Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest: Jeanette Egemann

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Jeanette Egemann - we are thrilled to have Jeanette join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her .

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

To the left you'll see Jeanette's card that I have chosen to CASE. I was attracted to the design (the strip of pattern with the circular greeting) and the two-tone effect of the stamped pink flowers on the lighter pink cardstock.

The coloured decoration is all one layer with the circular greeting adhered on top.

Apart from the colour, I changed things up a bit by stamping the decorative strip as just one layer and adding a die-cut greeting.

I masked off a portion of card and sponged it with Soft Sky ink. Then I stamped the floral image (I think they look like gum nuts?) with Pacific Point ink.

Having removed the masks, I stamped the decorative strip from Floral Phrases along one side in Pacific Point ink. Then, using masks to protect the white and blue areas, I sponged on some Sahara Sand ink. I used a ruler and Sahara Sand Stampin' Write Marker to add the line on the left side of the blue strip.

A little bit of bling can never be a bad thing!

I cut some Sahara Sand cardstock with a circular Stitched Shapes framelit and layered a circle of Whisper White cardstock on top of it. I cut some Pacific Point cardstock with one of the Lovely Words thinlits and then trimmed the word to fit on top of the circle and glued it in place. The last step was to add some Rhinestones.

The base card is Pacific Point with a layer of Sahara Sand and then the decorative layer on the top.

I hope you've enjoyed this card and I welcome your comments.

Carousel Birthday Horse

I've never had a stomach for fun fair rides - except I do still have a soft spot for the good old carousel! I used to love going around in circles on one of those painted horses! So this stamp set gives me an enjoyable feeling of nostalgia.

This image brings back fond memories of carousel rides at the local fun fair

I think the combination of colours and the cupcake shapes on this piece of paper from the Cupcakes & Carousels pack, would make this card ideal for a young girl - or maybe someone young at heart with a nostalgia for carousels!

Thank you for visiting.

Carousel Birthday

This is a card that evolved! After the Christmas rush, I made myself tidy and clean my craft room (I even finally got around to painting the ink storage units that I bought a couple of years ago!). Part of the resolution involved using up the growing pile of extras and rejects - things that hadn't quite made it into previous projects and had been cluttering the end of my table. Such had been the fate of the pretty pink shimmery sunburst until now.

Using up a spare sunburst in pink glimmer paper

It was the work of minutes! I stamped the carousel in Basic Black onto a square of Crumb Cake and cut a Basic Black mat for it before round cornering.

With markers, I added a touch of Basic Gray to the legs of the crousel and Melon Mambo to the cupcakes. I then added some sequins to go with the glimmer paper. The sequins on the cupcakes are from the Brights Sequins Collection and the larger sequin in the centre is from the Good Vibes Project Life Accessory Pack.

I stamped the greeting in Basic Black onto Crumb Cake and cut it out with a square Stitched Shapes framelit, then added a Basic Black mat.

A brightly coloured horse relieves the starkness of the inside of the card

Inside the card, I used a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that was already trimmed. It's smaller than I would normally use but, as it turns out, I don't mind the larger border!

To offset the large area of black, I stamped the horse in the corner and coloured it bright colours with the Watercolour Pencils and an Aqua Painter.

Thank you for your visit.

Santa's Sleigh Highlight

I still have a pile of leftovers, having demolished the Christmas Table Favours after everyone had left! This card uses another one of the Santa's Sleighs currently sitting on my table and I was quite happy with the way it turned out.

Stampin Up, #thecraftythinker, Christmas Card, Xmas, Santa's Sleigh, Elegant card, Stampin Up Australia Demonstrator, Stephanie Fischer, Sydney NSW

While not completely traditional, the colours are elegant and go well together

I needed the circle to be a little larger than the largest of the Layering Circles framelits, so I turned to the circular die in the Sliding Star Framelits set. That left me with a circular frame and a smaller circle that I've saved for future projects.

The piece of Sahara Sand cardstock behind the sleigh is embossed with Softly Falling embossing folder. The greeting is from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set. I stamped it in Night of Navy ink on Sahara Sand cardstock and cut it out with an oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits.

The top blue layer is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals and the sleigh is just a little bit higher because it's popped up on Foam Adhesive Strip.

Thank you for visiting.
