Stamp Time Somewhere

#tgifc271 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Blossoms in Bloom - I'm twitterpated!

 Hi there! Happy Friday. Yes, it's true - I'm twitterpated!!! Might be in love with a new stamp set bundle from Stampin' Up! that I used on this card for this week's TGIF Color Challenge. I will tell ya, being on this Design Team is a BLAST - but the talent of the other designers, and all of the awesome entries we get every week can be quite intimidating! This week we had a color challenge for you -

 Now, if you want to, you can use this set to make some beautiful, over the top cards, but my favorite part is that you can use it to make quick and STUNNING cards too!

 The flowers are one image, just ink and stamp, then add your centers and leaves, and embellish as you wish! EASY. 

 I love having the opportunity to share with you. I would love the support of your business, if you would like to order the supplies necessary to create these projects, I have provided a list of products needed below. Use host code TEEVJT7D, and you can choose a free tutorial as well, when you purchase at least $50!

 Don't miss out on your chance to get next month's Paper Pumpkin Kit! It looks amazing, PLUS it has a great (not necessary, but why not?) Add On!!!!

Thank you so much for joining me today! It's such a pleasure to have you stop by! As always, I hope that you have a great day, and a great week, and take some time to create, because it's always Stamp Time Somewhere!

#tgifc270 Summer Vibes with Stampin' Up! Cute Fruit!

 Hey Hey!! Happy Friday! It has been a hot week here in Vegas, so this week's theme was perfect for me!!! Who else would rather be on a beach, toes in the sand, with a cold, fruity drink maybe?

 I fell in love with the stamp set Cute Fruit the moment I saw it! If it doesn't look extremely familiar, it's because it's actually featured in the "Make Beautiful Things" Mini Brochure/Catalog designed especially for (but of course no limited to) our Newer Stampers! It's basically a "cute set", but I decided to try to give it a more artistic look for this card though!

 To achieve this look, I spritzed some water on some Watercolor paper, then I also spritzed a little water on the stamp after I inked it up. It gives a very impressionistic, watercolor effect, I LOVE IT!!! There are two other products that I used on this card that I LOVE and think are absolute must haves! In fact, like add them to your order TODAY - the GORGEOUS Artistry Blooms Sequins (They are SOOOO Sparkly, and adhesive backed!), and the Black and White Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack. I am going to use the heck out of this stuff!!!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing - Box of Sunshine

 Hi friends! Welcome back to another Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! I absolutely LOVE this month's KIT!!! It's so bright and cheery, and that makes me so happy! I NEED lots of happy sunshine, what about you?

 The idea behind this box is to fill it up with happiness and re-gift it! Sounds fun, right? I can not WAIT to do that! Until then, I used an extra of one of the die-cuts included, and a few of the stamps and some other supplies to create a QUICK card, and cute little Mini Curvy Keepsake Box!

 

 Seriously easy, an embossed background, a die cut from the kit, a heat embossed sentiment, a few gems for embellishment and DONE!

 

I added a little more detail to the box. After cutting a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes die, I stamped the word Smile in Crushed Curry ink all over it. I added a simple tag with the sun stamp, colored in with my Blends markers. 

 

I can not wait see all of the fun sunshine shared in this month's hop - make sure that you check out everyone's blogs for tons of inspiration!

#tgifc269 Technique Challenge - Featuring Stampin' Up! Tasteful Touches

 Oh. My. Gosh.... Long time no see!!! That was a very long, very unintended hiatus. At the end of May I took a temporary contract job that ended up being way more physically demanding than I anticipated and to tell you the truth, it kicked my booty!!! I survived, but let's just say that I am danged proud that I did it - I still can't believed I walked almost 108 miles in 4 weeks! Just this past week I was able to move into a different job with the same group, and I am working just 3 days a week and it is no where near as physically demanding! This gave me an opportunity to actually CREATE yesterday!!!!

