Stamp Time Somewhere

#tgifc227 Product Spotlight - Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek - Snowman Season

 Hi there!!! Holy smokes - it's been BUSY! If you follow me regularly, you know that I try to combine my last TGIF Challenge of the month with whatever our Fancy Friday Blog Hop Challenge is, but it just wasn't working for me this month, so I have TWO posts today!!! I mean, I COULD have - but I actually didn't - LOL This week at TGIF Challenges, we are featuring projects using Embossing Powder, which you could almost use on ANY project, so....

 I am so excited about the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog! In just a few days, you'll ALL be able to order from it!!! One of my favorite suites of products in the catalog is the Let it Snow Suite. It's SO FUN and FULL of great products, a stamp set bundle, Specialty Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folder, Ribbons, Embellishments, the WORKS!

 This little snowman kind of stole my heart, and I can't wait to try so many ideas with him, but for today's card I thought I would play with some Emboss resist and watercolor!

 It's an easy technique, just emboss your image, then swoosh some watercolor over it. The image will resist the ink and you'll be left with a beautiful look. Isn't that frame behind him just dreamy?!?! It's in the Feels Like Frost suite! This is definitely one you NEED to add to your craft supplies!!! I wanted to add a little bit of extra shine, so I mixed up some shimmer spray by adding the Frost Shimmer Paint to some rubbing alcohol in a spritzer! So fun and I think it add a nice little touch.

 Make sure that you swing by the TGIF Blog today to see what other great projects our designers have created for your inspiration!

Fancy Friday - For the Men - Stampin' Up! A Good Man

 August is almost over, and September is upon us - although you wouldn't know it here with our 109 degree days and excessive heat warnings. I'm ready for fall weather, it's my favorite. The end of August signals one of the busiest weeks in my entire year, and today's card marks one of those reasons, so I was VERY grateful to have this month's "For the Men" as our challenge theme....

 In my family, we have 6 birthdays in like a 5 day span this week! One is my Dad's, one is my kids, one is my niece....you get the idea. Sunday, I will share with you the cards I made for my niece and son, but today - this one is for my Dad!

 In going along with my IG/FB "Product of the Week" for this week, I chose to use the super versatile A Good Man stamp set. I love this set, because I enjoy coloring it so much, but there are a ton of techniques where you don't even really need to color it.

 I love the beauty and depth of our Pretty Peacock color, so it made a great base for this card. To create my own background, I just stamped the sentiment repeatedly in Pretty Peacock. After I colored in the image, I wanted some ribbon to coordinate, so I colored my White Flax Ribbon and Braided Linen Trim with my Blends!

 I often hear that masculine cards are challenging for a lot of people, so hopefully we will help you out with that today with tons of great inspiration. Up next on our hop is the super talented Charlet!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Gift of Fall

 Hello friends!!! It's no secret that I have fallen back in love with Paper Pumpkin. I've received every single one since the very beginning, but just recently I have felt a new excitement for these awesome little subscription boxes - and THIS ONE ?!?!?! HOLY GORGEOUSNESS!!!!

 It's been a busy week here, so while I have SO MANY ideas for this gorgeous kit, I had to keep it a little simple. I was so happy that in addition to the gorgeous gift bags in the kit, this month Stampin' Up! offered a great little add on kit. If you haven't ordered it yet, I'll add the info later....you HAVE to see this!!!

 Totally beautiful, right?!?! It comes with all of this - 

PLUS - the great add on!!!

 

 Ok, so - I LOVE fall - like LOVE LOVE - however, I went a totally different direction with this one!!! Even though there was SO much to create with, I wanted to make sure I had the time to really evaluate ALL of the embellishments and base pieces, so I instead focused on the stamp set itself.

 These berries look AMAZING in fall colors, but I thought that maybe they might evoke a very simple Christmas look as well.I quickly stamped the image in Memento Ink on some Crumb Cake cardstock, grabbed my Cherry Cobbler Blends and started coloring and shading. I also used my Light Crumb Cake Blend, and White Gel pen to add depth shading and highlights. 

