OSAT March Happily Ever Efter Blog Hop

The One Stamp at A Time Blog hop is back on this fabulous second Thursday of the month! I can't wait to show you what our amazing team for this fun take on the "Happily Every After" Theme!!

I seriously spent almost 12 hours in my craft room yesterday... trying to come up with my designs. I think it is time to just spend the day cleaning the craft room. 

 I made this fun set using the Sweet Soiree DSP! The card is an amazing double gate fold. I used the Sweet Soiree embellishment kit to create the embellishments on the belly band with the lovely Metallic Trim Berry Burst Ribbon. There is absolutely NO STAMPS on this card. Fun and easy! 

My cute little box was made using the Ready Shreddy silver shredded paper inside of it. I wrapped a nice strip of the Sweet Soiree DSP and added a nice little flower embellishment.

What should have been quick, easy and painless! Thank You so much for stopping by. Make sure you tour the hop all the way through! Until the next time! Have a good day!

Scrapbook Sunday Color Theme Blog Hop

Welcome to my first ever Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop!!! Aren't you excited?! I know that I am! We are hopping with the colors Coral, Green and Black. I mean what can be more exciting than a blog hop FULL of not only scrapbook page ideas but scrapbook page ideas using all Stampin' Up! Products!

  

We spent yesterday preparing for a nasty storm heading our way today. We cleaned the horses stalls as we watched one of them practically beg to come in! I am sure she will be happy later as the weather takes a turn for the worst. 

So truth be told, when I have had to do scrapbook pages in the past, they have literally made me break out in hives and itch. They just have given me anxiety. I think in the past it is because it has always for my submissions for display stamper at OnStage events. I am suddenly taking a liking to coming up with these pages and I hope that you enjoy what I have come up with for this months hop, lets take a look!

So lets talk, we obviously know that my 12 x 12 sheet of DSP is from the Sweet Soiree DSP, as well as the Old Olive with Silver that matte's my Basic Black and White stripe from the Petal Passion DSP. Yes, that is me in the picture! Feeding ducks as a 3 year old and a community lake in eastern San Diego county. You know what is great? The Petal Garden Memories & More Card Pack was perfect with the Sweet Soiree DSP! I cut a few banners using the Petal Garden DSP and Card Pack to lay behind my photo. I matted my photo using a Basic Black Card Stock and a card from the Petal Garden Card Pack. My fun flowers were fussy cut with Paper Snips from the Sweet Soiree DSP. The 1/8" Sheer Ribbon in Calypso Coral and Whisper White was perfect to tie the tassels from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit. I took the White Perfect Accents and colored them using my Stampin' Blends.

I am so glad you stopped by today! I can't wait to show you what the oh so amazing, and my friend Charlet Mallett! You can get to her by clicking the next link below!

Stamping Sunday SaleABration Favorite Blog Hop

WOW!!! Who has two thumbs and is posting her second Sunday in a row?? This girl!!! I was totally surprised when the amazing Sara Levin invited to be a guest designer for the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop and what better to hop with than our  Sale-A-Bration favorites.

If this is your first time on my blog, Welcome! I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the United States. My Family and I live on the eastern edge of Colorado. We have 2 horses, a dog and a rabbit! Did I mention I have 3 kids? It really is never a dull moment with 2 boys and a girl...

Like I said above, the theme for this months hop is Sale-A-Bration favorites!! I have really whipped up some cuties for you. Lets get to my projects!

I really had to branch out a bit today... I wanted to use product for this hop that I hadn't quite used yet. I mean we all know that those Celebrate You thinlits are hard to put down but I hadn't used the Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card Pack or DSP. I also have used the Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit but in an entirely different way!

The card starts with base of Calypso Coral with a coordinating matte of Rich Razzleberry. The Old Olive with Silver Foil Stripe from the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper was unmistakably the right way to go once the card started coming together. The Celebrate is die cut using the Celebrate You thinlits out of the Sweet Soiree DSP. I adhered it to a card from the Sweet Soiree Memories and More Card Pack. I embellished this a bit with some of the washi tape in the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit. When I was putting this together I decided to add a Calypso Coral matte just to have a bit of contrast. The floral die cuts in the embellishment kit are exquisite! I wasn't quite sure which one to use but decided to use the ones above and added a few of the vellum die cuts too. A few Clear Glitter dots if you look closely just set this card off!

I am so excited that the Mini Pizza Boxes from the Holiday Catalog are carrying over! These little guys have a bit of room in them. I must admit that mine is empty. This way I can fill it with whatever I want.  To coordinate with the card I matted the Rich Razzleberry Card stock onto the box. It has the same DSP as the card so they matched. The Whisper White die cut tag is from the Cake Soiree Bundle. I decided to add few Silver Metallic Thread loops behind the flowers from the Sweet Soiree embellishment kit. Again I have accented these flowers with the vellum and foil leaves as well. My cute little sentiment is from the Party Pandas set. I used the Modern Label Punch to cut it out before adhering it to the rose like flower on the left. The Whisper White Silver Metallic edge ribbon was a nice touch to this little box...

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I was more than thrilled to be here today!! Now for trip down under to see what Cheryll Miller has for us!

TGIF 141 Best Friends Color Challenge

Friday! Friday! Friday is normally my favorite day! Our winter break is winding down (Thank Goodness!) and the kids have been able to play outside the last few days! So, TGIF!

I am back for my first post of the year with TGIF Challenges and we have a fabulous colors for you to play along with today!

Sale A Bration is in full swing and I couldn't wait to ink up the Happy Wishes stamp set! If you "aven't noticed the Petal Passion Memories and More card pack has also gotten a lot of attention in my craft room! It is so versatile because of the black and white patterns, however that is not how I used it for this card... Let me get you the details!

Okay, I didn't use ANY of the cards from the Petal Passion pack. I did use the frame. I ended up cutting it up with my Paper Snips and using it as stencil! So when sponging my Island Indigo, Night of Navy and Fresh Fig I placed down on the bottom right corner and continued to sponge the rest of my 3.75" x 5" piece of Whisper White. I wasn't sure where to go from there but knew it needed balance. So I took the opposite corner piece in the frame and trimmed it up to go in the top left corner. This couldn't just be left as is, so I inked it up with Versamark and heat embossed it with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder not once but twice! I adhered it by spreading Liquid Multipurpose Glue with a tiny paint brush. The light blue velvet scallop trim is from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit. This was adhered using Tear N Tape so that it would lay nice and flat! Once I had these elements done, I sponged with a finger dauber all three colors in an ombre like fashion onto the "Best" from the Happy Wishes stamp set which can be earned for free by placing a $100 order during Sale A Bration! I die cut this with the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. To finish this I added the "friends" using Versamark and the heat embossed Silver Stampin' Emboss powder. I wrapped the Silver Bakers Twine around the center of the card and attached the oval with 4 Stampin' Dimensionals. I made a quick hole to tie the tassels from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment with a cute little twine bow! A few Glitter enamel dots and this beauty was done!

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what you make with this awesome color challenge!!!
