#tgifc335 Inspiration Challenge - Featuring Stampin' Up! Pretty Pumpkins Bundle

 Hi there! Happy Friday. I hope this finds you doing well today. I know it's been a while since I have posted, but after a wonderful weekend trip to Atlanta to take my son to see the panda bears he's wanted to see his whole life, I had a lot of catching up and cleaning to do. My office has take the brunt of "just toss it in Mom's office" the last year and a half, and I couldn't take it any more! Lots, and lots of cleaning and purging and organizing!

 I took a small break to create a card for this week's TGIF Challenge though, mostly because I LOVED the inspiration image....LOL. I have quite a collection of pumpkins,  and love adding them to my home,  mixed in with all of my Pool Party colored decor. I love the beautiful contrast. 

I loved the challenge graphic and really wanted to try to recreate it on my card,  so I knew I needed to watercolor! 

  The pumpkin and leaves were cut from our gorgeous Fluid Watercolor Paper.  I stamped the leaves from Plentiful Plants very lightly in Sahara Sand ink, then watercolored over them using Soft Succulent and Merry Merlot. The pumpkin uses Pumpkin Pie,  Cajun Craze,  and Soft Suede. 

I love the soft colors and the little touches of bling from the Champagne Rhinestone Gems. What do you think?

Stampin' Fancy Friday Design Team - Sketch Challenge turned teen boy birthday card

 Hey friends!!! Did you see today's Fancy Friday Design Team post on Instagram? My card was showcased featuring this month's great sketch challenge :)

 It is a gorgeous sketch, and I felt a little bad altering it, but it ended up working out perfectly for my son's birthday card!

 I didn't do a major alter...I don't think. What do you think, did I alter it too much? 

 I needed to change it up a little to make it work with what I wanted to use - ah the beauty of sketches... My kid's favorite color has always been green. It does make some things easy. I think just about every birthday card I have ever made for him has had green in it. With doing this fun ombre' in-laid die cut technique, I was definitely able to focus on some of our awesome greens!

#tgifc333 Sketch Challenge Blossoms in Bloom

 Hi there! Happy Friday. I am so excited to bring you another fun TGIF Challenge this week. This week it's a great little sketch challenge, which of course I took a little bit of liberties with. LOL - I often do!

 I think this is a great, very versatile sketch and can't wait to see what all the challengers do with it too! 

 I didn't stray too far from the sketch! LOL

 I was kind of going for a "Fall Floral" look here and love how the gorgeous floral image from Blossoms in Bloom look sponged with multi colors and layered over the gorgeous MUST HAVE Sale-A-Bration Specialty Paper - Be Dazzling. This stuff is SERIOUSLY AMAZING! After I sponged the various colors directly on to the stamp, I gave the stamp a little mist of water to make the image appear even more like a watercolor, then I did cut them out by hand to create the one large piece. I layered a few of the leaf images behind it for some great depth. A tiny bit of Linen Thread, and Gold Embossing on Merry Merlot, and BOOM. What do you think?

OSAT Blog Hop - Step It Up! Christmas Tags with Stampin' Up! Snowman Season

 Hello friend!!! Thank you so much for stopping by today. My guess is that you are here enjoying the amazing One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop today. There should be some amazing projects for you today, especially with this month's great theme - Step It Up! We are featuring projects at different skill levels to inspire everyone today!

Ok, so I will admit. I have had a bit on my plate, and I am currently on my way to Atlanta to take my son to fulfill his lifelong (he's 11) dream of seeing pandas in real life. We had planned the trip for his 10th birthday last year, but with covid we've had to postpone it. I can not wait to see the look on his face when he FINALLY get to see them! I think I will probably cry. 

 Why did I tell you all that? Well, you see...we were supposed to create one project at THREE different skill levels. I created one at TWO. One more beginner, and one a little more experienced. Once I realized my error, it was honestly too late to create another level in there for y'all, but I am hoping you will forgive me :) please? The tags are pretty cute.....

