It has been a very long time since I've posted on my blog. Time goes by so quickly.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today I made a card for a challenge set by my friend Kylie Bertucci, based on her husband Bruno's Scrappy Strip Technique.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is my card I created.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WiZ1TZ7mAKdXGYcwuWo14KXIplJZ-v3NAIV1O_YmWeMAPdKgP9yWN67CX0P5BTvpo2LNisvgG_D2r3E2K7c3L-Oz26dojTCGeecW09shvEf9t3-bl-5R3vOLlezChqWhMLXL1X62_0c/s2179/fullsizeoutput_5931.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2179" data-original-width="1602" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WiZ1TZ7mAKdXGYcwuWo14KXIplJZ-v3NAIV1O_YmWeMAPdKgP9yWN67CX0P5BTvpo2LNisvgG_D2r3E2K7c3L-Oz26dojTCGeecW09shvEf9t3-bl-5R3vOLlezChqWhMLXL1X62_0c/s320/fullsizeoutput_5931.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I am so happy with how it turned out! In making the strips for this technique, I have actually made 6 card fronts which I'll be turning into cards very soon.</div><div><br /></div><div>Firstly, I stamped a different leaf image on a different coloured cardstock (I did 5 different stamps and colours) with versa mark ink and clear embossed them using clear embossing powder and my heat tool. I used 5 x 14.9cm x 10.5cm pieces of cardstock (half an A4).</div><div><br /></div><div>Then I cut each panel into strips and arranged the strips on a blank piece of Whisper White cardstock, which measures 14.4cm x 10cm. Bruno has a video that he shows this technique in action. I'll link that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAHpbdo7SDk" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I ended up trimming that down to 13.9cm x 9.5cm and matted that on another piece of whisper white 14.9cm x 10cm. This then was adhered onto a top folding card base. </div><div><br /></div><div>To finish my card, I cut some leaves from the co-ordinating die set in vellum cardstock and tucked them behind my sentiment. The sentiment was then stamped and die cut from the Stitched Shapes die set. I used a few basic rhinestones to bling it up a bit.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Supplies:</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Stamps</b>: Forever Fern, Peaceful Moments</div><div><b>Dies</b>: Forever Flourishing, Stitched Shapes</div><div><b>Cardstock</b>: Whisper White, Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Vellum</div><div><b>Ink</b>: Versamark, Memento Black ink</div><div><b>Other Basics</b>: Adhesive (I used Tombo liquid glue and Tear n tape), Paper trimmer, Paper snips, Die cutting machine, Heat tool and Basic rhinestones.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like to purchase any of the above supplies, please contact me and I'd be happy to help you!</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave me a comment!</div><div><br /></div><div>Til next time,</div><div><br /></div><div>Nicole.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Nicole Spicerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04753153040121997188noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942197586799207374.post-39112163183093963132017-03-19T01:29:00.000+08:002017-03-19T14:10:41.004+08:00Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest Rachel Tessman<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is the card I have chosen to CASE. I love Rachel's cards with the beautiful colours, but I needed to make a Fathers Day Card... So I have used the layout to make my card and I changed the DSP to the Urban Underground DSP from the Occasions Catalogue which is ending at the end of the month! So if you love it as much as I do, you need to purchase it NOW!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello to everyone out there visiting me today for our Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This hop we have a special guest, Georgia Giguere! Thanks so much for joining us this month Georgia.</span></div>
<div style="color: #684947; font-family: 'Coming Soon'; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #684947; font-family: 'Coming Soon'; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When this hop was first announced with Georgia, I admit that I wasn't too sure who she was, although I was familiar with some of her creations. I headed to her blog www.stampingeorgia.com but I don't think I was really prepared for what I learned about this amazing lady!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her amazing story of Faith in God and battling a horrible disease brought tears to my eyes. I was moved so much by her writing that I kept reading and reading (I felt like a bit of a stalker! LOL). I would encourage you to take the time to read her journey and see her amazing talent. She shares lots of ideas and techniques.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

It is so beautiful and intricate. I love the softness of Georgia's card but I went for something a bit more bold, and Emerald Envy and Flirty Flamingo are such a "match-made-in-heaven". The sentiment I have chosen is from the stamp set One Big Meaning.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This next card was so cute and fun, but Valentine's cards just aren't my thing - so I've used this beautiful paper pack for a Thank You card. I love the designs but this pattern really stood out for me. I was going to do silver slimmer flowers but stuck with red ones.</span></div>

