OSAT Season of Cheer Blog Hop

Happy Thursday to you all! This week has sure blown by! Taryn leaves for a church youth retreat tomorrow morning and Wesley leaves for the football teams away game tomorrow. They are giving the boys a brunch before sending them on their way, so I have to whip up 2 dozen muffins! Wesley has requested these pumpkin muffins that were one of the first recipes I tried from Pinterest. They are just a box of yellow cake mix and a can of pumpkin. Sometimes I spruce them up with a bit of pumpkin pie spice. All three kids really enjoy them.

Today I am back with my friends and crew from the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! We are hopping with the theme "Season Of Cheer", so if your holiday spirit is lacking, this hop is sure to get you feeling jolly again! I decided to pair up the Encircled in Warmth with the Heart Warming Hugs DSP for a fun home décor project and a simple little gift card holder, Lets take a look!

I just love how these projects turned out! I dwelled on the card for hours. The juices weren't flowing and I was pressed for time. I still, no matter what I try, am a master procrastinator! How do I fix this!? My wooden spool Christmas Tree is amazing and maybe why the juices weren't ever flowing! I used 11 spools. A painted one in brown for the trunk and the rest wrapped in assorted patterns from the Heart Warming Hugs DSP. It is accented with a bow of the Real Red Ruffled Ribbon and a stitched star of the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper.

This gift card holder started with the sentiment made with the Encircled in Warmth stamp set and my Stampin' Write Markers in Pear Pizzazz and Real Red. It is die cut with the largest label in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. This fun little gift card holder sits on a piece of Pear Pizzazz that is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". This was then matted with Real Red and the pocket feature made of Crumb Cake. I added a bit of the Heart Warming Hugs DSP and the Real Red Sheer Ribbon to keep it closed. You can see the inside below.

The sentiment is attached to the top flap with a few dimensionals. I then accented the label with some Wonderful Gems.  This is the perfect kind of Gift Card Holder for mailing this holiday season!

I am so glad that you stopped in today to see what I made for this Season of Cheer blog hop! I can't wait for you to see what my friends have made! You can click through the blog roll below for all of your holiday inspiration!

The Spot 137 Sweetest Time Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday to all of you! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?? It will be everything but normal for many of us. I spent the weekend working on orders and on Sunday we has a mini holiday photo session. I am so excited to see the pictures! She even nice enough to do a new headshot for me! My parenting goal this week is for all kids to be at school ALL WEEK LONG. First world problems I know, and we are so grateful that our schools have been open for in person learning. 

Today I am designing with The Spot. A majority of us decided to use the Heart Warming Hugs DSP because of course this color combo was inspired by it but I decided to put another twist on it by using a sheet of the DSP from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. I have made my card in two color ways! Enough about my designs, let me show you what I have made.

I decided to do my cards in two color ways, one with Pear Pizzazz on Real Red and the other with Mossy Meadow.  The Gingham like paper from the Heart Warming Hugs paired adorably with the Candy Cane paper from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. I used the bough dies from the Sweetest Time Bundle on the left edge. The sweet little sentiment is from the bundle and looks so cute on one of the die cuts from the Tasteful Label Dies. I have accented this card with a peppermint die cut with the Striped Mossy Meadow Ribbon and Sheer Real Red. 

I can't wait to see you what you create with this weeks colors! It will make you all feel a little bit of Holiday Cheer!
