OSAT Kids Only Blog Hop

Good Morning!!! It is One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop time and we are hopping with a Kids Only theme. Of course this could also mean Back To School, so I am sure you will see some wonderful creations geared towards this time of year! Are you ready for school to start?? I sure am!

Did you get to me by way of the amazing Dena Rekow? Her creativity does not ever disappoint me! I can't wait to show you what I have made for you this month.

I honestly wasn't sure what DSP or what card I wanted to make, but I knew that I wanted to make a "Back Pack" as my 3D item. Taryn (my youngest daughter) has a dress that would coordinate with this whole ensemble, so I began creating with her in mind.

My Night of Navy based card with Daffodil Delight matte was perfect for simple yet delicate card. What better than a sentiment from Watercolor Words telling my kid that "You're The Best". I think they all need to hear it. I heat embossed this with the Stampin' Emboss White Powder and did a lovely Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon. I layered three water colored daisies from the Daisy Delight Bundle and gave it a nice little Metal Rimmed Pearl as a center. I adhere this with a couple little banners of the ribbon with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Adorable right? I made this cute little back with Night of Navy Card Stock but you will also notice I stamped it using Night of Navy ink with the Burlap Background Stamp to add some texture. This also has the Delightful Daisy DSP and Metal Rimmed Pearls. The great thing about this Back Pack is that it opens up to a fun little mini album. I didn't quite have time to adorn and embellish the pages yet but added some DSP so you get the idea. To fasten it shut I used some Velcro. The front small pocket is functional as well.

I am so glad you came by today! I will be posting the instructions on the backpack shortly so stay tuned!

OSAT Blog Hoppers Back To School

Welcome to this months One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! I just can't get over how cute Andrea's stuff was!! I can't believe that summer is almost over and the kids are heading back to school! Which is our theme this month... Back to School!

If you KNOW me, I am the mother that crafts for EVERY party... I even offered to make 30 Teacher Cards to welcome our elementary school teachers back to school! I really had fun making these cards and I can't wait for you to take peak!!!

Here are my goodies! They are a little of something old, something new, something borrowed and unfortunately I didn't use blue! In these projects I used Stampin' Up! Unity Stamps and a CuttleBug embossing folder!

I started this card with a lovely base of Mossy Meadow Card Stock, With a quick layer of Tip Top Taupe. The Very Vanilla layer is stamped using the Hardwood stamp with Tip Top Taupe ink. I then cut about a 2 inch strip and embossed with a Chicken Wire embossing folder from Cuttlebug. The dotted lace trim was glued to the back before adhering the strip to the Hardwood. The Apple and "of my eye" is from Unity Stamp Co. I stamped the sentiment on the Very Vanilla card stock with Mossy Meadow ink. The Apple I made by using Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Emboss Powder. The leaf was colored in with Mossy Meadow. I finished off this great card by adhering the apple with Stampin' Dimensional and a Linen Thread Bow at the stem!

My cute little Post-It Note holder I made using Mossy Meadow Card Stock as the base so that it would coordinate with the card. I managed to find a retired school themed paper that went well with the card stock. Then embellished with linen thread and a heat embossed apple much like the one on the card. Finished with a linen thread bow! You can get the Post It Note Tutorial here.

Thank You all so much for touring the hop!! Wait to until you see what Martie has whipped up for you!! She is so talented!

Have a fabulous day!
