#tgifc368 Sketch Challenge - More Cactus Cuties

 Hi there!

   Maybe I am feeling the pinch to play with this cute stamp set and punch bundle, being as it will only be available for a few more weeks!!! So it made sense that I grabbed a bunch of my left overs from creating last week's TGIF Color Challenge card, and put them to good work for this week's Sketch Challenge!

 I really had over-prepped for last week's card, so I just picked up the pieces and kept going, and I loved what happened!!!

 The builder punch for this set helped make this card come together so quickly and easily!

Here is an easy shopping list for you should you need it! This month's Host Code is TZHR3AA3 and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

OSAT Blog Hop - Hello, My Name is Good Feelings In Color!

 Hello! How are you doing this beautiful day? It's a great day here, because I get to create with some other awesome Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to bring you this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop, and this month's theme is "Hello, My Name Is". We are all about introducing you to some of the newest products just released in the new Annual Catalog! I chose to feature a fun new stamp set, Good Feelings, and the GORGEOUS new In-Colors!!!

 I love me a bold, happy sentiment stamp set and this one definitely delivers. Combined with some of our new 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Papers, I whipped up a quick batch of Thank You cards for my kiddo to send out after graduation (SOB). These are NOT AVID cards at all, they are however perfect for making a lot of, and they're still so CUTE!!!

 These were easy to mass produce, and are still totally adorable! I just prepped enough of each of the five In Colors to make 4 cards each, and just started mixing and matching. The colors look great together, so it was super easy. 

  I had a few scraps left over, so I decided to throw them on the front of a basic gift card holder along with another sentiment from the set... perfect for a Grad gift card for one of the "extra kids"

 Quick, easy, cute. Exactly what I need during this crazy, busy month!

 

Here is an easy shopping list for you should you need it! This month's Host Code is TZHR3AA3 and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

#tgifc367 Color Combo Challenge - Cactus Cuties

 Hello - I know, long time no see. Life just seems to be getting busier and busier these days! May just tends to be a crazy busy month here. Is it that way for you too? If so, I definitely feel ya! So glad I took a few minutes to sit and create for this week's TGIF Challenges the other day. It's a great color challenge!!!

 It was such a pretty color combo, I had to play along! I grabbed my Cactus Cuties bundle from the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog and just started having fun!

 It's such a fun set, and I wanted to try to make it soft and sophisticated, even if it doesn't seem like it really could be at first look. I think that the colors, and being very careful to get a soft, subtle image definitely made it work for this card!

OSAT Blog Hop - Just Blend It - Stampin' Up! Mischievous Mice

 Hey there!!!! I sure hope that you are having a fantastic day! I am happy to be sharing a couple of projects with you today that I created for this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop. This month's theme is Just Blend It, and I mainly used my Stampin' Blends Markers for the theme, but I did add in a little Blending Brush action too....

 I have been dying to color the sweet little mice images in the current Host set - Mischievous Mice. They are perfect for coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers. 

 I kept with the same color combo on the card and notebook, which made pulling these together a lot easier. It all started with that Daffodil Delight balloon!

I hope that you enjoy today's hop! There are sure to be so many cute blending ideas.

#tgifc361 Pop Of Color Challenge - Happiest of Birthdays

Hello friend!!!!

   I sure hope that you are doing great today. I am loving the beautiful Spring weather here in Las Vegas, even though they are forecasting 90 degrees tomorrow!!!! I might not be quite ready for that yet though! Hopefully, it's not TOOOOO bad! If so, I guess that just means more time in the stamp room escaping the heat! Earlier this week I had a chance to work on this week's TGIF Challenge - 

 There are so many fun ways you can work with this challenge! Make sure that you click on the image above so that you can see the rest of the team's cards!!!

 I decided to go with a fun technique I hadn't used in a while....

 I used two of the patterns from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper Pack for the background, then created my main sentiment piece. I stamped the large image in Versamark Ink on some Basic Black Cardstock and heat embossed it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Once it had cooled off, I used my Stampin' Blends in Magenta Madness, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay to color on top of the embossing. It's an easy, but fun technique that truly provides a POP of color!!!!

 What do you think? Do you like the technique? Have you tried it before?

Hopefully I have inspired you a little today! I am hoping that you get a chance to create a little over this next week too!

This month's Host Code is TZHR3AA3 and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

#tgifc359 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Flowers of Friendship

Hello and happy Friday! So grateful you took a few minutes out of your day to come visit my blog. Hopefully today's project based on TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge will inspire you!

 I decided to reach for a stamp set I haven't had the chance to use much yet, and paired it with a technique I haven't done in awhile - no line watercolor. I LOVE how it turned out, it game the images a completely different look.

 Have you tried no line watercoloring? I love it. I stamp the image with Sahara Sand once on my Grid Paper, then on to the watercolor paper. Then it's just having some patience to paint!

