Dreamweaver Woodware Week Day 4

Welcome back to the annual Dreamweaver and Woodware Christmas in August extravaganza week! Today is Day 4 of our blog hop! I hope you've been enjoying what the creations shared so far this week. I know I have.




 Want to win some prizes? All that you need to do is hop back and forth across the "pond" on each day, oohing and aaahhhing as you go, and leaving us plenty of holiday love. In return, you'll be entered to randomly win one prize package for a UK commenter, and a second prize package for a US commenter, featuring products distributed in the UK by Woodware...including Dreamweaver and Stampendous!



Prize includes four stencils, one die, and two stamps, selection may vary.

So on Monday I shared with you this cheery card using Dreamweaver paste with glitter:



And since I know there are some of you out there that still have not embraced the love of paste yet, I thought I'd share a similar card done using the double-glitter technique.

LL511 Noel Stencil
Do you have a preference over which one you prefer? Let me know, I'd love some feedback. And don't forget to stop by here on Saturday for the FINALE! I will be sharing a card that combines both stenciling and stamping! And Dreamweaver and Stampendous!

Remember, the products featured here can be purchased in the UK from stores listed on the Woodware UK site, and in the US from stores listed on the Dreamweaver Stencils site, or online at Stencil with Style.

Dreamweaver/Woodware Week Day 1

Welcome to the annual Dreamweaver and Woodware Christmas in August extravaganza week!

 Monday through Saturday we will be knocking your Christmas stockings off with fun and inspirational ideas for the upcoming holidays. 



 All that you need to do is hop back and forth across the "pond" on each day, oohing and aaahhhing as you go, and leaving us plenty of holiday love. In return, you'll be entered to randomly win one prize package for a UK commenter, and a second prize package for a US commenter, featuring products distributed in the UK by Woodware...including Dreamweaver and Stampendous!



Prize includes four stencils, one die, and two stamps, selection may vary.

Here's what I've created:



 The red background was created using Dreamweaver's LJ878 Snow Splatter stencil with original embossing paste and then covered with crystal glitter.

The  LL511 Noel stencil was silver paste-embossed and sprinkled with silver glitter. A red rhinestone was added to tie the colors together.

My life for the months of June and July has been nutso crazy. Between birthdays and graduations, weddings and family trips, I haven't had a single weekend day free since early May. So today, I thought I'd create a card that would take me away from all this craziness and just let me float away to a land of glitter and crafting!

Stampendous Cling Hot Air Trio CRP198
Stampendous Soaring Sentiments SSC1170
Dreamweaver Hot Air Balloon LL 3003
Dreamweaver Original Embossing Paste
Stewart Stamp & Stick Glue Pad
Stampendous Crystal Glitter


  1. Paste emboss Hot Air Balloon on aqua cardstock.  Set aside to dry.
  2. Stamp Hot Air Trio with Versamark on teach cardstock
  3. Stamp sentiment on patterned paper using black ink.
  4. Adhere patterned paper to card base. Embellish with ric rac.
  5. Realign stencil over pasted balloon and add color using pigment inks and stencil brush.
  6. Dab Stamp & Stick glue pad over colored image and heat set. Sprinkle on crystal glitter.
  7. Trim around pasted image and adhere to card with foam tape.
Very easy, somewhat quick and for just a few moments, took me to a place I haven't in a long time: the magical land of crafting and glitter!


Thanks for stopping by. And now head on over to the other bloggers posts.Remember today is the last day of the HOP so be sure to leave a comment so you can win one of the fabulous prize packages!

Summertime, Sparklers and S'more go to the Wedding

Did you know that although the phrase is "June Brides" that July is actually a more popular month for weddings than June! In my family that really runs true, me, my sister and brother were all married in July. And this weekend my niece is following suit! So while you're all reading this post, I'm off enjoying all the festivities with my family. It should be a wonderful weekend!

And so when creating this week's Summertime, Sparklers and S'more project, I couldn't help but play up the Wedding theme! And since blue (especially navy and royal) seem to be the wedding colors of the year, I just went for it.

I used the double glitter technique with the LJ924 Bride stencil to create the background and then using silver embossing posted, embossed the BRAND NEW LL3034 Your Wedding stencil.

Very clean and simple but still very pretty!

Now head on over to the Dreamers who are playing along with this week's challenge for more inspiration:

Dream It Up! 
Wendy Price
Lea Kimmel
Louise Healy
Stacey Rumsby
Terrece Siddoway
Caroline Duncan
Pam Hornschu

And be sure to stop by Monday for all the details on what looks to be a fabulous week of blog hopping featuring Dreamweaver stencils and Stampendous stamps and products!

Let's go to the beach!

Hello and welcome!

When I first heard the Dreamweaver July challenge was "Summertime, Sparklers, and S'more," I instantly thought of the beach and the new Dreamweaver Sandcastle stencil LL3033! And what better way to create a sandcastle than to use Tim Holtz's Distress Embossing Powders using the Double-glitter technique.

For on all the details on how to create this fun, summery card, please head over to the PaperCraft Planet Dreamweaver Thursday tutorial where I have done a complete tutorial. For now, sit back, relax and enjoy this card:

After you've soaked up all the sun you can, head on over to the other Dream Team blogs for some more Summertime, Sparklers and S'more:
