Stamp Time Somewhere

It's a Stampin' Up! Year End Closeout!!!

   While there is still a few weeks left for you to make sure that you get the items that you want from the Stampin' Up! Holiday 2018 Catalog - DON'T WAIT!!! Right now is the perfect time to add some of those coveted items to your craft room (or fine - you could buy some gifts too) A good majority of items from the catalog are now on SALE!!! 

  This might also be a good time to send the hubby to my online store to shop for your Christmas gift!!!

  Of course there are still all of the amazing stamp sets, tools and accessories in the Annual catalog, but who doesn't love a sale? 

 As a bonus - I'll be sending off special gifts for EVERYONE who places an order of $50 or more this month that uses the Hostess code below!

  I am so grateful to every one of you that has helped support my business this year! 

 Love you all and I will be back Friday with a dreamy color challenge for TGIF Challenges!!!

Creation Station - Celebrate the Season

Hello and Happy December!!! I am super excited about this post, because this is my very first post hopping along with the fabulously talented Creation Station team!!! Seriously, some of the best of the best!

 I had some seriously grand plans for this month too - being my premiere month and all. I have some fabulous projects started on my desk. Unfortunately, life took a few swings this week and I took a pretty big hit. After an all-nighter in the Emergency Room Tuesday night, I've been dealing with a still un-diagnosed issue that has pretty much kept me in bed, on an all liquid diet since. NOT how I planned on starting this hop, let alone this month - I'm MOM, so I really don't have time for this :) Anyhow, on to the one project I DID manage to get done!

 

 I was so excited last year when we moved in to a new home that had a beautiful front window in a "formal" living room that was perfect for a Christmas Tree. I kind of missed being able to see it from our family room though. Problem solved this year - I was able to sweet talk the hubby in to a second tree! I wanted to add a personal touch to the tree, so I decided to create a few ornaments - I guess I'll have to share the others once I start feeling better!

 By cutting the letters out multiple times and layering them, along with layering multiple sheets of Very Vanilla card stock for the base, it almost doesn't even look like it's made of paper.

 Next up is the lovely and talented Elizabeth Price - Her work is always stunning!

 

Thank you so much for visiting today! 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!

 

November Fancy Friday - My Christmas Card

 Hello and Happy Friday! Hope that that you are having a wonderful day. Are you in the midst of holiday prep? I know here in our home we are! Shopping, wrapping, and getting set up for all of our traditions and new experiences! This month, we here at Fancy Friday are sharing our Christmas Cards!!! I like sending out a lot of cards, so I don't usually go "over the top" for the majority of the ones I send out. I think I really like what I came up with this year...

 

  They kind of inspire me too. I love the word JOY. It resonates deeper with me than just "happy" 

  It's a fairly simple card, but it does require the use of a Big Shot die cutting machine and a few of our dies. The large letter alphabet set is a set of dies I have probably used at least a hundred times - I use it for so many things. I LOVE how with just simple Very Vanilla cardstock, it makes such a statement on this card.

  I also love the way that the Gold Glimmer paper plays against the simple look of the tone on tone Buffalo Plaid check on Crumb Cake. 

 This is a simple layout, with simple elements, but I thought I'd show you a quick way to get a different look from the exact same elements!

 

 I think either layout totally works! 

  We have some new designers joining us for Fancy Fridays now! Check out the hop, I know you won't be disappointed! Next up is the talented Krista Frattin!

As always, I want to remind you how much I truly appreciate the opportunity to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. 

    I am also so happy to announce that I have an extra special perk for you now when you purchase from me! Place an order of $50 or more and receive a full color, 14 project tutorial from seven amazingly talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, including yours truly.

#tgifc187 Technique Time - Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree Sympathy card

This week's #tgif challenge is kind of a fun one. Especially if you are/were a Seinfield fan :)  I remember when I first started stamping, I think I sponged almost every single card I made! Seems like lately though, I tend to forget about my sponges/daubers... it was kind of cool to pull them out. I kept my technique pretty simple, but there are SOOO many things you can do with them. I can't wait to see not only what the rest of the design team comes up with, but what all our players create as well!

(clicking on the graphic above will take you to the #tgifc blog)

  Like most people, I don't care for making Sympathy cards. I always say I will make them when I don't need them, but that doesn't usually end up being the case. Unfortunately, I needed this one when I made it. One of my sweetest friends (who happens to be on our tgif design team) recently lost her adorable puppy. She's also a mom of 3 young boys, so I knew it would be rough on them, so I wanted to send her a card to let her know I was thinking about them.

 

  I used my well-loved, yet often over-looked Lovely as a Tree stamp set. I used the brush tip to achieve the 2 colors on the tree, then used a sponge dauber to add some color to the ground area and in the foliage of the tree to give it some fullness and depth. I used our regular sponges to add the shading on the Crumb Cake layer.

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.

PCC315 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Perennial Birthday

 Hi there! Hope you are having a great day! I'm super excited to share this week's Paper Craft Crew Challenges Sketch Challenge with you. I actually made over 30 of these to swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators at our recent OnStage event in Orlando. I had the best time, with some wonderful friends!!! Seeing them, plus being around so many other great stampers is one of my favorite reasons to attend Stampin' Up! events. Something to keep in mind if you might be interested in joining my team :)

  

 It was such a great sketch, and so fun to work with!

 

 I LOVE the bright, bold color combo and the white embossed sentiment on the black!!! It was simply stunning!!! To add the color to the flower, I used sponge daubers, then cut out the flower and leaves.