 Here's the more simplified version - 

 To create the tags, start with a 2"x 4 1/4" strip of cardstock, and use the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Add 1"x 2" strips of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, then add a stamped and punched snowman. 6" pieces of the Black and White Glittered Organdy Ribbons are threaded through the hole, and secured with a length of Linen Thread. You only need Memento Black ink for these, and a Pumpkin Pie marker for the carrot nose if you choose.

Here are the stepped up tags - 

 While it might not look like a LOT of changes, there are definitely a few extra touches. To create these, you would start the same way, except before adding the Designer Series Paper, you would want to stamp the snowflake image in Versamark Ink on each of the tags. You would also stamp and color each of the hats with Stampin' Blends on Thick Basic White before punching out with the coordinating punch, as well as add a little shading with a Light Pool Party Bend on the snowman. These little guys are popped up on Dimensionals to give the tags more interest. You would also add a length of the Black and White Gingham Ribbon, and secure the ribbons by tying a piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon around them. Small changes, but the do step the tags up a bit!

 So - being as I messed up and only did the two samples, I was thinking of ways that you could step them up even more. Here are a few ideas.

• Create a second tag in one of the coordinating colors of cardstock and emboss it with one of awesome Embossing Folders, maybe the snowflakes from Wintry 3D. Stack them and tie them together with the ribbons. 
• Add a coordinating layer of cardstock as a mat under the Designer Series Paper strip.
• Stamp the arm images before punching them out.
• Add some Red Rhinestones to the hat where the berries are.
• Heat emboss the snowman image before punching out in Black Embossing Powder. You could also emboss the "to/from" the same way.

I hope I have inspired you today with these tags. I know that there is bound to be amazing inspiration in today's hop, and I invite you to continue on with the hop and check them all out!

Creation Station Blog Hop - Artfully Stepped Up, Stampin' Up! Sweets & Treats

 Hi stamping friend! Glad to have you stop by today. I am so happy to be creating with the wonderful Creation Station team today. Super fun theme for you too, Step It Up. In case you aren't familiar with the term, it's taking a simple project, and adding to it to create something more detailed... You might have figured that out, but in case it's an unfamiliar term, hopefully that helps. I actually did this backwards, I'll tell ya what I mean....

 I actually created my "Stepped Up" version first. I tend to create on a more "avid" level, so often times my cards have a lot of detail, layers, techniques and or supplies. So it seemed natural to me to just create that way, then see if I could figure out a more simple version. 

 As you can see, the cards do look very similar. I'll give you a few details on the "simple" version first.

 For this card, I tried to go back to my roots - no punches, not heat embossing, no pressure embossing or die cuts - not even Designer Series Paper!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Just some cardstock, ink, a few Stampin' Blends and a couple of Red Rhinestone Gems added in for good measure. I did very minimal shading on the image, and even used my Stampin' Blends to create my own "Designer Paper"

 So the first card was just fine, but this card is my heart!!!! I LOVE this card and how it turned out. The layers, the coloring, the texture....everything! I added a lot more detail and texture to this card, with layering the colored image, using the scalloped rectangular die cut, adding some Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, and distressing the edges of the Pear Pizzazz layer.

 I am seriously stoked to visit everyone's blog today. Next up is Julie!

#tgifc332 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Be Jolly (and why does photography have to be so hard sometimes?)

 Hello stamping friend! Happy Friday!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Are you just as confused as I am how it is September already? I look back on this past year, and honestly, it's kind of flown by. Whether it's gone by quickly or slowly for you, it's here which means it's time for a new color challenge at TGIF Challenges.

 Ok, so here is my "photography is hard moment" I must have photographed this card like a hundred times! Sometimes it was just an issue of getting the Basic White cardstock to look WHITE. Every time I fixed that, my Cherry Cobbler coloring got nice and bright like Real Red. UGH. Get the Cherry Cobbler to look right, the rest of my photo looks gray. ANYHOW. Part of me wanted to add a collage of a few of the photos, but I'll just stick the pics that come closest to showing you that I really did use the colors in the challenge!!!! LOL

 Seriously, pictures inside, pictures outside... I PROMISE Santa is colored with Cherry Cobbler Blends. He has a cool Cinnamon Cider combo of boots, belt and gloves, and they coordinate with his Cinnamon Cider sleigh full of Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow gifts. See that adorable tree behind him? Also rockin' the Mossy Meadow pine needles. 

