Water Colour Wings For Eureka Stampers Blog Hop


It's time to join in the Eureka Stampers New Catalogue blog hop & that means one thing NEW STAMPS!   You might have just hopped over from Tracy's blog or you might be starting here.  Either way, welcome aboard!

This week I received a small shipment of new stamps.  I could only order a few stamp sets, but what to chose?!   Oh the decisions.   I whittled it down to a few of my 1st Ooohs in the catalogue - Watercolour Wings, Wild About Flowers & the hostess set A Whole Lot Of Lovely.  They will do nicely thanks!

I bought the bundle for the Watercolour Wings set & saved myself 15%!  Did you know there are lots & lots of bundles in this catalogue?  Well worth looking before you decide on a set as these will save you money.

I needed a gift card holder recently for a friend's birthday & I wanted an unusual looking one that I had not tried before.  This one is a slide out card holder.  My version here doesn't have an actual holder, but I used the sticky stuff on the back of the card to stick it to the white base card.

These butterflies are fun to create. The colour options are infinite, however I chose a nice neutral soft look of Mint Macaron & Crumb Cake & used the new rejigged version of the In Colour DSP stack.

I have only used two inks on this butterfly, Mint Macaron & Crumb Cake.  To get this look I have included a stamping guide.

Well that's it from me today.  Next stop on the hop is …. Janine  I bet she has something amazing to share with us!  




Thanks for stopping by

Welcome To The Eureka Stampers Blog Hop!













Hi & welcome to our very 1st Eureka Stampers Blog Hop!  I was so excited to be able to join in the fun with such a talented group of ladies.   As part of this Blog Hop all of our blogs are linked together, so that no matter where you start, as long as you keep clicking on the link for the next blog, you'll eventually work yourself all the way around, and back to where you started.  Hopefully you'll be inspired by all the amazing projects that you see, and perhaps leave a comment on each of the blogs, so we know you were there, and how you liked the projects.


For this Hop, we chose to showcase lots of NEW products from the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue.   If you were following the links, you came to my blog from Rose Packer's Blog – isn't she amazing?!  I love Rose's work, and her fresh eye for creating.
My first project is a combination the Moonlight DSP Paper Stack, the gorgeous new In Colours -  Hello Honey & Blackberry Bliss & "Hello There!" a very cute new Hostess stamp set on page 237 of the 2014 -2015 Australian Catalogue.   
I have made a set of 3 cards using a base of Sahara Sand.   I chose to use 3 different embossing folders to create 3 different, yet similar cards.  




Do you have a favourite?  

To go along with this card set I also created 3 little matching bags, each one is made from 1 sheet of the Moonlight DSP paperstack.  I originally saw this idea on YouTube & just had to give it a try. 


I have used the cute little In Colour Clothespins to help keep the 2 basic little bags closed.  I have provided the template (below) for making the bags which hold a small chocolate or Freddo frog.  They are perfect sized for a table gift or treat.  As you can see I stepped up the middle one which is a little more intricate.  I used the scallop topper punch as a flap closure, but the other two were left open.  



And here they all are together.  I love that our range of products all match and how easy it is to make a whole party or theme from just a few core products.



I hope that you've enjoyed the projects that I've shared with you today!  I'd really appreciate it if you have the time to leave a comment, and let me know what you think.  
Next you'll be heading over to see the talents of Heather McCarthy's Blog– I know you'll love her projects!  I hope you'll come back and join us again next time….until then, Happy Stamping!
