Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Hello my friends,

Happy April 1st! It is time for our next Blogging Friends Blog Hop!  

This month's theme is C.A.S.E. - copy and share everything - of one of our blogging friend.  As soon as I heard this was our theme, I knew exactly the card I was going to CASE.  It is the second card that Michelle Clarke did for our Red Theme in February.  You can see her card right here.  As soon as I saw it, I just knew I had to make one!  Here is my card...

Oh. MY. Gosh.  I just had to use my Barn Door Bundle to make a red barn door!  I hadn't seen it in red before.  And.  to be honest, I hadn't even used it yet - I know crazy!  

 Here is what I put behind the sliding door on the right.  So CUTE!

 I did use one of the wreaths from the bundle instead of the sign.  I just love square wreaths. 

I just love how it turned out!  Thank you Michelle, for the awesome card to CASE!

Please be sure to hop on through to see the other great cards created by my Blogging Friends.  

Happy stampin'

Happy New Year - Blog Hop

Happy New Year!  Welcome 2018!  

I am so excited to see what this year will bring.  Today, the first of the month, always brings a new blog hop with my Blogging Friends - I love the first of the month because I LOVE seeing what they create!  And, to help ring in the new year, we have a new look for our blog hop!  What do you think?

The theme this month is "Baby, It'scold Outside".  There couldn't be a better theme for us here in Ontario, Canada.  We have been having extreme cold weather alerts for most of the last week.  Like, I'm talking -38 celcius with the wind chill.  It has been a great time to get crafty inside, but who really needs a reason.

Here is a picture of what it looks like outside my front door..

 

So, the real reason you stopped by..here are the projects I made for the blog hop with this month's theme in mind. 

 
I created a card using the very popular Eclipse Technique as well as a matching gift bag with my Gift Bag Punch Board.  I love how cute they turned out to be!

 My card base is Night of Navy and the layter on top is a patterned DSP from the Coffee Break DSP pack from the Annual Catalogue.   I used the snowflakes from the Snowflake Sentiments stampset to stamp directly onto the patterned DSP usin the Night of Navy and Marina MIst Inks.  I also die cut some Whisper White Snowflakes from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits and added them to the front along with some glitter rhinestones for the center of the snowflakes. 

The gift bag was created using the same stamping and die cut snowflakes.  I used the Gift Bag Punch Board to create the bag.  I then used snowflake border die to create a bag topper.  I also created a little tag another great die from the Swirly Snowflake thinlits

 

I really love this bundle!  It was the first thing in the Holiday Catalogue that I knew I had to have!  I am so happy the products are being continued, but if you are a bargain shopper, you will want to get the bundle before January 3rd, the bundle price is not being carried over, just the products individually.  You can order the bundle to save 10% at my online store here.

Thanks for stopping by.  I would love to hear from you, go ahead and leave a comment.

Be sure to hop on through all of the blogs to see the great projects they created to share through the list at the bottom of the post or use the 'next' or 'previous' buttons below.

Happy Stampin'

All About Me Blog Hop!

Happy August 1st everyone,

Where has the summer gone?!  It is half over and I know as soon as the calendar hits August 1st, the night air is cooler and back to school is just around the corner.  There are definitely parts of that I enjoy and routine is one of them and whether my kids admit it or not they like it to!  Lol.

August 1st also means time for a new Blogging Friends Blog Hop and this month the theme is all about me!
  

All about me... I love ❤️ paper crafting! Scrap booking was my first love and now cards are my main source of creativity.  I will be celebrating 15 years of marriage with my handsome husband this month and I have 3 wonderful sons who I am so very proud of!  All of this keeps me so busy and oh so very happy.

But, now let me share with you what you have really stopped in for....this months project.

I used one of my favourite top bundles released in the Annual Catalogue, Coffee Cafe!  I just love this bundle it has lots of extras that can go with ordering coffee from your favourite 'to-go' restaurant.  Another tid-bit of information about me - I love buying bundles!  why not save 10% on your favourites things?!

The colours I used are Early Espresso, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Bust.  I just love this year's In-Colours and I love the way they look with some of my old favourites.  
 
 

I made 7 of these cards as my share of a swap I was participating in with some of my demo friends.  

I hope that these cards have inspired you and you have learned a little bit more about me!

Be sure to stop on through our Blog Hop using the link with the picture below or click on the list of names at the bottom of my post.

Happy Stampin'

Stampin' Celebration SC105

Hello there,

Thanks for stopping by.  Today, I have a card I created using the sketch challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!  I just love the cards these ladies create for us - they are SO talented.  Be sure to stop on over an have a look....if you weren't already there.  ;) 

Here is the sketch they had for us....

And, here is the card I created!  What do you think?
 

I wanted to use some fun bright colours for my card.  I thought this pattern from the Sweet Dreams DSP was perfect and it is just days past retirement.  I layered it with some Curshed Curry cardstock over a Whisper White card base. 

I thought this sketch was the  perfect opportunity to use my framelits to make a shape frame for my focal point - I just love how this turned out (it was my first time trying it).  To do this, you use two sizes of the framelits, one inside the other then cut them out using your Big Shot - all at the same time!  My stars were made in Bermuda Bay.   Beautiful next to the curry, it makes me think hot and tropical.  Then I added a small star using the smallest size from the framelit collection to fill in the middle.  

My greeting is from the stampset And Many More - this set is a must have!  It has every holiday in there - I am sure getting my money's worth on this one.

And then last but never least, I added some bakers twine.

Off to begin my father's day creations.

Happy Stampin'

Thanksgiving with Roger's TV

Hello everyone,

Thank you for stopping by!  

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada and I had the great honour of spending some time with my friends on the Roger's TV show Daytime show yesterday to celebrate!  

I had a great time doing some papercrafting and sharing the beautiful products Stampin'UP! has to offer for this very festive time of year.

I thought you might like to see the things we created and that I had on display.  

First, a picture of my whole display

 

This picture is the front of a wine bottle tag that we made live on the show!  Picture it on a beautiful wine bottle - I had left mine at home and forgot to bring it for the show!  ;)  Wouldn't it be nice to decorate a bottle of wine for your hostess?

 

  

This is a little bit of home decor.  I created this picture in a small frame that I found at the dollar store!  Great added touch for your festivities.  I used my Autumn Leave Bigz die to make lots of leaves for my display table, my Oval Framleits for the pumpkin and my Decorative Label Punch for my greeting.

 

This is a picture of treat holder made using the new Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die!  I just LOVE these!  I thought this on would be great for a place setting on your table.  I added a little DSP for some interest. 

This picture is a little turkey I created using the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die and some of punches and Framelits.  I CASED the idea from Debbie Henderson - be sure to stop by her blog and see all of the great things she has made using this Thinlits Die!

The next picture is an invitation that I had made.  We didn't have enough time to make it live on the show, but we did point it out for the views to see - I even made a special envelope using my Envelope Punch Board - it just makes it extra special!

More Curvy Keepsake boxes and tags using the Merry Everything Stampset and matching Punch!  With the bundle you save 15%!  This set will take you from Thanksgiving right through to Christmas!  LOVE it!

I made the boxes using all of the colours I had for the show - fun 'pumkins' in every colour!  I used my Gorgeous Grunge stampset to get the lines on them.  And added different accessories like twine, ribbon and those adorable mini clothes pins!

Well, I hope the projects I made will inkspire you to add some handmade touches to your Thanksgiving festivites!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tammy
