Farmhouse Merry Christmas November Tutorial Design Team Blog Hop

Hello stampers and crafters!!  Welcome to the All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop for September! You are joining during the round of tutorials (August–January). This team brings to you a "super bundle" of 12 tutorials using only Stampin' Up! products.  There are amazing projects in this bundle that range from traditional-style cards, fancy fold, 3D giftables and various techniques!  We each offer this in our own business for free with a minimum order, as well as, a stand alone PDF purchase.

Here are the sneak peeks...it's loaded with fun and excitement and something you don't want to miss out on. 

Each month's tutorial bundle is based on currently available supplies from Stampin’ Up! and lists both metric and imperial measurements. So whether you are a cms or inches person, we’ve got you covered!  Make sure to look for the full details at the bottom of this post.

I'm super excited about my extra project this month because it is showcasing the Festive Farmhouse Suite of products — the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set and coordinating Farmhouse Framelits Dies.  All wrapped around a wooden crate die cut from the Wood Crate Framelits.  Since I can only show you a sneak peek of the project I created in the actual November Tutorial Bundle PDF, I'm sharing a 2nd project I made especially for this blog hop using most of the same products. It’s different from the project in the Tutorial Bundle as they are exclusive and you won’t see them anywhere else!

My quest to get lots of handmade goodies made for the various Fall and Christmas craft and vendor fairs...treat boxes and packages are always a big hit...especially, when I fill them with chocolate!   I'm in LOVE with each pattern found in the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper pack...the various plaid patterns are spot on gorgeous!

The crate measures 3-1/4" wide, 1-3/4" tall, and 1-1/2" deep...just large enough to hold a 2-pack of Oreo cookies.  YUM!!  It would be perfect to hold other candies, a piece of jewelry, or the teenagers most beloved 'cold hard cash'.  LOL!

I'm into vintage and antiques and the Galvanized Buttons are super cute!!  Thread some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, tie in a bow, and set into place using glue dots.  This button works perfectly to hold the box lid closed.  Look at those CUTE little bows!!  Die cut from Galvanized Metallic paper to coordinate with the button.  I would venture to say this little box will be a keeper once the cookies or candy has been devoured.  haha!

OSAT Blog Hop — I Need to Thank a Hero

 

Hello-Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog and the September One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

This month's theme is "I Need a Hero".  Now this could be a teacher, nurse, doctor, military, police, etc.  My family has members in the military, medical field, and on the police force.  Since the anniversary of the devastating 9-11 tragedy, I decided to focus my card towards the American Flag — the good Red, White and Blue.  Soooo many heros pulled together and pooled their skills and undivided attention to help with the situation handed to them. 

 

I found this image of the American flag as my creative inspiration.  There was something about the background that really stood out for me.

 

To mimic the background, I thought Gray Granite cardstock was a nice hued neutral...not too light and not too dark. 

 

It has been a while since I've played with the various Embossing Pastes and Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  To emulate the flag, I washed some Night of Navy ink using the Aqua Painter...let it dry, then created 'stars' smearing some of the Shimmery White Embossing Paste over one of the Decorative Masks.  The stripes were made using the regular Embossing Paste, which is white to start with.  Simply mix in Real Red Reinker to a small scoop of paste and you have red stripes!

Silver and Whisper White Baker's Twine compliments the sparkle from the Shimmery White stars.  The sentiment comes from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set...perfect for all Hero's...they truly GIVE of themselves to help, care and save others!  I hope you enjoyed my tribute card to all of the Hero's near and far.

Thank our Hero's Candy Sleeve

It only seemed fitting that I fill a 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag with Red, White & Blue M&M's and add a tag to compliment the Thank You card I shared above.  The Stitched Oval Framelit was die cut from Gray Granite and matted with a Night of Navy Layering Scalloped Oval.

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next OSAT designers blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know they will have something fun and exciting to share with you.  If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can click your way through the blog list found below.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

Blog Hop Participants

I'm so very grateful; and I'm not sure I can say thank you enough to everyone that stops to visit me.  I love the visits and wonderful thoughts you share with your comments.  If you've ever purchased a stamp set, dies, paper, ink, embellishments, etc. from m online shop, I literally did a little happy dance with your order came in.  And, if you've ever shared a card or other bit of handmade kindness using Stampin' Up! products, my heart leaps for joy.  I appreciate you and all of your wonderful support of my favorite stamping business.  If you haven't already, please share and invite your friends to stop by, too.  Oh, and subscribe to my blog so that you don't miss a single post.  I can't express how very passionate I am to share my love for papercrafting with you. If you are a new visiting crafter looking for a demonstrator to shop with, I would be ecstatic and honored to be your creative coach.

