Stamp Time Somewhere

One Stamp At A Time - Last Minute Santa - Stampin' Up! More Than Autumn

Hello!!!!

Welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - Last Minute Santa. This month we have all created some fun last-minute Christmas ideas for you.

These little Hot Cocoa wraps have been a long-time favorite of mine and there are so many fun ways you can do them. One thing I really love is that each one only takes a half sheet of cardstock (8.5" x 5.5"). This time I went right back to my go-to this season, More Than Autumn paired with the amazing Take a Bow Paper.

 

They are so easy to make, when I embossed them with the Plaid Embossing Folder, I was able to easily use the lines created to help fold the paper around the packet. I then wrapped a piece of Granny Apple Green around it and added the main label. Easy Peasy!!! This Bundle paired with this DSP makes it so easy to create fun Christmas projects!!!

 

Make sure to check out all of the great projects that we have to share with you today, hopefully they help spark your creativity.

 

Have a fantastic day!!!

Creation Station - Christmas Tradtions - Hot Cocoa with Stampin' Up!s More Than Autumn Stamp Set

 Hi Stamping Friends!

I sure hope that this finds you well today! I'm not doing too shabby here. So much going on and a lot of bigger life changes, but definitely still feeling Blessed. 

As we put a wrap on the Fall holidays and enter into Winter and all of the wonderfulness that comes with that. I know in our home we have a few Christmas traditions, so I was so happy to see this month's Creation Station theme - Christmas Tradtions!

One of our traditions is DEFINITELY Hot Cocoa, and I decided to use that as my inspiration for this project.

I am so totally head over heels for the More Than Autumn Stamp Set and really want one for EVERY season! LOL

This little box holds a packet of Ghiradelli Peppermint Cocoa and a little spot for a gift card and note.

This project uses the More Than Autumn Stamp Set, the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper stack, a variety of Stampin' Blends and Ribbons. 

I am very excited to see how the rest of the team showcases their traditions - what about you?

I would love to know - what traditions does your family have?

Up next is the amazing Elizabeth Price - I KNOW she will have something amazing.

If you're looking to purchase any of the items that you would need to make this project, I invite you to visit my online store - 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a wonderful day!

#tgifc494 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Layers of Beauty

Hello!

Welcome back. I am going to make this quick as I am up late (Thursday night) - and tomorrow is my 21st Anniversary! Yikes! Well, this sketch ended up crossing my desk at the perfect time though. I knew it would be a great one for an anniversary card!

I followed it pretty closely. I didn't quite cut my image exactly where I wanted to, but it still turned out pretty I think.

I had fun coloring the flowers to resemble our wedding flowers. They were hydrangeas, but it still has that same look!

Thank you so much for stopping by today - I truly appreciate it!

#tgifc493 Color Challenge

Hi there!!!

So happy to have you joining me today!!! It's been awhile since I've had a chance to blog any of my TGIF projects, but I thought that this one coordinated with the other day's Creation Station card, I would definitely add it here!

I don't have a ton of supplies at the moment, and you know what? That's OK!!! I love having to think outside of the box sometimes, and I am always grateful for the Mini Alphabet Dies, so I can personalize things, or come up with some different, fun sayings! Like this one!

So - here's what I ended up creating - 

I sketched out her shape on the backside and just quickly cut her out of some Very Vanilla Cardstock. I thought she needed a sweet little bow, and the Black and Vanilla Gingham Ribbon was just perfect for this! I also gave her a little sprinkling of Wink of Stella.

What do you think? I think she's darling!

Thanks again for stopping by - I truly appreciate it!

 

Creation Station - Into the Night

 Hi friends!!! Welcome back!!!

I am so excited to share this fun card with you that I created for this month's Creation Station theme - Into the Night.

I definitely didn't go spooky really, and it's not might not invoke thoughts of evening or nighttime, but cute little ghosties are a nighttime thing, right? 

I wasn't inspired by any of the stamp sets that I had on hand, so I turned to the amazingly versatile Mini Alphabet Dies, and a little freehand cutting.I drew myself some little ghost shapes and drew their faces on, adding some Black & Vanilla ribbon bows to dress them up. 

I think they are adorable - what do you think?

 

I am excited for today's hop and look forward to seeing everyone's great projects! Make sure that you check them all out!

Next up is Julie Beltramo!

 

Have a fantastic day!!!

 

OSAT Blog Hop Find A Sketch - Stampin' Up! Cutest Cows!

Oh boy, it has been a while!

If you are new here - WELCOME, and if you are shocked to finally see me creating and blogging again - WELCOME BACK!!! I was so excited to see the wonderful OSAT Team was going to kick off this blog hop again after a bit of a hiatus. I needed the kick in the pants to put other things aside and take some time to CREATE!

