Stamp Time Somewhere

#TGIFC234 Halloween Inspiration - Stampin' Up! Hoot Hoot Hooray!

 Hi friends! Happy Friday!!! You know what that means.... it's time for some #TGIF Challenges Inspiration!

 I usually keep my Halloween crafting to decor and treats (check out these fun treat boxes), but this year I've been inspired to create a few simple cards. Being as I don't have a lot of Halloween supplies, I decided to think outside of the box a little so to speak.

 That sweet little owl is featured in a set called Hoot Hoot Hooray, and is found in our beginning stamping brochure! I LOVE the set! With just a little masking, I was able to stamp the owl and the stars without their sentiments, then color in the rest with my Stampin' Blends. A little flourish behind him was created with the Stitched Stars dies. To make them stand out, I added a touch of Wink of Stella.

I truly appreciate the opportunity to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. When you place your order this month, please use the hostess code  PVZVPWQM 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!

OSAT Blog Hop - It's Spooktacular!

 Hi there! Welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - our theme this month is a stamping Spooktacular. The projects today should bring you lots of fun, Halloween inspiration!

 

Before I show you my projects, I figured I might share my inspiration with you! I saw the CUTEST Halloween line of products at my grocery store this year, and I LOVED the soft color combo. While it might not be very traditional for Halloween, it sure is sweet!

First up is a simple little card - 

 I cut the main image rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies and stamped the cute little bats from To Every Season in Memento Ink before coloring the background with my Highland Heather Blend. I also created my own Soft Seafoam ribbon by coloring the Silver Edge Metallic Ribbon with my Soft Seafoam Blend! 

 My favorite part of this project by far is the little treat boxes I came up with!!! I seriously love them and want to keep creating more and more ideas with this Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Die!!! I did forgo adding the cute little faces so that they were a little more versatile in who the recipient might be.

EEEEP! SO STINKIN' CUTE!!! Allow me to introduce you to:

Halloween Kitty

Not quite a "black cat", more like a sweet little gray kitten - there had to be one in the mix. Her ears and nose are made from the star tag die in the Mini Curvy Keepsake Dies.

Halloween Vampire Bat

Not sure a Highland Heather mini Bat is very scary, but check out those fangs and wings! The fangs were cut from the edges of the bat punch in the punch pack, and the wings were 1" circle punches with snipets taken out by the 3/4" punch and the top of the heart punch from the punch pack as well!

Halloween Spooky Spider

 Also a little gray spider, his legs were cut from the corners of the square tag from the die set.

Halloween Frankie

 I think he is SO CUTE! I cut just the top of the curvy die from Basic Gray, so I knew I would have the right shape, then just gave it a little haircut! See his little bolts? Bat punch from the punch pack again!!! 

Halloween Punkin'

 I might need a whole patch of these little sweeties! I used my Petal Pink Blends to create the lines on the pumpkin, and the Soft Sea Foam Blend again on the ribbon "leaves"

 I hope that I have inspired you to play a little today and create. Make sure you check out the whole hop for even more inspiration.

We Create Blog Hop - Orange You Spooky - Stampin' Up! Hoot Hoot Hooray

  Hi,and Happy October! The first of the month means that it's time for the We Create Blog Hop! Our theme this month is perfect for October - ORANGE You Spooky!!!

 

 I recently went down to California to spend a few days with my mom and grabbed a few basic supplies to create with while I was down there. That's always a little scary for me, because I am so used to having a lot of tools at hand, but I love how some times it really gets me back to some basics.

 There was more than one time while making this card that I wished I had brought more supplies, but it still turned out pretty cute!

 This stamp set, Hoot Hoot Hooray is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. If it doesn't look very familiar, it's featured in our Experience Creativity catalog that is full of great mini suites pulled together specifically for those that might be fairly new to stamping. I stamped the little owl in Memento Ink on Thick Whisper White card stock, then colored him in with Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze Blends markers.He's cut out and added to a piece of Crumb Cake, then Early Espresso gingham Designer Series Papers from the Neutrals Pack.

 To add that little something extra, I colored some Rhinestones with the Dark Pumpkin Pie Blend - it's a great, easy technique.

 Next up is my beautiful friend Kimberley, I bet she has something perfect for us!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Bone Appetit

Hi there!!! Welcome back and welcome to this month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This month's kit was seriously so fun to work with. I love how Stampin' Up! tries so hard to cover lots of bases, by providing a variety of different project ideas, types and styles. I love that they give us sneak peeks, so that we can have and idea of what's coming up next. This month had me so excited!