This month's Host Code is TZHR3AA3 and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

OSAT Blog Hop - Blooms

  Hello! Welcome back! I sure hope that you are having a fantastic day. It's a busy week here, so I'll get right to it! Welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - where this month it is all about the Blooms!

 While it's true that Sunflowers have long been a favorite of mine, and I have created so many projects with our Celebrate Sunflower Bundle, today's color inspiration definitely came from current events.

 

I started on the card by creating the watercolor pieces. After creating a color wash on the background of Balmy Blue and Navy, I worked on the sunflower. There might be an easier process, but this is what I did - I started by laying all the die pieces I wanted to use out on the Water Color Paper and lightly traced around them, giving myself a bit of extra space. Then I started painting in the areas a mix of all the colors I wanted to use. After die cutting the flower and leaves, I backed them by cutting out the solid dies, so that I could maintain the look of the detailed die image. It was a process, but a fun one!

 I kept the box on the simple side, keeping with the same color scheme, and I felt that the sentiment was especially fitting. The small sunflower stamped in Night of Navy on Night of Navy Cardstock is STUNNING! I think sometimes this set might feel overwhelming, but it doesn't need to be!

 I truly hope that you enjoy today's blog hop! This group always does an amazing job at inspiring me, and I hope it inspires you too!

Creation Station Blog Hop - Rainbow Rearrange - Stampin' Up! Rainbow of Happiness

Hello! Welcome back and Happy March. I sure hope you are having a fantastic day and enjoying this month's Creation Station Blog Hop - where it's all about a "Rainbow Rearrange" Reimagining, rethinking, flipping, or even recoloring the "traditional" rainbow. Rainbows seem to be everywhere nowadays - home decor, stationery, clothing, you name it you can probably find it with a rainbow on it. Whether it's a traditional rainbow, a bold and graphic, or a boho style rainbow, the rainbow trend is definitely a hot one!

 I chose to do something a little softer and more subdued, perfect for an upcoming baby shower I'm attending! I've done a few rainbow cards recently, scroll through my blog and check them out (or you can find them HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE - don't worry, they'll open in another window so it won't interrupt your hopping)

 I absolutely LOVE the color palette, and I really am beginning to think that you can use just about any color palette and end up with a cute card using this bundle.

 A few tips:

• To make sure that the clouds had enough contrast from the background, I embossed them with the Hive Embossing Folder
• To make the fringe on the clouds, add a strip of Tear Tape to the back of the clouds and add lengths of Linen Thread. Try to keep them close in length, but it's easy to give them a haircut!
• Ink spatters made by flicking the brush tip of your Stampin' Write Markers adds a subtle touch.

 I want to make it as easy as possible for you to make your own, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need to recreate the card exactly. This month's Host Code is XWJ2DK9K and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

OSAT Blog Hop - Slim Shady - Stampin' Up! Driving By

 Ok, I admit - that song is in my head now...I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady....

   FOCUS JEANNA! LOL. Hello, and welcome to this month's One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop. Our theme this month is based on the trend of "slimline" cards. Stampin' Up! even has a new fun stamp and die bundle, along with slimline envelopes. They are definitely on my "want list". Not having them though, I just made my own!

 I'm not sure that there are any real rules when it comes to a slimline card size, other than it being long and skinny. I've made all kinds of sizes, and sometimes even based the length around what I want to put on it. That was kind of what I did for this one. I created this card and tag for some birthday cookies for one of my son's best buddies, who's kind of earned bonus kid status at this point. 

I think it turned out pretty cute, and he liked it, so that's what's important, right? Here's a better look at the card...

 In addition to using Driving By (an awesome Sale-A-Bration stamp set that you can earn free)I used the Stitchery and Happiest of Birthdays stamp sets along with the cute little cloud dies from the Brilliant Rainbows Dies.

 The tag is pretty simple!!! I basically just copied the main elements of the design over to a tag that I cut from the Tailor Made tags. Those things are AWESOME. Do you have them yet? If not, WHY? You so need them!!!

 I will list all the supplies that you need to create this card below, but I want you to check out the other projects on this awesome hop first, k? 

 

 

 I want to make it as easy as possible for you to make your own, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need to recreate the card exactly. This month's Host Code is XWJ2DK9K and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

Creation Station Blog Hop - Time to Sale-A-Brate - Stampin' Up! Catching Butterflies

 Hi friend!!! Welcome back! I sure hope that you are doing well today. I'm excited to be hopping along with my friends at Creation Station for this month's blog hop featuring all the wonderful items from the current Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Brate catalog.

 There are some seriously awesome things to choose from. Do you know how to get yours? It's really easy, for every $50 purchase you can choose an item. There are a few higher valued items for if you purchase over $100. Let me know if you need help getting yours, I'm happy to help!

