Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop April 2020

Happy Tuesday!!! It is lunch time for us and I am thinking about whipping something up in the Instantpot! We are so lucky to have Grab N Go lunches available from the school here it has been a savior when it comes to snacking and lunches! The kids and I are getting our vegetables ready for planting in our garden. This is the year we are finally taking the leap to make a BIG garden! The good news is I do know how to can and we love to cook! 

This is my second post today... CRAZY I know, but I have had this project in my head for like a MONTH now and I love that Stampin' Up! products can be used for more than cards or scrapbooking! I have made a few Home Décor type pieces using our products and I was so excited to be hopping with my creation today!

I have used a number of dies when creating this! The Magnolia Memory Dies were used to create my flowers. Once I glued the desired layers of petals I spritzed them with water and scrunched them up. The centers of the flowers were created using the punch from Sale A Bration. I layered two and snipped the petals in half. The flowers are accented with a heat embossed gold feather and greenery from the In The Woods dies and First Frost in Soft Seafoam and Pear Pizzazz. I even used the Champagne Shimmer mist on the antlers so that they looked gold! 

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait for you to see what my other crafty friends have made, click on the list below to take a short tour around the hop!

Creation Station Full Monty Blog Hop

Sunday, Sunday... a day that is a blessing and a curse. Especially with tomorrow being a Monday! Have you seen the story out there about the teen that is trying to get the Super Bowl moved to Saturday and the statistics about how many people that DO NOT show up to work the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday? This kid is onto something!



I am back with the Creation Station Design Team for a what we are calling a "Full Monty" blog hop! The idea was for us to hop with product suites from the catalog with an emphasis on our Mini... Well, I decided to showcase a suite that could be getting a bit neglected with all of the amazing Poppies, Purses and Parisian Suites in our Mini. Good Morning Magnolia is hands down one of my most favorite suites EVER. So when I was trying to whip something last night (after refereeing children, the horse shoer showing up and needing to run to the store when Troy got home from work FINALLY, my day was shot), I stumbled on this partially colored Memories & More card and had my AHA!! moment.

 So, the card started with a Memories & More card from the Magnolia Lane pack. This was colored with Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I knew that I wanted to layer this onto the coordinating Memories & More Large Specialty Cards. A nice piece of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper was a nice touch, I could have put a bit of mat behind it for more of a pop. I have stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink with the decorative border stamped in Petal Pink. The die cut is NOT in the suite... I know I am a rebel, but it worked out well with what I was creating, it is from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The small magnolia colored to coordinate with the background was the perfect touch. This is all adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals over a piece of the Striped Organza Petal Pink Ribbon.

TGIF Challenges 212 Paper Flowers Challenge

TGIF!!!!! I really mean it! Summer showed its face this week with temps in the 90's and a few rumbles of afternoon Thunderstorms! I am a huge storm cloud junkie... I am often outside as storms are rolling in to get pictures, it is the safest idea but the clouds are amazing! Last night while watching the 10 PM news and weather they even shared one of my photos... That makes me famous, right?! It really wasn't the first time though and with severe season on top of us... it probably is not the last.

This week our TGIF Challenge is Paper Flowers!  If you are needing some inspiration our design team has put together some amazing samples and you can get to them by clicking below, but first let me show you what I have made!

I must say that the upcoming NEW Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is ABSOLUTELY one of the best catalogs I have seen in a long time. I am sure that at this point you have seen the Magnolia Lane Suite, It will be my focus for my August class! I just can't get enough of the earthy colors and soft pinks! It is my favorite! Well at least, for now! I went a bit picture happy with my creation and let me give you a quick disclaimer... I will be live on my Facebook business page with this tote tutorial on Wednesday!

This is great purse like Box is made of two sheets of 12 x 12 DSP. Who would have though?! I have accented this great tote with Petal Pink Card stock with a coordinating stripe that is in the Magnolia Lane DSP.  The handle of Crumb Cake card stock and small print magnolias coordinates with my Detailed Tag Topper purse closure. I created the beautiful Magnolia Memory Dies and the Balloon Bouquet Punch. I sponged Petal Pink on the edges and used my bone folder to give the petals some shape. I again accented the flower with the Petal Pink Striped Organdy Ribbon and Champagne Foil Leaves! 

I can't wait to see how you play along with our Paper Flowers Challenge!

I have provided a full list of products below that I used to create this amazing bag!