Hello crafting friends and thanks for joining me for my blog post. I'm posting this quite late because its been a very busy, but lovely weekend catching up with my parents, who have been in New Zealand for 5 weeks on holiday and visiting my brother and family. I had made this card earlier in the week but typical of me, I leave it til the last minute to photograph and blog - and for the last 4 days its been horrible weather... so no lovely garden photo with my card this time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhow, this is the card I've made for the Global Design Projects colour challenge they presented this week. The colours are Daffodil Delight, Watermelon Wonder and Emerald Envy. I quite liked this colour combination and didn't find it too hard to get some inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used one of my fave stamp sets, Garden in Bloom and Tin of Cards for the sentiment. I just cannot resist the cute little bee - perfect for Daffodil Delight! I have stamped off with my flowers to get the different shades of Watermelon Wonder. A great way to add depth without adding another colour.</div>

Here is the card I have made. I decided to use a layout to base my card on this time. I loved the vertical look. I'll admit, I don't make too many cards with the top fold, but I really love this one.<br />

<br />
I've stuck with my favourite colour to base my card today - Sweet Sugarplum. I've teamed this with Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride for my balloons. My bear is a triple stamped image in Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and Early Expresso.<br />
<br />
The stamp sets I have used in my card are Baby Bear, Bookshelf Builder for the sentiment and hearts and Gorgeous Grunge for the background splatters. I know Shannon has flicked her Stampin' Write Markers to create her splatter effect, but I'm afraid I'm not as clever as her (or just not as experienced!) and mine didn't work! My next best thing was my ever useful Gorgeous Grunge.<br />
<br />
Here is the card from Shannon that I have chosen to CASE. You can click on the image to go to her blog post featuring this card. Every month we have to chose a card to CASE and this month was no exception to the difficulty of choosing just one! Shannon's work is amazing!<br />

I absolutely love these colours together so I couldn't wait to get started! I also wanted to use my Sale-a-bration freebie stamp set called Avent Garden. I really love this stamp set. The flower is just gorgeous and the font of the sentiments is lovely. Here's a look at that set:</div>

I made this card a few weeks ago with the Global Design Project challenge GDP066. Unfortunately I didn't get around to submitting it. :-( But nevertheless, I wanted to share the card with you anyway!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will give you a link to the original GDP blog after I show you my card. I have used some of my favourite colours - Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum, Cucumber Crush and Flirty Flamingo. The stamp set is from the Jar of Love bundle, available from the 2016/2017 Annual Catalogue.</div>

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog today for a card I made for the Global Design Project blog challenge. This week they had a sketch challenge. I love sketch challenges! It really allows for a broad interpretation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the card I made using the new Sale-a-bration stamp set Avent Garden. The colours I have used are Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach and Emerald Envy. I'm sure I've said it hundreds of times, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE these In Colours. Luckily for me, they will run for another year after because I'm defiantly not happy to see them go yet!</div>

Hello! Welcome to my blog where I post my latest creations! Sometimes I make a card for blog challenges, or something will inspire me to just create!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think that was the case in this one. I was making another card for a blog challenge (i'll post that one soon!) and then after I finished that one, this one came about. I have to admit, that I LOVE how this card turned out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the masking technique quite a lot in this card. Its fiddly but really looks great when it works! The colours I have used are Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder and Peekaboo Peach. I was not a fan of Peekaboo Peach when it first came out - but I have really turned into a fan! Especially with these two beautiful colours. And who doesn't love Emerald Envy!? Another one of my favourites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inside of my card is simple with a sentiment and two flowers in the corner. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you like the flowers in this card - then you'd better get in quick, as this stamp set is offered FREE as part of our Sale-a-bration celebration.</div>

Hello again, and thanks for stopping by!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is a card I have made for my niece who, as you can see, is turning 12! I finally had a chance to use my Confetti TIEF for this card, and I really like the effect!! I wanted to make a pretty card, but when I was looking for my Glimmer paper, I found all these different colours! I thought "Ahh well, I might use them all!" So I did. I have Cherry Cobbler, Champagne (retired), Silver, Gold and Blushing Bride. The cupcake base or cone is stamped in Early Expresso on Soft Suede card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The banner at the top is using the Thoughtful Banners bundle (stamp set and punch). I gently curved the photopolymer words to fit in the banner. I embossed them all in white embossing powder and punched them out using the banner punch.</div>

