Georgie ~ Stampers With An Attitude (Blog Hop)

This month, our Stampers With An Attitude team is sharing Father's Day projects or a project created using the Georgie paper kit.     

If you have come here from Roxybonds, you are on the right path!  Blog Hopping is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one, or visit each blog from the list at the end of this post.    

Even though one of the papers in the Georgie kit is themed for babies, the other papers are great for any other use.  For this "quick to create" card, two of the Georgie papers are used along with a birthday image from the Stamps of Approval set.  Using the Artistry Cricut cartridge, it is easy to get the perfect shape for the sentiment.  Only other items needed are Slate cardstock, some Aqua Shimmer Trim and some white Enamel Gems to create this Winning Combination design from the Originals Card Confidence Program.       


Now "Hop" on over to Scrap Stamp Share for more artwork using Georgie papers, or Father's Day projects.

A "Wheelie" Cute Bicycle

Spent the day stamping with a friend and decided to create a card combining two different challenges. 

This week's RetroSketch #211 inspired me to use this "wheelie" adorable bicycle from the Enjoy the Ride stamp set, which will be available beginning May 1.  To combine the colors of the Color Dare #189, Hollyhock was used to stamp the sentiment, a piece of Thistle patterned paper was found in the Penelope kit, and a piece of Juniper paper from the Georgie kit.  Several different shades of the ShinHan Touch Twin markers as well as a silver Metallic Marker were used to color the bicycle.  A bit of Shimmer Trim and some Twine add a finishing touch.

Diffuse Your Artwork (Technique Blog Hop)

For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are using the new Embossing Diffusers which are now available from Close To My Heart.  There is both a Square and a Circle Diffuser. 

If you arrived from Show and Tell, with Michelle  blog, then follow along with the link at the bottom of this post to continue the Technique Blog Hop. 

A Diffuser allows you to leave a "blank" area on your cardstock when embossing.  For this card, the Scallop Embossing Folder was used along with the Square Diffuser, leaving a space to stamp an image from the Love My Cat stamp set.  A dotted paper from the Georgie kit was used for the background, with a bit of Whisper Twine and a Bitty Sparkle as embellishments.   Design of the card is based on Pattern #25 in Make It From Your Heart Volume 1.