This month's theme was to use the sketches shown on page 22 of the current Stampin' Up! catalog and create from one of those! I actually think I tend to shy away from circles in my designs, so what did I do this time? Use one. Go figure!

I am still acquiring from this latest catalog, but one set I do have is Cutest Cows - and oh, aren't they??? I decided to make a birthday card and little box to hold a few cookies in. I think when I deliver it, I will add a little bottle of milk. Won't that be cute?

(I don't have a pattern for the box, I pretty much just drafted it to fit the cookies)

 

For these projects I used - The Cutest Cows Stamp Set, The Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Pecan Pie Cardstock, 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim, Stylish Shapes Dies, and of course my favorite Stampin' Blends Markers.

We hope you enjoy today's hop, and are so glad you decided to join us again!

 

 

Thank You so much for coming by today - Love y'all - have a fantastic day!

P.S. Just in case you needed the reminder like I did - I saw this quote the other day and felt like I should share it!

Creation Station - Heat Embossing - Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings

Hi there! Long time no see. I've been stamping, just not posting a lot lately, but I am hoping that will change soon. I loved this month's Creation Station theme, so I really wanted to jump in! 

 

 It's been a while since I've done heat emboss resist, but the Rays of Light Background stamp was absolutely perfect for this technique!

 In order to get this look, I stamped the image in Versamark Ink on Watercolor Paper and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder (you can use Clear too). After that was done, I used the Water Painters and re-inkers right on top of the image, then wiped off any residual water, leaving the stamped and embossed area white, and the color only in the background. I also used heat embossed the sentiment.

 I am so happy to have been able to join in this month. Make sure that you check out the rest of the Hop - it NEVER disappoints!

 Next up is the amazingly talented Elizabeth Price!

 

Thank you again for joining me!

Creation Station - MonoChromatic - Stampin' Up! - Bird's Eye View

 Hello! I am happy to be back with another card for this month's Creation Station Blog Hop! I have been stamping a little more lately, now just to get back into actually blogging and posting on social media a little more! LOL. Baby steps. Let's start here!

 This month's theme is Monochromatic Cards. I decided to focus on a couple of the new colors that I hadn't really used much yet - Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve, so essentially PINK. Made me think of that scene in Steel Magnolias. 

"My colors are Blush and Bashful"

"Her colors are Pink and Pink"

 I am still working with Bird's Eye View. I have a pretty limited selection still, and this set is just awesomely versatile! I have been loving using it, probably because I really love coloring, and it's a perfect set for that.

  Enjoy checking out the hop today - I can't wait to see what colors everyone chooses. Next up is the fabulous Mikaela Titherdige!

Thank You so much for coming by today - Love y'all - have a fantastic day!

Creation Station - Ombre Blending - Stampin' Up! Alphabet A La Mode

 Yes... you're seeing things right. If you've been a follower of mine for any length of time (maybe the last 15 years or so...) you might have noticed I took a rather LONG hiatus from stamping and blogging. Life happened; I needed a break. Our family is fine. It's actually really good. I just needed to walk away for a while. I recently had some time to myself again, and thought I would give it another shot. I had tried over the last few months, but it just didn't feel right. This time. It felt right. I didn't stamp a TON, but I did get 4 or 5 cards made, and I am hoping that it was the kick start I needed.

 I decided to start where I have always advised others to start when looking for inspiration. CHALLENGES! This month's Creation Station Challenge was a GREAT fit for me!

 For this card, I used the wonderfully versatile Alphabet A La Mode Dies. I kind of veered off a little bit. I meant to keep it to all blues and greens for my Ombre Effect, but I kind of went more with a spectrum blend. But hey, you can still see the different Ombres...wait... yeah... I meant to do that, let's go with that! LOL

 I LOVE how they POP on that Basic Black background, don't you? I think it turned out to be a very simple design, with very striking results!

 I am glad I didn't walk away completely. I am still (technically) a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and I will ALWAYS be a creative. Someday I won't be my only customer, someday I would love to build my business back to sharing what I love - both again online and in person. I'm allowing myself grace to get there at my pace. Most of the things I will be creating might focus on the same handful of products, as I don't have a lot right now, but that's OKAY... that's the fun part of creativity - working with what ya got!

 Ok, sorry - enough babbling. Please go check out the full hop and leave some love in the comments for everyone who is sharing their he(art) with you today! 

 

 Seriously...thank you. I guess I have to start back somewhere. If you would like to place a Stampin' Up Order with me - you can do so HERE - I would TRULY TRULY appreciate it!!!

