OSAT Where the Wild Things Grow Blog Hop

Good Morning! Well it is morning at least! It is so cold here! I woke up this morning and we have no water, not sure if it is our pipes or our well at this point. Needless to say, it will be an interesting day!

This month the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop team is hopping with the theme "Where The Wild Things Grow", I have paired the Sale A Bration Bundle Berry Blessings with the coordinating Sweet Strawberry Bundle for todays amazing projects! Let's take a look.

My card started with inspiration from a recent Sale A Bration swap I created. The strawberries are stamped in Poppy Parade ink and accented with Pear Pizzazz stamped stems. The Basic White layer is stamped with Pear Pizzazz greenery and then I used the Stitched With Whimsy dies to give a bit more visual texture. The blue plaid like paper reminds reminds me of Bath and Body Works, or at least the boxes that their orders get shipped in. I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for my sentiment that I have stamped in Pacific Point. The card is accented with a bit of Linen Thread and some clear Elegant Faceted Dots.

The mini album wasn't going to be for today, but once I realized how easy it was going to be, I quickly whipped it up to coordinate with my card. It has a pocket to hold memorabilia or pictures. You really can make it your own, so I chose to make some 3" x 3" cards that are matted with Pear Pizzazz for some cute little photos. I love how it looks like a little clutch! I actually stumbled on this tutorial on Pinterest and just had to try it. When I went back to get you guys the tutorial, it was gone! So I will try to make some measurements for you! 

I can't wait for you to see what the rest of my friends have made with this theme! You can click along the list below for a full tour! 

Third Thursdays A Sweet Sale Blog Hop

Good afternoon and happy Thursday! This week has just blurred right by. I guess what they say about time flying by when we are having fun is somewhat true. If you call doing laundry and all the other fun domestic duties of being a Stay At Home Mom fun. The good thing is that I can run the laundry and dishwasher while stamping.

Today I am back in full swing with the Third Thursday Blog Hop! We are hopping with the amazing Sale A Bration items from Stampin' Up!. I am absolutely in LOVE with the Flower & Fields DSP!! The best thing about this amazing flower patterned paper is that you can get it for FREE with a $50 order! Who doesn't love free goodies!?

The creations I am sharing today are from an upcoming One Sheet Wonder class featuring the Many Messages Bundle. These great card feature a Flirty Flamingo card base and accents of Pool Party and Petal Pink Card stock with accents of the Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon. I have stamped the Many Messages stamp with Flirty Flamingo ink and used the coordinating die to cut the sentiments. This bundle is amazing because all you have to do is stamp once and cut once to give yourself a variety of die cut sentiments! I chose to accent the cards I am sharing today with the Pearl Basic Jewels. I have actually made 10 cards total with just one sheet of this Designer Series Paper but that wasn't enough!! These cards needed a cute little holder to sit in! I even labeled it with our Playful Alphabet dies!

I am so excited for you to see what Kim has made for you today! You can get to her by click the next button below!

The Spot 102 Good Luck-Tags In Bloom

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Good Tuesday to you all! I hope that today finds you all well.  The kids are on spring break and we are still waiting on word about school closures. It is great that we live in a rural area of Colorado and at this point, our county and those surrounding it have had no confirmed cases. of COVID-19. My goal is to not blog about COVID-19 but to keep coming to you with card and paper crafting ideas, and will be introducing the class to go option as well!

This week with The Spot, we are designing with a theme! Since today is St Patrick's day we decided to create with a "Good Luck" Theme. You can get all of the details of the challenge above. I have finally inked up the Tags In Bloom and used my Scripty Embossing Folder.

I have to tell you that the stress level in my house has been high, between Josh's emergency appendectomy, spring break and the total state of our country... I am just stressed!!! It made my card making skills a bit absent to say the least! 

This card started with the flower like frame stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White card stock. I have used Blackberry Bliss and Soft Sea Foam blends to color this beauty. I then tested my fussy cutting skills and fussy cut it out. Next, I stamped the stitch like stamp with Soft Sea Foam ink. The Blackberry Bliss sentiment was perfect for the soft yet rich card. I was so excited to use the Label Me Lovely Punch with this! This is nicely layered over a strip of Champagne Foil and Whisper White card stock that has been embossed with the Scripty Embossing Folder. I sponged a bit of Soft Sea Foam. A double bow of the Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and a few Champagne Rhinestone and this bad boy was done!

I can't wait to see you participate with this weeks challenge! 

Hope you have a fabulous week!

3rd Thursday Sale A Bration 2nd Release Blog Hop

Who knew that a girl could do a blog post at 2 in the afternoon?! I mean, this makes getting up early for the others seem crazy! I could literally blog and have a margarita at the same time (my spelling and grammar would not be on point) but it could happen!

Today I am joining in on the 3rd Thursdays Blog Hop! It is exciting new team that I was invited onto a while ago and with everything going on with Josh got shoved to the back burner! So today is my debut!

I can't tell you how amazing the Painted Seasons Bundle is! It is a DistInktive stamp set that is also cling mount! The great thing about this stamp set is that it is bundled with coordinating DSP! Even better is that the there will be coordinating dies available on March 1st for purchase!!!

This great card has a base of Pear Pizzazz card stock with a mat of Early Espresso. Today I decided to use the Pool Party chevron type pattern DSP to layer onto the Early Espresso. I have used the backside of a Colored Doily to layer behind my Pear Pizzazz succulents with Early Espresso sprigs. My stitched square has a sentiment also from the 2nd release of Sale A Bration! It is from the All Adorned Photopolymer stamp set. This card was finished with a Linen Thread bow and few Frosted Epoxy Droplets!

Thank You so much for stopping by today!! I can't wait to for you to see what else my friends have created for you on the hop today! Next on the hop is my friend Anne Hile, I can't wait for you to see her fabulous creations!

Hello Beautiful Succulents

Good Saturday! There is nothing like waking up with a clear and concise plan for your day! The kids are going to hate me, but what kind of mother am I if they don't scream "I Hate You!" at least once this weekend! Why would they scream that?? It is a cleaning weekend, I am tired of walking into the play room to find wrappers of snacks passed and trash! So that room will be the boys job and Taryn's room looks like a tornado went off, and you know what is funny??? She can't find her gray boots! I wonder why?!

It isn't very often I blog to blog... but today's card is definitely worth blogging. Our second release for Sale A Bration is right around the corner (February15th)!! The Painted Seasons Bundle should be at the TOP of that list! This item is FREE with $100 Purchase. Although with today's card I am only featuring the stamp set!

The Global Design Project has the perfect theme challenge this week for this card with Down The Garden Path. Lets take a look at this card!

You know that I drooled when I saw the succulents in this stamp set! This is a DistInktive stamp and the detail in all of the stamps is amazing! This card has a nice base of Thick Whisper White card stock. The Rectangle Stitched Dies are never far from my reach anymore and I used them for my mat of Mint Macaron. The Whisper White layer has been stamped to make my own DSP of sorts with the succulent stamp using Soft Sea Foam ink. Once I got my desired pattern this layer was also cut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I created a bit of the pattern on my sentiment piece before stamping the Hello Beautiful with Soft Suede ink from the Butterfly Gala stamp set. The cool thing about the Painted Seasons Stamp Set is that they have coordinating dies available to purchase! I have used them to cut the Mint Macaron Leaves and Soft Sea Foam Succulent. A nice accent of Champagne Foil, Clear Epoxy Droplets and a Linen Thread Bow and this beauty was done!

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait for you to get your hands on this!
