#tgifc298 Sketch Challenge - A little late (aka When Life throws you curveballs)

 Well, normally I would say Happy Friday, however I think today is Monday. I say I think, because I really mean life has been throwing some curveballs. Last Monday, after not feeling quite myself, and my brother receiving a positive Coronavirus test, I went and got tested myself - and received the same result. So, unfortunately I have been in bed for the last week. Then, last week our internet decided to stop working. So it's been fun around here, myself and my hubby in bed, three boys who were supposed to be distance learning, no internet....

 I HAD worked ahead a little. I haven't kept up, but I did get last Friday's TGIF card done. It would've been posted too, if it hadn't been for the internet outage! LOL

 I grabbed one of my favorite product bundles from the catalog, and flipped this little sketch on it's side. I sure hope y'all aren't sick of seeing sunflowers, because I TRULY love playing with them!

 I know some of the other cards I've been making with this flower recently were full of deep, rich, fall colors, but I was ready for something light, and bright, and SPRING-Y!!! I adore this color combination. I used one of my favorite Blends tricks on this one too - I used my Soft Seafoam Blends on my Soft Seafoam cardstock to deepen the color just a little bit on a set of the sprigs.

 This card is so cheery - I can't wait to feel better so that I can get some cards in the mail!!!

Creation Station Blog Hop "How to be a Millionaire" Stampin' Up! Pretty Perennials

 Hello Stampin' friends!!!

    I sure do hope this finds you doing well today! Pretty easy going weekend here, me in my stamp room and my boys cleaning out the garage. It was perfect timing, being as I have quite a few cards that I need to send out soon. This one today is for a great friend who is always there for me - she is going to LOVE the colors! Our challenge this month was to feature one of the stamp sets created by one of Stampin' Up!'s Million Dollar sales achievers. I chose one of my all time favorites in this category, Pretty Perennials, designed by the fabulous Dena Rekow!

 This is a GORGEOUS set, with a great coordinating die set to go with it! There are endless ways to combine everything, and you'll be able to create tons with it! I wanted to do something a little special for her, she's been so supportive. I hadn't done a pop-up box style card in a while, so I thought it would be fun to create a bouquet of Dena's flowers for her desk maybe!

 I can't wait to give it to her!!! She was actually the first person that I thought of when I saw the new FREE Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper Field & Flowers (you'll be able to get it, along with the stamp set on TUESDAY!!! Woot! Woot!) It's just her style, bright, bold color paired with black :) I actually chose this polka dot pattern so that I could pick my own bright colors for the flowers.

 There are going to be SO MANY great ideas on today's hop. I think that you are going to be inspired by every single one! Next up is actually the fabulous Dena Rekow herself!

#tgifc297 Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia in an Unexpected Color Combo

 Good morning and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I, like probably many of you am very much looking forward to a brand new year. I mean, I always do, but of course this year is a little different. I love the clean slate feel of a brand new calendar. I love the thought of great new possibilities and leaving the challenges of a year behind. We can probably all agree that this year has been a DOOZY! I will say, I have been handed more challenges than I ever imagined. At least one thing is constant for me, I have the opportunity to create and that is the best therapy for me!

 I love color, so this one was a bit of a challenge. At first I wanted to do something cute and fun, and pulled out the Zany Zebra set, then I had an idea of focusing on the BLACK, especially while we mourn our Whisper White, and await our new Basic White cardstock.

 I do love the elegant look of it. I embossed the magnolia with White Stampin' Emboss Powder, then traced a rectangle frame around the image. I then hand cut the rectangle as well as around the leaves. It's layered on a Whisper White scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly die. In order to save as much Whisper White as possible, I actually cut that layer from the middle of the main layer.

 I TRULY wish each and every one of you a happy, and healthy New Year. I hope that this year brings all the good things that you need. I appreciate you all so very much.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Beary Comforting

Hi there!!! Welcome back. As we are putting the final days of 2020 behind us, I want to take a moment to each of you for your continued support of my blog and my stamping business!!! Hopefully you are enjoying coming by and being inspired. Today I and a few of my friends are hoping to bring you some inspiration using this month's Paper Pumpkin kit - Beary Comforting.

