International Blog Highlights

Hello everyone,

Happy Monday!  How are you doing?  Did you do any crafting over the weekend?  I completed a few cards and happy to share them with you.

The card I want to share today is an entry for the Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights.  She has this wonderful monthly inspiration challenge that I like to participate in.  The theme this month is Thank you.  There are many things and people to be thankful for right now and I want to share the card I am sending to my team.  I am so very thankful for them.  

I focused on the Over the Moon stampset from the annual catalouge.  It is SO cute and has such nice sentiments for a thank you or pick me up.  Here is the stampset.

I used my Stampin' Blends to colour him in.  The colorus I used are Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, Pool Party and Bronze.  

This super cute cow is framed using the Stitched Shapes Dies and then layered using the Layering Ovals Dies.  

The greeting is also from the Over the Moon set and stamped on a scrap of Whisper White, the one you are always left with when you make the insides of your cards.  All are popped up on dimensionals.

That tiny little heart, is from my scrap pile.  I have a bunch of left over hearts when I cut several of the Stitched Be Mine Dies at valentines,  I knew those little hearts would come in handy.  :)

Part of the Blog Highlights is to vote for five of your favourites.  To vote for your favourite you can do that HERE.  

Thank you for joining me today.

Stay healthy and safe and enjoy some creative outlets.  

Happy stampin'

Fall Blogging Friends Blog Hop!

 Happy September 1st everyone!

It's blog hop time with my blogging friends.  This month we are sharing projects made using a picture for inspiration!  It is a beautiful fall picture.
 

Beautiful, right?  It makes me want to start my fall decorating!

I was honoured in July to have added 3 new members to my Stampers Inkspired team!  I wanted to make them some thank you gifts and so I used this picture to help.

So, for my blog hop today I have two projects I created for their thank you goodie bag.  

 To start, I purchased some of the new fun fall hand soaps at Bath and Body works - I am a sucker for the pumpkin scents!  lol  So, I just had to decorate them up with some tags.  They are a very similar tag to one you would put on a wine bottle for a hostess gift, just smaller.  These measure 3" x 7" and then scored on the long side at 3".  I then used my 2" circle punch to create the hole for the nozzle to fit through.  

  
One of my all time favourite things to do is punch art and fall is the perfect time!  I just love making pumpkins with my circle and oval punches or framelits.  I cut three of the same size and then sponge each of the edges.  My small circle pumpkin is made using Pumpkin Pie cards stock and ink and my larger pumpkin is made using Very Vanilla cardstock and Sahara Sand Ink.  The stems are a scrap of Old Olive.
 

The base of the tag is made using Early Espresso cardstock and the next layer is the Wood Textures DSP.  The greeting is from the Treehouse Adventure stampset, new in the annual catalogue!  I thought this greeting was fitting for a new demonstrator - what do you think?
 

My next 3D item to share is a hand stanitizer holder that I cased from one of my favourite demonstrators - Eric Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs.  She has a video that shares how she made them and you can find that here.
 

I altered mine slightly and opted out of the peekaboo hole in the front.  The jars are made with the Every Day Jar Framelits and the greeting from the is from the Jar of Love stampset.  The colours I used are Real Red and Old Olive and the 'stem' is a scrap of Early Espresso.  I finished them off with some Twine.
 

I placed some apple scented hand sanitizer inside!  I just LOVE how they turned out. 

The thank you bags were finished off with a pair of papersnips and a giant chocolate bar - can always use some chocolate.  Two of the bags have been delivered and I will be delivering one more next week!  So excited to share this adventure with them.

Now, be sure to hop on through our blog hop to see everyone's creation.  Next up is Rick - I always love to see what he creates.

Happy stampin'

Happy Birthday with Freshly Made Sketches

Hello everyone,

 

I have a fun and quick birthday card here for you today using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!  I love getting their e-mails and seeing what inspiration they have for us each time! 

 

 

 

Neat eh?  I am usually a pretty symmetrical girl - love everything in balance - A type or OCD not sure what that says about me, but I was up for the challenge of doing things a little off center.   

Here is my card...

 It was a quick card to put together.  I took my colour cues from the DSP, which although retired, is awesome for birthday cards.

I wanted the greeting and the ribbon steal the show.  I framed the greeting with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (they are never off my work table for long) and added a layer with my Layering Ovals Framelits.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to see all of the cards created with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.

 

Happy Stampin'
