Stamp Ink Paper 142 Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday! Stamp Ink Paper is back this week with a bright and fun color challenge for you! 

Did you survive the weekend?? We had a long weekend down in the southeastern corner of Colorado filled with movies, a rowdy game of Clue and a great time at Parrot Cove indoor waterpark in Garden City (that is in Kansas). Kids didn't want to go back to school after being off for a week, personally I am kind of ready for them to be home again.

I love our colors for this weeks challenge. You can really do a lot with Gray, Aqua and Lime. Let me show you my card!

My card started with a card base from the Sale A Bration Tutti Frutti Card Bases and Envelopes. I matted a piece of Basic Gray in a not so straight manner. I wasn't sure exactly at this point what my plan was, but after digging through my DSP stash I found this fun star patterned piece from the Bubble and Fizz also in the Sale A Bration catalog. This was adhered the opposite direction of the Basic Gray. I took my snips after stamping the sentiment from Birthday Wit in Smoky Slate and Lemon Lime Twist and cut the words out. Using the Star from the Mini Treat Bag Framelits, I cut three Magic Myths Glimmer Paper Stars and adhered them with Glue Dots on the card. Next I adhered the sentiment with the Mini Dimensionals. To finish this card off I added just a few of the Self Adhesive Sequins.

Thank You soooo much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what you create with these fun colors!

Sale A Bration Kick Off Blog Hop

I am so excited that Sale-A-Bration starts tomorrow!! Welcome to the 2018 Sale-A-Bration Kick Off Blog Hop!! I want to a say a special Thank You to Janet Wakeland for giving Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Globally an opportunity to debut these amazing goodies!
For those of you who are new to my blog, I am Andrea Tracy-Tucker! I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for going on 5 Years! I live on the eastern edge of Colorado in small little town of 2000 people! I'm am happily married and have 3 amazing kiddos, 2 Horses and a dog! The crazy thing about this, I grew up in San Diego! So the weather is a drastic contrast to what I grew up with! That is enough of me! Let me show you these cute Sale-A-Bration creations!

So let me tell you something... I couldn't decide what to use!!! I started with a set of cards made with the Celebrate You thinlits. Then I had a moment where I panicked over not doing something "cool" enough... I got up this morning, did not start over but decided to make a coordinating something!

This fun card starts with a bright base of Pumpkin Pie card stock with a matte of Lemon Lime Twist. I couldn't wait to use the candle paper from Picture Perfect Party DSP. The Bermuda Bay matted stripe is also from this collection. The Celebrate is cut using the Celebrate You Thinlits, I cut it twice out of Basic Black card stock. I then cut it out of the Turquoise Glimmer Paper from the Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper pack! This is a really great pack with a light green and iridescent as well! This card wasn't complete until I added the fussy cut Panda from Party Pandas! 

This was the something I created this morning to coordinate with my card! Cute and oh so easy! I used our Mini Treat Bag Framelits to create this cutie! The Panda came back! Who doesn't love a panda? The Bubble & Fizz DSP works well with Picture Perfect Party DSP in my card. I made a 2 inch band and created a Stitched Circle with an Iridescent Glimmer paper circle for the panda to hang out on! The Lemon Lime Twist sentiment was created using the torn looking die from the Mini Treat Bag Dies. I added a strip of Bermuda Bay Stars and Calypso Coral dots for some fun layers! 

Thank You so much for stopping by today!! I can't wait for Sale A Bration to start tomorrow! You will find a full blog list below! Click right on through for some more amazing ideas!

TGIF 115 Color Challenge

Soooooo glad that today is Friday!! I have been bursting at the seams for you all to see this weeks TGIF Challenge!!! It is a great color challenge featuring the new In Colors from Stampin' Up!

I couldn't wait to go a little outside the box with this one and NOT make a card!

My fun Gold and White striped bag was screaming at me to be used for this challenge. The Oh So Eclectic bundle with the Fabulous Foil Acetate was perfect with my Ruffled embossed banner and Linen Thread bow. I used the Gold Binder clip to hold this cutie on.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this weeks challenge! Sorry, my post is so short but I have to go ride the horses before its 108 degrees again!

Something OLD and Something NEW Blog Hop

Happy Sunday! I am back with the Creation Station Design Team blog hop for this first Sunday of June! Can you believe it is June already?? Did you already go shopping in the Annual Catalog?? We have had quite a busy week here at our house with a birthday, summer school, chores, horses and  of course the pool. So I have had a heck of a time getting into my groove!

Creation Station is hopping this month with the theme "Something Old AND Something New" The goal was to use something that was a returning in the Annual Catalog with stuff that is new in the Annual Catalog. Lets take a look at what I have come up with...

I wanted to show you how Dino-Riffic these little projects came out! I have used the No Bones about it stamp set with the Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper. Adorable right?