 

Love y'all - have a fantastic day!

 

#tgifc394 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Garden

 Hello, happy Friday! 

    I've got a great TGIF Sketch for you today! I thought about grabbing a set for fall, or even Christmas, but I decided to grab an old favorite, Dragonfly Garden! I think it ended up working great for the sketch.

 We are going to call my card this week a loose interpretation. It absolutely was inspired by the sketch. 

 Sometime last year I think, I created another card where I stamped the wildflower image over a plaid pattern, so I thought I would revisit the idea, and I still love how it turned out. One of the things that I love about this card is that it's not a hard card to make or recreate! There's not a lot of supplies, and it's still pretty!

OSAT Blog Hop Festive Season - Jingle Jingle Jingle style

Hello! Welcome back my friend. It's time for me to jump in on this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop. Our theme for this go around is "Festive Season" It left a lot open to our own interpretation, but I chose to work on a cute little Christmas ensemble with one of my favorite sets from the Stampin' Up! July-December catalog - Jingle, Jingle, Jingle.... I immediately fell in love with it. I have NO IDEA why I hadn't used it yet.

I figured that a card and a little gift would be a great idea for this theme. I combined the adorable Jingle, Jingle, Jingle with the stamps from this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit, and well - I am over the moon with how they turned out.

I started with the card. I knew I wanted to use that sweet little Santa, and it just kind of took off from there, and I love how it turned out.

I loved adding all the fun little touches on this! The embossing, the shimmery, iridescent snowflake, the Iridescent Rhinestones, the sparkly ribbons and his beard, mustache, and hat trim are covered in Wink of Stella for some serious sparkle!

 The cocoa holder is really easy. It's just a regular card, with the top half of the front cut off! Add coordinating elements and you are good to go!

 

Make sure you take a few moments today to check out the whole hop, I can't wait to see what everyone has created!

Creation Station - Fancy Folds - Kindest Gnomes

Hello!!! I am so happy to be hopping with the Creation Station today. Seems like it's been awhile. Life can get in the way sometimes, but it's always nice to be able to come back to something that you love. For me, it's stamping!

This month's theme is using Fancy Folds. The one I did isn't SUPER fancy, but it's a great one for using up and showing off all the wonderful double sided Designer Series Papers in your stash!

 It starts with a piece of Designer Series Paper cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score and fold at 4 1/4" like a standard card, then fold the front of the card back at 1". By doing this with our fabulous Designer Series Papers, you get the best of both sides! I do suggest backing it on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of coordinating cardstock to give it more stability. Look how cute you can dress the inside too.

 You can even use the extra Designer Series Paper to dress up your envelope!

(OMG I can not get enough of these adorable gnomes!!! They are just about perfect!!!)

 Please continue in the hop to the fabulously talented Elizabeth Price.

#tgifc393 Color Challenge, With My Favorite Gnomies

 Hello, happy Friday! So happy to be back here posting with the TGIF Challenges Team this week. We always kick off our month with a color challenge, and I admit, at first I was NOT fond of this one. NOW I want to color everything with these colors!!!!

 Being as I didn't know what I wanted to do, I figured I would just start coloring and see where it lead - and ! could not be much happier with the results. I started coloring, then got everything cut out. I kept trying to arrange them on a card, and just couldn't do it. I couldn't risk these sweet little labors of love being tossed in the trash...

 So I created this!!! I figured I could hang it up and love it, and not worry about it getting tossed aside! Now it gets daily smiles!

 I colored the Gnomes with my go-to Stampin' Blends, then created the saying using the "Sweet" from Sweetest Cherries and Alphabest stamp sets.

#tgifc391 Inspiration Challenge - Stampin' Up! Penguin Place

 Hello there! Happy Friday y'all!!! I sure that you are having a great day!!! I am so happy to be able to bring you my take on this week's #TGIFChallenge. It's an inspiration challenge and I PROMISE I used the inspiration graphic when I designed my card.

 Hopefully it isn't too hard to see how I was inspired...

You can see it, right? Well, when I first started, I imagined it as the backs of the penguins, like little silhouettes, but I wasn't sure it would be super obvious that they were the penguins, so I figured I would make them facing. I am so glad I did, because they are just the cutest little things. 

 I LOVE this little sentiment. I stamped the companion stamp to it inside...

 I just thought it would be a cute card. I love how the little girl penguin turned out. Instead of stamping their eyes, I used the Matte Dots, and I LOVE how it looks. Of course I had to add little lashes to the little girl penguin. 

 Ok, I might not get a good grade on following directions this week, but I still love the card! LOL