 In case you haven't seen all the wonderful-ness included in this kit - here is a great video from Stampin' Up!

 

 I can't believe I only have one kiddo that still wants treats for his classroom. I am thrilled that Stampin' Up! gives us the opportunity to order refill kits most months, but just in case they weren't going to be available, I knew I wanted to come up with my own alternative! The kit comes with 20 boxes, but there's 27 in my son's class!!!

 Ok, I might be biased, but I think they turned out ADORABLE!!! Not sure that's a good thing for Halloween, but hey.... They were pretty simple. I stamped the images on to a Mini Curvy Keepsake box in Versamark Ink, and embossed them with White Embossing Powder, added a quick little bow and tag (I added these with glue dots, not tied around the box handle, so that they would be easier for the kids to open.)

 I don't typically send out a "Happy Halloween" card to anyone, but I thought it would be cute to send out a Halloween THEMED card to someone, just to say "hey"...

 EEEP!!! So cute, right? Pretty quick too. The only thing stamped on this one is the little skulls in the background. The little skeletons are one of the pre-printed embellishments included in the kits! Check out that gorgeous bone-spider web die cut!!! WOW!!!

 I hope that you enjoyed my take on this month's kit. I hope you enjoy your trip around the hop today, and find yourself filled with lots of great inspiration!

 

 Here is a quick and easy shopping list for you of the products I used on today's projects. Clicking on each one will take you to my online store. If you are in the U.S. and aren't currently working with a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would love to have the opportunity to serve you!

 GREAT NEWS!!! AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE STILL FULL KITS AND REFILLS AVAILABLE!!! YOU MUST BE A PAPER PUMPKIN SUBSCRIBER TO ORDER THEM, BUT IF YOU AREN'T - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

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.

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.

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!

Fancy Friday!!! Treats not Tricks!!!

 Welcome back to Fancy Friday! We thought this month we could share some QUICK Halloween treats, being as it's tomorrow and all!!! I decided to make a quick box using the Gift Bag Punch Board and some Oval Framelits.

 I added a little sponging around the ovals to add some depth to the pumpkin, but if you were really in a hurry you could totally leave it off. Fill this thing up with chocolate and you are good to go!

 

Head on over to my Fancy girl friend the fabulous Mrs. Jennifer Timko and check our her fancy take on this month's challenge!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Before you go, if you have a moment, please check out a fundraiser I am holding for a friend of mine battling breast cancer - HERE (will open in a separate window so you can easily continue the hop)

Thanks so much for stopping by...

One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - Halloween and Fall

 

  

Hi there! 

I'm back with another One Stamp At A Time - stamp along challenge for this month's blog hop! Let's see some Halloween and Fall!

I've really been having a lot of fun creating Fall and Halloween projects this year. I think Stampin' Up! brought us some great products! This has a very "Fall" feel for Halloween. I love the mix of the texture and vintage feel combined with the shimmer and glimmer! TIP: Create the most awesome Spider Web Doily ever by covering it in Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder - it's GORGEOUS!

 

It was so much fun putting all the little details in this!

 

Can you believe that I thought I wasn't going to need the Square Pillow Box die?!?! This thing is FABULOUS. TIP: To create the longer box, cut 4 of the dies. You'll then want to cut 1" off of each one at the end. They're joined with the "belly band". If you need any of the items I used in this project, you can always get them HERE

Please make sure to visit everyone in the hop - you will see so many creative ideas. Make sure to give some comment love...

Your next stop is my sweet, funny, baseball loving, talented friend Marisa Gunn!

We Create Blog Hop - Step It Up! with new Stampin' Up! Halloween!

 Is it fall yet?!?!

 Honestly, it was 103 here yesterday. I am so ready for some cooler temps!

 So, today is not only a new blog hop, but it's "HAPPY NEW HOLIDAY CATALOG DAY" !!! To kick it off, I decided to make my "Step It Up!" project today with a fun Halloween project. First up is a nice, quick and easy version:

It's cute and all, but what if you want to do something SUPER SPECIAL???? Well, maybe this...

You go a little over the top with faux-embossing, glimmer paper, heat embossing, Designer Series Paper, and fun little bows!

 
 I have a feeling I am going to be using this cute set a LOT!!!
