Stampin' Up! Memories & More - GSF Bloghop 15: Anything but cards


Welcome back for a Global Stamping Friends Blog hop - this months brief was 'Anything but cards' so I have chosen to add some Memories & More pages to my albums. Please don't judge I am way behind and after13 years - 3 kids - through these mmm lets say not fun to scrapbook coloured school uniforms I am so glad my youngest has moved to High School!

Did you hop here from MemoryINKers? Karie always has great projects to share doesn't she and her snowfalake Christmas tree is no exception? Please continue to hit the next button below and see what everyone else has to show us there's some amazingly talented people in the big wide web world.

Our little school has a tradition of the leaving kids ringing the old school bell and my Miss T was super excited about it. They run the last school assembly for the year with some crazy skits, get their shirts defaced with love from their friends and the mothers cry whilst taking a bucket load of photos - well this one did anyway!



I cut this big card down as I love the saying and it was so appropriate for this last day of primary school for my youngest daughter. I have combined 2 of our Memories & More packs to make these pages - the Perfect Days Pack and the Color Theory Pack- both available in the Annual Catalogue.



Thank you for popping on past please hit the next button to see Ellen's beautiful Christmas decorations.

Hello 40 Mixed Drinks Birthday Card

Celebrate in style they say - 40 is one of those 'big' birthdays that seem to be happening a load this year in my friend group.

Although I am a teetotaller most of the time - my scrapping friends are not! This was for one of them to go with her gift card for some Scrap Stash goodies.





To get the pale colour for the drinks they were all stamped off first and then the bubbles were stamped in full ink colour.
The hello thinlit has retired but I really needed to include it - I made the cake topper with 'hello forty' so the card had to match!


The cake - was amazing - my friends mum made it and wow it was impressive so I have to share a photo with my timber topper nestled perfectly in amongst all that chocolate and fruit.

Fancy Folds and 3D projects ESAD blog hop 10/2017 - Holiday Catalogue



Welcome to my contribution for the Fancy Folds and 3D projects ESAD blog hop using the Holiday Catalogue products - I will admit squeezing a few extra Annual Catalogue goodies in as well.




Today I decided to pull out an old favourite of mine The Gift Bag Punch Board. With Christmas coming very fast I thought some packaging would be great to get started on. I love the Merry Little Christmas spread in the Holiday Catalogue on pages 10-13 so decided to follow suit. I am giving jewellery to those owning the little box plus the bags and the big box will hold a bottle of perfume perfectly. They looked a little naked without some sparkle so I added a little bling with the initials of the gift recipients.

 
 
These 2 are bags made according to the instructions with the paper cut for the large bag 6"x12" and the smaller bag 6"x10" I scored the top at 1" to fold it over on the smaller bag to get the contrast.
 


 
So onto some boxes - still using the Gift Bag Punch Board - now I don't like to reinvent the wheel so I headed over to YouTube to find a video on how to do this. I found Amanda's video HERE and all the instructions including the measurements for the tall box are there.  The little box is a cut down smaller version as I need that size for earrings and a necklace.
 
 
Using the Everyday Label Punch and the Labels To Love Stamp set I have made this tag - its 3 layers, Whisper White, DSP and then the Stamped Christmas Tag.
 



Thanks for stopping by I hope you have liked my projects - please hop on over to Rebecca's page and see her great table settings and matching card that she has to share with us - till next time!