 There are just so many options for creativity with the Paper Pumpkin kits and the great stamp sets!I am sure that you will see some amazing ideas in this month's hop. I can't wait to really get in to it and play even more!

 Enjoy everyone's ideas!!!

#tgifc225 Inspiration Challenge - All on Black - Stampin' Up! Bird Ballad

 Hi there! Happy TGIF.... on a Tuesday. Yeah, I know! I'm just a little late... BUT, better late than never? I hope. Honestly, I had a card read for Friday, and it's a gorgeous card. Why didn't I post it? Well, it photographed HORRIBLY - like AWFUL... so I didn't share it. Instead, I started over, and I am so grateful I did!

 

 My gorgeous, sweet, kind, caring, funny, amazing sister in law celebrated a milestone birthday this last weekend, so I wanted to create a really special card for her. The gift inside was from another of our great friends and myself. The 3 of us do a lot together, so when I saw these 3 little birds, I knew they'd be perfect.

 

 I absolutely love how it turned out. Granted, there was quite a bit of fussy cutting, but she's more than worth it!

 In addition to fussy cutting the image, I added some "bits" of embellishments. I thought that by having small pieces of the Scalloped Lace Trim, Silver Thread, scraps of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and the Iridescent Sequins it might kind of resemble a fun little bird's nest.

 To help make it even more special, I decorated the envelope flap with more of the Designer Paper, and I stamped a little on the inside!

 At first I had it all on regular Basic Black cardstock, but I wanted it a little fancier, so I created my own shimmer mist by adding Frost White Shimmer paint to some rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer.

#tgifc224 Sketch Challenge - Stampin' Up! Above the Clouds

 Hi there!!! Happy Friday! It's our last Friday before my boys go back to school... I think I'm ready - LOL! I really hope that I can sneak more creative time in... here's crossing fingers. I was able to get a few minutes to create a few things for back to school. It started with the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop theme the other day - End of Summer. I knew exactly what I needed to create!

 Every year I create signs for the boys to pose with on their first day of school - so it fit with the End of Summer theme. This year I also decided to make them some cards to go with them, and I figured I would use this week's awesome sketch challenge.

 

 I had the idea last year to use their school colors, so I chose to do that again this year. I'm kind of loving how it all turned out!

 Using the Stampin' Blends markers with these gives you so many possibilities! Problem is deciding just how to color them!Even though I don't usually add sparkle to the boys' projects, I thought they needed that little extra touch. I used some of the new Peacock Rhinestones and colored them with the Black Blends marker. Adding it to the Brick background hopefully added that little extra, masculine touch.

 Just for fun, these are the signs I created for them. I'm pretty excited about how they turned out. My plan is to some day get caught up (LOL) and use these kind of like divider pages in their scrapbooks.

OSAT Blog Hop - End of Summer - Stampin' Up! Above the Clouds

 Hi there! Welcome back! The summer days are dwindling, the start of school is upon us. It brings mixed emotions for me. I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say I was ready for the boys to be back in school. It was a busy summer, and three active boys make summer pretty messy and pretty loud, but I know that these summers are limited, and soon I will miss them... Being as this month's blog hop theme was End of Summer, I decided to work on a project that I do every year for my boys' first day of school, an unofficial end of summer to me....

 Come the first day of school, I'll make the boys pose with these, in front of the same cabinet as always... Last year I decided to make their signs in their school colors, so it's SUPER easy for me to slide them into their scrapbooks as a divider of sorts! Dual purpose! (They'll all pretty much look the same, just the different colors.)

 I thought that the Above the Clouds bundle would be perfect for this project. The balloons were a great way to showcase the school colors! I loved coming up with different ways to bring them to life with our Stampin' Blends. Not only did I try to make the balloons pop, but I had some fun with them for the letters of each of their grades! Creating ombre looks is so easy with their blending abilities!!!

 I thought that this year I could also create a card for each of them to give them on the first day of school!

 I kept with the same color scheme, but wanted to play with another balloon! I used the Night of Navy Blends along with the Seaside Spray Blends to create the same ombre look as the letters on the sign.

