Stamp Time Somewhere

#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!

 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. Please note that the preview items aren't listed, as they won't be available until January

#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.

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 -

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.

#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.

PCC310 Tic-Tac-Toe Stampin' Up! Colorful Seasons

 Hello! Long time no see, I know. I'm still recovering from my surgery on my right hip last month, and this one seems to be a little harder than the left one that I had in May. I had tried to get ahead before surgery, but, well... Life. Anyhow, I am back, at least for this challenge. Standing too long and sitting too long hurt, so time in the stamp room is hit or miss.

 I chose to use the Colorful Seasons stamp set to create my card featuring Leaves, Fancy Fold, and Baker's Twine. I originally planned to do a typical "Fall" card with the Leaves, but I decided to switch things up a bit. I won't say this is the best card I've made, or one of my faves, but after not stamping for a month - I think it's pretty good.

 I did try to add a lot of detail. The base of the card is Petal Pink cardstock, with the delicate leaf image stamped in Blushing Bride ink. I added Gold Heat embossing, and lots of special touches thanks to the Big Shot and our awesome embossing folders and dies!!!

 Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card

PCC306 Sketch Challenge - I paired WHAT???

   Hello!!! Happy Wednesday! Hope that you are having a great week! I have been so busy this week, getting stuff sorted and sent out from my RETIRED ITEMS STAMP SALE on my FB page! I've so a lot, but there is still SOOOO much there. I'll also be posting a few more things this week! I've also been trying to get ahead a little on my stamping projects, as I will be having my second hip surgery this coming Friday! First up was this fun Paper Craft Crew sketch!

   This card is a little different for me - I used Designer Series Paper - lots of it. I admit, I sometimes struggle pairing things with the patterns, despite how well coordinated and easy Stampin' Up! makes it. Take a peek at today's though:

 I thought it would be fun and a little cheeky to cut these two little witches out of the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper (available TODAY in the NEW HOLIDAY CATALOG!!!) and have them be friends. When I went looking for the perfect friend sentiment though, I was a little surprised that I found just what I was looking for in the Animal Outing stamp set!!! Who would have thought. Not only was the sentiment perfect, but there is a sweet little line image that worked great for adding some detail to my strip of Gorgeous Grape card stock.

Just to make things a little easier for you, here is a list of supplies that I used for this card. I am so grateful when you choose me as your Demonstrator!

We Create Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to September!!! Are you ready? Are you ready for cooler temps, changing leaves, and all things Pumpkin Spice? I am. It got to a high of 96 here yesterday, which is AWESOME! So I was definitely ready to start creating some Fall themed cards and to see what the rest of the We Create Bloggers created for Fall as well.

I decided to use a stamp set that might not scream Fall, but I hope that with the right colors, you can see how this set could be used to evoke that feeling of Fall. Just for fun, after I created the main focal panel of the card, I tried it on four different colored card bases, just to show the different "feeling" you can achieve with just a simple switch!

Cajun Craze

Mango Melody

Old Olive

Blackberry Bliss

 

 Isn't that kind of fun? The roses are stamped in Memento ink and colored with a combo of Mango Melody and Cajun Craze Blends, the leaves are Old Olive. Do you have a favorite?

Just to make things a little easier for you, here is a list of supplies that I used for this card. I am so grateful when you choose me as your Demonstrator