This month has some seriously adorable images for you, and gives you all the supplies you need to create 12 full sized cards, not to mention this sweet bear image stamp. Today, I used the stamp set to create 2 alternate card ideas for you.

 This first one is kind of simple, but I think it turned out cute.

 This bear is so fun to color. I love the color combo of Petal Pink with Gray Granite. In order to make a slightly darker Gray Granite mat, I just used my Gray Granite Blend to color the edges of a piece of Gray Granite Cardstock.

 When I saw the bear, I knew I had to try to make a panda bear for my kiddo who is obsessed with pandas, and has been his whole life. When I colored it in to try it, I wasn't so sure, so I called him in and he loved it, so I knew it was going on a card. Funny thing is, I totally plan on using it for his upcoming birthday!

 In order to make sure that I didn't cover up all of his details, I used my Watercolor Pencils to add the panda like features. I knew I wanted to make sure it was bright and cheery, so I created a large bouquet of shimmery balloons for him! I know he is going to love it.

 I hope you get a few minutes to hop around and see all of the great ideas!

#tgifc296 Theme Challenge - Let It Snow - Stampin' Up! Snowflake Wishes

Hello!!! 

   Happy Friday, and Merry Christmas!!!! I truly hope that wherever you are, whatever you might do today that your day is blessed. I plan on spending my day with my hubby and boys, nice, easy and relaxing. Opening lots of gifts and eating our traditional Monkey Bread breakfast.

   I am SO glad I was able to get ahead a little earlier this month. I knew the last few days would be hectic. Lucky for me, I was able to get in a few hours between all of the holiday festivities.

 I might be in love with this color combination. I wanted to create something with the Snowflake Wishes set, but with a look completely different from the coordinating Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.

 This is definitely not the last time I plan on using this combo! I started by stamping the snowflakes on the Mint Macaron cardstock in Versamark ink, then embossing with White Embossing Powder. Don't you LOVE the sweet combo of the gingham from the ribbon paired with the scallops?

 I added some Wink of Stella on the letters to make them sparkle. Want to know a secret? A few months ago, I had my son help me do some die-cutting. Somehow, he lost my letter "J". I still haven't found it. Who knew that the letter "U" would become my hero?

 

 Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day. I might have asked Santa for some extra stamping time this next week, hopefully it will happen.

#tgifc295 Inspiration Challenge - Stampin' Up! Perfectly Plaid

 Hello!!!

    Happy Friday! I'm so happy that you stopped by today. It can be such a busy time of the year, so I appreciate you taking a few moments to see what I've been up to.

    Today I have a cute little card to share with you, inspired by this week's TGIF Challenge.

 I pulled out a fave from last year - Perfectly Plaid for this one. I also went with a classic, although maybe not standard Christmas Color Combo.

 I had fun playing with the different layers on this one! I wanted something that was kind of playful and I think it worked. It's all pretty basic stamping, no fancy techniques or anything. I did make the tree a little special but punching out a few extras from some Mossy Meadow Cardstock and gluing them all together to make a thicker tree.

Stampin' Fancy Friday - Holiday Time Saver - Quick and Easy Gift Card Gift Bags

 Hi there! 

    Do you often find yourself short on time during the holidays? (For me it's most days - LOL) Over at Stampin' Fancy Friday, we are sharing our ideas on ways to help you out with that a little bit. All of us are sharing projects and tips on making these times a little less hectic for you.

 One easy time saver during the holidays is definitely keeping a few gift cards on hand. I love the ease, but know it sometimes can lack that personal touch. One way to overcome that is super cute, but still super easy handmade gift bags and mini cards. What's great about these is that each bag only takes a half sheet of our awesome Designer Series Paper!

 For these ones, I used the GORGEOUS Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. These really are quick and easy! Would you like to know how to make them?

• Cut a sheet of Designer Series Paper to 6" x 12"
• Score at 3/4", 4 3/4", 5 1/2", 6 1/4", 10 1/4", and 11".
• Turn and score at 1" and 4 1/2"
• If you don't have markers for your scoring tool, you can always make your own by adding strips of a post it note
• Cut along the score lines shown below, and pre-fold your bag
• Adhere adhesive to the edge flap on the left as shown in the photo above to create the bag.
• Punch holes in the top of the bag and add ribbon for handles.
• Not sure if you will use them all right away? You can always make a bunch of them, and not adhere the bottom flaps until you are ready. This way, you can keep them folded flat, and just adhere the bottom flaps when you are!
• I often get impatient and want to start working on the next one while my adhesive is drying. A large punch works great to help hold the flaps in place once you apply adhesive and are waiting for it to dry. Just place it inside and get going on the next one!
  
