Creative Expressions August 2014 Blog Hop - Peace On Earth


Welcome to the Creative Expressions
 August 2014 Blog Hop!

Hopefully you got here from Tracey's blog but, if you didn't, go to Creative Expressions News Blog!  to get to the starting point. The journey through the blogs will hopefully inspire you and there is the chance to win a fabby prize along the way! 

Peace on Earth 

These new Christmas designs from the Singles Range at Creative Expressions, include seven different stamps. As you will see from the various samples made by the Design Team for the Blog Hop, they do not just have to be used as they are but can be altered and interchanged to give lots of different options.

One randomly selected person commenting on this blog post before the closing date will win the following fabulous prize, which includes some of the new stamp designs.

This is the prize - comment on my blog and you could win this!


For my project, I used the Peace on Earth stamp set along with some of the pretty pearly swirls.

The fine border for the mount.
  • The image was then cut out and mounted onto Foundations White card stock with a 'barely-there' amount of white card showing. The borders on the stamp itself are quite narrow so I made my white mount about the same.
  • Next I moved on to the background for the card. This was a voyage of discovery! I am going to use this technique again! I took a piece of the same Cobalt card and ran it through the embossing machine using a small patterned embossing folder. I used the Spellbinder M-Bossabilities Simplicity folder. 
  • I intended to only gloss the tops of the embossing but got a little carried away and ended up clear embossing over the whole thing! You could do either.  Just swipe the embossing ink 'carefully' over the raised areas! I was a little heavy handed and was using a brand new ink pad! But the end result was pretty cool I think. I used Cosmic Shimmer Detail Clear. I cut the card down to suit the size of the white embossed stamped image.
  • The shiny blue background card was then stuck onto the card base with Cosmic Shimmer Glue (boy how I     L-O-V-E     this glue!!). I left it to dry under some thing heavy to make sure the embossed card stuck truly flat. The CS glue is perfect for this sort of job but a little bit of weight just helped with the now very thick card especially at the corners!
  • The main white image was then stuck to the base card. I used white card as before and kept the border to a minimum again.

Shiny! Use your pearls exactly how you want.
Cut them to fit.
  • To finish I used a variety of bits from the Creative Expressions self adhesive swirls in pearl. Now being the frugal crafter that I am, and because you can, I cut the swirls to suit the space. I will have used some left over bits from other projects and cut into some new ones to get the coverage I wanted.  It is hard for me to say what I used exactly but you can be quite 'clever' with these self adhesive pearls.
So there we have it, a pretty little card featuring these new fantastic stamps. Hope you have enjoyed my blog today. I will be back on Monday with my Monday Make for Creative Expressions.
