Stamp Time Somewhere

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!

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!

OSAT Blog Hop - Something Old - Something New - Stampin' Up! Geared Up Garage and last minute Father's Day Idea!

 Hello! I am so excited about this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop!!! Why? Well, it's letting me play with stuff I got to keep from the last catalog and stuff from the BRAND NEW ONE!!!

I had to really think outside of the box on this one though. You see, I don't have a TON of new stuff to play with yet. I also tried to use what I DID get for an occasion I knew was coming up. Well, what better reason than to make another Father's Day card?

 What's new and what's carried over you might ask? Well, I used the new 2019-2021 In Color Designer Papers in the AMAZING new color Pretty Peacock, and a new twine. For the "old" I used the Geared Up Garage stamp set that carried over from the Occasions catalog into the new big catalog.

 I thought I would add in a quick little gift idea for anyone that might have put off shopping or maybe just needing something super budget-friendly!

 I thought that it would be great way to give Dad a special "coupon"

 Add a little extra on the inside - remember, we want to make it special!

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

Have you seen the new catalog? It's awesome!!! Let me know if you would like me to send one to you. It's full of great new stamp sets, new accessories, and of course, the new In-Colors!!!

I truly appreciate the opportunity to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. When you place your order this month, please use the hostess code N9PNMGW6 for a special thank you treat from me!

OSAT Blog Hop - Simple Stamping with Stampin' Up! Humming Along

 Happy Valentine's Day! I LOVE today - I love it for so many reasons, but the main one is that it's my son't birthday!!! Today he turns 13!!! So hard to believe! I have been one busy Mama. SO glad I was able to get in some stamping time this week, I NEEDED it - OSAT and simple stamping to the rescue! I created this set of Thank You cards for my youngest son's GATE teacher to send to a few organizations that helped pull together their recent field trip to the local bird sanctuary. Humming along seemed like a natural choice.

 I found a picture of one of the hummingbirds that are in our area, and fell in love with the colors of this one, and knew that it would make for a stunning card!

  The watercolor pencils are perfect for getting great blending on this bird. Keeping it simple, I didn't use any punches or any Big Shot items, so I needed to find ways to add visual interest. Adding the large tone-on-tone stamped image on the card base, and matting the sentiment strip with Silver Glimmer paper were two easy ways to do this.

 I did use 2 circle punches on the jar though, but I figured it would make a super cute little gift for his hard working teacher. I found these great little plastic jars at the Dollar Tree in the Valentine section. I think I need to see if they have any more....

I can not wait to see what everyone else on the hop has created - make sure that you check them all out - there's bound to be some amazing ideas!

 

As always, I want to remind you how much I truly appreciate the opportunity to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. When you place your order this month, please use the hostess code K9K9X7QJ for a special thank you treat from me!

 Don't forget about Sale-A-Bration extravaganza!!!! I love this time of year, because it means free gifts for EVERYONE!!! With every $50 you order, you can choose a free gift. There's also a few extra special choices for $100 orders - AND if you hostess or join my team, there's EVEN MORE!!!

One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - Sale-A-Brate Every Occasion - Stampin' Up! So Hoppy Together

 Hi there! Hope you are doing well. I am fighting a stupid cold...ugh. Good thing is, I've been able to stay inside and get a little stamping done. Perfect time to work on this month's One Stamp At A Time projects, featuring our favorite Sale-A-Bration and Occasions products! That's a HARD choice - the catalogs are amazing.

 I needed to create something bright and cheery (for me) and something cute and simple for an upcoming class...so I pulled out our great new Gingham Designer Series Paper and this adorable frog stamp set!!!

 First off is a simple, but cute card that makes this new Gingham Gala shine, and This happy little froggy the star! The strips of Paper (Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, and Highland Heather) are cut to 3/4"x4" and spaced 1/4" apart. You can use our Grid Paper to make lining this on up super easy! Being as there aren't any embellishments on this card (GASP!!!) I elevated the main image on Stampin' Dimensionals to add a little interest.

   Being as I am still not feeling well, I am trying to keep it pretty simple in my stamp room. Thank goodness Stampin' Up! makes it easy with things like our little Acetate Boxes. I simply slipped in some 1"x 2" scraps on the inside, to the front one I added the little froggy and a hand cut word-bubble. A quick tie with the coordinating FREE ribbon and DONE! I think this should be a prize at the stamp class, what do you think?

 Can't wait for you to check out what everyone else created today!!!! Make sure you visit everyone and we love when you let us know that you like what we've made!!! Have a great day! (Oh, you can check out today's shopping list and extras below the link list!!!)

OSAT Blog Hop - Creature Comforts

   Hi Stampin' friends!!!! Believe it or not, it's time again for the One Stamp At A Time monthly blog hop! I know that I have been MIA for a few months from this hop due to a string of issues, but hopefully I won't miss any in the future.

  The theme for the month is "Creature Comforts" - inspired by animals. I am going to guess that a lot of people have pets they will be inspired by - not here...danged allergies! I actually decided to use this theme for a BABY!!!

   Honestly, because of not having animals of my own, I almost skipped out on this  month's hop. I am so glad I didn't, I LOVE my projects. My Sister-in-law's little sister (who I count as a niece) is due with her first baby at the end of August, and she is an animal lover, so....well, hopefully she appreciates this.

 

 I REALLY hope she loves it, because I know I DO!!! This was a true labor of love. I thought it would be fun to step up a stamp set that's been in the catalog for a few years, and bring a nice touch of sophistication to it.

 Sorry about the slight shadow, this silly card did not want to stay flat! Here is a close up so you can see some of the detail...