 

   One of the great benefits of that job was a little extra cash in my pocket, so I treated myself to some new supplies from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.One of the first things I HAD to have was this Tasteful Touches Suite!!! A great all purpose stamp set, one of the best Designer Series Paper packs, and great dies - who could ask for more?!?!

 I had intentions of something bright and colorful, but then this color combo jumped at me, and I thought that I could use this for a Father's Day card this weekend, so I went for a more subtle look.

 I am LOVING this new In Color - Misty Moonlight. It is the prettiest blue! The gorgeous leaf dies are from the Forever Flourishing Dies - another must have!

#tgifc265 - Travelling with Stampin' Up! Dressed to Impress

 Hey there! Happy Friday! Hope that you are having a great day! Thanks for stopping by to join me for this week's #TGIFChallenge!!!! This week's theme is TRAVEL! This one made me think... I didn't really have much to work with, and I knew there were going to be some hot air balloons. Thanks to a late night FB Group chat with some of the other amazing TGIF gals - I was finally inspired!

 I am so grateful for their help, because I am not sure that I would have come up with this on my own... but I love it! It might be a stretch, but she does travel in red shoes down a yellow brick road....

 Can y'all hear me squeal with this one?!?!? It was a joint effort on the idea, that's for sure!  I just adore all the little details, and how they all came together. The shoes were the first inspiration, Dorothy's Red Shoes (these are just a little more glam). I colored them with Real Red and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Markers, then added several coats of Wink of Stella for some shine. The Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder paired with Daffodil Delight Cardstock made the perfect Yellow Brick Road, Seaside Spray Gingham (I am SOOOOO SAD we won't have Gingham Paper in the new catalog, but the new prints are pretty cute). Adding in some hot air balloon images, and POPPY sequins.... well, I think that these helped me create a perfect card for any Wizard of Oz fan!!!! 

   I hope you get a moment to swing by the TGIF Blog to play along this week and check out the other amazing projects from our designers.

OSAT Blog Hop - Manly Men with Stampin' Up!'s A Good Man stamp set

 Hello friends!!!!

    How's everyone doing? Hopefully everyone is doing well! Things are going good here, almost done painting and getting the house back together. Hubby is still busy at work as they are getting things back in place to reopen the Strip! I am still struggling to squeeze in stamping time while juggling the boys' distance learning, BUT - I'm doing it... so happy I could participate in this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - featuring projects for those "Manly Men" in our lives!

   I chose A Good Man. I do love this stamp set. There is so much that can be done with it. I just kept creating with it.

 First up is a card. I was looking through our catalog, and I had marked this card in there because I loved the layout. Even though the original card featured a flower, I wanted to give it a go with this set. 

 I decided to add a sheet of the Country Club Designer Series Paper for a serious punch! Talk about amazing colors! The I ran my piece of Smoky Slate through with both the Argyle Embossing Folder AND the Subtle Texture Embossing Folders - added a great look! I love all of the layering and distressing, and interest and texture on this card. What do you think?

 I kind of wracked my brain for the 3D item though... Hmm... Finally came up with this cute little matchbox style box!

  I love the extra little touches like the wood embossing, the Real Red ribbon to mimic the striping on the chair, and the extra sentiment inside the box lining! Now to just decide on something to put in it!

  I hope that you enjoy today's hop. This team never disappoints and I am so excited to see what they have created for us!

Facebook Live - Free As A Bird

 Hi there!

    OMG! So, funny story, and quite embarrassing actually.... I have been wanting to FB Lives on my business page for quite some time, but have always found an excuse to put them off.... well, with everything going on, I couldn't wait much longer, I bit the bullet and bought a great stand for my phone and jumped in. Last Monday was my first one, it went OK, had a few issues, but I got through them.

 Last night, I decided to do another one. I should have known by the way my Monday went, I was going to have issues. I am really not sure how anyone got through the first 7 minutes or so. It was upside down, backward, I flipped the phone around umpteen times.... I finally had it facing at least the right direction, but never realized that the ENTIRE time, everything was mirrored.