He's just so stinkin' adorable.... I can't help it. I LOVE coloring him too. Did you see the one I made a few weeks ago where he was rockin' the Polished Pink suit?

 Thanks for reading through all that! LOL I really, really love the way this card ended up turning out. I hope that you like it too.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing - Hope Box

 Hello! Welcome! It feels like it's been forever since I've blogged, or stamped for that matter. Things have been bust here. Lots of challenges. Little challenges, but lots of them. I hope that today finds you well :)

 Today I get the chance to hop with the Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop crew, to share some great alternative projects from the gorgeous Hope Box. This box was seriously probably one of my all time favorite boxes ever. Funny thing is, I can say that even though there's scary butterflies (lol). I LOVE the colors and cards and the sentiment stamps. What an awesome kit. Thanks to the awesome Paper Pumpkin team at Stampin' Up! for this one!

 I could hardly believe all of the gorgeousness included in the box, never mind the fact that the box itself can be decorated!!!

 I absolutely LOVED the fun, bright colors in the kit, and the gorgeous watercolor look. I decided to keep with the bright color theme with my cards today.

 

 For this clean and simple style card, heat emboss the small butterfly image with white Stampin' Emboss Powder, then use Sponge Daubers to add Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Bumblebee, Bermuda Bay, and Blackberry Bliss on top. To make sure that the embossed images popped, wipe off any excess ink. You'd also want to emboss the sentiment to keep with the same feel.

 I LOVE this card, and plan on making lots more of it! I kept the background a bit on the simple side so that the multicolored sentiment would be the star of the show. To create this look, just take the same sponge daubers as above and add the ink colors directly to the stamp! Easy, and such a great impact.

 Fun, right? The possibilities from this Paper Pumpkin kit are endless, and I can't wait to see all of the great projects from this hop!

#tgifc329 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Be JOLLY!

Hello and Happy Friday! I am so happy that you stopped by today! I have a fun card to share with you that I created for this week's TGIF Challenge!

 How adorable are the Santas in the Be Jolly stamp set? I could just squeeze them!!! I treated myself to this set just so I could color them. Seiously, I LOVE them. Now, I am not sure why I thought about coloring him in a Polished Pink suit, but well....these things happen, right?

 Yes - he's rocking a pink suit, and I think it "suits" him just fine!!! LOL. He even has some sparkles on his hat and sleeve trim! This was a pretty fun card to put together. In addition to the Santa I colored in with my Stampin' Blends, I stamped the star image in Polished Pink ink on a piece of Polished Pink Cardstock, then added it to a piece of Coastal Cabana that was embossed with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.

OSAT Blog Hop Turning a New Leaf - Bloom Where You Are Planted

 Hey there!!!! Hope this finds you doing well today. I am a happy mom...after a very long time, my kids are back in school full time. I have loved having them home, but I am LOVING the quiet time to focus on stamping and my business!!! That made it a lot easier to create these projects for this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for you!

 This month's theme is all about LEAVES!!! Now when I first saw the theme, I thought for sure that I would create something with yummy, fall colors...but then I was flipping through my supplies and found my pack of the gorgeous Bloom Where You Are Planted Designer Series Paper, and suddenly, my ideas took a sharp turn.

Honestly, I did very little stamping on these, basically just the sentiments!!! Everything else is from the Designer Series Paper, and a few other awesome products thrown in, like our new treat boxes, and our Tasteful Label Dies!

All I added to this wonderful pattern for the front of this card was a Vellum label cut from the Tasteful Labels Dies, A sentiment embossed in White Embossing Powder on some Cinnamon Sider cardstock, and a GORGEOUS plant image that I fussy cut from one of the other papers in the pack.

