Stampin Friends No Rules July Blog Hop

Wow! It has been a while friends but the Stampin Friends blog hop is back from a little break! Guess what?! We are hopping with NO RULES so there is no telling what you will see this month on the hop!

I can't lie to you... Crafting this summer has been a struggle. I feel like I don't just get a day to work or I find myself riding the horse instead of making cards... So this is an effort to get back to the swing of things. I hope you enjoy!

To tour the hop the link list provided below will help you along! I hope you have enjoyed my creations!

Paper Craft Crew 2247 Sketch Challenge

Happy Wednesday! So excited for the week to be ALMOST over! Not been feeling the best lately but there is no rest for the wicked! All the kids are healthy and back at school. Wesley has his post appendectomy check up this afternoon. The kid is ready to be part of PE and recess again!

This week with the Paper Craft Crew we have a sketch that I am sure everyone will enjoy! I have been on a bit of a "Birthday" kick lately. So I busted some goodies that I have been neglected out of the Annual Catalog and whipped this little cutie!






I really wanted to play something I had not used in a while! I think we get caught up in the Occasions catalog and forget about the great papers and stamps in the Annual! I started with a base of Peekaboo Peach with a matte of Sweet Sugarplum. The cute polka dot DSP is from the Playful Palette stack! My Very Vanilla Stitched Circle is stamped with Peekaboo Peach using the "Hooray" sentiment from the Confetti Celebrations stamp set! I added some cute little balloons from the Balloon Celebration set and a recycled strip of Blushing Bride Glimmer paper for the accents!

Paper Craft Crew 200 Sketch Challenge

Happy Hump Day to those of you seeing this on Wednesday! First let me take a minute to tell you that it was HOT here Tuesday! Not just a little hot, like 106 HOT! The kids and I decided that without our central air working that we would brave the masses (I thought it would have been more crowded) at the pool!

Today I am posting with the Paper Craft Crew design team! We have a really fabulous sketch for you to have fun with!

This card started with the some 6 x 6 DSP called Pop of Pink! This DSP is AMAZING! Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White and Gold!! What more could a girl want from a DSP?? My base of this card is Melon Mambo! The Gold Sprinkled DSP is from the Pop of Pink pack as well as the angled fancy layer. I wanted to break up some of the pink so I used Basic Black to matte my Heidi Swap Gold shimmer sprayed Whisper White. The fancy gold and black metallic thread made some fabulous loops on top of my gold metallic washi. The "Hooray" sentiment is from the Confetti Celebrations set. I stamped this using our Archival Basic Black ink onto a Gina Marie stitched circle and adhered it to my gold foil star!  Instead of the button in the sketch I opted for some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Onyx, Strawberry Burst and Gold!

This is an amazing sketch with tons of possibilities and I can't wait to see what your take on it is!!

OSAT June Summer Lovin Blog Hop

Holy Moly! The second Thursday of the month already?! It totally creeped up on me!

With that being said, Welcome to this months One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! If you came by way of the amazingly talented Kelly Acheson welcome! 

  This month our theme is "Summer Lovin". Many of us have been feverishly waiting for the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog to go live and well you guessed it, It DID! So a lot of what you may see through this months hop will be new to you!

      So with all of my genius ideas this months theme was my idea... Then on Monday when I go to work on it, STUMPED... But I think it is fun pairing and I can't wait to tell you about it!

So my creations started with Playful Palette 6 x 6 DSP Stack! I honestly made fun of this stack when I first saw it and said "New Kids On The Block Called, They want their paper back." I honestly have to say that once I started using it is was great stack to play with! My card base is Sweet Sugarplum card stock with a cheerful matte of Peekabo Peach. I can't stay away from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits! I cut the sentiment out of the Sweet Sugarplum to coordinate with base of the card. The heart was cut out of the Blushing Bride glimmer paper. I used spray adhesive for the scribble part then used Stampin' Dimensionals to use the center! I adhered a few sequins and added some Wink of Stella to the "love" so that not just the heart was sparkly! There's a better picture below.

I went ahead and a did a cute little Mini Treat Bag using DSP from the same stack! I must confess that the stitched circle I stamped Hooray from Confetti Celebrations on is not Stampin' Up! Behind it you'll find I did the Black Metallic thread loops with a coordinating DSP banner. I completed this fab little bag with Sweet Sugarplum touched ribbon!

Thank you all so much for stopping by!! Make sure you tour the WHOLE hop!!! Next is my partner in crime Justin Krieger!! You can get to him by clicking the next button!!
