Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack's 5th blogaversary birthday celebration hop day 2!

In honor of celebrating 5 wonderful years, Jo has an amazing two day blog hop lined up with 18 talented designers, several sponsors,  some of which; are among the top companies in the industry and lots of blog candy! So share this news with your crafty friends, grab your favorite beverage and hop along with us!

To start at the beginning of the hop, go visit Jo's Scrap Shack

You should have arrived here from Sherrie

I made a birthday card using a digital image from A Day for Daisies called "Butterfly Girl".  It is very apt since this blog has given me wings.  My blog was started in 2012 also after encouragement from Jo so we could share our creations and inspire one another which I am sure it has.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jo and your little Scrap Shack!!!!

My background is watercolored using Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colours.  My image was coloured using Copic Markers. This was then cut out and pasted onto a yellow mat and then onto a teal mat cut out using my Scan N Cut.  My sentiment was from my stash. I coloured it in sections to echo the watercoloring.

My nieces also got into the joy of creating with a little bit of help from Aunty Kellie and Nan.

Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack's
4th Birthday Blog Hop Day 2

The theme of the Blog Hop is Anything But A Card.  
I have designed a Kaisercraft wooden word "CREATE" for my studio.

I started out with the beautiful papers from Amy Tangerine's 6x6" "Finders Keepers" Paper pad.

I chose a different paper for each letter.
I traced each letter and cut them out slightly smaller.

After glueing each letter on I edged the whole word with black marker to make it stand out a little more.

I added some flowers and foliage to the Letter C.  Aren't these so pretty?  They make me smile

Here is the finished project in my studio.  I love how it looks

Here is the line up for both days of the hop.

• You have to visit each designers blog

I created a Birthday gift bag.  I took a piece of 12 x 12 paper and folded it to create my gift bag. No cutting just folding.  Isn't this PP just so happy!!!

 My stamp -  "Your Love Blows Me Away" by Phyllis Harris at Unity Stamps was coloured with Copic Markers and then cut out and added to the gift bag. 

I lined up the image up so one of the ribbons on the present acts like a bow on the girls head :D

I then added crystal glass to the balloons.

Hello my crafty friends!!

Welcome to day 4 of the 3 Twenty Crafts 2^nd Release Blog Hop! 

This week has been so much fun and I have had a blast sharing each new stamp set and all my projects with you. So thank you for stopping by each day this week and joining the fun!

You should have arrived here from Joyce but if you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, simply go to Jo's Scrap Shack.

 Today we are showing you the new and awesome stamp set  

“Personalize It” 

This stamp set coordinates with Project Life and Smash Books.  So many different options and many stamps in there to play with.

My creation today is very simple.  I have had this beautiful piece of 'It Takes Two' (QLS54) patterned paper for years.  I have never wanted to cover it up so it has stayed in my stash.  I thought today's project would be perfect to take it out and use in in my scrapbook. To highlight my goals for the year.  

The Alpha Chipboard is #3 from Kaisercraft.  I painted the chipboard and a piece of white card with acrylic paints from my stash.  The paints are nothing special - Palmer 'Sunlight',  Semco 'Mango' and  Colour Traditions 'True Red'. I just used a paintbrush and elegantly blobbed it on and then blended them together.  Most of the true orange colour is the red mixing in with the yellow as the mango was much closer to the yellow than orange once it was applied.  I do love to get messy.  Once dried I just stamped onto the painted card  and voila.  Everything was just then glued down.

Well that is todays projects and I am glad you stopped by today. Your next stop on the hop is Kristin so have a great time as my Design Team sisters have really created up some gorgeous projects that will surely inspire you!!

Hello my crafty friends!!

Welcome to day 3 of the 3 Twenty Crafts 2^nd Release Blog Hop! 
You should have arrived here from Joyce but if you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, simply go to Jo's Scrap Shack.

 Today we are showing you the new and awesome stamp set  
“Say it from the Heart”

There is so much you can do with this stamp set that I had to just start playing.  I love the hexagon shapes.  I decided to try embossing my card with the Stampin Up Honeycomb folder.  I then used it as a template for my creations.

First I used the solid hexagon shape to 'colour' the hexagons with Close To My Heart 'Watermelon' and 'Grey Flannel' inks I then rubbed the grey over the  raised areas.  This ended up being very grundgy.

The next one I trialled I rubbed my embossing folder with my ink on the raised side - this transferred the ink to the card so this is the back or debossed side.  I then stamped the swirly pattern (without the hexagon border) - if you look closely it  has a hexagon shape so fits perfectly within the hexagon.  I love how this one turned out.

The next background I embossed the card again this time working on the embossed side.  I traced around each hexagon shape with Spectrum Noir Marker BP2.  Then like my grundgy one I stamped using the solid hexagon.  This time I left some white space and also stamped the swirly pattern.

My last background again is on the embossed side of the card.  I alternated the swirly pattern with and without the hexagon border - it is like the pattern and the negative.  I love both these stamps and so I think this was the favourite of my backgrounds,

I then experimented with my brayer to change my white card to match my backgrounds I then stamped out one of the sentiments onto the newly created coloured card and inked the edges of the card and the sentiments.  I then added different trims.

This one is my absolute favourite the shine of those little daisies just does not show up on the photo.  Totally blingy :D

This one I added the organza ribbon

This last one the ribbon colour is actually pink - it hasn't photographed the best.

So many different looks and there are many more stamps in there to play with.

Well that is todays projects and I am glad you stopped by today. Your next stop on the hop is Kristin so have a great time as my Design Team sisters have really created up some gorgeous projects that will surely inspire you!!