I have used a new stamp set called Beetles & Bugs - and it is AWESOME! There is a such a great variety of bugs to chose from! I have used them all in this card cause they are all so cute! My colour scheme is the Brights Collection from Stampin' Up! I wanted this card to be bright and colourful, so the 10 colours of this collection was just perfect!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello and welcome to my blog! I have had a very productive day today- I got 6 cards made! I've already showed you three, so here is another one. This card is for my niece who LOVES pigs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card uses the stamp set Playful Pals. I will be honest and admit that I haven't used this stamp set nearly as much I'd thought I would - mostly due to my lack of crafting time - but I really like it! You can use it to customise to any requirement!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cardstock I have used is Blushing Bride and Whisper White. To add texture and contrast, I have used Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.... I really love this glimmer paper!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've mixed up my ink colours on this card. I started with Pink Pirouette for her head, but found it to be too light, so I stamped over the top in Blushing Bride. But I did leave the Pink Pirouette for his ears and just outlined them in Blushing Bride. The snout is Flirty Flamingo because I wanted something a bit darker but not too dark. I love this colour so much! I also used it to stamp my sentiment Happy Birthday.</div>

I love to decorate the inside of my cards, and for this one I thought it would be fitting to use the bow from my background. I think they are adorable!</div>

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was busting to use the new Hexagon Dynamic TIEF but I haven't received my Nailed It stamp set and dies yet. So.... I pulled out my Guy Greetings stamp set to use in the meantime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These cards are really easy to make as it was a standard card with the front folded back over to create a Z. In each card I have hidden the Happy Birthday message behind the square part at the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first card is stamped with the Anchor and phrase "You're my anchor". I wanted to leave this as a non-specific recipient so it could be given to a partner, father or brother. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second card features the tool stamp from this stamp set. I had never used this particular one before but I really like it for a background. I stamped the World's Greatest stamp first and then the Dad stamp underneath. Doing the banner first helps to line up the Dad stamp.</div>

The last card I have made is one for my Father-in-law who's birthday is coming up soon. This one features brushed silver card stock and silver embossing powder for the sentiment on the front. On the inside I have added the word Dad to the Happy Birthday message.</div>

I have used one of my favourite stamp sets from the Annual Catalogue called Garden in Bloom. Firstly, I stamped the outlined image in Elegant Eggplant in random places on Whisper White. Then using the solid image, I stamped off on scrap paper and then on the outlined flower. I love this effect, especially seeings I couldn't add two additional colours!<br />
<br />
The sentiment, Happy Birthday, is also from the Annual Catalogue and is called Stylised Birthday. This is certainly a well used practical stamp in my collection!<br />
<br />
I have used my Layering Ovals Framelits for the sentiment. I absolutely love how they are made to fit perfectly with each other, both ovals and scalloped ovals.<br />

I am so in love with Sweet Sugarplum at the moment! I think I'm a tad addicted....! I love the effect of the emboss resist technique too, and I wanted to give it a try with these beautiful feathers. I've embossed them on watercolour paper and then used my aqua painter to deliver the ink straight over, removing the excess off with a tissue.<br />
<br />
I also used my Layering Oval Framelits dies for the first time for my sentiment with my Stylised Birthday greeting stamp.</div>

Firstly, I stared my background as I chose not to use DSP. I love the freedom of stamping your own DSP! I have used the stamp set Penned & Painted which is a two-step stamping set. I love it! The colours I have used are Sweet Sugarplum and Night of Navy.</div>

I then sliced this card stock into strips and matted them with Night of Navy card stock. I then positioned three of these pieces onto Sweet Sugarplum card stock and adhered that onto my Night of Navy card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is stamped with a new stamp set Stylised Birthday from the annual catalogue. I have certainly got my monies worth from this stamp already! I cut this out with my new Layering Square Framelits and my Big Shot. I love these new framelits! The sentiment is popped up with dimensionals and I wrapped a piece of ribbon - the one I have used has retired, but you can use any ribbon you have.</div>

Hello :-) Thanks for visiting my blog today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I made a card for the Global Design Project blog and they have a 'CASE the designer' challenge. This week they have a lovely card by Steffi Helmschrott. I'll admit sometimes I do find it hard to CASE other peoples work - especially if it has to be a specific card! But I gave it a go!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I came up with.</div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can probably see, I have used the new 2016-2018 In Colours. They are so beautiful. I have used them with my Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to make my background. I have highlighted one of these colours - Emerald Envy to use as my mat on my card base and feature panel. To tone down the background I have used a piece of vellum, before wrapping my white bakers twine around and adhering my butterfly. To finish off my card, I threaded a metallic gold button with white bakers twine and tied a small bow and used a glue dot to stick it onto my butterfly and popped a few small rhinestones randomly on the vellum.</div>