 You are going to LOVE this month's hop - there are so many great ideas! Make sure you check them all out!

Creation Station Stampers Gone Wild Blog Hop - Stampin' Up! Wildly Happy

 Hey, Hey!!! I hope that you are having a wonderful day today! It's crazy hot here (nothing new), and we are just about a week away from school starting back up. Trying to cram in some last minute Summer memories with the fam, and still take time to stamp. I have a sweet little card for y'all today for this month's Creation Station Blog Hop.

 Stamper's Gone Wild.... hmm.... This card isn't wild, but it has a "wild" animal on it. That counts, right?

 Ok, so I have had this stamp set since the new catalog came out and have been waiting for a good time to use it. It was an immediate "have to have" for me. You see, my youngest is my "baby panda". When I was pregnant with him, people would ask his older brother if he wanted a baby brother or baby sister. He would always reply with, "I want a baby panda". Well, my youngest was not only a baby panda for his first Halloween, he still to this day LOVES pandas, and probably has over a dozen stuffed animal pandas in his room that he always sleeps with.

 I used the No-Line watercolor technique to color the mama and her baby. I thought that the leaf image from the Painted Harvest set would make a good backdrop from them, so I stamped them in Pear Pizzazz on a piece of Whisper White that I had already stamped the Birch background stamp on. The card base is Pear Pizzazz as well. After repeatedly stamping the same leaf image, I embossed the layer using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

 Hi friends!!! Happy Friday! I'm back from vacation...that was a LONG 2 weeks, a lot of it in the car with 3 boys!!! We survived however, and managed to make some amazing memories along the way. Of course it felt great to get back home and in to my stamp room again! I was happy that a great TGIF Color Challenge was this week to inspire me!

 So, instead of doing the last 428 loads of laundry from said vacay, I sneaked into my room and tried to start playing - I mean, creating... let's say that might creativity might have been on vacay still. My guess is still at Pismo Beach. Can't say that I blame it! 

 So - this might be the 428th attempt at this card (maybe it's laundry karma???) While it might not be exactly what I had originally envisioned, I hope that it still is able to carry out it's initial mission - to make someone special smile. 

 I really like the images in the Varied Vases set, so I'm not really sure why I haven't used it much. Lately I have been trying to create a lot of cards with one set (mmmm.... daisies, anyone?) Maybe this one will be next?

I truly appreciate the opportunity to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. When you place your order this month, please use the hostess code TZW3SEBG for a special thank you treat from me!

I put together a shopping list of the items I used for these projects for you. All you have to do is click on the image and you'll be taken right to my online store!

We Create Brights Collection Blog Hop - Stampin' Up! Above the Clouds

 Happy August!!! Hope that the start of this month finds you doing well. We're just getting back from our fun family vacation, and trying to get back in to the swing of things a little bit before school starts for us. While I was on vacation, I took a tote of stamping supplies with me so I could stamp. It was so great, I had a wonderful view, and I wasn't distracted with all of my daily grind stuff... one of the projects I worked on was my card for this month's We Create Blog Hop, featuring Stampin' Up!'s BRIGHTS Collection!

 Ok, just like the last few posts, try to keep in mind that I was using limited supplies, k? Even more than I planned on this one, because I grabbed the wrong punch!!! This stamp set has a great coordinating punch - it makes a great bundle. Perfect for on the go crafting...however, you can still make a fun card without it....

 Yes, it's simple. It's so bright and cheery and colorful though!!! It was fun to create a card without a lot of bells and whistles. Just cardstock, ink, markers, Dimensionals and a few little Rhinestones!

 After stamping the 3 little balloon image multiple times, I started grabbing my Brights collection Stampin' Write Markers and had a little fun! I've never been to a balloon festival, but I would imagine it to look like this - lots of fun, bright colors everywhere!

 I can not wait to see what everyone else on the hop has created this month. I am sure that there are going to plenty of ideas that I am sure to be inspired by!!! Next up is my beautiful friend Kimberley!
