#tgifc246 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Heartfelt

 Hi there! Happy Friday! Welcome back for this week's #TGIF Challenge! It's been such a busy week here. I've totally taken advantage of the boys being back in school with some quiet time in the office! It's been so nice! I was able to complete projects for the OSAT Blog Hop, the Creation Station Blog Hop, and got an adorable Class to Go ready for y'all!  For today though, it's all about TGIF!

 I took a little different approach with today's sketch. Instead of reaching for one of our great Designer Series Papers, I thought it would be fun to use a stamped image instead!

 I am LOVING the From My Heart Suite in the Stampin' Up! Spring Summer 2020 Mini Catalog. In fact, my Class to Go this month features this bundle.

 I stamped the arrows on a separate piece of Whisper White card stock so that I could rearrange them before I glued them down if I wanted. Then I ran that through the embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder, it really gives it a nice texture. It needed a little pizzazz, so I added the Gold Foil hearts and some Faceted Gems from the suite.

 My current Class to Go - From My Heart

OSAT Blog Hop - Purses, Poppies, and Paris - the New Spring 2020 Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up!

 Hi friends! Welcome back to the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! I am so excited about some of the new faces joining our hop and some of the great themes that we have planned for you this upcoming year! We're kicking it off with highlighting some of our favorite products from the brand new Sping/Summer 2020 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog! Friends, this catalog is over 70 pages of AMAZINGNESS! It's pretty hard to pick out favorites, but the Under My Umbrella bundle was an early stand out for me, so I decided I would highlight it today. I've already done a few posts using it, and plan on offering an upcoming Class to Go in the mail class with it!

 For this blog hop, we always try to do a card, and something else. Sometimes it's decor, sometimes it's a gift. This month, I have an ADORABLE gift packaging idea for you!!

 Ok, so I am seriously in love with these projects, and I can't wait to tell ya about the bag, but I'll "save the best for last" and start with the details of the card.

 In addition to the new set, I also used my new, possibly all time favorite dies - Stitched So Sweetly. I seriously want to use them on EVERYTHING!!! The card is pretty simple, the set has a coordinating punch for the umbrellas!

 Ok, so... this bag. Maybe I was tired, but it gave me fits trying to figure out exactly how I wanted it, but in the end - mission accomplished!

 I found this sweet little box of wildflower seeds at the Dollar Store, and knew that if I could make some cute packaging, it would be a great gift! The window cut out is a peek at the front of the seed box. 

 My Blends and Paper Snips got a serious workout on this one!Can you even believe how cute the images and fonts are in this set? Too Cute! I LOVE how as stampers we have the ability to turn something so ordinary in to something so special, just by adding our own creative touches to it.

 Enjoy all of the blogs participating today, I can't wait to see what everyone designs!

Creation Station Blog Hop - Resolution Solution

 Hi Stamp Time Somewhere friends!!!! Hope you're having a wonderful day! Welcome to this month's Creation Station Blog Hop! Soooo....New Year's Resolutions tend to get a bad rap. Personally, I love them. Do I always stick to them? Not always like I want, but I try and what's the harm in trying...trying is better than not! Well, hopefully this month's hop will help all of us as we bring ideas meant to help us keep our resolutions!

 This year we decided to do our resolutions on a family level, and let me tell you, once we got to brainstorming, we had a TON of ideas. What better way to keep track of all these ideas than a family notebook?

 Ok, so one thing that I LOVE about this image from the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set "The Gang's All Meer" is the fact that there's FIVE of them!!! That means it's perfect for our family with 3 boys :) I even added some blush and eyelashes to the mama meer!

 I was so excited to play with the awesome new, masculine and sporty Country Club Designer Series Paper. With a mix of golf themed images on one side, and perfect plaids and argyles on the other, it's actually super versatile! It's part of the Country Club Suite which has some great products even for non-golfers. I used the Garden Green and Night of Navy Twine from the Combo pack to serve as a fun little embellishment that doubles as bookmarks.

 Some of the things that are already listed in our book:

• Have a family slumber party
• Go to the Grand Canyon and at least 2 more National Parks
• Ice Cream for Dinner
• Pay off debts
• Go to the Water Park
• Finish landscaping the back yard
• Learn new skills (cooking, crochet, etc...)
• More family game nights

 I hope you find lots of inspiration on today's hop. Next up is Kathy Kartak! Can't wait to see what resolution she's tackling.

