Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! Blog Hop - Stamped background

 


Hello and Welcome to Lovescrappin with Tina Parsons.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global April 2025 blog hop. Thank you so much for joining us. This month was my turn to choose a theme and I love to make my own stamped backgrounds.

You may have started at the end of the hop at Michele"s Craft Cottage .

I love to see what I can do with my stamps, so get them out and play along.



I got out some older word stamp sets and now we have some new ones in the Online Exclusives, so there is a lot to choose from.
If you use an A4 sheet of card stock and stamp all over using different stamps and ink colours you can make the background fit your photos. 

Do some 1st and 2nd generation stamping to use as fillers with script & splatter stamps. Here are some examples to get you started, then tear some A4 colour cardstock to line up with your white A4 you stamped, so easy. (see the toadstool layout)

    



Stamp the base images in sets of 3 or a triangle pattern to make it pleasing the eye, start with bigger images first then work down to smaller images.


Then add script and splatter stamps, use a black marker pen to do some doodle lines around the outer edge of the A4 cardstock so some sponging if you like as well.



Here is a close up of the stamping and embellishing. 

Here is another layout I have done, stamping the bottom section of the 12x12.
I used a mix of new and old supplies.



Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed my take on a stamped background. Hop on over to Handmade by Julia Quinn  to see what she has created and then continue along for more inspiration.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Sketch & use wet or dry Embossing

 


Hello and Welcome to Lovescrappin with Tina Parsons.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global December 2024 blog hop. Thank you so much for joining us. This month our challenge is from Sharon Dalton, to create a layout using a sketch and dry or wet Embossing. Can't wait to see what everyone does with this one. Sharon is on a well deserved holiday, I am sure she is having a great time and will be following along.




Here is my layout, using the above sketch and embossing folders.




 I used 4 embossing folders and punched circles from them. 
I used circle punches as most people own circle punches but you can also use circle dies.
The Spotlight on Nature dies would be perfect for this sketch too.



Emboss and punch circles


These are the sizes I used, I punched some templates out to see what I needed.


I like to do a dry run to see how it will look.


Close up of the embossed circles.


I used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and  one of the new Stamp sets from the upcoming Mini, Documenting The Day.
I inked the word DAY and KISSED (stamped) it onto the embossing folder, then 
stamped it onto white cardstock to give it some texture.


Here is a close up look, and I used Stampin' Dimensionals to raise the word Day after I fussy cut it out.






I finished off by drawing dots around the circles for added interest and the 6x6 papers are from the Full of Life, its a great pack of paper full of bright colours and fun for all your scrapbooking layouts. I finished off embellishing with the new upcoming mini product called Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix (sequins)

Next up is Julia Quinn, take a look to see what she has done with the sketch and embossing.

 Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - TIC TAC TOE



Hello and Welcome to Lovescrappin with Tina Parsons.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global November 2024 blog hop. You may have just come from MazWood blog

This month we are playing along with Sherry Roth, she has chosen a TIC TAC TOE board. Choose a row of three to complete your layout. Follow the hop to see what everyone has done and we would love it if you left us a comment below.






My Layout uses Twine, Tags & it's a 2 page layout.



I love the fun colour of this Full of Life paper, I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies and the Mini Alphabet Dies. I did CASE this layout but unfortunately I can't find who I cased it from. So if you see this please leave me a comment and thank you for your inspiration.


I stamped the spoon from the Latte Love stamp set onto the paper and die cut it out and I used ink to make a two tone word (ADVO). The tag came from the new Online Exclusives Greetings of the Season dies.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop - Scraplift your favourite layout


 

Hello and Welcome to Lovescrappin with Tina Parsons.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global October 2024 blog hop. You may have just come from Melva Peters blog. Thank you so much for joining us. This month  I have the privilege of choosing the theme and I love to Scraplift pages, so I choose to Scraplift a favourite layout. I found one in the Scrapbooking Global Facebook group.  I don't always have the time to come up with my own designs and there are so many talented people out there. So let's take a look.



Back in August I saw a beautiful layout done by Pamela Bohn in our Facebook group, and I knew I had to scraplift it. I did a double page and used papers in my stash to make the 2nd layout.  See Pamela's layout at the bottom of this post.


I used 6x6 papers and the new Ephemera packs, I love the flowers and the titles that come in the packs. There are 3 different ones to choose from in the annual catalogue. I love how I can match the flower colours to the paper.
 
I found paper in my stash from older collection to match the flower colours I had left.





This is Pamela's layout, I love how she did the sewing on her layout. I choose not to do this and I used only 2 photos. It is great we can change things to suit our photos. Thank you for the inspiration Pamela.

Next you will visit Sue McDonald.

Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! Blog Hop - Anything Goes

 


Hello and Welcome to Lovescrappin with Tina.

You may have just joined me from Julia Quinn's blog.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global September 2024 blog hop.
This month Sharon has chosen the theme Anything Goes!
I can't wait to see what everyone has done.





I Choose to use the new Regal Flora Stamp and Die set from the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue,  When I get a new set I like to have a play and see what I can create.
I made this wreath layout, using the leaf stamp to make the wreath, using Pretty Peacock ink. 



Then the dot stamp with Smokey Slate ink around the wreath.


I love this label die, it cuts two shapes in one cut. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the label and stamped the dot stamp onto the tag label. I used Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Bubble Bath & Pretty Peacock inks to make the flower clusters.




I used the Metallic Enamel Effects Basics to add colour in the centre of the flowers.

I tucked the boarder die cut behind the photo mats.
