Fabulous Fridays @ 5'o'clock, 30 August 2019

Hello everyone, it's been over a week since my last post and I do apologise. I've been up at my father's again, taking him for appointments and helping sort out his banking.  He didn't have any kind of card to be able to pay bills over the phone. So I got that sorted quick smart. He only had an eftpos card. How he's survived all this time with just one of those and an old fashioned check book is beyond me.  He agreed that sometimes he didn't want to get in his car and drive all the way to a post office just to pay a bill. I'm feel much relief that we got this sorted.



So what's new with Stampin' Up!?  Oh my goodness, wait til you see this year's holiday catalogue. At first I was hard pushed to want much from it but the more I flicked through it, the more I saw.  I have been sharing a few projects in the last month. However, today I'm sharing with you a card I created using Annual catalogue products and I am very happy with it indeedydoo!   Firstly, I did check out the amazing Youtube clip Stampin' Up! created to make those gorgeous layered daisy flowers on page 23 of the annual catalogue. Have you seen it yet?  If not here it is...

The Daisy Lane stamp & punch bundle is a great bundle to have AND it coordinates so well with the original Daisy Delight stamp set and larger daisy punch too!

For my project this week, I made one layered daisy as per the above video clip. I selected nice bright colours, Terracotta Tile & Pineapple Punch. My layered background is from the Perennial Essence Designer Series paper pack which I've run through my die cutting machine with a new folder coming in the Holiday Catalogue, called Hammered Metal.  I so love this embossing folder. I've been watching out for one that embosses like this for years so it was one of the first things I ordered with my pre-order items!  I did stamp my daisy stem and the leaves first though, using Mossy Meadow ink.My 'Smile' sentiment was stamped in Terracotta Tile then I punched it out using the Everyday Label punch, trimming it down to the size it is. I added a strip of the Woven Threads trim along the bottom.  Notice what I did?  I pulled the thread from the bottom of this trim to make it look like tassels. I didn't throw out that bit of thread either. I used it to make the little bow underneath the sentiment. Waste not, want not!   It's amazing trim, do get some!

I hope you enjoyed this creation. Remember, my online store is open 24/7 so you can shop any time of the day or night!

happy stamping, colouring & creating!

Thursday's Thoughts, 29 August 2019

Well good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good day!

A short but sweet post today to say hello and thank you all for following along with me in my little world of all things paper crafting with a sprinkling of life at the affectionately named 'Hampson's Hovel'.

I can't believe we are almost at the end of August too.  It's been a full on year so far and there's no sign of it letting up. In fact, it's only going to get busier!  Ben's wedding is 94 days away (or is it 93 now?) and I've finished making all the wedding favour boxes.  Now to mould those chocolate frogs and fill the bean boxes too. Ah, having a Hogwarts themed wedding has been a lot of fun to work on.  They loved the invitations I created for them which I can finally share with you now that they've all been posted out!

[gallery ids="1549,1550" type="rectangular"]

I had the brilliant idea of making them look somewhat like a 'howler'. If you've seen the Harry Potter movies, you'll know that Ron Weasley's Mum sent him one whilst they were in the great hall one time.  I loved that idea and so did the happy couple so I ran with it somewhat.   I even found them a gorgeous Hogwarts brass seal which they stamped into dark red wax on the backs of their envelopes too!





Each invitation also had an 'RSVP' ticket like those ones from platform 9 3/4's, sorry, no photo of those as they are full of wedding details, so you'll just have to trust me on that.

Thanks for dropping by. Do pop back tomorrow as I have scheduled a Fabulous Fridays @ Five'o'clock post for you too.  Next Tuesday's also got a tutorial ready to go as well.

Til next time, remember

happy stamping, colouring & creating!

Tutu Tuesday, 20th August 2019

Hello my fellow tutu lovers, how gorgeous is this little number!  The colours kind of match the card I created for last Friday's FF@F'o'clock'ish blog post. Black, Coastal Cabana and white! Pretty as!

---

I've a couple of cards to share with you, no tutorial today, I've over done it with filming and creating lately so trying to stay away from my keyboard for a few days to give my hands a rest.

I've used brand new products and a new to me stamp set, Very Versailles.  I've my upline, Kylie Bertucci, for getting this stamp set into my collection!  I loved it but it wasn't on my current wish list.  I had another look and thought, oh yes, I NEED that set. I had a few flex points accrued so I got this stamp set, 3 of the re-inkers for the new metallic ink pads coming soon and  that gorgeous puff paint that'll be new too!





With this card I've used all three of the metallic colours, Celestial Copper, Silvery Shimmer & Golden Glitz.  Now this is also where I admit, I didn't buy the ink pads but only the re-inkers.  I had in my supplies drawer 3 brand new unopened, uninked full sized foam inkpads. The very same kind of inkpads the Delicata ones are.  So I thought well nothing ventured, nothing gained and I could always buy the inkpads if inking of the blank ones didn't work.  Oh my, it did and I'm soooooo happy with the results.  Don't miss getting these ink pads.  They are nothing like the old Encore Metallics that were around many years ago.  I had those and disliked them with a passion because they never really dried properly unless you put clear embossing powder over them & heat set them.  Biggest waste of my hard earned money.  They also tarnished, into the garbage they went years ago!

FF@F'o'clock'ish, 16thAugust2019!

Oh my goodness, wait til you watch the little video I've made to show this new product. Over the years I've used a few different brands of puff paint but wow, this new one coming next month by Stampin' Up! is the best.  You don't even have to wait for it to dry. Just apply it then hit it with your heat gun and puffffff ... it's like magic!

This week's creation I've used the Winter Woods stamp set from the current annual catalogue, stamped in Jet Black Stazon, water washed using a Coastal Cabana water colour pencil.  Then embellished with the new Snowfall Accents Puff Paint!   Check it out!
