Make Waves CTMH Australasian Blog Hop


Welcome to our Make Waves CTMH Australasian Blog Hop! If you arrived from Vandra's blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived by accident, I hope you will hop around all the blogs and check out all the projects shared!

My inspiration for this card came from Linda Curico. I used Lagoon, Pansy & White Daisy Cardstock, D1764 - Make Waves Scrapbooking Stamp Set, Black Memento Ink Pad, ShinHan Twin Touch Markers, Clear Shimmer Brush to create this Double Front Fold Card. 



I have decided that I am going to use up some of the complements and embellishments I have stashed away this year. Some of them are retired, but others are still available. For this page layout, I used MIFYH Vol 3, Pattern 6, White Daisy & Emerald CS, Make Waves Paper, Adventure Ribbon Pack, Glitter Gems (retired), Springtime Complements (retired), Thin Foam Tape, Glue Dots

The Make Waves collection is available till the end of April - WSL from your consultant! If you don't have a consultant, you can contact me here!

I would love you to leave a comment before you continue on to see what Nell has created!

Come back soon and see what else is NEW and what I have been creating.

S1802 - Sunny Thoughts Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop





Welcome to our S1802 Sunny Thoughts Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop! If you arrived from Doris' blog, you are on the right track. If you arrived here by accident, then I hope you will hop around all the blogs and see what everyone has created using our February Stamp of the Month - Sunny Thoughts!

This month I am sharing a selection of cards I have created using this versatile stamp set, with a variety of papers.

For the first three cards, I used some scraps of cardstock I had sitting on my desk and used the coordinating ink colour to stamp a "splash" with D1733 - Splash of Colour Stamp Set under the sentiment.
The colours used were Cranberry, Lagoon & Sapphire.





For this card, I used a scrap of Basics Fundamentals Paper. I used the border stamp from S1802 - Sunny Thoughts Stamp Set for the border and stamped it and the sentiment in Charcoal ink.

This card was created using Pacifica Cardstock with paper from the Chelsea Gardens paper pack. I used the Scallop Border Thin Cuts to cut the borders from Pacifica cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Pacifica. The Butterfly - from C1709 - Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp set, was stamped in Pewter and coloured using Water Colour pencils. 


 For this card, I used Pacifica and White Daisy Cardstock. The circle was cut using the largest of the Basic Circles Thin Cuts. The cute little mermaid is from D1764 - Make Waves Scrapbooking Stamp Set and was stamped with Black Memento Ink and coloured using Water Colour Pencils. The sentiment was stamped in Pacifica. 

This card was created using Pacifica, White Daisy & Lemon Cardstock, along with paper from the Stargazer Paper Pack. I used Design Space and my Cricut Explore to cut the pocket. The sun is from the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge. The circle was the one cut from the 'Mermaid' card above - using the largest of the Basic Circles Thin Cuts. I used Pacifica & Lemon Ink to stamp the sentiment.


The February Stamp of the Month, S1802 - Sunny Thoughts is only available this month - February 2018! You can get the stamp for just $7.50 set by spending $75.00 with your consultant or your can purchase it for $27.00.  If you don't have a consultant, you can contact me here!