What supplies do you need to create these projects? All the items used are from Stampin’ Up! and can be bought through my online store HERE or click on the items below. A printable supply list is available as well!

To mimic the background, I thought Gray Granite cardstock was a nice hued neutral...not too light and not too dark. 

 

It has been a while since I've played with the various Embossing Pastes and Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  To emulate the flag, I washed some Night of Navy ink using the Aqua Painter...let it dry, then created 'stars' smearing some of the Shimmery White Embossing Paste over one of the Decorative Masks.  The stripes were made using the regular Embossing Paste, which is white to start with.  Simply mix in Real Red Reinker to a small scoop of paste and you have red stripes!

Silver and Whisper White Baker's Twine compliments the sparkle from the Shimmery White stars.  The sentiment comes from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set...perfect for all Hero's...they truly GIVE of themselves to help, care and save others!  I hope you enjoyed my tribute card to all of the Hero's near and far.

OSAT Blog Hop — Creature Comforts with an Animal Outing Expedition

 

Hello-Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog!  I'm so excited for you to hop along the July One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This month's theme is "Creature Comforts".  Hmmm...so, what does that mean?  Well, I took it for the word "creature" and pulled out my Animal Outing stamp set and coordinating Animal Friends Thinlits dies.  That works, right?!!  Well, let's check it out.

This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

I've been seeing this layout and technique a lot throughout the internet world, but I've only seen it with two raised panels, not three!!  Of course, I had to do something different and outside the box.  I took one look at those gators giving each other the googlie eyes that I couldn't help but pair them up with the "wild about you" sentiment!

These adorable gators come from the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.  And, if you haven't heard, there is an awesome sale going on right now...Buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper, Get 1 FREE!!  Guess what?!!  Animal Expedition Designer Series paper is part of this promotion!  YAY!

Two of the colors of cardstock that coordinate with the Animal Expedition paper pack are Call Me Clover and Poppy Parade, which have been embossed with two different embossing folders...Petal Burst and Layered Leaves Dynamic Texture Impressions folder.  They were lined with the new Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon to add a little fun compliment.  Add Stampin' Dimensionals to these layers and set into place leaving space for the fun patterns of designer series paper.  CUTE!!

Animal Outing Pencil Sleeve

I found some pencils at the Dollar Tree that, in my opinion, really matched up well with our Lemon Lime Twist...so, I bought them!  Haha!!  I thought it would be kind of fun to create a little sleeve holder made from one of the patterned sheets of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper to hold them. 

With school starting back up in our area in about 4-5 weeks, I think these would be wonderful meet-n-greet teacher gifts.  Who can resist that cute little gator and bird?  Too cute!

DO YOU CRUISE PINTEREST?  If you enjoy Pinterest, you can find my creations on Pinterest, too.

What supplies do you need to create this project? All the items used are from Stampin’ Up! and can be bought through my online store HERE or click on the items below. A printable supply list is available as well!

I've been seeing this layout and technique a lot throughout the internet world, but I've only seen it with two raised panels, not three!!  Of course, I had to do something different and outside the box.  I took one look at those gators giving each other the googlie eyes that I couldn't help but pair them up with the "wild about you" sentiment!

These adorable gators come from the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.  And, if you haven't heard, there is an awesome sale going on right now...Buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper, Get 1 FREE!!  Guess what?!!  Animal Expedition Designer Series paper is part of this promotion!  YAY!

Two of the colors of cardstock that coordinate with the Animal Expedition paper pack are Call Me Clover and Poppy Parade, which have been embossed with two different embossing folders...Petal Burst and Layered Leaves Dynamic Texture Impressions folder.  They were lined with the new Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon to add a little fun compliment.  Add Stampin' Dimensionals to these layers and set into place leaving space for the fun patterns of designer series paper.  CUTE!!

Animal Outing Pencil Sleeve

I found some pencils at the Dollar Tree that, in my opinion, really matched up well with our Lemon Lime Twist...so, I bought them!  Haha!!  I thought it would be kind of fun to create a little sleeve holder made from one of the patterned sheets of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper to hold them. 

With school starting back up in our area in about 4-5 weeks, I think these would be wonderful meet-n-greet teacher gifts.  Who can resist that cute little gator and bird?  Too cute!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop -- Manly Moments

Hello and welcome Stampers and Papercrafters!  It is the last day in May...yikes! but we have a really fun A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop to share with you!!  YAY! A number of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world have joined together to share alternative projects using supplies from the May monthly kit named "Manly Moments".  I'm super excited to share the projects I created for you....let's get to it, shall we!