 The Scalloped Craft Treat Box was the perfect start for a box to complete this cute little set. I wrapped a strip of Evening Evergreen cardstock around it, and covered the ends with another Tasteful Label, then added some Linen Thread and another embossed sentiment and fussy cut plant! Talk about quick and easy!

 I hope that you enjoy the hop this month! I can't wait to see all of the great ideas!!!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - The Adventure Begins

 Hello and welcome back! I am so excited to share some fun alternative ideas with you today, featuring the Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, The Adventure Begins.

 Some months I love going really over the top with the Paper Pumpkin alternates, but this month kind of called for a different look for me. I decided to make a card and mini notebook for one of my boys as he returns to school. I thought that the sentiment really leant itself, and it would be a nice little surprise for him. 

 I did put more detail in to the card, and kept the little notebook very simple, with the hopes that he will keep it in his backpack as a spot to write down hopes, dreams, and accomplishments as he goes through this coming school year. That meant no dimension, no embellishments. Just a stamp, some ink, and some cardstock. I don't want anything to get caught as he uses it.

 I did add a little embossing on the card with the pine detail from Wintry 3D Embossing Folder set. It also comes with a gorgeous snowflake one! I also added a few little swirls of some Linen Thread for even more interest. Lots of Stampin' Dimensionals on this one too - behind the Granny Apple Green Tree, behind the embossed layer, and behind the Basic White layer.

 I actually love this tree image from the kit and plan on adding it in to a lot of my projects! I know that you will find so many great ideas on today's hop. I can't wait to see all of the inspiration. Treat yourself to a full trip around, and please leave some comment love on any of the projects that you like!

#tgifc326 Inspiration Challenge - Dress Up Those Envelopes! Stampin' Up! Plentiful Plants

 Hi there and happy Friday. Hope you've had a great week. I am excited about today's tgif challenge. Something a little different. 

 I think I over-thought this challenge a little. Word of advice. Don't. LOL. Seriously. Decorating your envelopes can mean stamping on the front or back, lining the inside with Designer Series Paper, creating a custom flap with Designer Series Paper, or going all out and creating your very own custom envelope. Thing is - DO YOU!!!

 I embossed my flap, lined the envelope, and stamped the front. Then of course, I had to create a card to go with it!

 The Bloom Where You Are Planted Designer Series Paper is still on sale this month - so DON'T MISS OUT!!!

#tgifc324 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Sweet As A Peach

 Hi friends!!!! I am back for another #TGIF Friday Challenge for you! This week is a great sketch challenge. 

 Ok, so I say it's a great sketch...but honestly, I STRUGGLE with diagonals! I really don't know why. I know I could've switched my card design around in my head a little and it would've been easier, but it was SO specific in my head... LOL! I'm glad I stuck with it. Do you design with diagonal lines like this? Is there a secret?

I think if I would have added a strip over the TOP of where the two layers meet, it definitely would've been easier. Not me though, I had it in my head I wanted the two panels separated by the sentiment/card base. Silly me!

 I absolutely LOVE the Balmy Blue in the You're A Peach Designer Series Paper. It is the PERFECT offset to the Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral colors. Heck, I just love this entire pack of Designer Series Papers. It's BEAUTIFUL. I am so glad it's on sale this month. Have you stocked up on it yet?

 Here's a little tip for you. To get the added shading on the peaches, use a Sponge Dauber to add a little touch of Calypso Coral ink to the stamp, after inking them in Pale Papaya! To make the peach branch stand out a little more, add some Balmy Blue Ink to the Basic White Cardstock with a Blending Brush!

OSAT Blog Hop - Christmas in July - Blending some new with some older....

 Hello! Welcome back, and welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! I am so excited to be doing this month's Christmas in July with these great designers. Do you work on Christmas projects in July? I think it's a nice break, plus it does help us get ahead...even if only a little, right?

 I haven't really started purchasing any new Christmas stamps or bundles yet, but I did fall in love with the new Christmas Designer Series Pack in this year's Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, Tidings of Christmas. It's featured with the Tidings of Christmas Suite, but I think that it would coordinate with SO MANY of our stamp sets, so I decided I would pair it with a stamp set I fell in love with last year, Perfectly Plaid. Not to mention, the Tidings of Christmas Paper is ON SALE this month!!!

