Fancy Friday - Memories and More from Stampin' Up!

 Hi there!!!! Happy Friday! Yup, it's already the last Friday of the month which means our Fancy Friday Blog hop is HERE!!! I am SO excited to see what the team does with this month's theme - Making Memories and More by Stampin' Up!

 Have you heard of Memories and More?

There are FOUR beautiful Collections available. If you would like to see them all you can click on the photo above. Today I am featuring Perfect Days!

 I was instantly drawn to the colors and patterns of this fun stack! I can use them for so many of my projects and pages - especially ones of my boys. It's such a great neutral color combo that I decided to seriously mix it up and throw in something a little unexpected - Berry Burst!

 I thought I would have fun with this bright color palette and make a fun little gift box! I LOVE the extra punch that adding the Berry Burst gives it! I made the box base with the Berry Burst cardstock and added a little punch with some of the extremely versatile Pick A Pattern Washi Tape around the bottom. I love this extra little detail.

 Do you like the tag? I used my Layering Circle Framelits to cut the sentiment out of one of the cards. I added a little more Washi tape and then my own little embellishment that I made with the White Perfect Accents (I couldn't find my Glitter Enamel Dots - they would have been PERFECT). To do this, I peeled the white backing off and used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere it to a piece of Berry Burst cardstock!

 

Here is the list of supplies that I used. By clicking on the images below, you can the items directly to your cart so that you can create this card, and MANY other projects too!!! Please enter 2XUWASBT as your hostess code, and I will send you a special thank you gift! (U.S. only) Don't forget, there's only 10 DAYS LEFT to earn your BONUS BUCKS COUPONS!!!

#TGIFC117 Summertime Blues

 Anyone have the Summertime Blues lately? I hope not, but in case you do, our design team hopefully has the answer for you. We want you to join us for this week's challenge!

 You can click on the image above to go to the #TGIF blog to see what we came up with and to play along! We wat you to be inspired by this theme however you see it, Maybe that's Summer, maybe it's the color blue, maybe you want to cheer someone with the blues up...however it inspires you, run with it!

 I thought that I would make 2 blue chairs my focal point, but I thought about a friend who needed some cheering up. I have a habit of calling people I love "Sunshine" so, it all seemed perfect!

 I'm thinking it should cheer her up! If you're ever looking for a QUICK card, let me tell you, this is IT!!! I used my Aquapainters to create a bright, Daffodil Delight wash on a piece of watercolor paper. The two chairs from the Seasonal Layers Thinlit Dies are in Island Indigo. I wanted the sentiment from Sunshine Sayings/Wishes to be nice and bold, so they are stamped and cut from Basic Black. A few Cherry Cobbler hearts covered in Wink of Stella added just the right finishing touch.

 I know I use a few different die sets in this card, but it just goes to show how extremely versatile our Big Shot and dies are! Plus, they can make really quick work out of making your cards and projects...

PCC252 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Colorful Seasons

 Have you ever seen a sketch and immediately felt inspired? That's exactly what happened for me this week! I knew that the AMAZING Colorful Seasons bundle was going to be used...now if I could only create what I saw in my head....

(please click on the photo above to visit the Paper Craft Crew Blog to see all of the inspiration and play along!)

 I "MIGHT" have the beach on my brain. I "MIGHT" be daydreaming of running away and escaping. I "MIGHT" just want to find an old blue chair like this and spend night after night cuddled up in it, watching the sun dip below the waves. I "MIGHT" have even created this in my bathing suit....LOL!!!

 I would LOVE to be here!!! The image in the "photo" is a freehand watercolor, using an Aquapainter and various Stampin' Up! inks. I wanted the sentiment to be special so I embossed it in Copper Embossing Powder and added just a touch of color to help it stand out. To give the chair a little extra, I cut it from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and sponged it with Dapper Denim ink. Can I just crawl into my picture?

Here is the list of supplies that I used. By clicking on the images below, you can the items directly to your cart so that you can create this card, and MANY other projects too!!! Please enter 2XUWASBT as your hostess code, and I will send you a special thank you gift! (U.S. only)

#TGIFC116 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Just Add Text

Ok, I admit it, I totally created this one at the last minute! This card sketch just happened to be perfect for some "bits and pieces" that were on my desk!

 It's been a fun, yet busy week. My husband received his 20 year pin at work yesterday, so I spent half the day with him for that. He retires in 2 weeks, so I am busy planning THAT... (by the way, if you have any tips for me in this new stage of life, I am TOTALLY open to hear them!) However, I really wanted to create for this week's #TGIFChallenge sketch, so I found a few minutes. I really mean a few. I seriously used some scraps and a left over sentiment from some cards I made a few weeks ago.

 I really don't even know what details I can give you on this! A few scraps, some amazing Copper Ribbon, and this card was done. Hopefully you will find this sketch east too and play along!

OSAT Blog Hop - Very Vintage - Stampin' Up! Country Livin'

 Hi!!! Welcome back. Today is our monthly One Stamp At A Time blog hop, and I am so happy that you are joining us! Our theme this months is Very Vintage, and although I love a vintage decorating style, it can often be a challenge for me to create in a vintage style. I knew if I was going to pull it off, I was going to need a new standby - Country Livin', and my trusty Wood Textures Designer Series Paper!

