Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Happy new year my Stampin' friends!

I hope you were all able to enjoy a wonderful holiday season filled with love, family, friends and good cheer.  I think 2020 is going to be an amazing year and I am so excited to get started!

What better way to start the new year than to have a hop around with my blogging friends.  We have a wonderful theme - Can you Feel the Love tonight!  There are some super cute love products in the new mini catalogue that also goes live today, but I have chosen to focus on some of my favourtie love products in the annual catalouge.  Can you guess which ones?

And here is the card I made.  I just love how it turned out.

I couldn't resist using this super ultra cute pick-up truck and colouring him Real Red with my Stampin' Blends.  I used Basic Grey for the bumper, hub caps, door handle and the running board (the place to put your foot to get in).  I used Basic Black to colour the tires and a tiny bit of Daffodil Delight for the headlight.  Don't forget to stamp it in Memento Ink so your colours don't bleed.  I also stamped my greeting in Memento which came from the Meant to Be Stampset.

I used only one die from the Stitched Be Mine set and that is the cloud of hearts.  I love it!  You can get all of these tiny, but different sized hearts, and wanted to use them to float out of the back to the truck.  I have some Real Red and some Melon Mambo hearts.  I cut the bottoms off of a few of the large ones to give the impression of them being in the back of the truck.  I attached them with glue dots to make quick work of getting them onto my card front.

I didn't wanted to waste the heart cloud outline and so cut out three more in Real Red to create the extra layer on the Whisper White to add interest.  In the end only some of the heart outlines peek out, which I like. 

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Be sure to hop on through and see all of the wonderful creations that were made using the love theme we have for you!

Happy Stampin'

Ride with Me to Seize the Birthday!

HI there!

Thank you for joining me on this beautiful fall day!  Today is another fabulous day with lots of beautiful colours in the trees.  This is a busy week for me as I am preparing for a very large Christmas card class.  Stay tuned for some pictures later this week!

"For the Kids"Just remember to make it a Birthday theme! 

But first, let's pay along with the birthday challenge over at Seize the Birthday!  It's a kids Birthday theme.  Super fun!

I have been loving the Ride with Me Bundle, most particularly, the stampset.  I just LOVE the old style pick-up truck and all of the little accessories that you can'put' inside the back.  

On this birthday card, I used the balloons - perfect for a kids birthday.  I used bright colours to colour them in.

Although I love using my blends to colour, I decided to use them just to highlight some accents on the truck.  I stamped the truck in Daffodil Delight onto Daffodil Delight cardstock, then I used my blends to accent in a few places. Have you tried using bends on coloured cardstock?  It is a little different in that the colour really soaks in, but I love the subtle effect.  

Be sure to stop on over to Seize the Birthday to see all of the wonderful creations using this theme!

Ride with Me to a Colour Challenge!

Hey there!  So glad you could stop buy today!  

I am going to share a card I made with one of my all time favourite bundles that I used to join the challenge fun over at SUO Challenges.

SUOC 234: Coloring

Its a colouring challenge!  Whop Whop!  The Ride with me Bundle is perfect for a colouring challenge.

Whether you need a birthday card, a Thanksgiving card or a Christmas card, this stampset and bundle have you covered.

The past weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada and so of course, I used the cute little pumpkins with a Balmy Blue pickup truck for a Thanksgiving card for my sister-in-law - she was hosting the big turkey dinner this year.  I just love how it turned out!  (She really liked it too. )  :)

My first choice in colouring tools are always my Stampin' Blends.  They make me look like a true artist.  You just can't go wrong.  For this card, I used Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Old Olive (on the tiny leaves).  I framed the harvest pickup truck by cutting it out with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

My card layers are Balmy Blue Card base, a layer of Whisper White and then a layer of Balmy Blue DSP.  The Pickup Truck is on Whisper White and the frame around it is Pumpkin Pie.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Pawfect Birthday Card!

Hello there,

It has been a while since I have posted, so glad you could join me!  I am getting back into the swing of things and getting fall off to a great start.  I have my three boys ready to head back to school on Tuesday and here in southern Ontario, the leave are just starting to turn those beautiful fall colours.  My favourite!

To help me get back into full swing, I decided to play along with The Paper Players for their sketch challenge this week.  Here it is...

 

I LOVE this!  I decided to pull out some of my favourites to play along.  I used the Dog Builder Punch and Coordinating stampset Happy Tails to create this super cute dog.  With three boys, I can always use a card with a dog on it.  lol

I chose my colours after I decided what DSP to use.  The DSP is an oldy but goodie as they say, one I have been saving (hoarding) and I love it!  My cardbase is Early Espresso, then next layer is Pool Party.

 I stamped my puppy using Early Expresso onto Early Espresso cardstock.  I popped him up using dimensionals and added him to a 2" circle that was cut using my circle punch.

The greeting is from the Ride with Me stampset.  I finished it all off with a bow.  

Happy Stampin'
