osat blog hop: new beginnings

By

Welcome to August’s One Stamp At A Time blog hop! Our theme this month is new beginnings. This really covers a wide range of occasions! I think my projects would work for a lot of different ones. I have had this idea in my head for quite sometime. This theme seemed like a good time to try it out.

I love the Disney movie Up. Last year when I got the Sweet Silhouettes die set with the word “adventure” in it, I knew I would have to combine the two. The result is this fun card and mini Paper Pumpkin box. Perfect for anyone heading off on a new adventure!

I used the balloon punch to punch out a lot of balloons in various colors. Add in a cloud stencil and some white baker’s twine we have the bunch of balloons Carl used to lift his house. Of course, the sentiment for the card had to be “adventure is out there”.

The small banner is from the Smooth Sailing die set. I used the Make A Difference alphabet stamp set for the phrase.

On the box, I wrapped the strings around the edge of the box for a fun touch.

What do you think? Did my idea translate to my project? I like to think so. This one goes out to all of my Disney lovin’ friends. Adventure IS out there!

The OSAT Design Team has some amazing projects waiting for you. Make your way through the full blog hop. PLEASE CLICK THE BLUE BOX BELOW FOR A POP UP LIST OF THE DESIGN TEAM

Hello friends! Are you ready for a challenge? A Paper Craft Crew Challenge that is! This PCC has a vertical card sketch to jump start your creativity.

For my card, I did try to work with triangles, but I really wasn’t happy with anything I came up with. So, I decided to go for something else. I die cut some flowers from the Poppy Moments die set from Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo. Then I used Polka Dot stencil to create a fun background to show off the beautiful flowers. I love black and white polka dots!

I extended the strip across the full length of the card front. I felt it grounded the images more. and, I like the two rhinestone gems on the right. I think I need to make a bunch of these in different color combos!

Head over to the Paper Craft Crew blog to see all of the fabulous creations from the PCC Design Team. We’d love to have you play along!

Hello crafty friends. Come play along with this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. We are changing things up this week with a Tic Tac Toe challenge. Just pick a row and include those things in your creation.

I chose the center vertical row: Watercolor Background, Favorite Color and Anything but a Floral. But, my creation also fits the top horizontal row: Birthday Theme, Watercolor Background and Masculine. Double win!

I started with a card base from water color paper. Card size is 3.5″x5″. I did the watercolor background freehand using some of my favorite colors: Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, and Grapefruit Grove. For the cake, I did some no line watercoloring.

Head over to the Paper Craft Crew page and play along!

paper craft crew challenge #383

Hello crafty friends! Let’s kick off July with a fun sketch challenge from the Paper Craft Crew!

What a great sketch! So many possibilities for shapes in the corner. I like all of the detail in the corner, so I decided to stay pretty true to the sketch.

I started with a sheet of Canson Bristol Smooth paper. It is water friendly, so it was easy to add the watercolor wash swatches. I was kind of feeling a neon groove, so I used Granny Apple Green, Magenta madness and Bermuda Bay. Once it was fully dry, I added some spatters with my black marker. The sentiment, from the new Best Year stamp set, is embossed in white on black card stock and punched out with the new Postage punch from Stampin’ up!

A fun bright way to cheer for someone. I’d love to see your take on this sketch. Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and play along! You’ve got two weeks to join in for this challenge, so give it a try!

Hello friends! So glad to have you join me today. I’m joining the Paper Craft Crew Design Team to kick off this week’s challenge. This time a fun color combo.

I know the challenge says to use 3 of the 4 colors, but I went big and used them all! To compliment this color pallet, I chose a fun stamp set from The Stamp Market: Petal Perfection.

Aren’t those giant flowers gorgeous! I love how they fill the card front. And, they look great against the Navy striped background paper. The sentiment is also from The Stamp Market: Tons of Type stamp set.

Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew Blog and join in the fun. Create your own project with these colors and share it in the challenge link. We would love to have you play along – the more, the merrier!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

osat blog hop: new review

By

Hello, friends! It is time for this month’s One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! June is always a fun month as the NEW Stampin’ Up! catalog is released. That means loads of fun new stamp sets and other goodies to create with. It only seems right that this month’s OSAT theme is a New Review. I can’t wait to see what exciting new products the design team has chose to spotlight!

I chose to use a new stamp set called Tasteful Touches and a new die from the Forever Fern die set. This fun card and gift bag duo would brighten anyone’s day!

I just love the vintage/country look I was able to achieve. I stamped one of the background images from the set repeatedly to cover the tag and card base. stamping a few times before re-inking helped create depth and shading, although it is hard to see in the photos. I think it gives a vintage wallpaper look. Card base and tag were also splattered with gold shimmer paint.

The leaves were cut out of vellum. It gives a nice soft layer of texture without adding more color. The flower petals are colored with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends, with a little Petal Pink for highlights, center is Mango melody and Daffodil Delight.

This stamp set is going to be a lot of fun to work with! Now, go see what the rest of the design team has in store. And start making your wish list! PLEASE CLICK THE BLUE BOX FOR A POP UP LIST OF THE DESIGN TEAM.

new level of wonderful

Hello crafty friends! Do you ever feel like your creativity has run off no where to be found? I think we all have those moments. Playing along with a challenge is a fun way to get things flowing. Speaking of a challenge…

Paper Craft Crew Challenges has a new challenge out. This week it’s a fun sketch to work with.

Card sketches are a great way to jumpstart your creativity. You can create the sketch exactly as it is, or use it a starting point and let your creativity take over. Here is my take on this sketch.

I used the new Celebrate Sunflowers set. The flower is colored with Stampin’ Blends markers. This card also uses two of the new In Colors the three little enamel dots are Bumble Bee – a gorgeous yellow, and the scalloped frame is Misty Moonlight – a lovely blue. I really like this sentiment. It could be used for many occasions, but I think it is a great way to wish someone a Happy Birthday!

I hope you will join in and play along with this fun sketch. Then head over to the Paper Craft Crew blog and link your card to share with the crew.

I love a good challenge

Hello friends! I have some exciting news – I have joined the Paper Craft Crew Challenges Design Team!

Each week the Paper Craft Crew puts out a new crafty challenge: a card sketch, color combo, inspiration photo or tic tac toe, etc and invites paper crafters to join the challenge and create something fun! The Design Team kicks things off to give you all some added inspiration. I was honored the PCC Team coordinator, and my friend, Pam asked me to join. I love a good challenge and I look forward to the creativity ahead.

Today’s challenge is this fun inspiration photo:

After staring at the photo for awhile, I asked myself – What do I like about the picture? I like the white space with bold pops of color and the aqua, bright pink and orange colors. I also like the single flower focal point. Here is how I put those elements together.

I opted to put the flower focal point on the opposite side of the card because of the natural bend the stamped image had. I used an embossing folder to give some texture and depth to the background taken from the out of focus background in the inspiration photo. (sneak peek of the Old World Paper 3D folder and new In Color Magenta Madness from the NEW 2020-21 Stampin’ Up! catalog!)

Check out the Paper Craft Crew Challenges blog and join the fun! Create your own project and share it in the PCC#379 post. Challenges are open for one week. Who knows, you may even be a Top Pick!

I’m so glad you stopped by! Please join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