Do you struggle creating "Manly" cards?  Yep, I do, too!  Buuut, I'm so excited to see my Paper Pumpkin kit arrive filled with the supplies to create 10 masculine cards ranging from birthday to thank you...and, including nephews and brothers.

 

Another thing I struggle with is creating clean and simple cards...this entire kit is just that.  But, of course, when I create to showcase an alternative card, I have to kick it up a notch...or two.  :)  I started with a traditional cardstock base of 4-1/4" x 11', but scoring it at 4-1/4" and 8-1/2" is not our typical card style.

I took one of the cardbases from the kit and cut the wood grain and plaid sections off of the card base so that I could use the pieces to decorate and create a really fun pocket card.

 

The front pocket can house the woodgrain notecard, but there are so many different items you can tuck into pocket cards:  bookmarks, magnets, tags, gift cards, and personalized notes.

 

Cute Thank You Tag

You are not probably going to believe this, but this little tag is made up of scraps that were laying around my craft counter.  **squeal**  I inked the "thank you" image in Mossy Meadow and stamped first and 2nd renditions onto the scrap stitched shape circle.  The woodgrain strip is from the pocket notecard that I trimmed down.  Super cute, right?!!

 

 

I'm really pleased with how these projects came together...clean and simple!  The pocket card can be for any occasion, too...birthday, anniversary, etc.  Gotta love the creations that are designed to accommodate more than one occasion.  :)

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Country Livin' Father's Day

Hello and welcome stampers and paper crafters!  I'm so happy that you have stopped by and have jumped on board the May Stamp It Bog Hop.  Because we are nearing the end of May and the next special occasion is only a few weeks away, this month's theme is focusing on Father's Day.  YAY!!  I know that masculine cards can be a struggle for most...including myself, but I've had it in my dreams for a while now what special handmade card I was planning to create.  Let's get mozy-ing along!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, or, if this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

So, can you believe that I hee-hawed around for almost a year eye-balling this stamp set...Country Livin'?  Every time I saw that set, or a customer or friend would point out this stamp set in the catalog, I always thought of my Dad when I would see the pickup image.  Now, granted I colored this image using a new color, Merry Merlot, but when I was really little, we used to own one of these pickups.  Ours was a really pretty blue.  I didn't watercolor this one blue because I was afraid it might clash with the Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide.

Do you spy some new papers?  and, perhaps, a new stamp set?  Teehehe!  Well, then, you have a pretty good eye!  I love that I get to preorder certain new products before the whole catalog goes live.  The rest of the patterns found in the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper are just as wonderful, too.  I immediately fell in love with the stamp set "Itty Bitty Greetings" the minute I laid my eyes on it when we got the new catalog during OnStage in April!  **squeal**  I'm sure you will, too!

 

For more Father's Day themed inspiration, make sure you hop on over to the next Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thank you so much for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Hello and welcome stampers and paper crafters!  I'm so happy that you have stopped by and have jumped on board the May Stamp It Bog Hop.  Because we are nearing the end of May and the next special occasion is only a few weeks away, this month's theme is focusing on Father's Day.  YAY!!  I know that masculine cards can be a struggle for most...including myself, but I've had it in my dreams for a while now what special handmade card I was planning to create.  Let's get mozy-ing along!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, or, if this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

So, can you believe that I hee-hawed around for almost a year eye-balling this stamp set...Country Livin'?  Every time I saw that set, or a customer or friend would point out this stamp set in the catalog, I always thought of my Dad when I would see the pickup image.  Now, granted I colored this image using a new color, Merry Merlot, but when I was really little, we used to own one of these pickups.  Ours was a really pretty blue.  I didn't watercolor this one blue because I was afraid it might clash with the Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide.

Do you spy some new papers?  and, perhaps, a new stamp set?  Teehehe!  Well, then, you have a pretty good eye!  I love that I get to preorder certain new products before the whole catalog goes live.  The rest of the patterns found in the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper are just as wonderful, too.  I immediately fell in love with the stamp set "Itty Bitty Greetings" the minute I laid my eyes on it when we got the new catalog during OnStage in April!  **squeal**  I'm sure you will, too!

 

For more Father's Day themed inspiration, make sure you hop on over to the next Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thank you so much for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Stampin' Friends Blog Hop -- No Rules in March

 

Good morning to everyone!  Welcome to my stop on the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!  I am excited about this months stamping theme...No Rules!!  WHOOPEEEEE!  That's like eating as many sweets as your stomach can consume (without all the added calories, I might add!)  We are given free reign...totally our choice...stamp/craft anything we want!!  I can't tell you how this made my heart go pitter-patter only because these last few weeks I have struggled to find my creative MOJO juice.  If this is your first stop on the Stampin Friends Blog Hop or you arrived here from one of the other Stampin Friends bloggers, I'm excited to share with you.

