OSAT Blog Hop - Sale A Brate The Occasions

Hello and Happy 2nd Thursday of the month a.k.a. OSAT Blog Hop Day! What a fabulous line up we have for you this year! You are going to LOVE all of the inspiration heading your way!

If you've already been hopping, you should have landed here from the amazing blog of Sara Levin and I would like to thank you for continuing on! Our theme of course is "Sale A Brate The Occasions" and is all about the Stampin' Up! Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs. They are both chocked full of fabulousness! There are so many awesome options to focus on but I decided to go with the SAB Beautiful Peacock Stamp Set. Sometimes it's nice to have a simple yet fun stamp set that gives you great options for an easy card. I really think Beautiful Peacock does just that!

I've seen the peacock stamped in so many color combinations and every one have been gorgeous but I seem to be drawn to the blues and greens. I used a combination of Dapper Denim, Pool Party, and Emerald Envy for mine on this card. I recently realized that I haven't used my Square Layering Framelits so I decided to use them here. I added a few layers with Whisper White, Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy for a little something extra. The Pinewood Plank embossed diagonal layer was the added in Emerald Envy in the background as well as some Glitter Enamel Dots and some splatters to finish this one off. Really a simple card that came together pretty quickly.

For my project, I made a small treat bag with a Whisper White A2 Envelope by sealing it and then slicing off a thin strip at the top to open it. I scored the bottom and both sides at 3/4" inch to make the pleats and glued the bottom triangles down with glue dots. I added a layer of the Pinewood Plank embossed Dapper Denim in the background. I decided to change up my colors on the peacock this time to Tempting Turquoise for the feathers and Emerald Envy for the body to show another option in the same color range.

SIP #132 Cake Walk with Stampin' Up! Cake Soiree

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start! I had a wonderful weekend visiting with my son and grandson, Beckett! I hadn't seen him in a few weeks and it was all smiles for me! My grandchildren have been the light of my life the last few years. I think the saying goes if I'd know grandchildren were this much fun I'd have had them first! lol

So since this is of course Tuesday, it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge and this one is a Cake Walk! Really, it is!

I am in love with the Sweet Soiree Suite from Stampin' Up! Everything about it is so pretty and there are so many elements and layers to it all. The last card I made with it was a little wild so I decided to go with something a little more subtle for the cake this time. What do you think?

I stamped my cake with Versamark Ink onto 110# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock and then heat embossed it in silver. The background cardstock is Stampin' Up! Soft Sky and was dry embossed with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder. Since I had left everything else pretty monochromatic with the gray, silver, and white I felt that the background needed some color and texture. The celebrate die cut is from the Celebrate You Thinlits dies that are free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-bration with Stampin' Up! I love to have thinlits to add a sentiment to an area that otherwise would have been hard to have one added. The textured background was ther perfect example of that. I used the "celebrate" die to cut the word out of Basic Gray Cardstock. The "you" was from the Amazing You Stamp Set which is also a SAB freebie for a $50 purchase. I decided added the "you" embossed in Soft Sky onto a small white rectangle would work perfectly within one of the small sections of planks. When I finished my panel, I backed it in scallop matt of Basic Gray cardstock cut with one of my favorite Mama Elephant dies. I mounted all of that on a 110# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Top Folding card base. To finish this one off I added some Lucy's Little Things Sea Spray Sequin mix. I knew I needed to add a bit more blue and that sequin mix was perfect for a blue, clear and irridescent mixture. I ended up added a small Whisper White and Silver Twine bow in the upper left hand corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings, Tina

Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop

Hello and Happy New Year! Do you know what is just as exciting as a New Year, it's a new Stampin' Up! Catalog or in this case Catalogs....because not only will the Occasions Catalog go live on January 3rd, but so will the Sale-a-bration catalog! Who doesn't love to get free stuff, right?? If you want to be inspired, you will want to check out this fabulous Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop!

If you've already been hopping, I thank you so much for continuing! If you are starting here, please make sure to stop at every blog along the way!

There are so many fabulous possibilities with this year's Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalog but I decided to feature the fabulous "Celebrate You" Thinlits dies! They are awesome and they are absolutely FREE with a $100 purchase from Stampin' Up! during Sale-a-bration! How fabulous is that?? I made two cards featuring them and both are masculine cards.

I was really inspired by the awesome masculine "True Gentlemen" DSP in the Occasions Catalog! The colors are so beautiful and the designs are awesome! These cards were super easy yet pack a great punch with those gorgeous die-cut words! The Celebrate You thinlits are really amazing! For the Dad Card on the left side, I first cut out "DAD" from the True Genetlemen DSP with a Large Letters Framelits Dies. I backed it with a mat of Very Vanilla Cardstock and used the cut out letters as a template to glue the center of the letters back into it with a small amount of Tombow Multipurpose Glue. I then cut the "Celebrate" word out with the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies in Night of Navy Cardstock. I used a small amount of Tombow Multipurpose Glue dotted on the back of the word to adhere it. I added the matted panel onto a Tranquil Tide A2 Cardbase. I'm totally loving Tranquil Tide now.. it is such an amazing color! I used a bit of tear tape to adhere two small angled strips of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon to the top left of the card to make a small banner. Linen Thread was then ran around the top of my card and tied it into a bow ending right at the top of the little Burlap Banner. I used a small drop of more of the liquid adhesive behind the bow and put a small block on it until it was set. For the second card I used another Tranquil Tide A2 card base and used two different panels of the True Gentlemen DSP to the front. I cut out all three of the words from the "Celebrate You" Thinlits Dies in both Very Vanilla Cardstock as well as Tranquil Tide Cardstock. I offset the layers on all three words to add a bit of interest to them. So simple but really a nice masculine card.

Thank you so very much for stopping by! Please make sure to check out all of the other inspiration on the hop! So many lovely creations and ideas await you!

SIP Challenge #131 Emboss It with SAB Beautiful Peacock

Hello and Happy New Year! This week instead of saying I hope your week is off to a good start I'll say I hope your year is off to a good start! I always love the start of a new year because it always gives you the opportunity to reset your life, your diet, your faith journey or whatever needs "resetting". It's a fresh slate and another chance to be who you want to be! I have a lot of goals for this year. Some of them are to create more, learn new tips and techniques and to blog more! I love that I'm on the Stamp, Ink, Paper design team because that gives me the opportunity to not only make a card each week but also to interact with some fabulous paper crafters on the Design Team! This week's theme at Stamp, Ink, Paper is all about embossing and there is a lot of inspiration for you to check out! As you'll see from the Graphic it can be any type of Embossing!

Well today I don't necessarily have a new tip or technique but I do have a new card with a brand new stamp set that will be available to customers on January 3rd! It's also a completely free stamp set available with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration! I also have a new favorite color... Lemon Lime Twist. I know.. I know.. I'm late to the party. So many people have been loving this color. If you're one of those people, I've just jumped on the band wagon with you. I'm loving it too!

As usual, I have to throw in something a little old! The embossing folder is a retired Stampin' Up! folder and I have no idea what It's called but I love the Florishes on it so I used it on my Lemon Lime Twist Background panel! Oh and here's the thing about Lemon Lime Twist.. I love it with Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy! I think they all work together soooo well! Since today is about embossing, I also heat embossed the sentiment. I stamped it in Versamark Ink and then Dapper Denim Ink and it stayed sticky enough to clear emboss! I love heat embossed sentiments!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Make it a wonderful & blessed year! Tina