 Well, friends to the rescue. With their advice, and a little more practice, I think I FINALLY have it figured out. HOPEFULLY, 3rd times a charm, right?

 Despite the challenges, my card turned out super cute, and I hope that the people who have watched it learned something, despite it all.

 Here's the card I made, along with the dimensions

 I'm so bummed that the card turned out cute, but the live, well... It is what it is!

 Here are the measurements for all of the layers:

Petal Pink: 11" x 4 1/4", score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"

Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper: 1@ 2 1/2" x 4", 1@ 5 1/4" x 4"

Pool Party: 10" x 3 1/4", score at 4 1/2" & 7 1/4"

Whisper White: 1@ 4 1/4" x 3", 2 @ 2 1/2" x 3"

Creation Station Mad As A Hatter Mash Up - Geared Up Garage and Dressed to Impress?

 Hello!!! Welcome, friends!

    Back again today with the amazing Creation Station Blog Hop! It's a seriously fun theme today, and I can not wait to see what everyone on the team has come up with, I am sure we will be in for a treat!

 Cool, right? Here were our challenge guidelines, "Create the Unexpected. Select a totally outlandish color palette or use stamps and dies in an entirely unforeseen manner. Have fun and go crazy."

 TOTALLY stumped me a bit!!! I went back and forth over what to use. I finally came up with something I think works.

 Now, while I know that it might not look like too crazy of a mash up, I haven't seen too many cards using the Geared Up Garage stamp set and dies for "girl" cards, and I am not sure that it's been paired up with an image from the Dressed to Impress stamp set!

 

 Kind of fun though, right? I started my coloring my car with my Lovely Lipstick Blends. I wanted some fun, Lovely Lipstick Metallic gears as accents, so after I cut some from my Silver Metallic Paper, I colored them with the Blends as well. This doesn't really work well for larger shapes, but it works pretty good on smaller ones!

 I also wanted to make sure I had lots of texture on my "oil" paper, so I ran it through my embossing machine with the Subtle 3D Embossing folder in like 3 directions! super fun. I also love all the texture that the larger gear die-cuts add to the background of the card!

 I hope you have a blast going through the hop today! Next up is the lovely and talented Elizabeth Price. Her projects are always amazing!

 I love having the opportunity to share with you. If you would like to order the supplies necessary to create these projects, I have provided a list of products needed below. Use host code RZ2RPV3Z, and you can choose a free tutorial as well, when you purchase at least $50!

#tgif262 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Love What You Do

 Hi there! It's FRIDAY - which means that I have a TGIF Challenge card for you! Being as it's the first Friday of the month, it's a COLOR CHALLENGE!

 I'm so happy with the way this card turned out! I admit though, Love What You Do was not a set I gave enough love. Now it won't be part of our catalog soon. Now's the time to get it if you haven't already.

I used the watercolor-y looking stamp from the set for this, but it was a little too big for what I needed, so I just applied the ink to the stamp with a Sponge Dauber - problem solved!

 I love having the opportunity to share with you. If you would like to order the supplies necessary to create these projects, I have provided a list of products needed below. Use host code RZ2RPV3Z, and you can choose a free tutorial as well, when you purchase at least $50!

#tgifc261 Use Your Words - Stampin' Up! Well Said and Breathtaking Bouquet

 Hi there! Happy Friday! I'm running a little behind today...again. Seems to be happening a lot lately! Anyhow, ultimately I am here! I was excited to share with you a card for this week's #TGIFChallenge!

 One of my sweet friends and Stampin' Up! team members has been having a lot of health issues lately, so I thought I would make her up a quick card to hopefully cheer her up!

 Even though the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp looks intimidating, it doesn't have to be. While it looks amazing beautifully colored in with Blends or Watercolor, or any number of techniques, I think that doing something simple, like coloring in the background area of it with the Dark Pool Party Blend Marker, makes a big impact. Adding Daffodil Delight made for a bold, yet soft color combo.

