INK & INSPIRATION BLOG HOP FEBRUARY 2020


Welcome to my part of this months' Inspiration Blog Hop,  the theme for February is "Technique Savvy".

The technique I used today was embossing, this is such an easy technique when there are so many beautiful embossing folders around, adding a little stamping and punching can give you a very quick and cute card.








Hope you like this little card, now it's time to sit back and enjoy the designs of our other team members.

THANK YOU OASIS

Being busy people, there are times when we need a 30 second card, I did recently and I used the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Cards.

I did need to trim it a little, to fit on the card base with a little border, but hey how long would that take?

A little stamp and a few pearls, finished, what do you think?

KYLIE BERTUCCI'S INTERNATIONAL BLOG HIGHLIGHTS WINNERS HOP FEBRUARY, 2020

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, it's a thrill to be part of this month's International Highlights Winners Blog Hop which is hosted by Kylie Bertucci.

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for me earlier in the month in the International Blog Highlights.

As always the theme of this Blog Hop is Thanks. No matter how hard life can be there is always something to be thankful for.

I love simply, and this card is very simple, I used the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set and did a little Paper Toling.

Paper tole art is a paper craft which involves cutting, shaping, sculpturing and gluing cutouts obtained from identical prints, and building these components up.






I will be creating a tutorial for this project in PDF form and if you would like a copy please email me at sueallensimplycraft@bigpond.com.

Again, thank you for stopping by please continue the hop by clicking on the name below mine (I'm Sue Allen) and see what beautiful designs these talented artists have come up with.

OOPS I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS

Each month I try and take part in a card swap, we are given a theme and then we decided how many people we will make cards for and swap, I always choose three, they all get the same card but for some reason I settled on three.

The theme this month was a Colour Combo, we had to make a card using Pool Party, Merry Merlot, Blackberry Bliss not one of my favs but I was committed so had a go.


The stamp set I used was the Floral Essence, another one of my favourites but I really wanted to used my new Coastal Weave Embossing Folder from the New Mini Catalogue, I love it.


It's an embossing folder that can be used for so many projects, love it.

As I wasn't too sure about the colour combo I actually made the card again changing the colour scheme. this time using Cajun Craze and Calypso Coral.



Which do you prefer?