Sooo, with No Rules comes the perfect opportunity to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) someone else's creation.  Or, at least gain inspiration from a card that moves me and incorporate my own tweaking of colors, designer series paper, or stamped images

 

First up, is a clean-and-simple greeting card showing off one of the patterns from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper.  You can choose this 12" x 12" pack free with a $50 product order during Sale-A-Bration...hurry, this most-favored event ends March 31st!

Creative Tips:

• The inspiration for this creation stems from a sample card pictured in the 2nd Sale-A-Bration release brochure.  I used the same Dapper Denim cardstock and striped pattern from the Springtime Foils Specialty paper, but I changed up the focal arrangement.

 

• To compliment the Dapper Denim cardbase and add a bit of character, I added a piece of Color Theory Designer Series Paper and banner cut the bottom end.  The sentiment comes from the Truly Tailored stamp set inked with Archival Basic Black ink and stamped onto our Shimmery White cardstock.  LOVE that paper!  You can't see in the picture, but it really compliments the Silver Foil stripes.  Add some Silver Metallic Thread to the Stitched Oval and set into place.

 

Acetate Gift Box for Dad:  I am so thrilled that the Acetate Gift Boxes from the last Holiday catalog are still available for purchase.  I cut one in half and decorated it with a belly-band using a strip of the striped Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series paper layered onto strips of the Color Theory Designer Series paper.  The focal point is using elements and design to compliment the card.  Filled it with some Sweet Soirée Ready Shreddie available in the Occasions catalog and will tuck some sweets and gift card to make it complete and ready to gift.  Super easy and oh-so adorbs!!

 

• DID YOU KNOW? that you can click on any images I include related to the project to see an enlarged version?  Yep!  I do this so that you can see the details of my projects a weeee bit better. As I get older, I'm finding myself pulling out what I call my "granny glasses".  haha

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop -- February 2018 Wildflower Wishes

Hello and welcome Stampers and Papercrafters!  It's March 1st and it's time for another series of A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!!  A number of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world have joined together to share alternative projects using supplies from the February monthly kit named Wildflower Wishes.  Let's go take a peek at what I created for you.

This month's hop features Spring and blooming flowers...Wildflower Wishes.  Now, if only my wish for Spring to arrive and stay for awhile would come true because I'm tired of the bitter cold weather.  How about you?  I really like that the stamp set includes several sentiments that can be paired up...large and bold with a smaller, fancy cursive font.  Check out the envelopes that are printed with a floral liner....sooo pretty!

 

I decided to stamp the "Celebrate" sentiment with VersaMark and then clear emboss onto one of the patterned paper choices.

 

It's been a while since I had created a shaker card. The large Decorative Label panel is a sticker, so it made it super easy to cut a Window Sheet strip and stick to the back without having to add my own adhesive.

 

This kit featured Garden Green and Sahara Sand, but my creation needed a 3rd color, so I added in a strip of Pool Party for the backing of the shaker portion.  The Metallic Sequins are the perfect touch for a little glam and more color.  The rest of the components came with the kit.

 

 

Coordinating Triangle Chocolate Treat Holder

This month's hop features Spring and blooming flowers...Wildflower Wishes.  Now, if only my wish for Spring to arrive and stay for awhile would come true because I'm tired of the bitter cold weather.  How about you?  I really like that the stamp set includes several sentiments that can be paired up...large and bold with a smaller, fancy cursive font.  Check out the envelopes that are printed with a floral liner....sooo pretty!

 

I decided to stamp the "Celebrate" sentiment with VersaMark and then clear emboss onto one of the patterned paper choices.

 

It's been a while since I had created a shaker card. The large Decorative Label panel is a sticker, so it made it super easy to cut a Window Sheet strip and stick to the back without having to add my own adhesive.

 

This kit featured Garden Green and Sahara Sand, but my creation needed a 3rd color, so I added in a strip of Pool Party for the backing of the shaker portion.  The Metallic Sequins are the perfect touch for a little glam and more color.  The rest of the components came with the kit.

 

 

Coordinating Triangle Chocolate Treat Holder

This little holder is using a strip cut from one of the patterns papers with the kit.  I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to create the little Garden Green flap (matches the large sentiment stickers in the kit...**squeal**)!!  I inked up the sentiment with Garden Green and clear heat embossed onto a strip of Pool Party.  You can't see them, but there are 2 wonderful chocolates wrapped in green foil.  Perfect for this project and so stinkin' adorable!

