Stamp Time Somewhere

Creation Station Blog Hop - Time to Sale-A-Brate - Stampin' Up! Catching Butterflies

 Hi friend!!! Welcome back! I sure hope that you are doing well today. I'm excited to be hopping along with my friends at Creation Station for this month's blog hop featuring all the wonderful items from the current Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Brate catalog.

 There are some seriously awesome things to choose from. Do you know how to get yours? It's really easy, for every $50 purchase you can choose an item. There are a few higher valued items for if you purchase over $100. Let me know if you need help getting yours, I'm happy to help!

 Alright, on to today's card. Now, as much as I adore this little stamp set, there might be something about this card that I am even more excited about. Can you guess what it is? Hint - it's not the super adorable Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper that I love so much...

 If you've been around awhile you might have figured it out. It's our new Natural Tones Stampin' Blends Collection! We FINALLY have a skin tone solution!!! I have been waiting for this day forever. You COULD get two packs of skin tones, but I really suggest getting the set of 10. It's AMAZING.

 Wait - I am supposed to be sharing about Sale-A-Brate! (Well, if you get the set, you are super close to earning this sweet young lady for FREE or the Designer Series Paper) I made this card for a super sweet friend of our family's. I had fun trying to get the image to resemble her. I wanted it extra special, so instead of coloring the dress, I stamped it on the Designer Series Paper and carefully cut it out. I think it adds a nice touch. 

TIP - Use the mini black Stampin' Dimensionals under the sentiment!

You know you totally want to make one now, right?  Well, I want to make it easy for you, so I am putting together my shopping list for the products that you will need down below to recreate the card exactly. This month's Host Code is XWJ2DK9K and I would totally appreciate you using it today when you place your order :)

You will definitely want to check out the remainder of this blog hop though - it is absolutely unbelievable! Next up is Sara Levin (love her!) Hop all the way through until you get back to me!!!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Lovely Day

 Hello! I know I say it almost every month, but this month was an AMAZING Paper Pumpkin month! I sure hope that you got yours. Chances are if you're hopping with us today, you already subscribe to this amazing paper crafting box, but if not, I have info at the bottom of today's post to help you take advantage of this great product.

 One of the reasons why I LOVE this Lovely Day kit is that Stampin' Up! was super awesome and in their true nature of all things COORDINATION - there's amazing FREE Sale-A-Bration items to coordinate with it! More info on that later in the post too!

 

 

 Ok, so it's NO SECRET that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to color and use our amazing Stampin' Blends. The flower image in the included stamp set is PERFECT for coloring!!!

 I was completely inspired by the colors int he kit and used my Rococo Rose, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Blends. The card is accented with a sentiment from the included set stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink on a scrap from one of the included envelopes, and the adorable little included sequins.

   It's going to be hard to give this one away!!! Hopefully it brings as much joy to someone else, as it does to me!

   For another project using this month's kit. I decided to make something a little fun for my little guy who happens to be celebrating his birthday in just a few days!

 I used the center die cut from one of the cards, which was meant to be a scrap - or TRASH to create this little button. I used all three and glued them together so that it was a little more sturdy. I then stamped the cake image on Thick Whisper White cardstock, colored it in with Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock Blends, then punched it out with the 2 1/4" circle punch. The strips for the "ribbon" are actually the inside of one of the envelopes!!! They are cut to a 1" strip, and punched with the Banner Triple Punch. I just hot glued a little pin back to the back.

 Hopefully you find a ton of inspiration in this month's hop. If you are looking for more info on getting your own Paper Pumpkin, or for a complete list of my supplies, I've included below the list of the other fabulous designers that have created to inspire you today.

 I love having the opportunity to share with you. If you would like to order the supplies necessary to create these projects, I have provided a list of products needed below. By clicking on them, you'll be able to order them from my site. Remember that Sale-A-Bration is in full swing, and with every $50 in product ordered, you can choose a free item from our Sale-A-Bration offering!

#tgifc252 This or That - Choose Your Fave SAB Designer Series Paper

 Hi there and happy Friday! Back with you for another great week of TGIF Inspiration! This week was a fun Stampin' Up! product challenge! Instead of one particular product, we were challenged to choose between two!

 So we are highlighting the Designer Series Papers that you can earn for free with you qualifying Stampin' Up! purchases right now during Sale-A_Bration! Which one would YOU choose?

 I needed a wedding card, so I decided to pair the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Happy Birthday to You Stamp Set (both FREE items) and add the perfect sentiment from So Sentimental. Now, if you've been here before, you've probably seen a card or two where I featured the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly Dies, but this time I just used the sentiment.

 I wanted a very delicate, kind of tone-on-tone look with this card, so I chose to highlight the gold foil in the Designer Paper with Petal Pink and Crumb Cake, with additional accents of Soft Suede. I LOVED coloring this image with my Stampin' Blends! I also used my blends to create the Petal Pink ombre Heart Doily. All I did was color on the back of one of the Flirty Flamingo ones!

Creation Station Blog Hop - Resolution Solution

 Hi Stamp Time Somewhere friends!!!! Hope you're having a wonderful day! Welcome to this month's Creation Station Blog Hop! Soooo....New Year's Resolutions tend to get a bad rap. Personally, I love them. Do I always stick to them? Not always like I want, but I try and what's the harm in trying...trying is better than not! Well, hopefully this month's hop will help all of us as we bring ideas meant to help us keep our resolutions!

 This year we decided to do our resolutions on a family level, and let me tell you, once we got to brainstorming, we had a TON of ideas. What better way to keep track of all these ideas than a family notebook?

 Ok, so one thing that I LOVE about this image from the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set "The Gang's All Meer" is the fact that there's FIVE of them!!! That means it's perfect for our family with 3 boys :) I even added some blush and eyelashes to the mama meer!

 I was so excited to play with the awesome new, masculine and sporty Country Club Designer Series Paper. With a mix of golf themed images on one side, and perfect plaids and argyles on the other, it's actually super versatile! It's part of the Country Club Suite which has some great products even for non-golfers. I used the Garden Green and Night of Navy Twine from the Combo pack to serve as a fun little embellishment that doubles as bookmarks.

 Some of the things that are already listed in our book:

• Have a family slumber party
• Go to the Grand Canyon and at least 2 more National Parks
• Ice Cream for Dinner
• Pay off debts
• Go to the Water Park
• Finish landscaping the back yard
• Learn new skills (cooking, crochet, etc...)
• More family game nights

 I hope you find lots of inspiration on today's hop. Next up is Kathy Kartak! Can't wait to see what resolution she's tackling.

#tgifc245 Color Challenge

 Hi!!! I have been a BUSY girl this week! Did you check out the We Create and A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hops??? I'll even be back on Sunday with the Creation Station Blog Hop! I am LOVING all this stamping time. For today though, it's all about TGIF Challenges.

 (don't forget to check out the rest of the TGIF team's inspiration! Click on the Challenge graphic above!)

 At first I was a little worried about this color challenge, I wanted to make sure I was able to use these rich colors, but I was in a mood to create something light. I love what finally came together!

 The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss, with layers of Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla (almost sounds like a dessert - lol!), with a final layer of Watercolor paper that was embossed with the gorgeous new background stamp - Breathtaking Bouquet (I have so many ideas with this one!) I added a wash of Rich Razzleberry watercolor over the embossing to bring out the lovely design. The cute little boots and flowers are from the Under my Umbrella stamp set. Told ya that I am LOVING this bundle (can't wait to share the Class to Go with you!) I did fussy cut the boots and flowers, but it wasn't that bad :)
