#tgifc277 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Beautiful Friendship - A Practically Perfect Stamp Set

 Hi there! Happy Friday! SO glad to have you back today, joining me with the TGIF crew and our Sketch Challenge for this week! This week I used one of the BEST stamp sets to create a birthday card specifically for one of the most important people in my life.

 There's something wonderful about EASY floral stamp sets. The kind that you can just grab a few stamps, a few ink colors, randomly stamp (kind of) and come up with a beautiful, natural looking arrangement of flowers! Beautiful Friendship is that kind of set. It made it a natural for me to grab when I wanted to create a birthday card to the best Sister In Law in the world.

I wanted something bright and cheery, so I chose a light color palette, focusing on the Subtles. I suggest starting with your largest flowers, then work your way down to the smaller one. You can fill in with the little accents and the leaves to fill in any blank spots. After I stamped, I did run it through my embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The coordinating strip across the front is embossed with the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder. 

Ok, I have to brag on myself a little, or tell on myself, depending on how you want to look at it. I have a tendency to hoard the special embellishments. Is it just me? LOL. Anyhow, I told you, this card was going to no ordinary woman! She deserves the In Good Taste Embellishments (and a lot more) SO I USED THEM!!!!LOL

The good news is, I was already able to give it to her, and she loved it! I am so glad that our Stampin' Up! products make it so easy to create beautiful projects!

 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 FKVPSAGK. Remember also, that I will send you a free tutorial bundle when your order reaches $50 or more!

#tgifc276 Color Challenge - Unconventional Christmas with Stampin' Up! Snowflake Wishes

 Happy Friday, y'all!!!! Well, it's still over 100 degrees out here in Las Vegas. Maybe the heat is getting to me, because when I saw this week's bright color combo over at the TGIF Challenges Blog, I thought of snowflakes?!?!

 Now, I am sure that YOU are thinking that the heat is getting to me too! LOL.

 I really did think of snowflakes, and I wanted to create one of the trendy "slim line" cards that so many are making lately. Take a peek, tell me what you think.

 These snowflakes are going to be SO MUCH FUN!!! There's a FABULOUS coordinating die set, but you can totally make cute things without them too!!! 

   Take a look at some of the details

 The base of the card is 8 1/2" x 8", scored at 4". I have seen the cards this size, and also 8 1/2" x 7", scored at 3 1/2" 

 I stamped a strip of Whisper White cardstock full of Magenta Madness, Coastal Cabana, and Gorgeous Grape snowflakes, then cut the squares to be matted on Smoky Slate. MOST of the snowflakes I did stamp off one time on my Grid Paper first, to tone down the bright colors.

 I added some vellum snowflakes cut with the So Many Snowflake Dies, and made them sparkle with some Wink of Stella. I also added a few Adhesive Backed Snowflakes and a thin strip of the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon.

 Do you just LOVE that new snowflake embossed background? It's the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and will add just the right touch to your Christmas/Winter themed projects this year.

 Ok, so here are the supplies you'll need if you want to make this card. I'm including the ink pads that I used, but of course you could always recreate this card with your choice of colors.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Summer Nights

 Hey, hey! Did you just LOVE this last month's Paper Pumpkin kit? I know I did! I had so much fun playing with the Summer Nights box and AWESOME add on kit! I came up with a few alternatives for you, and so did all the rest of the amazing designers on this hop!

 I love that we get to come up with a card idea and a "3D" type item! I always TRY to get them coordinate, they don't always, but I managed to pull it off this month. Do you like making 3D/giftable items with your Paper Pumpkin kit supplies?

 I'll share my gift item with you first - 

 I had this sweet little jar candle that was kind of begging to be dressed up. I wrapped a piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper around the candle, and tied it in place with a length of the sweet Bumble Bee Gingham Ribbon. I then made a little tag with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The sentiment from the Summer Nights set was stamped in Versamark ink and embossed. The little jar is also from the Summer Nights set. I cut off the little hanger and made one with Linen Thread.

 I made the card after I did the candle, and wanted them to coordinate - 

 I used the same Designer Series Paper and sentiment, then added the cute little  Lightening Bug die cuts and the AWESOME vellum jars from the kit. To make the bugs a little extra fun, I added some Elegant Faceted Gems on their little bodies!