 Alright, on to today's card. Now, as much as I adore this little stamp set, there might be something about this card that I am even more excited about. Can you guess what it is? Hint - it's not the super adorable Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper that I love so much...

 If you've been around awhile you might have figured it out. It's our new Natural Tones Stampin' Blends Collection! We FINALLY have a skin tone solution!!! I have been waiting for this day forever. You COULD get two packs of skin tones, but I really suggest getting the set of 10. It's AMAZING.

 Wait - I am supposed to be sharing about Sale-A-Brate! (Well, if you get the set, you are super close to earning this sweet young lady for FREE or the Designer Series Paper) I made this card for a super sweet friend of our family's. I had fun trying to get the image to resemble her. I wanted it extra special, so instead of coloring the dress, I stamped it on the Designer Series Paper and carefully cut it out. I think it adds a nice touch. 

TIP - Use the mini black Stampin' Dimensionals under the sentiment!

You know you totally want to make one now, right?  Well, I want to make it easy for you, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need down below to recreate the card exactly. This month's Host Code is XWJ2DK9K and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

You will definitely want to check out the remainder of this blog hop though - it is absolutely unbelievable! Next up is Sara Levin (love her!) Hop all the way through until you get back to me!!!

Stampin' Fancy Friday Sketch Challenge - Rainbows of Happiness

Hello!!!! Welcome back friend!

   I sure hope that my post today finds you doing well. I appreciate you taking a few moments of your day to stop by for a visit. I get to kick off my busy weekend by showcasing my card for this month's Stampin' Fancy Friday Sketch Challenge! I hope that it makes you smile!!!

 Here is the sketch that we were asked to highlight....

 What a versatile sketch!!! I was on such a roll playing with my Rainbows of Happiness bundle that I just had to keep going! I will warn you this card is DEFINITELY for an AVID paper crafter. It took some time, but the results are absolutely stunning!!!

 See all those little rainbows in the background? They are all hand pieced from the negative that comes from the little label die-cut in the Brilliant Rainbows Dies. I cut like 5 of each of the 5 colors and threw them all in a bowl, then kind of randomly pieced them all on. I will tell you that whoever receives this card will definitely be someone VERY special. Other than the detailed piecing, the card is actually pretty easy. The Dies make easy work of that.

 I want to make it as easy as possible for you to make your own, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need to recreate the card exactly. This month's Host Code is XWJ2DK9K and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

#tgifc354 Color Challenge - Stampin' Up! Cactus Cuties

 Hello and happy Friday, friend!!! So, is it only me, or was January like the longest month ever that kind of also flew by? Either way, it's February now! I'm happy to be starting it off with this week's TGIF Color Challenge.

 

 

I'll admit, this one took me a little bit. I figured that being as I hadn't inked up my Cactus Cuties yet that it might be a good time.

 I had some fun with the textures on this one, but the star of the show is definitely that cute little cactus. I stamped the parts of the cactus in Soft Sea Foam Ink on Soft Cardstock. It comes together easy with the coordinating Cactus Builder Punch. Do you recognize the doily? It's one of the Heart & Home Doilies, just with the colored side down!

You know you totally want to make one now, right?  Well, I want to make it easy for you, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need to recreate the card exactly.

#tgifc353 Loaded Envelope - Stampin' Up! Rainbow of Happiness

Hi!!!!

  I am so glad that you stopped by today! How has your week been? I am getting over ANOTHER cold. The beginning of this year has been a bit of a struggle for me, but I'm hanging in. In addition to ME being sick, my poor kiddo dislocated his kneecap during wrestling practice and is now going to miss finals AND trying out for baseball. Super bummed for him, but he's in good spirits. I'm a lucky mom. Anyhow.... despite spending most of the week on the couch, I managed to muster enough energy yesterday to get a project done for this week's TGIF Challenge....and it's a FUN one!

 Have you ever made a loaded envelope? I hadn't, so I was pretty excited to try it out. Turns out that there are quite a few different ways to make them. If you take a look at our team page, you'll see just how different ours all turned out - even if we used similar supplies! Super fun.

 I thought it would be fun to make a mini loaded envelope so I used the ADORABLE Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper that you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration!!! Can I just tell you that you NEEEEED this paper - it's SO FREAKING CAYUTE!!!

EEEP! Ok, if you haven't made one, you totally should. This was SO fun. Being as it was a 6" x 6" piece of paper, I scored it at 1 5/8" from each of two sides, then turned it and scored it at 1 3/4". I folded the first score lines in and glued them closed, then folded the flap up at the 1 3/4" and glued it to the main part to create a pocket. Then I just started filling it with cute and fun little things!!!

 Ok, so I HAD to put the Skittles (taste the rainbow) in the rainbow treat holder, right? LOL!!!

 

You know you totally want to make one now, right?  Well, I want to make it easy for you, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need to recreate the card exactly. This month's Host Code is XWJ2DK9K and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)
