Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a Tic-Tac-Toe board to inspire us. I have chosen the top line – Distress, Blue, Bike. This was a real challenge as distress and vintage techniques don’t come easily to me. I am more of a clean and simple girl.

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing the paper piecing technique. This is one of my favourite techniques which is odd as I am not a big fan of fussy cutting, but it is so effective. I have used the Flowers Fair stamp set and the Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to make my card.
I created the Paper Pieced Flowers card using the following supplies:
Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side Secret Sea – 5⅜” by 3⅝” Basic White – 5¼“by 3½” Secret Sea – 2⅜” by ⅜ Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside Scrap Kintsugi Inspirations dsp
I mounted the large Flowers Fair stamp onto the plate of the Stampin’ Positioner, inked it up with Secret Sea ink and stamped it onto the 5¼“by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I also stamped the image onto the Stampin’ Positioner gird paper.

I used the Soft Sea Foam Blends Pens to colour in all the leaves.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper to make a paper pieced card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop
I selected the two patterns of Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper from my scraps. Taking one Cloud Cover pattern I cut it into smaller pieces, placed them over the relevant flowers, inked up the stamp and stamped down onto the scraps. The flowers were then fussy cut.
I repeated this step with the Petal Pink dsp and the smaller flowers and fussy cut them out.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on. I am sharing my first play with the gorgeous Berry Botanical Vellum, our June product of the month. I have used it with the Balloon Festoon stamp set and dies.
I created the Berry Botanical Balloons card using the following supplies:
Strawberry Slush card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞” on the short side Misty Moonlight – 5⅜” by 3⅝” Strawberry Slush – 2” by 1½” Misty Moonlight – 2½” by ½” Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside Scrap Berry Botanical Vellum, Basic White, Strawberry Slush and Misty Moonlight
Using the So Swirly Embossing Folder I embossed the 2” by 1½” piece of Basic White card and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Strawberry Slush card front.

I used the Balloon Festoon dies to die cut the second smallest balloon from the scrap of Berry Botanical Vellum. I die cut the same balloon from scrap Basic White card and adhered them together with a little Seal.

I die cut the smallest balloon from scrap Strawberry Slush card. Using Strawberry Slush ink, I randomly stamped the group of stars onto the die cut balloon.

From scrap Misty Moonlight card, I die cut the pair of balloon strings and added them to the bottom of each balloon with a rolled up Mini Glue Dot. The large balloon was added to the card front on Dimensionals and tucked the smaller balloon under the right side.

The sentiment, from the Banner Sayings was stamped in Versamark ink on the strip of Misty Moonlight card. I covered it with White Embossing Folder and set it using a Heat Tool. I punched it out using the Three Banner Punch and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
