Woodbridge or be starting the hop here with me, Rosalie Desmond.

Recently, I have been really having some fun with this suite. I have found that it works with almost any colour scheme and the designs you can make are almost endless. So if you are looking for some versatile products, this suite is certainly worth a look. Here is a card that I would love to share with you today.



I have teamed up the lovely Specialty Designer Series paper with some  Daffodil Delight and Tranquil Tide card stock and some stamping. If you thought you just read a new colour, you are absolutely correct. Tranquil Tide is one of this years new in-colours. The gorgeous spotty piece of paper is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper which highlights another new in-colour, Lemon Lime Twist.







Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have fun and enjoy hopping around the whole hop. Next you will find the lovely, Cathy Pinchbeck.
