osat blog hop: glad tidings

By

Hello, friends! It’s time for this month’s One Stamp at a Time blog hop. This month our theme is Glad Tidings. Time to get in the Christmas spirit! I really am not ready for cold weather, snow and short days, but I do like working on Christmas projects.

I love creating watercolor backgrounds. So, I decided to work in some beautiful holiday blue greens. I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Shaded Spruce.

The fun, and sometimes frustrating, thing with watercolor is you never get the same result twice. The colors turned out lighter on the card panel. But I love both results.

I cut the tree out of the watercolor panel and added sentiments from the Peace and Joy bundle. Love those die cut words!

This fun frame would make a great addition to any holiday decor! It would be fun to make one for each season!

I’m so glad you stopped by! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team creations. PLEASE CLICK THE BLUE BOX FOR A POP UP LIST OF THE DESIGN TEAM.

monogram decor

By

We had a great time at Stamp-n-Storage’s September Creative Class that was held during the annual Warehouse Sale. We made a fun monogrammed home decor piece and a coordinating card.

We started with a 11.5″x11.5″ piece of sanded wood that we painted with white chalk paint. Tore the edges of a piece of patterned paper and added it to the wood with Mod Podge. The leaves are wrapped with twine around an embroidery hoop which was hot glued to the base along with the painted monogram letter. (I made this for my daughter which is why it has an ‘L’)

We then took inspiration from elements of this project to create a card.

Inspiration is all around us! Where do you draw inspiration from?

osat blog hop: down on the farm

By

Thanks for stopping by! Today is the monthly One Stamp At A Time blog hop. Our theme is Down On The Farm. Be sure to take the full tour to see all of the great interpretations on this theme. I decided to take a farmhouse chic approach to my project.

I recently created a home decor piece and used it as inspiration for today’s projects. Here is my decor piece:

Here is my interpretation of this in card form:

I used the Basic Gray gingham print from the Neutrals 6″x6″ DSP stack. The sentiment is from Dandelion Wishes stamp set. The Sprigs are punched out of Granny Apple Green card stock and tied with Linen Thread. I also created a smaller decor piece.

This is a small monogramed 4″x4″ canvas. I used the same gingham dsp and sprig punch. I cut out three “h”s with the Hand Lettered Prose dies and layered them for depth.

Inspiration is all around. See what ideas you can find from decor pieces and let your creativity run!

grand opening

By

Last weekend was the Grand Opening of the new Stamp-n-Storage retail store!  It was quite a whirlwind, but a lot of fun.  We had a balloon arch, official ribbon cutting, a make & take, food and a LOT of people.  We are so excited for this new space!

 

   

I taught a Creative Class Friday and Saturday to help kick things off.  We had a lot of fun creating this 12×12 canvas home decor piece.

 

 

Thanks to the great gals who joined me for the classes!  Didn’t their projects turn out great!

Canvas Stamping

By

Sometimes I branch out from making cards and the rare scrapbook page. Every once in a while I get inspired to create a home decor piece.

Breathe Canvas - Center Stage Stamping

For this project, I started with a 4 inch square canvas.  I did a water color wash with Soft Sky ink across the canvas.  Next I stamped the branch and flowers from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.  It is difficult to get a full image on the canvas because of the edge of the wood under the canvas, but don’t worry.  Next I went over the stamping with my aqua painter to bleed out the image and get more of a water color look.  I stamped “breathe” in black memento ink and traced over it with a Black Journaling Pen to fill in the gaps on the canvas.  a few Rose Red die cut flowers with Crushed Curry baker’s twine knots.  A bit of Linen Thread wrapped around the canvas finishes it off.  All in all, this project came together really quick.  The most time was waiting for the initial water color wash to dry.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