 I always try to coordinate my projects, like a gift and card to go to the same person, but this time one of the projects is for ME!!! LOL

 My new office/guest room is still pretty bare when it comes to decor. I have an idea for a beautiful gallery wall with quotes, pictures, and such. I want it to have a lot of personal meaning, so I thought it might be a nice idea if I created a few things for the wall myself. This is just a little 4" canvas. I LOVE them, I use them a lot. I actually stamped on to a piece of Watercolor and glued it to the block, then added some Wood Textures paper to the edges. It really does look like a wood block now!

 I LOVE how it turned out!!! I am going to be so happy when I can complete my wall!

 I did a card as well of course, but I won't be sending it to myself with the block :)LOL!!! I do love the card though. I think I even know who I would like to send it to.

 I added the sentiment from Sheltering Tree to the boots, as well as to the Pool Party background. Really, this card could be sent to almost anyone, for almost any reason. That's probably why it's one of my favorite sentiments.

 I received the sweetest comment, wanting to know a little bit more about how I watercolor, so here is a little more info if you want to know too! I swear by my Aqua Painter from SU. I used quite a few colors on this one! For the ground and grass - Crumb Cake, Old Olive, and Always Artichoke. For the sky, Soft Sky and Smoky Slate. For the truck, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso, and Cajun Craze. For the boots, I used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso. I also just use ink that I have smooshed into the lid of my ink pad.

 I am really excited to see what the rest of the team has created this month! Make sure you hop all the way around! Next up is Justin Kreiger!

PCC251 New to You! Stampin' Up! Country Livin' Rodeo Scrap Book Page

 Hello!!! Happy Wednesday! Welcome back. Today I am once again joining in with the Paper Craft Crew for our weekly challenge. This week's challenge was fun - use something I hadn't used yet. Well, this may be the first time, but it won't be the last time that I will be inking up Country Livin'

 I don't do it often, but I recently created a scrapbook page. Last December was the first time that we were able to take the boys to the National Finals Rodeo. Despite the fact that my oldest son had a major allergic reaction, we did have a fun night!

 

 Honestly, I don't create a lot of scrap book pages so it gives me a bit of anxiety, but I really like how I was able to incorporate so many of the memories on this page.

 

 I wanted to add some fun little touches to the page so I created the title in our Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to mimic the wood on the entrance sign in to the arena, I used some Linen Thread to create a rope, I watercolored the boots from Country Livin' and I also used another two new item to me - Copper Foil Paper and the new Metallic Sequins. I love how the copper adds just the right amount of glitz to this otherwise VERY masculine page.

 Here is the list of supplies that I used. By clicking on the images below, you can the items directly to your cart so that you can create this card, and MANY other projects too!!! Please enter 2XUWASBT as your hostess code, and I will send you a special thank you gift! (U.S. only)

#TGIFC115 Color Challenge!!! Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst

 Happy Friday! It's time for another color challenge at TGIF Challenges, and I think that this one is SUPER FUN!!! The other designers and I have come up with quite a few happy projects... you really should check them out and play along with us this week!

 My kids are still in school - we've been on a year round schedule, so I still wanted to make some end of the year teacher's gifts and I knew that this happy color combo would be a great starting point for that!

 I am SO happy with the way they turned out!

 I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit Dies to create a wide gift bag. I love that we have the Thick Whisper White cardstock now as that REALLY makes for a nicer bag. I added an extra cardstock panel that I embossed with the new Polka Dots Basics Embossing Folder. I carefully added my fun trio of colors to the raised dots with some ink from the pads and an Aqua Painter.

 I knew that I could not put just any old tissue paper in these cute bags, so I used the markers to draw a very freeform, whimsical stripe pattern. The strips are not perfect...it doesn't matter!!! it's FUN, like the polka-dots!

Now I just need to go shopping so that I can fill them with just the right gifts for each of the amazing women who have had the patience to deal with my boys this year!

WCBH July - Stampin' Up! Just Add Text - Step it up!

 

Welcome to this month's We Create Blog Hop - Step It Up! Every month we get together as a small group to share some fun ideas creating a "simple" project, and a "stepped-up" project. I love this theme and sharing with you every month.

  I've been a busy girl with house projects, but I am still finding time to stamp! I recently participated in a card swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, and it tends to be a really good quality, so I needed a "stepped-up" version.

 

The best place to start is with a simple design and layout, and then see where you can add to fancy it up a little...here is my simple one. It's a great card on it's own of course. Relatively quick, pretty simple and easy to make.

 So, I liked the overall look of the card, but knew I wanted to add more interest, and definitely some RIBBON! Here's how just a few small changes transformed this card.

 All I did was stamp the CRAZY-AWESOME, NEW, Tree Rings background stamp in Crumb Cake ink on the Crumb Cake Layer, darkened the centers of the flowers and add a small banner of the GORGEOUS Fresh-Fig Finely Woven Ribbon. What a difference!

 Here is the list of supplies that I used. By clicking on the images below, you can the items directly to your cart so that you can create this card, and MANY other projects too!!! Please enter 2XUWASBT as your hostess code, and I will send you a special thank you gift! (U.S. only)
