 The blog before me is Discover Ink by Ann Gerlach. Even if you are just starting here you can hop around from here.
The stamp I chose to showcase is Vivid Vases. You all know how much I like to paint images so this was just my type of stamp. The style for this first card is called Ombre which is basically going from light to dark or vice versa with a colour family. Doesn't it look great and also a good way to use the fringe scissors. The colours I have used are Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, and Pool Party. They are a good combo for this style.

  
For this second card I used the DSP Modern Medley. I know it is Vanilla based but I put it on white for some contrast. I stamped the vases on the paper and cut them out. I have used the new Arrows embossing folder

 thanks for hopping by. Now its time to hop on to Narelle's blog.
 I hope you enjoy this blog hop and find something you like in the new Occasions mini.


 

ESAD Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

hello there, 
 Welcome to my blog for the blog hop. You may have come from Monique's Blog or just starting here. There are 25 blogs for you hop around to see a sample of what is coming for you this sale-a-bration time.
Yes I know I have been very remiss in not blogging since last Blog hop but here I am now with a few cards for you made with Sale-a-bration items. 

 This first card I have used part of the designer paper Sweet Sorbet,

I stamped the small flower from Banner Blast and punched it out with the Itty Bitty punch. I have used twine from the Sweet Sorbet accessory pack. The greeting is from Sassy Salutations.

Another card made using the DSP Sweet Sorbet. I also stamped the flowers from Petal Parade stamp set. It makes card making easy using the DSP as the main part of the card.

 I saw a card made with this cute little Alligator on so I decided to change it a little and show you here. I stamped the scalloped strip from Petal Parade and used another piece of the Sweet Sorbet DSP. The greeting is from the set See Ya later and fits well with the fun Alligator.I also used the embossing folder from the SAB brochure called Decorative Dots. Its a great one to have in your collection.

Another stamp set I like from the choices this year is You're Lovely. I used the strip of flowers and painted them using Raspberry Ripple. This stamp set coordinates with the Deco Labels framelits. 

 I got the idea for this card from Pinterest and just changed a couple of things. I even used some scraps from the Good as Gold card kit. The colour used here is Pool Party. 

 well I think I have shown you a good selection to whet your appetite for the wonderful items from this years sale-a-bration catalogue. Now its time to hop along to Paula's blog

ESAD Holiday Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Hi there, 
Before I send you off on the Blog hop I thought I would update you on what has been happening in our lives here in the Buckland household. As some of you know, Graham was made redundant on the 17th June. Well he still has not been able to find work. He has applied to so many jobs but he just hasn't been able to get one. 
Then I slipped on a chip and fell flat on my back at the shopping centre a few weeks ago and hurt my back so I am having physio twice a week for that. I am hoping that it will get better soon as I hate being so restricted in what I do. Anyway that is some of the reasons why I haven't been blogging much in the past 2 months. I hope to get back into it soon.
Now on with the Hop!!!

You may have come here via Anna's Blog or if you have started here you can hop on around from here.
The projects I have to show you today are from a selection of stamp sets and embossing folders from the mini. The first one used the set Wishing You and the embossing folder Pretty Print. Also some of the DSP from Season of Style. 

 This second card is made using Joyful Christmas and Vellum for heat embossing the poinsettia on and then I sponged it with Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green

The next card is using Wonderful Wreath 

 On this card I have used Santas list and Wishing You

 The final card is also using Wishing You and some of the Season of Style DSP.

 Well that is all for now. You can now hop along to Mel Sharp's lovely blog.
thanks for stopping by.

I decided to show The Wildflower Meadow stamp with matching embossing folder and also the Label Love Stamp set with Punch. I made a card in each of the new In Colours using a couple of different layouts. On this first one I have painted the flowers made with Simply Pressed Clay with ink and also dyed the white ribbon to match. I have used embossing folders on each of them.

The happy birthday on this card is from the new set Sketched Birthday.

This final card is done by stamping in Whisper White craft ink and drying it and then using re-inkers to paint it with and then embossed with the matching folder.
I have had one of my launch parties and the gift I made for those who attended is also made using the Wildflower Meadow stamp and Label love. it is a plain notepad covered and the stamped strip added.
I used Pool Party with Coastal Cabana and Pink Pirouette with the Strawberry Slush.

I got a little carried away. Anyway since I have made them I may as well show them all to you. The colours I have used are Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green for the first 2 and then have mixed River Rock with Always Artichoke and also added in some Espresso Coredinations card stock which I have embossed and then sanded. Doesn't it look great.

Today I have made 2 cards using the new stamp set Countryside. I love the old ute so have coloured it in Real Red for one card and Pacific Point for the other. I have used sketch challenges to help me design these cards.

The next set I have used is Cherish Friendship. I painted the apples in red and used a gate fold card. The scallop circle is from Perfect Pennants Bigz die.

I punched the edges under the striped red DSP with the Dotted scallop ribbon border punch.

Thanks for stopping by today. Now you can hop along to Keryn Campbell's blog to see the lovely items she has made.

Now on to what I have created to show you today. I have decided to use the stamp set Apothecary Art and the new Framelits dies to go with it. I am loving this set of course since there is colouring to do. Also the set Bordering on Romance as I have used the framelits on these 2 cards as well.

 I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest and loved it so here is my version.The flowers look great with tiny pearls on them.

I coloured this one last week and then last night quickly put it together using some of the pretty satin pleated ribbon. The paper is Twitterpated.

 Bordering on Romance. This card I have used the framelits die to cut out the centre piece and then the Edgelits die to cut the edges and then placed Poppy Parade under the edge. I have left the front mostly white and embossed it.

 This final card I have used Blushing Bride and Pool Party. Also I have used the new Edgelits die and matching embossing folder. Aren't they just lovely.

Now its time for you to hop on over to Carolyn Bennie's Blog to enjoy more lovely cards. I have more cards ready for my launch tomorrow so come back in the next day or so to check them out.