OSAT Blog Hop -- All About Men

 

Hello, hello, hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my stop on the One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This months theme is often times a difficult one for many crafters...All About Men. This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from Kelly Acheson's blog. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the "NEXT" button at the bottom of each post.

 

To create a masculine card, one struggles if they feel they don't own a 'masculine' stamp set.  Or, they don't own 'masculine-type' paper.  I'm going to attempt to help you get past that hurdle using the stamp set "This Little Piggy" and some amazing tools, such as the Layering Squares Framelits and the Hexagon Textured Embossing folder.  Plus, the images in this set are super cute and can create a masculine card for all ages.  Lots of fun!

Creative Tips:

• The Hexagon Textured Embossing folder has a lot of character and small patterns that can often times pull and stretch the cardstock and cause it to weaken and tear.  To avoid that, lightly mist the cardstock using the Stampin' Spritzer and water.  The damp cardstock will be more pliable and be more forgiving when stretched tightly in so many different directions.

• It is always fun to include contrasting patterns, such as the 1" strip of Wood Textured Designer Series paper.  Just a little bit is complimentary to the embossed cardstock layer.

 

 

• Bakers Twine is a subtle accessory to dress up a masculine card...and, finishing it with a bow is perfectly okay, too.

• Throw in a little watercoloring using the Aqua Painter and the ink squished into the lid of your ink pad makes This Little Piggy comes to life with a Smoky Slate body and Powder Pink nose.  Layer 'him' onto the new Tranquil Tide Scalloped Square using Stampin' Dimensionals.  NOTE:  Tranquil Tide is one of the newest In Colors...an awesome, deep and rich 'masculine' color.

 

DID YOU KNOW? that you can click on any images I include related to the project to see an enlarged version?  Yep!  I do this so that you can see the details of my projects a weeee bit better. As I get older, I'm finding myself pulling out what I call my "granny glasses".  haha

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to Pam Staples’s blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know that she will have something adorable to share with you.  If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can jump back to Kelly Acheson's blog.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

• It is always fun to include contrasting patterns, such as the 1" strip of Wood Textured Designer Series paper.  Just a little bit is complimentary to the embossed cardstock layer.

 

 

• Bakers Twine is a subtle accessory to dress up a masculine card...and, finishing it with a bow is perfectly okay, too.

• Throw in a little watercoloring using the Aqua Painter and the ink squished into the lid of your ink pad makes This Little Piggy comes to life with a Smoky Slate body and Powder Pink nose.  Layer 'him' onto the new Tranquil Tide Scalloped Square using Stampin' Dimensionals.  NOTE:  Tranquil Tide is one of the newest In Colors...an awesome, deep and rich 'masculine' color.

 

DID YOU KNOW? that you can click on any images I include related to the project to see an enlarged version?  Yep!  I do this so that you can see the details of my projects a weeee bit better. As I get older, I'm finding myself pulling out what I call my "granny glasses".  haha

Hello, hello, hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my stop on the One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This months theme is often times a difficult one for many crafters...All About Men. This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from Kelly Acheson's blog. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the "NEXT" button at the bottom of each post.

 

To create a masculine card, one struggles if they feel they don't own a 'masculine' stamp set.  Or, they don't own 'masculine-type' paper.  I'm going to attempt to help you get past that hurdle using the stamp set "This Little Piggy" and some amazing tools, such as the Layering Squares Framelits and the Hexagon Textured Embossing folder.  Plus, the images in this set are super cute and can create a masculine card for all ages.  Lots of fun!

Creative Tips:

• The Hexagon Textured Embossing folder has a lot of character and small patterns that can often times pull and stretch the cardstock and cause it to weaken and tear.  To avoid that, lightly mist the cardstock using the Stampin' Spritzer and water.  The damp cardstock will be more pliable and be more forgiving when stretched tightly in so many different directions.

• It is always fun to include contrasting patterns, such as the 1" strip of Wood Textured Designer Series paper.  Just a little bit is complimentary to the embossed cardstock layer.

• Throw in a little watercoloring using the Aqua Painter and the ink squished into the lid of your ink pad makes This Little Piggy comes to life with a Smoky Slate body and Powder Pink nose.  Layer 'him' onto the new Tranquil Tide Scalloped Square using Stampin' Dimensionals.  NOTE:  Tranquil Tide is one of the newest In Colors...an awesome, deep and rich 'masculine' color.