  
  

 I added tiny little gift cards to each one. A 2"x3" card is just the right size to slip on to each bag.

 If you are looking for more ideas to create with this wonderful Snowflake Splendor Suite, I have a WONDERFUL tutorial still available. It features full directions for NINE great projects. Talk about a time saver! GET YOURS NOW

I want to take a moment to thank you all for all of the support that you show my business. It means the world to me. When you place your order this month, please use hostess code CT9AHZPX. Remember also, that I will send you a free tutorial bundle when your order reaches $50 or more!

#tgifc294 Sketch Challenge with Stampin' Up! Gnome for the Holidays

 Hey there! I know, I know.... it's been a while. I didn't fall off the earth, just been busy with the family stuff. It feels good to be back in the stamp room and creating again!

 I really like how versatile this sketch in. I had a couple of these cute little gnomes sitting on my desk, and they needed a card to live on! I figured that this one was a good one for them!

 I love them! I think they are so freaking CUTE! I had a blast coloring them with our Stampin' Blends. A piece of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper was the perfect addition to a base layer of Whisper White that I embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.. I might have gone a little over board with the Red Rhinestones, what do you think?

#tgifc292 Stampin' Up! Christmas Gleaming - It's going to be a magical Christmas

 Hello and Happy Friday! To those of you here in the US, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I was lucky enough to be able to spend it with my brother's family, and had a wonderful time. I LOVE Thanksgiving. I love the food, the family, the scents, the expressions of gratitude.  Now it'll be time for me to switch focus though, time to focus on Christmas!

  I decided to go with a little bit of an unconventional color combination, with some traditional Christmas elements!

 Many people might not think to use the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper for Christmas cards, or even as inspiration for a color pallet, but I think it works! I loved adding lots of layers and textures to this card. I love the soft romantic feel. I kind of just started grabbing bits and pieces, and throwing them in the pot so to speak.

I want to take a moment to thank you all for all of the support that you show my business. It means the world to me. When you place your order this month, please use hostess code CT9AHZPX. Remember also, that I will send you a free tutorial bundle when your order reaches $50 or more!

#tgifc291 Inspiration Challenge - Thankful for Friends - Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers

Hello! Happy Friday, friends!!! I am so excited to be sharing with you a fun project for this week's #TGIFChallenge! November might be one of my favorite month's of the year. The cooler days, the warm scents, the reminders and expressions of gratitude everywhere. It makes my heart happy. That's one of the reasons why I needed to play along today!

 

 (make sure you check out all of this week's inspiration by clicking on the graphic above)

 

 Remember how a few weeks ago I mentioned how I had gotten together with a few friends to attend our OnStage at Home virtual event? I knew I was rooming with some amazing women that I am so thankful for, and wanted to do something nice for them. I found some great Rae Dunn noteboooks at the store, wrapped them up, and decided to create some over the top, "avid crafter" style gift tags to attach to them. I really wanted them to represent "ME", so I poured a lot of my heart and style into them.

 I truly had a lot of fun making these! The only stamping on them was the awesome Buffalo Check stamp and the sentiment, the rest is just a lot of die-cut layering and lots of RIBBONS!!! You know what I loved most about making these tags? I just PLAYED!!! Seriously, I just had fun with them. I didn't overthink, I just let my heart take over. I kind of wish I had kept one for myself. LOL!!!

I want to take a moment to thank you all for all of the support that you show my business. It means the world to me. When you place your order this month, please use hostess code NFN4FK2D. Remember also, that I will send you a free tutorial bundle when your order reaches $50 or more!

#tgifc290 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Special Someone

 Hello and happy Friday! Welcome back, I am so excited to share this fun birthday card I created for this week's TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge! I FINALLY used my Special Someone stamp set that I purchased a few month's ago! I love how it turned out.

 I love the sketch, but I must admit that I tend to forget about ovals - LOL!!! I knew because of that, this might be a little bit of a challenge, but once I started playing with these cute little critters, well... it wasn't so bad.

