osat blog hop: new beginnings

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!

Boy, summer is just flying by. I kind of wish it would slow down. But, time marches on. And with another week, comes another Paper craft Crew challenge! We are stepping away from the card sketches this week and working with an inspiration photo.

Oh, I love the summer vibe of this photo. The bright colors are fantastic. So, obviously, I didn’t use any of that for my card. LOL! I really like the rule grouping of threes in this pic. Here’s how that played out in my card.

I sponged three columns of color on my stitched rectangle panel: So Saffron, Rococo Rose, and Blushing Bride. Then I stamped the diamond image from the Prized Peony set in those same colors. The peony images were stamped in Gray Granite and watercolored. Finished card size is 3.5″x5″