 I stamped the little fox in Smoky Slate on Shimmery white paper after stamping off once. Then, using Smoky Slate and Gray Granite ink that I picked up with my aquapainter from squishing some into the lid of my ink pad, I started adding the details and shading. I used the same technique on the sweet little branches. Then I lovingly, and painstakingly started fussy cutting, but I think the end result was worth it!

 I figured I would want a cute little gift holder to go with the card, so I used the new Lustrous White Gable Boxes for a way to hold a little something for baby.

 I followed the same steps for the details on this box as I did for the card above. On both the box and card, This sweet little fox is surrounded by a wash of Petal Pink.

 I hope that you enjoyed my projects today, and maybe I even inspired you to pull out some of your "older" sets to see what you can do to make them fun and new again! I've included a full list of supplies at the end of this post to make things a little easier for you if you'd like to order any of the items that I used.

 Enjoy the rest of this month's Blog Hop, I am sure that you'll find tons of great ideas!!!

One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

 Hello, it's time again for the One Stamp At A Time monthly blog hop! I was so sad to miss last month's due to internet issues, so hopefully I've made up for it with this month's!!!

 This month's theme is "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" - kind of centered around Valentine's Day, but I suppose it doesn't have to. Being as I am a mom to a Valentine boy, and I have the most handsome Valentine in the world, I kind of LOVE this holiday!

 Honestly, I had a BLAST creating these!!!

 They're so SPARKLY!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!

 I came up with the card idea first. I cut a heart out of Whisper White cardstock with the Sweet and Sassy thinlits, then outlined it with the Fine Tip glue pen to attach the GORGEOUS Iridescent Sequins.

 

  I knew I wanted a coordinating gift, and I really tossed around a few ideas before I settled on this Popcorn Box. I thought it would be cute to add the window! To do that, I just cut out the popcorn box first, then used the Sweet and Sassy thinlits again, and backed it with a window sheet.

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 DQJDZBVF as your hostess code, and I will send you a special thank you gift with any purchase of $35 or more!

OSAT Blog Hop - Throwback Thursday

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 Throwback Thursday. We are each taking some of our older projects, ones that might have used products that aren't currently available, and giving them a fresh update with products that ARE!

 I actually found 2 projects that were not created to go together that actually did, and that made it a little easier for me! I LOVED both of these projects when I created them, so I really didn't mind giving them a redo!

 

 

 Well, this sweet little lamb isn't available anymore, and he was SO CUTE. I do however have another cute animal on my shelves... my THIS LITTLE PIGGY!!!!

 I really tried to recreate the original projects as best as I could, think I did pretty well!!!

 I love these little 4" canvases, they make great little gifts. I think this would be great for maybe a new student that just started her first year in college, or maybe a friend that worked for a promotion...or maybe just a JUST BECAUSE you're gettin' through the days kind of gift!

 I sponged a little Bermuda Bay on the canvas and let it dry. The image is just colored in with Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils, and just softened with a Blender Pen.

 

 I kept the layout the same, changed up the colors a bit and switched out accessories on this one. I love how cute, quick and simple this was.

 I want to encourage you to maybe take a moment and revisit an older project that you created. See how you can re-imagine it. It's especially helpful when you are dealing with a creative block!

 

 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 my wonderfully talented friend, Marisa Gunn!

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!

OSAT Blog Hop - All About Men

 It's June and time to think about the guys in our lives! I love creating for guys, so this was a pretty easy one for me! Thanks to a good, old Stampin' Up! standby - Lovely As A Tree.

One reason that I love creating "guy" projects, is that you don't have to get too fancy!!!

 I combined Lovely As A Tree with Happy Celebrations to mix things up a little bit. 

 The tree is stamped in Early Espresso, and I used our fabulous (MUST HAVE) Watercolor Pencils to color it in.

 To make the "celebrate" really look a little more like it was hand written, I went over it a little with the Tranquil Tide marker, and then with an Aqua Painter. Added just the right touch! Oh, and yes, I cut that out by hand...

 Thank goodness for the Gift Bag Punch Board! Gift Bags for ANY occasion! This time I did NOT cut out the "celebrate" LOL!!! I ran the little Old Olive banner through the Big Shot with the same Sparkle Embossing Folder to tie them together. I LOVE the tassel! It's a stretch for a guy project, but I think I can get away with it.

 Enjoy the rest of the hop and all of the great "manly" inspiration. Next up is Rick - let's see what he came up with it!

OSAT Blog Hop - Clean and Simple!

 OMG! Can you believe it?!?!? I'm actually posting again!!! I know, it's been a LONG time (like a WHOLE MONTH!!!), but well... we just moved! A new and bigger home - and while that part is great, I had two boys on track break from school and it's baseball and band festival season. This move was CRAZY, but I FINALLY have enough of an area set aside that I can STAMP AGAIN!!! WOOT WOOT!!! My supplies are CRAZY limited, so it kind of worked for this month's Clean and Simple theme!

 I had actually been able to order these products a month ago, but because of the move, I haven't had any time, nor space to create, so they just sat...kind of sad and all alone. Not anymore though!!!

I must say, I fell in love with this year's In Colors IMMEDIATELY!!!I also fell in love with this ADORABLE stamp set and SUPER versatile die set!!! Be prepared to see LOTS of this stuff!

  I decided to go with a fairly simple card... I embossed the image in White Embossing Powder then did some simple watercolor around it as a resist technique. It really isn't too hard and is always a wow!

 Then I thought it would be fun to use the SUPER CUTE little crate. I stamped the same image on the front to tie it all in, then again on the chocolates, just for giggles.

 I LOVE these colors together - so bright and fun. They are all going to be a MUST HAVE (you can order them starting June 2nd!!!!)

 

 Make sure to check out the whole hop - there are some GREAT Clean and Simple ideas!!! Next up is Lori