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Celebrate Father's Day

 

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for visiting my share of the Stamp It Blog Hop.  First question of the day...do you struggle to create a card for the men and boys?  Well, if you said 'YES', then you are not alone!  I, and a whole lot of other crafters, battle the same fight.  Sooo, you are in for a crafting treat, because this month's theme is all about creating something masculine.  YEAH!!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from my sweet friend, Oksana Semenska's blog.  If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

 

Second question of the day...how many men do you know that LUV to fish?  Oh my gosh!  I know quite a few, and they are as crazed about their fishing as us crafters are...well...about crafting!  Teehehe  I chose to highlight the Seaside Shore stamp set because I had my nephew in mind.  I'm not sure that he is much of a fisherman, but he is out on a boat serving in the Marines.  Hmmm, I wonder if he is even allowed to throw a lure over the side?

Creative Tips:

• Following the colors coordinating with the Designer Series Paper, the cardbase is Mint Macaron, the designer paper is matted onto Dapper Denim, and the sentiment is stamped and matted on Dapper Denim cardstock, attached to the Calypso Coral Scalloped square from the Layering Squares Framelits using dimensionals.

 

• To build on the boat and fishing theme, the Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine was tied in a slip knot and slipped behind the panel on both sides.

• The fish was inked in Calypso Coral and stamped onto scrap Very Vanilla cardstock, cut out and popped up using dimensionals.

• Using Stampin' Write markers to color in various words or phrases of a sentiment adds the perfect WOW factor.

 

UPDATE:  The By The Shore Designer Series Paper, Mint Macaron cardstock, and Very Vanilla Thick Baker’s Twine are all retiring at the end of this month...last day is May 31st.  And, everything is while supplies last.  In fact, the By The Shore designer paper must already be sold out as I could not find it, but the other two items I listed are still in stock.  Don't delay....order from my online store today!

For more Mother's Day themed inspiration, make sure you visit the other Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Celebrating Birthdays!!

 

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for visiting my share of the Stamp It Blog Hop. This month's theme is one that everyone can use lots of ideas and inspiration...who doesn't get excited about Birthdays?!!  There are so many ways to celebrate a birthday...with a card, banners, treat boxes, cupcake toppers, party favors...you name it.  Birthday's are so much fun to share with family and friends.

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from team blogger, Rachael Rife's blog.  If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I have a number of girlfriends that are sassy and spunky; therefore, they are the focus of my Birthday card.  When I got a first peek of the Sale-A-Bration catalog, the "Hey Chick" stamp set was the first one I wanted to put on my order.  It's free with a $50 purchase! If you don't have your copy of this set yet....you need to add those sassy chicks to your arsenal of rubber stamps.  Super CUTE!

Creative Tips:

• I haven't played with a 'fancy' fold card in a while, so the traditional 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" cardbase has 2" cut off the front panel.

• The color palette originates from the Carried Away Designer Series Paper pack.  This is another item you can earn for FREE with a $50 product purchase.  There are a ton of colors to work with in this pack....Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Peekaboo Peach, Smoky Slate, Watermelon Wonder, and Whisper White.

• The Watermelon Wonder cardstock layer showcases the new Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder available in the Occasions catalog (page 47).  I was raised on a farm with lots of chickens that I could not pass up transforming it into a 'chicken wire' appearance.

• I am so in love with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The Whisper White focal layer is sized 2-1/2" x 3", which does not match any of the stitched framelits.  I used the largest framelit to help me create a stitched impression on all four sides.

• Did you hear that the Watercolor Pencils are back in stock?  Not for long, though, so you will want to get your set real soon...the second round of stock is estimated to be sold out within the next couple of weeks.  I used Blender Pens to do my coloring with the Watercolor Pencils...everyone needs to try out a Calypso Coral hairdo, right?!!  haha.

• Even though Valentines Day is here and gone, the Mini Paper Clips found with the Sending Love Suite (Page 15 in the Occasions catalog) came in handy to accent the Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine.

 

There are several different sassy chicks with sentiments available in the Hey Chick stamp set that I could have used in the lower corner of the card, but this one fit the bill for a birthday celebration.  Don't you just love it when you have the freedom to create how you feel?  LOVE it!

For more Birthday themed inspiration, make sure you visit the other Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for visiting my share of the Stamp It Blog Hop.  First question of the day...do you struggle to create a card for the men and boys?  Well, if you said 'YES', then you are not alone!  I, and a whole lot of other crafters, battle the same fight.  Sooo, you are in for a crafting treat, because this month's theme is all about creating something masculine.  YEAH!!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from my sweet friend, Oksana Semenska's blog.  If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

 

Second question of the day...how many men do you know that LUV to fish?  Oh my gosh!  I know quite a few, and they are as crazed about their fishing as us crafters are...well...about crafting!  Teehehe  I chose to highlight the Seaside Shore stamp set because I had my nephew in mind.  I'm not sure that he is much of a fisherman, but he is out on a boat serving in the Marines.  Hmmm, I wonder if he is even allowed to throw a lure over the side?

