Delicate Dahlias – Casually Crafting Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to Casually Crafting Blog Hop. 

The Casually Crafting Design Team is made up of a group of Independent Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators from around the word, that enjoy sharing our take on casual crafting.

This months hop is all about Colour with a Colour Challenge: Pear Pizzazz – Daffodil Delight – Polished Pink

Today I have used the Delicate Dahlias from the 2021 Sale-A-bration, along with the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks from the Annual Catalogue.

You can earn the Delicate Dahlias stamps when you spend $180 from the Annual or mini Catalogues.

The ombre back ground was created by using the Blending brushes to blend the daffodil delight Ink from the bottom to the top. Working the colour darker to lighter.

The Dahlias and leaves were stamped onto Basic White Cardstock , then fussy cut. I stamped the dahlias twice with both the outline stamp and the Distinktive stamp using the Polished Pink Ink Pad. One dahlia was cut around the outer edge, the other was cut further in to form two layers. The petals were slightly shaped before layering together using dimensionals.

The leaves were stamped using the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad, fussy cut and tucked under the dahlia.

The sentiment is from the Lovely You Stamps, stamped onto basic Black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Brilliant Wings – Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to my Blog today..

Today I’m taking part in the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop and the theme for this month is Make it Sparkle. I usually don’t use a lot of ‘Sparkly” in my cards, so I really enjoyed making this card, something different is always good.

Brilliant Wings Dies by Stampin' Up!

I used Brilliant Wings by Stampin’ Up!® to cut 3 butterflies from the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and to add some extra ‘sparkle’ added splashes of Wink of Stella to the completed card.
