A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Sentimental Rose

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!  This month's kit is called Sentimental Rose and it is a stunner!!

This is how the kit is intended to be made...featuring 9 note cards , 3 of each design with coordinating envelopes.

Along with a decorated Acetate Box to hold the cards making it perfect for a lovely gift!! 

 But now onto our blog hop....which is to show Alternative Projects that can be made with items from this kit and maybe a few extra supplies you may have.

So taking the 'newsprint" card , I stamped the rose with Calypso Coral ink, leaves in Pear Pizzazz .  I then took an Aqua Painter and "filled" in the roses.  

Add some Calypso Coral Ribbon and a tag from the kit.

And a few Basic Rhinestones ...so pretty. 

And here I made a coordinating treat box!   Using the Acetate Box...cut it in half and assemble.

I then took another card front from the kit , stamped the roses and fitted it into the box.  Add a bag of yummy jelly candies.

Add a lovely stamped rose tag.

To make the tag...stamp the rose on the fold of one of the cards from the kit...

And cut on the fold.  Simple, yet pretty!

Add a greeting from the stamp set from the kit!

And you have two lovely...alternative ideas from the Sentimental Rose Paper Pumpkin.  The possibilities are endless!

So onto the rest of the hop....check out what all these talented demonstrators have created with this fabulous Paper Pumpkin!!

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Spring Is In The Air!

Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop for April!!   This month's theme is "Spring Is In The Air!"

So what is more spring-like than white daisies??!!

At Onstage this past weekend we ALL received a brand new stamp set called Daisy Lane.  This stamp set will be in the brand new Stampin' Up! catalog coming out in June.  And coming in the new catty will be a smaller Daisy Punch!!  Woohoo!!  Fun stuff!

And speaking of fun stuff...check out the centers of the daisies!!  They are our brand new Perennial Essence Floral Centers...love them!!  They will give floral cards some awesome texture and dimension!

The daisies are stamped in White Craft ink and the stems are stamped in Old Olive Ink.  I them took an Aqua Painter and added a little shading in the flowers and stems.  Finish with some Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon and add a few yellow sequins from the Gingham Gala Sequins...and you are all set for spring!!

Now it is time to see what Barb has created!

Onstage 2019 Fun!!

Well...we just got back from Stampin' Up!'s 2019 Onstage!!   And all I can say is WOW!   What an awesome day!!!  For the next couple of days...I will be showing you what we did, all sorts of fabulous products, new & old friends we met with, prizes & goodies and the one of the best parts...we got the New 2019-2020 Catalog!  It is stunning!!

But truly....my absolute favorite part of Onstage is spending the day with my team of Water City Stampers!!   We had 12 gals go this time!!!  The day was filled with laughing, sharing, swapping, learning and of course stamping!! 
 They truly fill my heart with joy!!

And as a thank you for coming to Onstage...I always like to give them a small gift.  This year, I had a blast making these!

Using a premade black and white frame....I stamped in Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Blueberry Bushel using the Swirly Bird Stamp Set.  The leaves are stamped in Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist.

The quote is one I found online....I LOVE quotes...they motivate me and remind me each day to live my life with gratitude!

Some got the Swirly Bird in blues...others got it in pinks... Flirty Flamingo, Grapefruit Grove, Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green leaves.  

LOVE this quote too!!!

I hope they will find these inspirational too!!

But just so you know...the Swirly Bird Stamp Set & the coordinating framelits Swirly Scribbles sadly will be RETIRING with this catalog!!!

Stamp some palm trees in Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green Ink and stamp the cabana chair in black.

Stamp the cabana chair again on our Lovely Lipstick Designer Series Paper from the 2019 - 2020 In Color Designer Series Paper, and do a little "paper piecing"   Cut out the umbrella and part of the chair and pop up with some Stampin Dimensionals!

Beach Happy!!

Here in Wisconsin...spring is taking its sweet time to get here...so we can only dream!  And the Beach Happy Stamp Set is the perfect way to do it!!

Layered in Crumb Cake...the Seaside Textured Folder is embossed on Coastal Cabana cardstock.  Tear a small layer of Crumb Cake CS for a sandy floor.  

Start stamping a yellow circle stamp (from Broadway Bound....although any circle will do)  for the sun in  Daffodil Delight, the palm tree trunk in Soft Suede and the palm fronds in Granny Apple Green.   Add a few "coconuts" which are Rhinestones colored with Bronze Stampin' Blends.  

Finish the inside of the card with a few more palm trees.....for a tropical feel!!   Makes me happy!!