Creative Tips:

• Following the colors coordinating with the Designer Series Paper, the cardbase is Mint Macaron, the designer paper is matted onto Dapper Denim, and the sentiment is stamped and matted on Dapper Denim cardstock, attached to the Calypso Coral Scalloped square from the Layering Squares Framelits using dimensionals.

 

• To build on the boat and fishing theme, the Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine was tied in a slip knot and slipped behind the panel on both sides.

• The fish was inked in Calypso Coral and stamped onto scrap Very Vanilla cardstock, cut out and popped up using dimensionals.

• Using Stampin' Write markers to color in various words or phrases of a sentiment adds the perfect WOW factor.

 

UPDATE:  The By The Shore Designer Series Paper, Mint Macaron cardstock, and Very Vanilla Thick Baker’s Twine are all retiring at the end of this month...last day is May 31st.  And, everything is while supplies last.  In fact, the By The Shore designer paper must already be sold out as I could not find it, but the other two items I listed are still in stock.  Don't delay....order from my online store today!

This month's theme is one that everyone can use lots of ideas and inspiration...who doesn't get excited about Birthdays?!!  There are so many ways to celebrate a birthday...with a card, banners, treat boxes, cupcake toppers, party favors...you name it.  Birthday's are so much fun to share with family and friends.

If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I have a number of girlfriends that are sassy and spunky; therefore, they are the focus of my Birthday card.  When I got a first peek of the Sale-A-Bration catalog, the "Hey Chick" stamp set was the first one I wanted to put on my order.  It's free with a $50 purchase! If you don't have your copy of this set yet....you need to add those sassy chicks to your arsenal of rubber stamps.  Super CUTE!

Creative Tips:

• I haven't played with a 'fancy' fold card in a while, so the traditional 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" cardbase has 2" cut off the front panel.

• The color palette originates from the Carried Away Designer Series Paper pack.  This is another item you can earn for FREE with a $50 product purchase.  There are a ton of colors to work with in this pack....Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Peekaboo Peach, Smoky Slate, Watermelon Wonder, and Whisper White.

• The Watermelon Wonder cardstock layer showcases the new Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder available in the Occasions catalog (page 47).  I was raised on a farm with lots of chickens that I could not pass up transforming it into a 'chicken wire' appearance.

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for visiting my share of the Stamp It Blog Hop.  First question of the day...do you struggle to create a card for the men and boys?  Well, if you said 'YES', then you are not alone!  I, and a whole lot of other crafters, battle the same fight.  Sooo, you are in for a crafting treat, because this month's theme is all about creating something masculine.  YEAH!!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from my sweet friend, Oksana Semenska's blog.  If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

 

Second question of the day...how many men do you know that LUV to fish?  Oh my gosh!  I know quite a few, and they are as crazed about their fishing as us crafters are...well...about crafting!  Teehehe  I chose to highlight the Seaside Shore stamp set because I had my nephew in mind.  I'm not sure that he is much of a fisherman, but he is out on a boat serving in the Marines.  Hmmm, I wonder if he is even allowed to throw a lure over the side?

Creative Tips:

• Following the colors coordinating with the Designer Series Paper, the cardbase is Mint Macaron, the designer paper is matted onto Dapper Denim, and the sentiment is stamped and matted on Dapper Denim cardstock, attached to the Calypso Coral Scalloped square from the Layering Squares Framelits using dimensionals.

 

• To build on the boat and fishing theme, the Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine was tied in a slip knot and slipped behind the panel on both sides.

• The fish was inked in Calypso Coral and stamped onto scrap Very Vanilla cardstock, cut out and popped up using dimensionals.

• Using Stampin' Write markers to color in various words or phrases of a sentiment adds the perfect WOW factor.

 

UPDATE:  The By The Shore Designer Series Paper, Mint Macaron cardstock, and Very Vanilla Thick Baker’s Twine are all retiring at the end of this month...last day is May 31st.  And, everything is while supplies last.  In fact, the By The Shore designer paper must already be sold out as I could not find it, but the other two items I listed are still in stock.  Don't delay....order from my online store today!

For more Mother's Day themed inspiration, make sure you visit the other Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Celebrating Birthdays!!