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I made a card with my new Stampin' Up! supplies that finally arrived! I say finally, not because their service was slow, but because I finally was able to place an order and it arrived!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this card with the Mojo Monday MOJO456 sketch in mind. I'll show you their sketch challenge towards the end of my post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it my card. I've used Pool Party and Whisper White card stock for my card base and layers. The stamp set is a new one called Seaside Shore from Stampin' Up! and the sentiment is stamped from the ever-practical Tin of Cards stamp set. The ink colours are Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach from the new 2016-2018 In Colours range and Watermelon Wonder for my shells. The background is stamped in Pool Party from the same Seaside Shore stamp set. What a great background effect hey!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A very big hello to everyone out there visiting me today for our Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for July. This month we have a very special guest - Tracy May. Thanks so much for joining us this month Tracy. Your creations are simply stunning, clean and elegant so its an honour to have you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - <b>Nicole Spicer</b> - or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.<br />
<br />
While on Pinterest looking for a card of Tracy's to CASE I came across this stunning card. I bought the Sunburst thinlits die not long ago and haven't had much of a go with it so I thought it was a perfect opportunity. However, because I was so time poor, I sponged my back piece all in one go, rather than sponging each individual 'sun ray'. Mind you, in saying that, I <i>really</i> love Tracy's card and the effect of the different colours!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And here is my CASE of Tracy's fabulous card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also finished off the inside of my card. When I was sponging my front panel, I went through a couple of 'drafts'..... so instead of wasting them, I used one to mat my inside panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And here are some of the supplies I have used on my card. You'll also need a pair of scissors, your Big Shot and the Whisper White card stock for the sunburst and card base.<br />

We have REALLY cold day today in our corner of the country today. The sun is out but I'm not sure it's carrying any warmth! So that means another indoor day with the kids.... While they were watching a movie I managed to get 10 mins alone in my study to create a card for my nephew who is turning 12 next week. He is an avid Fremantle Dockers fan (Go Freo!) so I wanted to make him a card he'd love. Plus I didn't have a whole lot of time!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It was fairly simple to make, here is a list of what I've used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Card base - Elegant Eggplant cardstock 15cm x 21cm scored in half.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Layer 1 - Elegant Eggplant DSP cut to 10cm x 14.5cm (after I had positioned the cardstock to create a V pattern)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Layer 2 - Vellum cut to 9.5cm x 15cm. Adhered with glue dots in each corner, disguised with candy dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Stamp set used is Number of Years with the numbers and words stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink on Whisper White cardstock. I embossed the word Birthday on Elegant Eggplant cardstock with white embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Big Shot accessories I have used are the Lots of Labels Framelits and the banner was cut out from the Large Numbers Framelits die.</div>

Today I got to make a card for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. This week they have a colour challenge - Night of Navy, Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand. I really liked this colour combination - thanks Shawn de Oliveira!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sentiment is from the stamp set Tin of Cards. I think this is perhaps my most used stamp set for sentiments! The polka dot patterned paper is from the 2015-2017 In Colour Designer Series Paper stack. My Sahara Sand cardstock has been run through my Big Shot with my Starburst Die. Love that die!!</div>

Hi there! Om my goodness I have just noticed it's been nearly three weeks since I have posted on here! Life is so busy 😢 with not nearly enough crafting!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did however manage to make this card over the last few days! Yes! Sad hey... it took me three days of here and there to finish a card. Very frustrating!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it is:</div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card was made with the Global Design Project colour challenge. I really love this colour combination. It's Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Island Indigo. If you don't recognise the 'seaweed' stamp, I have used the Jelly Fish stamp upside down! I saw a card on pinterest with this stamp used as seaweed and thought it was a genius idea!</div>

The particular card I chose to CASE today was a no-brainer! I knew I wanted to use the Botanical Builder Die as I had not used the vine die before! My other stipulation I had was a clean and simple card because I needed to make a sympathy card. I'm sure when you see Dena's amazing card, you'll understand what I mean!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my card. I went with a basic colour pallet as I really wanted the flower and leaves to pop. Also this was the first time I've used that vine die so I decided to keep it pretty simple!</div>

Here is the inside of my card. I've left it plain with just the sentiment from the stamp set. This card is for a friend who lost his wife to Mesothelioma last week so I didn't want to overdo the inside. Plus, my hubby will want lots of room to write.</div>

All of these stamp sets are remaining current in the new and soon-to-be-released 2016-2017 Annual Cataloge. I use these a lot so have defiantly gotten my monies worth! The flower has been cut out with my Big Shot using the Botanical Builder Framelits Die.</span></div>