#tgifc245 Color Challenge

 Hi!!! I have been a BUSY girl this week! Did you check out the We Create and A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hops??? I'll even be back on Sunday with the Creation Station Blog Hop! I am LOVING all this stamping time. For today though, it's all about TGIF Challenges.

 (don't forget to check out the rest of the TGIF team's inspiration! Click on the Challenge graphic above!)

 At first I was a little worried about this color challenge, I wanted to make sure I was able to use these rich colors, but I was in a mood to create something light. I love what finally came together!

 The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss, with layers of Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla (almost sounds like a dessert - lol!), with a final layer of Watercolor paper that was embossed with the gorgeous new background stamp - Breathtaking Bouquet (I have so many ideas with this one!) I added a wash of Rich Razzleberry watercolor over the embossing to bring out the lovely design. The cute little boots and flowers are from the Under my Umbrella stamp set. Told ya that I am LOVING this bundle (can't wait to share the Class to Go with you!) I did fussy cut the boots and flowers, but it wasn't that bad :)

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Something for Everything

 Hi friends!!!  Back today with some fun Paper Pumpkin alternatives using this month's awesome kit - Something for Everything! I love teaming up with this Blog Hop, because I know I am always looking for fun inspiration using these great kits.

  This was a great kit! Designed to make 12 versatile card bases, the stamp set included covered SO MANY occasions! There's 13 sentiments!

 Once I started playing with it, I JUST KEPT GOING! In just a short time I was able to create 2 cards and a gift box for this hop, plus another card for a tutorial!

 By cutting up the front of one of the cute pre-printed cards, and adding some additional cardstock I was able to come up with these sweet cards! The floral layers are 4"x 2 1/2" for the "you're the best" card, and 4" x 3" for the "feel better soon" card. I found it easy to create the sentiment strips by cutting 1/2 inch strips first, then stamping and embossing.

 I also used another card to create a sweet and simple gift box. By cutting the card down the center, you have a solid and a pattern piece. To create the box, just score at 3/4" on all sides on both pieces, snip the ends and fold the flaps in to create the boxes. Embellish with the beautiful self-adhesive pieces included with the kit. This is such a FAST was to create gift boxes!

 

 I hope that you enjoy our hop today! There's always so many great ideas!

 

 If you haven't signed up for your Paper Pumpki yet, I HIGHLY suggest it! Sign up by the 10th and your first kit will be what is looking to be an AMAZING giftables kit - "I'll Be Yours" with 20 gift bags and 10 mini cards!!!

Kit details: Makes 20 treat bags + 10 mini cards and envelopes

Card size:3" x 3" 

Envelope size:3-1/8" x 3-1/8" 

Bag size:3-1/4" x 4" 

Coordinating Stampin’ Up! colors: Crushed Curry, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, and Rococo Rose

 In just a few days we will all be able to order from the brand new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog! Let me tell ya, you've never seen a catalog like this! It's seriously, truly amazing!!! It's also SEVENTY FIVE pages full of stamps, accessories and inspiration.

 One of my FAVORITE bundles is the Under My Umbrella bundle. This adorable bundle has a great 15 piece photopolymer stamp set and Builder Punch to make creating adorable projects a BREEZE! Be prepared to see a LOT of this bundle. In fact, I am currently planning a full Class TO Go featuring this sweet bundle!

 For today's card, I paired it with the stunning Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. This elegant paper is saturated with gorgeous colors and impressionistic images of serene water lilies. Best part about this paper - IT'S FREE!!! YES - it's one of the great offerings for this year's Sale-A-Bration!

Next up on the hop is my beautiful friend Kimberley Morris!

#TGIFC243 Use Your Favorites Challenge - #Elfie

 Hello and Happy Friday! I am happy to say that I am FINALLY feeling better! Getting hit with multiple bugs this season with little time in between has been quite the challenge this year! Not to mention - for some ridiculous reason, I decided I needed to move furniture around and rearrange my stamp room last week.

 I was actually grateful that I found a card I made for a swap that I never ended up sharing here on my blog! Woo Hoo! It happened to use one of my favorite sets from this year's Holiday catalog, so it totally fits the challenge!

 I LOVE these sweet little Elves!!! They have been so fun to color! I even designed my last Class to Go around this set! The class was a fun take on more traditional colors, so I thought it would be fun to go a completely different route with this one and use the Subtles color palette.