 

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for visiting my share of the Stamp It Blog Hop. This month's theme is one that everyone can use lots of ideas and inspiration...who doesn't get excited about Birthdays?!!  There are so many ways to celebrate a birthday...with a card, banners, treat boxes, cupcake toppers, party favors...you name it.  Birthday's are so much fun to share with family and friends.

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from team blogger, Rachael Rife's blog.  If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I have a number of girlfriends that are sassy and spunky; therefore, they are the focus of my Birthday card.  When I got a first peek of the Sale-A-Bration catalog, the "Hey Chick" stamp set was the first one I wanted to put on my order.  It's free with a $50 purchase! If you don't have your copy of this set yet....you need to add those sassy chicks to your arsenal of rubber stamps.  Super CUTE!

Creative Tips:

• I haven't played with a 'fancy' fold card in a while, so the traditional 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" cardbase has 2" cut off the front panel.

• The color palette originates from the Carried Away Designer Series Paper pack.  This is another item you can earn for FREE with a $50 product purchase.  There are a ton of colors to work with in this pack....Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Peekaboo Peach, Smoky Slate, Watermelon Wonder, and Whisper White.

• The Watermelon Wonder cardstock layer showcases the new Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder available in the Occasions catalog (page 47).  I was raised on a farm with lots of chickens that I could not pass up transforming it into a 'chicken wire' appearance.

• I am so in love with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The Whisper White focal layer is sized 2-1/2" x 3", which does not match any of the stitched framelits.  I used the largest framelit to help me create a stitched impression on all four sides.

• Did you hear that the Watercolor Pencils are back in stock?  Not for long, though, so you will want to get your set real soon...the second round of stock is estimated to be sold out within the next couple of weeks.  I used Blender Pens to do my coloring with the Watercolor Pencils...everyone needs to try out a Calypso Coral hairdo, right?!!  haha.

• Even though Valentines Day is here and gone, the Mini Paper Clips found with the Sending Love Suite (Page 15 in the Occasions catalog) came in handy to accent the Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine.

 

There are several different sassy chicks with sentiments available in the Hey Chick stamp set that I could have used in the lower corner of the card, but this one fit the bill for a birthday celebration.  Don't you just love it when you have the freedom to create how you feel?  LOVE it!

For more Birthday themed inspiration, make sure you visit the other Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Celebrating Birthdays!!

 

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for visiting my share of the Stamp It Blog Hop. This month's theme is one that everyone can use lots of ideas and inspiration...who doesn't get excited about Birthdays?!!  There are so many ways to celebrate a birthday...with a card, banners, treat boxes, cupcake toppers, party favors...you name it.  Birthday's are so much fun to share with family and friends.

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from team blogger, Rachael Rife's blog.  If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I have a number of girlfriends that are sassy and spunky; therefore, they are the focus of my Birthday card.  When I got a first peek of the Sale-A-Bration catalog, the "Hey Chick" stamp set was the first one I wanted to put on my order.  It's free with a $50 purchase! If you don't have your copy of this set yet....you need to add those sassy chicks to your arsenal of rubber stamps.  Super CUTE!

Creative Tips:

• I haven't played with a 'fancy' fold card in a while, so the traditional 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" cardbase has 2" cut off the front panel.

• The color palette originates from the Carried Away Designer Series Paper pack.  This is another item you can earn for FREE with a $50 product purchase.  There are a ton of colors to work with in this pack....Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Peekaboo Peach, Smoky Slate, Watermelon Wonder, and Whisper White.

• The Watermelon Wonder cardstock layer showcases the new Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder available in the Occasions catalog (page 47).  I was raised on a farm with lots of chickens that I could not pass up transforming it into a 'chicken wire' appearance.

• I am so in love with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The Whisper White focal layer is sized 2-1/2" x 3", which does not match any of the stitched framelits.  I used the largest framelit to help me create a stitched impression on all four sides.

• Did you hear that the Watercolor Pencils are back in stock?  Not for long, though, so you will want to get your set real soon...the second round of stock is estimated to be sold out within the next couple of weeks.  I used Blender Pens to do my coloring with the Watercolor Pencils...everyone needs to try out a Calypso Coral hairdo, right?!!  haha.

• Even though Valentines Day is here and gone, the Mini Paper Clips found with the Sending Love Suite (Page 15 in the Occasions catalog) came in handy to accent the Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine.

 

There are several different sassy chicks with sentiments available in the Hey Chick stamp set that I could have used in the lower corner of the card, but this one fit the bill for a birthday celebration.  Don't you just love it when you have the freedom to create how you feel?  LOVE it!

For more Birthday themed inspiration, make sure you visit the other Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.
