Valentines Day Blog Hop

Welcome to another fun Crafty Collaboration Blog hop with demonstrators from around the world. Todays theme is Valentines Day. I went through my current stash and don't have many stamp sets that lend themselves to the idea of valentines but I did find several die sets to use for my card.

Supplies:

Pattern Party DSP

Cardstock - Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Petal Pink

Dies - Floral Gallery, Give it a Whirl, Tailor Made Tags

Stamp - Hydrangea Haven

The finished card is bright and fun, with very minimal stamping but uses some die sets that may not have been designed with Valentines day in mind.

Thanks for popping along to our hop, don't forget to check in on the other projects and leave some comments.

Happy Stamping,

Rachael xx

Stamping with friends Valentines blog hop

Hi and welcome to my blog post for the Stamping with friends valentines theme. I’m so excited to be sharing my card, not because it’s using a typical valentines products but more so because here in Australia, we don’t tend to celebrate as big as other parts of the world. That is why I decided to do an atypical valentines card using the fabulous new celebrations stamps that Awesome Otters.

I’ve teamed up this cute little otter image, with some love hearts cup from the give it a whirl dissect. I also used some of the little tiny heart stamps from XXXXX. The papers I have used for this card more male orientated colours, and are from the Pattern Party Host DSP pack in the annual catalogue. They were on my desk when I first started the card and were really calling out for me to use for this non traditional feel.

Thanks for popping along to my blog today, you are headed to Robbie's blog next, click the link in the image below and check out how fabulous her project is.