  It really is a fun kit with ENDLESS possibilities. There's still a few days left to get in on this month's kit - 

 

 I'm going to link up all of the supplies I used below, but first I want to make sure you can check out all of my friends who are hoping with us today!!!

 

Ok, are you ready for your shopping list? I'll list all of the Paper Pumpkin options. Of course you don't need to choose ALL of them, but there are options!!!

Creation Station Blog Hop "Where the Wild Things Are Party Animals" Stampin' Up! Zany Zebras Style

 Hey Hey!!! What's up, stampin' friend??? It's Creation Station time?!?! Do you love this monthly blog hop as much as I do? I mean, how could you not, right? Fun themes, great designers... talk about a fun theme this month - "Where the Wild Things Are Party Animals" Fun little mash up of ideas, right? While I am still mourning the loss of my pigs and cow stamp sets from our last catalog, I do have these sweet little, Zany Zebras that needed some ink love!

 Ok, so even though I couldn't put little flowers on my old Piggy Set to coordinate with that awesome pic, I knew I would have fun with the Zebras...

 This zebra just looked happy to me, so "WooHoo!" seemed totally appropriate. Got to love the Playful Alphabet Dies. I love being able to create so many different sentiments. In addition to the Zebra, I also used the Pattern Play stamp set. I actually used the backside of the pattern stamp to create the look of a watercolor wash of Pool Party ink in the background, then flipped it the right way on the block to stamp the pattern in Basic Gray ink.

 I did add some shading details to the zebra with my Gray Granite Stampin' Blends, and had to make the letters sparkle with a touch of a Wink of Stella brush!

 It's a cute card if I do say so myself, and it came together pretty quickly once I decided on my colors! To make it a little easier on you to recreate the card, here is a list of all the products that I used, so you can purchase them for yourself!

   Now, go do yourself a giant favor and check out the rest of the hop! Next up is Denita, and her projects are adorable!

We Create Blog Hop - "Snacks & Beverages" Create Stand-Out Treat holders with Stampin' Up!'s new Little Treats Bundle

 Hello, and HAPPY AUGUST!!! Ok, I am really hoping for a nice, normal, calm August. That being said, our family is going through some serious trials, so prayers would TOTALLY be appreciated! One thing that I am looking forward is spending more time back in my stamp room, creating for y'all - as in some NEW CLASSES!!! Woot Woot! I am sneaking in at the last minute with the We Create Blog Hop - to share some fun "Snacks & Beverages" ideas!!!

 Well, I got the "snacks" part done...but this new Little Treats Bundle from Stampin' Up! is SO inspiring, I might just keep creating with it today to make MORE treats and drink treats!!!

 To start off with, I went with the first one to pop in my head - Halloween! Not sure why, because it's 113 degrees here right now! LOL!!! Maybe because it's because of these cool, snack size packs of "Zombie" Skittles that I found...(you will have to fold in the sides of the little bag to keep them from sticking out the top)

 Want to know how to make it?

1.  Die cut one of the boxes from the Little Treat Box Dies (8 1/2" x 5" Smoky Slate Cardstock)
2. Use the scrap and cut one extra "front" or the box.
3. Emboss the "front" with the new Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder.
4. Highlight the cobweb by dragging a White Craft Ink pad lightly over the embossed image.
5. Punch Banner using the Banners Pick a Punch in a 3/4" strip of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock. Stamp sentiment in Versamark Ink and heat emboss in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Trim to size, and adhere to the bottom corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
6. Create the little flags by coloring direct on the stamp with Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black Markers, and trim. If you don't have the markers, you can always stamp two of the flag banners, one in each color and layer them after trimming. Adhere to the embossed front.
7. Die cut the little spider in the Little Treat Box dies from a scrap piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Highlight with Wink of Stella and adhere to the embossed front.
8. Embellish the front with small Rhinestones.
9. Adhere the embossed box front to the box using the Liquid Multipurpose Glue. Fold up the sides of the box, and insert your treat!
10. To tie the box shut, cut a length of Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon. Make it custom by coloring it in with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend. Thread through the hole in the top of the box.Tie a length of the ADORABLE Black and White Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack in a bow around the Granny Apple Ribbon!

