OSAT Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Happy Thursday!! This is the 3rd post I have done in 24 hours!! HOLY MOLY!!!! We are back again with the OSAT Blog Hop!! This month our theme is a Birthday Bash! Did you come by way of Dena Rekow? If so and welcome!

After having not one but two shaker card posts yesterday you can imagine that my goal was to NOT do a shaker card! When brainstorming for this month I could have either been really predictable or surprise myself. Well guess what... it was the latter of the two! When was the last time you have seen me A. Sponge and B. Emboss Resist?! Um Never!!!!!!!! I am going to warn you there are 4 pictures but it is because I wanted to be sure you got see all the lovely details!!!

Okay so my color combo happened by happenstance! It absolutely oozes femininity. So I had started sponging with Flirty Flamingo ink onto the Irresistibly Floral Specialty DSP! You can ink this great paper up with what ever colors you choose. As I stated before I started with the Flirty Flamingo, then moved to Peekaboo Peach. I knew I wanted to transition to a yellow or gold to finish! I chose Delightful Dijon. I wasn't sure it was a good decision but the end product was pretty fabulous! After finishing the sponging I wrapped the 3/8 inch Ruched Flirty Flamingo ribbon around the floral resist paper. I adhered this to a matte of Flirty Flamingo and set it aside. I wanted a sweet little birthday sentiment... Birthday Blooms had the sweetest little sentiment for this card! I stamped it in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Whisper White then adhered it to a Peekaboo Peach matte! My big loopy bow and pearl embellishments were just what I needed to finish this card off!

What girl does not like a purse for her birthday?! I made this great little hand bag complete with a cute little note book and Gold Glitter pen! I really didn't have any DSP to fit the purse or go with the colors. I inked up my Paisley & Posies set with Versamark and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder! I then began sponging using the Flirty Flaming and Peekaboo Peach inks! The great tag on my handbag is from the Here's To Cheers bundle available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog!

Here is a few more pictures of the purse!! This tag bundle really is to die for!!

Here is the great little note book that goes in the paper purse!

Stampin' Friends Hope Blog Hop

Siara

Happy Thursday!! I am hopping along today with all my friends from the Stampin Friends Facebook group. Our theme this month is "Hope".  Did you come by way of Siara?? She always makes such beautiful stuff! 

We have some super fabulous guest designers 
Maureen Rauchfuss
Angela Lorenz
Kim Lamos
Make sure you stop by their blogs and make them feel welcome!

So I am sure like many of you, I have received my pre-order!!! This set has got to be one of my favorites!

My card and cup started with a rich base of Night of Navy. I've matted my paisley stamped Very Vanilla with Rich Razzleberry to coordinate with the Petals & Paisleys DSP! I just can't get enough of this Paisleys & Posies stamp set. I've used various stamps from the set using Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Cajun Craze inks to create my own DSP like pattern. I used the small copper dot paper to cut a stitched circle to adhere my sentiment and copper thread!

The cute cup was made using a tutorial on Pinterest and could really hold a lot!!!

Stamp Ink Paper 60 Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday to you all!! Our summer is winding down with our county fair almost over and school right around the corner. Our annual company get away is this weekend and the kids can't wait to go to Elitch Gardens!!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we have a nice purple challenge! You will notice that we are not using Stampin' Up! color names. This is because we do not want you as participants to feel confined to using only Stampin' Up! product.

Did you notice some of us have gotten our pre-orders?? It looks like Amy Koenders and I have great minds and couldn't wait to bust open our new Paisley set!





My card started with a regal base of Elegant Eggplant! I then used my Stitched Rectangles from Gina Marie Designs to cut the Smoky Slate and Whisper White Layers. The Whisper White layer is stamped using the Paisleys & Posies Photopolymer stamp set in Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder and Smoky Slate! I added some sequins to give it a little whimsy! The Elegant Eggplant sentiment is on a 3/4 Inch strip punched at both ends with the Banner Triple Punch. This was a really funny and simple card to make! I can't wait to show you the rest of my NEW goodies!

Thank You for stopping by!