#tgifc260 Belly Bands - Stampin' Up! Over the Moon

 Hi there! Happy Monday. Hope you are having a great start to the week. I'm having a much better start to my week, than my end to last week. I had a HORRIBLE headache that took a few days to get over. YUCK. 

 I did get a small break in the pain on Saturday and finally got a chance to do a little stamping, so I decided to combine the #tgifc260 challenge, and a fun color challenge #keepstamping from Stampin' Up!

 

 I thought I'd reach for a set that might not be immediately obvious for this color combo, or for using a belly band, but I am SO excited with how it turned out. I am going to write out this card to my hubby, he's had to put up with a lot at work, then come to a wife that is sometimes a stressball - LOL!

 You HAVE to see both pictures to see why I am so excited about it!!!

 

 

 

 

 Get it? Over the Moon!!!! LOL I am a little embarrassed about how excited I got when I came up with that idea! LOL.

  To create the background, I used the small stitched star from the Stitched Stars Dies to create a negative space for the Pool Party stars to shine through. I outlined the stars with the Wink of Stella and it's so pretty. Shows up a little dark in the picture, but adds just the right amount of sparkle!

Stampin' Fancy Friday - Fancy Folds Challenge - Stampin' Up! A Good Man

Hello! How's your day going? Are you finally getting a moment to yourself? Hopefully during the next few minutes I'll be able to share a little inspiration for you. 

  Recently the Fancy Friday Design Team comprised completely of current and former Stampin' Up! Artisans changed things up a bit so that we can all post throughout the month with one challenge in mind that we are bringing to you via our Instagram and Facebook team pages on the first Friday of each month. My card for this month posted on our pages just the other day, so I thought I'd share a few details with you!

 I love the A Good Man stamp set, and knew it would make a perfect birthday card for my husband. Of course, if you've been by here before at all, you probably know that I love my Blends, so I took my color cues straight from the Country Club Designer Series Paper and set to work.

 This Double-Z fold card was a perfect way to have a little fun and showcase this handsome Designer Series Paper. I LOVE argyle and plaid prints, so this collection is perfect for me. I don't really have a lot of need for the golf patterns, but the alternate side prints are just dreamy! Speaking of dreamy, the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder makes great, rich impressions, perfect for adding just the right amount of masculine texture!

OSAT Blog Hop - Celebrate those Milestones! Seriously the Best

 Hi Stampin' friend! How are you? Hopefully you are doing well today. 

   I'm back with the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for you today, and this month we are focusing on those milestones in life. Even though we can't attend these events, and some if not most have been cancelled right now, it doesn't mean that we won't need cards for them.....eventually....

 One way or another I'll be able to give these to my kiddo. He's supposed to be graduating 8th grade this year. He was supposed to go to Disneyland for a class trip, he was supposed to go to his 8th grade dance, he was supposed to be doing all those extra special things to celebrate moving from Middle School to High School. Whether or not he finishes his school year at his school, or here at home with me, we will find a way to celebrate! So, for this month's hop theme, I made a card and decorated a box to hold a gift card in his school colors.

 The details for both are pretty similar. I embossed the background with the AWESOME Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder, which is PERFECT for masculine cards! I used the Stitched Nested Dies to cut the shape from Crushed Curry Cardstock, then I stamped the "You did it!" sentiment repeatedly in Crushed Curry ink. The main sentiment is from the Seriously the Best stamp set (it just might be) and I stamped it in Versamark Ink on Basic Black cardstock, then heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I LOVE the little 2020 tag, which is just a tag from the Magnolia Lane Cork Accents which I cut down!

 The box essentially uses all the same materials, I just added the strip Of Basic Black cardstock around the Clear Acetate Card Box first, then layered my pieces on that.

   I hope that you enjoy today's hop. This team never disappoints and I am so excited to see what they have created for us!

 

 I love having the opportunity to share with you. If you would like to order the supplies necessary to create these projects, I have provided a list of products needed below.Use host code T7F4FK7B, and you can choose a free tutorial as well!