The card is a base of Sahara Sand with a matte of Flirty Flamingo to coordinate with the strip across. I simply stamped the Dinosaur from No Bones About it and heat embossed his skeleton in Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. The paper is from the Pick A Pattern DSP set that is new in the Annual Catalog. I accented this with some fun Glitter Enamel Dots and Crushed Curry Bakers Twine which are new as well!

This coordinating Mini Treat Bag was also made with the Pick A Pattern Paper and No Bones About It. It was the perfect little coordinating item to go with my card above.... I just love the way this all worked together! You can get a full list of my products at the bottom of my post!

Thank You so much for stopping by! Next on the hop is Dena Rekow you can get to her by clicking the Next button or if you are going backwards you can get to Jennifer Down by clicking Back!

Paper Craft Crew 240 Sketch Challenge

I am not exactly sure where the week has gone! It seems like after the kids are on spring break time just flies by... especially after we went to San Diego!

I am finally going to share my Display Samples for Stampin' Up! OnStage Local San Diego with you! It was very convenient when I saw this weeks sketch and realized that this Super Duper treat bag "went" with the sketch. After all a sketch is left to A LOT of interpretation and this time I was definitely not literal!





So I obviously had the Eastern Palace DSP! You will notice in future posts that I tried really hard to make it look non "Eastern". It is a very versatile pack of DSP that can be used in wide assortment of projects including this Super Duper treat bag! This was made using the Mini Treat Bag Dies. I just love the Dapper Denim, Lemon Lime Twist and Very Vanilla Combo. This would be great for a boys birthday party! The sentiment is stamped in the Dapper Denim ink twice! I fussy cut the whole sign first and then popped the "Super Duper" up with Stampin' Dimensionals after I fussy cut it too! A nice bow of the upcoming Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon was the perfect finishing touch!

Thank You so much for stopping by! I know the interpretation of the sketch is rather loose but it worked! I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

OSAT All You Need is Love Blog Hop

Yayyyy we are back! It is the second Thursday of the month! This is where myself and a whole bunch of One Stamp At A Time's member participate in a OOBER fabulous hop! I can't wait to show you this month's hop. It is oozing with creativity and a whole lot of love!

This month our theme is "All You Need is Love" and I can't wait to share the love with all of you while you tour this hop!

We all know that I really don't like hearts... It has nothing really to do with Valentines, I just don't like heart shaped anything. So when doing this theme it is honestly a struggle... but, I think I nailed it and I hope you enjoy!

My card started with Irresistibly Floral Specialty DSP. This fun emboss resist paper can cater to whatever you like. I decided to sponge it using Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky inks. I just received the NEW Sale-A-Bration Glimmer Paper pack. This pack is amazing!!!! You get 4-6x6 sheets of 3 colors, Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron and the adorable color I used Sweet Sugarplum. I used the heart die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits to cut the heart out of the sponged paper, that way the glimmer paper would show through the heart! Cool right? Once this was all glued on with a fabulous ruched ribbon bow, I die cut the "love" sentiment out 3 times and adhered them all together before heat embossing them in Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. I added a few little sequins to give a final touch before attaching it to the Soft Sky Cardstock base.  

My fabulous little treat bag is a Glassine Bag. I simply folded it in half and adhered it to the back so that I had a smaller bag to work with. I made a cute little tag with my left over goodies that I used to make the card. I filled it with a "Fun Dip" Valentines for my special someone!

Thank you so, so much for stopping in today! I hope you are enjoying the hop! Next on the hop is Renee! I am sure she is going to dazzle you with her fabulous love themed designs! You can get to her by clicking the button below!

Paper Craft Crew 228 Color Challenge

Happy Wednesday! We are half way there folks! This week has been a bit busy with Troy being about 2 hours away on work until last night! Yesterday, I got to enjoy the Rural Ameritowne field trip with all of our 5th Grade students! It was a lot of fun!! However, it only left me a little bit of time to make up this cute card for today's Paper Craft Crew!

I always craft better in the morning, coffee is flowing, creativity is flowing, and the kids are at school! I must confess, I really haven't purchased any of the "Valentine" sets out of the Occasions Catalog! I have this weird aversion to hearts... maybe it is a phobia! 

This week with the Paper Craft Crew we have a EASY color challenge for you play along with. All you need to do is pick three of the four colors

When I started to make this card! I kept coming to the back to the Smoky Slate hearts piece of the A Little Foxy DSP! So I matted this up on the Flirty Flamingo Card Stock with a base of Real Red!! A stitched circle of the wood grain to coordinate with hearts seemed like the perfect touch! My cute little hearts were created using the You're So Sweet stamp set with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits! I added some Silver Metallic Thread just to give it a little pizzazz!

Thank You so much for stopping in! I have a full list of the products used at the bottom!

I can't wait to see what you create for this fun color challenge!!