 Are you loving the new Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen In-Colors? The color combo in this paper is just wonderful, and I love how these colors pair with the Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler, and Misty Moonlight designs.

 I used a well loved, tried and true, go-to card sketch for this one. Do you have a favorite sketch? This is probably one of mine. I did something I don't usually do on a project though. Do you know what it is? I actually used three different patterns on this card. It's easy to do with these great designs, they are perfect for mixing and matching!

 I love the way the Ombre' Gift Bag turned out! I will say, that embossing it with the pine pattern from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder did make it a little delicate, so be careful with what you put inside of it, but it's SO PRETTY! I swiped my White Craft Ink Pad over the embossed areas and I just love the touch it gives. I created the tags with scraps from the card, super quick. What do you think about the little tree clip? It's just a small clothespin, and I think that it makes a great little truck. Just cut the trunk off of the punched tree, and boom! lol

 I sure hope that you enjoyed my projects today. If you would like to recreate them, here is a full product list for you, already linked to make it nice and easy for you! When you order over $50 from me using the hostess code Z9XAQ23P, you can choose any of my PDF Tutorial Bundles for Free.

Creation Station Blog Hop - All About that TEXTURE - Stampin' Up! Bloom Where You Are Planted Fun Fold Card

 Hey, Hey, Hey!!! Hi my stamping friends!!! Welcome back for this month's Creation Station Blog Hop! What a fun one it is too! It's all about adding one of my favorite thigs - TEXTURE!

So when I saw this challenge, I started looking through all of my sets, trying to figure out what to make. Then I remembered this card that I made during a virtual retreat recently hosted by my friend Amy Combs. She provided a sample, and all of the supplies, but like the rebel I am (HA HA HA HA) I changed things up a bit and made it my own. Advantages to sharing this card with you and not making another one?  A)It's cute B)It was already done and I am a bit swamped at the moment C)It has a lot of texture!

I love all the texture on the front - the awesome Macrame 3D Embossing Folder on the gorgeous Evening Evergreen Cardstock, the heat embossed sentiment, 2 different ribbons with different textures, plus the Linen Thread. Then, check it out, all the plants on this card come straight from the Bloom Where You Are Planted Designer Series Paper that happens to be on sale this month! What's not to love? Then you open the inside. Not more texture, but something seriously fun.

There's like this cute little bonus card that slides out of the pocket on the right and opens up, then when you close the card, it slides right back in! So FUN!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I would love to be able to help you with all of your Stampin' Up! needs if you are in the US.

#tgifc323 Color Challenge - A different take with the Stampin' Up! Stitched Greenery Die

Hello and Happy Friday!!! I have been a busy little stamper lately! I posted four projects yesterday, this card today, and have another one posting Sunday!!! It's been so much fun. I LOVED the cards I posted for yesterday's We Create Blog Hop, but I'm just as excited about today's TGIF Color Challenge Card.

 I went back and forth between a few ideas. I kept leaning towards flowers, but just wasn't feeling it! Not sure why. I ultimately decided I wanted to do some watercoloring, and thought I would try something really new to me!!! I LOVE how it turned out!

 The main background is created by running a piece of our Fluid 100 Water Color Paper through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. I honestly hesitated on investing in this Die, and I am SO GLAD I DID!!! It makes this WONDERFUL textured and subtle background. I used a Water Painter and Granny Apple Green ink to color the leaf image. Took a few minutes, but I must admit, it's rather stunning in person. I brought in the Polished Pink Fresh Freesia from the challenge by making a "Tammy" bow. I love the look of the thin ribbon that you get when you cut these ribbons in half up the middle and then use them to tie your bow.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I would love to be able to help you with all of your Stampin' Up! needs if you are in the US. Here is a linked shopping supply list for you, and when you order over $50 using the hostess code Z9XAQ23P, you can choose any of my PDF Tutorial Bundles for Free.
