Kre8tors Blog Hop : Sympathy
Today I'm back with my fellow Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, sharing our creativity globally through our Kre8tors Blog Hop group. This months theme is 'Sympathy'. Unfortunately, losing a loved one is something everyone can relate to. This hop isn't meant to be sad though as we are all creating special to remember those lost but not forgotten.I think at times like this, flowers can say it all. What better combination than the Varied Vases stamp and punch bundle...

COLOUR COMBO BLOG HOP – July 2018
Hi and welcome back for another hop around the globe with Stampin' Up! Demos round the world, for our next Colour Combo challenge.For my project today, I wanted to get messy with some inking techniques to create a background.

Smooch a piece of Thick Whisper White card in the inks,...