EEEP!!! SO cute right? I LOVE this color combo. I've seen some fun variations of it and can't wait to play with it a little more!

 

 

Petal Pink

 

Bumble Bee

 

Just Jade

 

Pool Party

 

Misty Moonlight

 I started with the balloons, then wanted to carry the colors in somewhere else, so I added the stripes of cardstock. I felt like they still needed a little something, so I used some of the smaller stamps in the set to create some fun tone on tone patterns.

I want to take a moment to thank you all for all of the support that you show my business. It means the world to me. When you place your order this month, please use hostess code NFN4FK2D. Remember also, that I will send you a free tutorial bundle when your order reaches $50 or more!

OSAT Blog Hop - Glad Tidings We Bring - Stampin' Up! Snowman Season

Hey, Hey!!!! I am so happy to be hopping with the OSAT Blog Hop Team today!!! I spent the weekend with some amazing women, watching Stampin' Up!'s OnStage Demonstrator Event, and have felt so rejuvenated. I needed it - physically, emotionally, creatively!!!! Hopefully it shows in today's projects!

 I had some fun with one of my favorite stamp sets from last year, that carried over to our Annual Catalog - Snowman Season. I LOVED this set, and was so happy to have another year to feature it! For today, I created a fun little card and gift card holder.

 The card is a gatefold card and also features the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and the wreath from the Wreath Builder Dies. I had so much fun putting it together!

 I LOVE how it turned out. I tend to buy a bit of Designer Series Papers, but sometimes forget to REALLY use them. This is such an easy way to feature to 2 coordinating sides! Instead of scoring your card base at 4 1/4", score it at 2 1/8" in on each side so that it meets in the middle. 

 

 The gift card holder was really easy too, it's just scored at 2 1/4" in from each end. Once you add your layers and Designer Series Paper, just use a circle punch to create a little area to peek at your gift card, then add a thin line of adhesive up each side to create the pocket. A length of coordinating paper creates a little band to slide around the holder and keep it closed.

 I can not wait to fill this and gift these to someone special this year!

Are you looking forward to the rest of the Blog Hop like I am? I can not wait to see what everyone has created!

#tgifc289 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers

 Hi there! Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great day! I am so excited - this weekend is the Stampin' Up! OnStage event. We usually get to gather together in person to see new product, learn new techniques, share ideas, hang out with friends... this year is a little different. We are doing our event virtually. I can not wait to see and learn!!! BUT - before all of that, I need to share my card with y'all for this week's TGIF color Challenge!

 

 I have been having a blast with this Celebrate Sunflower bundle!!! I LOVE it. It is truly so me! These were kind of dark colors, so I struggled at first on how exactly I wanted to do this - but after adding a little Very Vanilla and a touch of lace - well....

 This bundle is so fun, you can use it in so many ways. There is a great stamp set with some beautiful sentiments, but the die set is wonderful too. I used the Subtle Embossing Folder on the back pieces for some extra textures.

I want to take a moment to thank you all for all of the support that you show my business. It means the world to me. When you place your order this month, please use hostess code NFN4FK2D. Remember also, that I will send you a free tutorial bundle when your order reaches $50 or more!

We Create Blog Hop - Bundle Up! Stampin' Up! Arrange A Wreath

 Hello, hello, hello!!!! Two posts in one day! I shared the anniversary card I made for my husband this morning with the Creation Station Blog Hop, and now I'm sharing with you a Christmas card, featuring one of Stampin' Up!'s great bundles - Arrange A Wreath! Honestly, I fell in love with this amazing bundle as soon as the catalog came out, I am not sure why I waited to get it!!! Silly me!!!!

 

 I did add a couple of background stamps, but this is seriously a great, stand alone bundle!

 

The bundle comes with a great stamp set and one of the most versatile die sets!!! I know that I am going to LOVE creating with it. I wanted to add some depth and dimension to the wreath, so after I cut it from Mossy Meadow Cardstock, I went over some of the branches with the Mossy Meadow Blends set, and then the main area of the wreath with the Dark Soft Suede Blend.

Make sure that you hop around and visit all of our blogs today, there is sure to be some great inspiration. Next up on the hop is Kimberley!
