Stamp Review Crew: In The Moment

 

Welcome to the latest Stamp Review Blog Hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from around the globe.   Every first and third Monday of the month we host a hop featuring a different stamp set.  This is a great way to see a bunch of projects in a variety of styles.  One stamp set,,, so many ideas!

We have the past hops archived on the Stamp Review Crew website.  Please click on the banner below to see all the creative goodness!

This time we are featuring the lovely line art stamp set In The Moment.   Soft and relaxing watercolors fit the mood of this set so well.  After using the Stitched with Whimsy dies I hand trimmed around the outside border.  For the background I used the Bricks and Mortar 3D embossing folder to add a rustic texture.  It is cut ever so slightly smaller than the Cinnamon Cider cardbase and is lightly sponged with smudges of Early Expresso ink.   

This closeup shows the pretty watercolor wash in the background and the ribbon detail.  I pulled threads from a length of Soft Succulent ribbon then layered a flower cut from the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper and a folded piece of the satin ribbon.

So glad you have stopped by!  To continue the hop please click on the buttons below to see more lovely In The Moment projects!

Stamp Review Crew: Gentle Waves Edition

 

Hello and welcome to the latest Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop!   Our international crew highlights one Stampin' Up stamp set on each blog hop.  Hops are the first and third Mondays of the month and are a great way to get lots of ideas for using a set!   Click on the banner below to see a complete list of Crew members and see all the past hops which we keep active.  So many creative things to see and enjoy!

 

We have a short and sweet blog roll for this edition and you may have just seen Cindy's gorgeous ideas.  If not be sure keep on hopping to see each stop.  

The Gentle Waves background stamp is our pick for this little hop.    I enjoy having a collection of background stamps as they add depth to a layer or card base.  

The background stamp is subtle with tone-on-tone Blackberry Bliss 
stamped on a Blackberry Bliss card base.  In person it shows much better.

The Sea Life Dies are unique in the way they make partial cuts giving 3-D results.

A bit of Metallic Mesh Ribbon peeking out looks like a delicate sea coral.

So glad you have stopped by!  Please continue with the hop to see Mike's great take on this stamp by clicking on the buttons below.
