Jill & Gez Go Crafting 27th April 2020

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator


Welcome to Jill & Gez Go Crafting.  Every other Monday I will share 3 projects from my good friend  Jill AKA Paper Daisy Crafting. I really hope you go and visit her blog and watch her videos on YouTube. I have picked 3 amazing projects to share with you, I am sure you will love them too :-)

Jill & Gez Go Crafting with Stampin Up 2nd March



Just in case you are new to my blog let me introduce Jill she is on the right of this photo (I am on the left). She has a lovely Blog which I am sure you will want to check out once you see the projects I have chosen to show you.

This weekend Jill & I took part in 2 blog hops, yes we do seem to do a lot of them!  So I am going to  those with you plus the 4th blog hop from 2 weeks ago.

Project 1

First up is the the colour change from the Colour Combo blog hop. I do prefer this colour palette. Bermuda Bay goes so well with the purple shades. Such a great design.




Project 2

Next is the InspireInk blog hop with the theme  'just because'. Jill has used the scalloped edge notecards for these cards. I love how she has attached a strip of DSP on the bottom inside of the card so it shows below the scolloped edge. The daisy is just stunning punched from vellum and the leaf is just perfect poking out. 

Project 3

And finally we have the Ink Stamp Share blog hop which was another colour challenge. The 4 colours were Rococo Rose, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron. Like a lot of people on the hop Jill has chosen to create a floral card. Jill also used the same stamp set as me, The Beautiful Bouquet. We will both be very sad to see this set retire.

I hope you enjoyed the 3 projects I chose and I hope you will go and check out Jill's Blog, she also has video tutorials for each of these projects as well.



Happy Crafting :-)