 I absolutely love the depth of color that our Stampin' Blends markers bring to a project. It was fun to share some of my techniques in the class tutorial.

Fancy Friday - No White Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration Sneak Peek - The Gang's All Meer

 Hello and Happy Friday! I'm excited to share this month's Fancy Friday project with y'all today!!! If you haven't hopped with us before, we are a group of former and current Stampin' Up! Artisans that still love creating together!

 This was a rather difficult challenge!!! NO WHITE? Say what?!?!? Hopefully I didn't break the rules too badly. I mean, I did use Thick Whisper White cardstock, but you can't see it, so it should be ok, right?

 I know I don't often post a lot of sneak peeks, but I just couldn't help myself with this one! This adorable meerkat family is in an upcoming FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set!!! It was a perfect image for me to use for my my wonderful step-Dad's birthday card being as it reminded me of my hubby, my boys, and myself! A sweet little family of 5!

 I colored the image with Stampin' Blends on Thick Whisper White cardstock that I cut with the  Stitched Nested Labels. The background was made using the Artisan Textures set.

 Although it was challenging to finish a card with no white, it was fun! Give it a shot. I am sure that the rest of the Fancy Friday crew has amazing inspiration for you, so I hope you'll hop around with all of us! Next up is the amazing Krista Frattin

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Winter Gifts

 Hi there! Welcome back! It's time for this month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! This month was the second in a two month special coordinated set for Christmas/ Winter. Last month featured some really pretty cards, and this month's kit came with all the supplies for some gorgeous coordinating gift tags.

 I had a TON of ideas for this month's kit, but between being sick last week, kids out of school this week and Thanksgiving, well...cards it was for me.

 I am super excited to share these cards with you, because of the story behind them. I know I don't usually get to into the backstories, but this one was pretty cool. The other night I went in to my stamp room to start working on my projects when my 15 year old son came walking in. He sat on the floor and started to talk with me. I started to struggle with my original idea, when he got up and walked over to my desk. He started making suggestions with different colors and layouts, and well, this first card is what he came up with!!! I am SO FREAKING PROUD!!!

 Can you see why I am proud? I know that it's a pretty modern, clean and simple kind of card and that it might not be everyone's cup of tea for a Christmas card, but it's HIM. About the only idea I had was to put the cardinal die on the black. He came up with the Basic Gray main background, embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder, and the rest of the layout.

 I was showing it off to Andrea when she suggested I make a stepped up version. I remember back when I was on the Artisan team, my hubby and I would do it occasionally - he would make a card, then I would do the "Artisan" version. So I set back to work to see what I could do. I pulled out a few more of the dies in the kit, added a few layers and Ta-Dah!

 It's so fun to play with all of the fun pieces in the Paper Pumpkin kits! I love the shiny silver snowflake accents that came with this month's!!! 

 Here is a pic of the two cards side by side.

 Hope you enjoy all of the great ideas with this month's hop, and for those of you here in the U.S., I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

#tgifc239 Technique Challenge - Dry Embossed Vellum, Stampin' Up! Perfectly Plaid

 Hi!!!! Happy Friday! It's been a CRAZY week, and I still need to share pics from last week's TGIF Stampin' party, but I have been SUPER sick since Sunday. I did manage to sneak in the stamp room for a few minutes yesterday though, so I whipped up a quick, clean and simple card for this week's TGIF Challenge!

(make sure you click on the photo above to go visit our TGIF Challenges Page to see the other designers projects!)

 Like I mentioned, I haven't been feeling well, so I wanted something pretty quick. I think that the Vellum embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder made easy work of that, as it's pretty stunning on it's own.

 I went with a very non-traditional color combination, but I love the softness of it! Once I had the basic card layered, I added a tree stamped in Gray Granite on Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the coordinating Christmas Tree punch. 

 One nice thing about using this embossing folder with the Vellum was that it was easy to make sure that the adhesive didn't show, which can sometimes be an issue with Vellum. I just lightly applied a thin line of Multipurpose Glue on all the "de-bossed" areas that would touch the cardstock. The embossing makes the Vellum slightly more opaque, so it doesn't show!

 If you'd like even more Perfectly Plaid inspiration, take a peek at my Tutorial Store. I just added a great 11 project tutorial PDF!

 Make sure you check out the rest of the inspiration on the TGIF Blog!