#tgifc186 Double Inspiration Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sneek Peek

 Hi everyone!!! I know I was pretty quiet last week, but I was in Orlando with about 6,000 other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, learning and laughing. One of the fun perks of attending is FREE STAMP SETS!!! They're usually sneak peeks too!!! My card this week features one such set - Humming Along! It's a great coloring set, with a gorgeous little hummingbird that I'll be featuring on a card soon.

 This week it's actually kind of a double challenge. We could either use the above photos, or feature our new stamp set. I tried to combine them the best I could, using the colors from the photos and the set!

 I colored the flower and rectangle while I was in Orlando, and built the card around the pieces once I got home. The die for the label that the sentiment is stamped on comes in the stamp set's coordinating die set!!! However, do you spot another sneak peek???? 

 

 I felt like I needed to balance the card out and fill some of the "white space" in the upper left corner, so I stamped the hibiscus again on my Petal Pink cardstock with Petal Pink ink. I stamped it off once first so that it was nice and subtle.

  What do you think? Did I manage to do both challenges justice? I really, really, really, hope that you'll play along with us this week. The other members of the Design Team created some gorgeous projects as well to help inspire you. Make sure you check them out!

#tgifc185 Sketch Challenge Stampin' Up! Petal Palette

Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

   It's a sketch challenge week for us over at TGIF Challenges! This sketch served as the perfect inspiration for me for an "Over the Top" card!

 I loved all the pretty layers! I knew I wanted a really "white" card, so to make it over the top, I knew it would need plenty of texture! What do you think?

#TGIF184 Color Challenge and Fancy Friday Blog Hop - Christmas

 Hi!!! I am so happy to be hopping with this talented group of stampers again this month. My recent hip surgery kept me out last month, so I was really looking forward to this.

 This month we had to reschedule a little bit, so we are a week later - but we still have a TON of gorgeous inspiration for you. This month we are showcasing Christmas inspired projects for you. I'm combining this with this week's TGIF Color Challenge! Sometimes you just have to try to be efficient!

 I am still playing around with some different Christmas Card ideas, so I thought I would see if I could get a nice Americana/Rustic look with this color combo.

  Well - I think it worked! Using the Tin Tile Embossing folder sure does help though! After embossing, I sponged it a bit with the three colors to age it and give it a little depth. The snowman is stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored in with our regular Stampin' Write Markers.

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.

We Create Blog Hop - Novemeber - Gratitude with Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest

 Hello, November! I am a FALL junkie to be honest. I love just about everything about it, except for the fact that I live where we really don't have a great one. I think it might be time for a road trip. One of the main reasons I love Fall is that I find myself becoming more mindful of all of the reasons I have in my life to be grateful. I love that Gratitude is our theme this month, as I feel it is something that most of us can definitely work on in our lives.

  

 I wanted to create something that had a nice Fall feel that would also be a great card to send to just about anyone that I could acknowledge some gratitude towards. 

 

 

 

 I stamped the beautiful sunflower image in the same colors as the card stock - Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede. Using the Stamparatus for this ensures that you really get the images lined up nicely.

 If you don't have the Subtle Thick Impressions Embossing Folder, you NEED to add it to your list - like NOW!It's just the right thing when you want to add just that little something, but more stamping or embellishments just aren't it.

Next up is Kimberley - she has the cutest project with Falling For Leaves!

Just Because - a Fun Halloween Decor Idea - Stampin' Up! Style

 Just wanted to share this cute decor idea. I had created it for a recent blog hop that got rescheduled - which was a blessing in disguise, because my blog was down for a few days.

 So I'll just cut to it -

  I had a few of these Ikea frames sitting in my closet, just waiting for a project apparently, so I grabbed a package of the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper and got to cutting! Thanks to the great images, this came together pretty quickly.

PCC311 Paper Craft Crew Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Trick or Tweet

 Hi there! Welcome back!!! It's a gorgeous day here in Las Vegas, and it's hard to stay inside, however I have a LOT of stamping to do!!! So much going on in the next few weeks! I was able to get this cute card done for this week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge in all of my crafting craziness!

  This bright color challenge screamed Halloween for me, and even though I don't usually do Halloween cards (usually just treats and decor) I couldn't help but play with these cut little guys!

  I think that they are ADORABLE!!! Once again I had some fun coloring with my Stampin' Blends. These really are such a valuable tool to have in your craft room. They truly elevate your coloring!

  I did do a little masking in order to group the animals together. I stamped the Dog and Cat on the Thick Whisper White cardstock, and then again on a sticky-note. I cut out the images that were on the sticky notes, and placed them over the stamped images for my card. Then I was able to stamp the Elephant and made him look like he was just behind them.

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.

#tgifc181 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Country Home

 Hello, and Happy Friday! It's time for another sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges, and when I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for an Anniversary card for my hubby. Yesterday was our 15th wedding anniversary!!!!

   Every year I try to incorporate some sort of element from our wedding into the card I make. This year it was kind of just that country feel and the purples like I had in the florals decorating the wedding.

   I still haven't done a lot of stamping since my surgery. It's been challenging getting back in to the groove of things, and well, it's still pretty uncomfortable to stand or sit too long.

   I absolutely love the images from the Country Home stamp set, and I especially love the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder!!! It's perfectly lovely! The image is colored in using Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut. I don't often use this many layers on my cards, so it was fun to try to pair up all the different elements!

 Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.