 Now that you know how to make it, here is a complete supply list of all of the products that I used. A good majority of the products will be available on August 4th. Sorry that I am making you wait a few days, but at least you'll have your wish list ready!!!

#tgifc275 Inspired by Plaid and Sunflowers? Jar of Flowers from Stampin' Up! to the Rescue!

 Hello and Happy Friday! I am SO HAPPY!!! Not only is it Friday, but after the last 3 months of working outside of the home, doing my contract job at the hotels, I am DONE working - for a while. It's been a wonderful opportunity, but I am happy to be back at home with my boys and back in my STAMP ROOM! So when I had the opportunity to get some "therapy" in, I chose to play with some water-coloring and not only the beautiful Jar of Flowers stamp set, but a few other new products I hadn't played with yet!

 

  This inspiration was right up my ally. I love the country feel of plaids/gingham prints and sunflowers! I know I tend to run to my go-to Stampin' Blends Markers for coloring, I thought I would shake things up a little and do a little no-line water coloring. It's a really fun technique, where you stamp in a light color ink, then color in, using ink and a water brush. I might have been a little crazy!!!

I really do love watercoloring, and don't do it very often any more. I will admit, it's not the quickest technique!

 Despite the time invested, it was a fun card to create. I paired my water-color piece with a scrap of Mossy Meadow gingham print paper from an adorable Designer Series Paper that will be available in just a few days in our August-December catalog. I also added a fun little touch, by pulling a few threads from some Denim Ribbon for a casual bow.

 Do you see that little "V" banner end on the "friend" layer? Do you panic on cutting your own? Maybe struggle a little getting it even, or too deep? Well, we have the best new punch for you!!! It's a GREAT Pick-A-Punch, and will add the PERFECT "V" end in any strip of paper, 1/2", 3/4", or 1" !!! Looking for the "V" to point out instead? IT DOES THAT TOO!!! See!!! You NEED IT!

 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 FKVPSAGK, and you can choose a free tutorial as well, when you purchase at least $50!

#tgifc274 Product/Technique Challenge

 Hey friends!!!!

    Oh how I miss y'all. I miss stamping, I miss blogging, I miss creating. Life has just been pulling me in so many directions lately. I finally had to just sit the other day and start using some of the great Stampin' Up! products on my shelf for this week's TGIF Challenge.

 I know that the image features Designer Series Paper scraps, but I decided to go with solid card stock for my strips...

 I added strips of Pool Party and Smoky Slate on a background of Daffodil Delight. I cut them in random widths, and laid them on the background a little haphazardly to kind of mimic the inspiration graphic. A simple, bright Whisper White daisy, and casual sentiment complete the card. 

 Speaking of the sentiment - OMG - you NEED, like seriously NEED the Playful Alphabet Dies, and while you're add it, just go ahead and add a package or two of the Foam Adhesive Sheets - they make adding the letters WAY easier. I cut these out of one of the wood patterns in the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, it add a fresh little touch.

 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!

If you aren't familiar, Stampin' Up! releases 5 new, limited time colors every year, and they are only around for a 2 year span - so they are kind of a big deal, and one of the most anticipated releases each year. This year's colors are SO YUMMY!!!

 

Magenta Madness

Cinnamon Cider

Bumble Bee

Just Jade

Misty Moonlight

 So we were challenged to use only the In Colors and Whisper White. I was not so sure that I would be able to follow the rules. Now, I think we were supposed to create color combinations using the colors, but I went a little bit of a different route, but still managed to follow the rules... LOL!!!

I made a whole set of cards!

 One of the fun things about these cards is that there is ZERO stamping! Just a great Embossing Folder, Wonderful Designer Series Paper, and the BEST set of Alphabet Dies in forever! I'll include a full shopping list down below for you.

 Make sure that you check out our complete hop today, I know that it Going to be absolutely full of the best In Color inspiration anywhere! Next up is my sweet and talented friend Sarah Levin!

#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.

#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!
