Creative Inking Blog Hop - Autumn Vibes!

Hello Stampers!!

Thank you for joining our Creative Inking Blog Hop...the theme is Autumn Vibes!   And I love this theme ...fall is one of the best 'stamping' seasons.   I enjoy all the rich colors and beautiful images.   But best of all I love all the treats bags and boxes that are so important at this time of year when we all are going back to school, getting ready for Halloween or showing gratitude during this lovely season!

So here is what I made...the little Red Truck from the Ride With Me Bundle!!

And of course he needs to be hauling pumpkins at this time of year...so cute!!   The Pumpkin comes from our Harvest Hellos Bundle from the Holiday Catalog.  

Add a bit of sweet...how about a yummy Lindor Truffle.   That's a big load!!  LOL!

I made these for all the attendees at my recent Bingo event.  46 of them!!!

And they can haul a Christmas Tree too!!

Because the Christmas season will be here before we know it!   The tree is from the Perfectly Plaid Bundle.  

Whichever season you choose....your recipient will love it!!

Now let's see what Barb has created this month....

or if you missed it...check out what Linda has made!

until next time.....Happy Hopping!!

Greek Isles Bog Hop.....Anything Goes!!

Welcome to the final Greek Isles Blog Hop!!   This is the last hop for the Stampin' Up! Incentive Achievers for the past year.  But don't worry...the blog hop will continue...with the Stampin' Up! Hawaiian Incentive Trip Achievers!!   And I am blessed to be one of them!!

 The theme for this month is Anything Goes!!   So fall has definitely arrived in Wisconsin....so here is my card inspired by our lovely fall season!

Here is a pretty trifold card I recently made for my Team last month. 

Using the Come To Gather Suite of products....I was able to make a beautifully coordinated card...quick and easy!!

Held together by a belly band....I love how well the Come To Gather Designer Paper blends together!

And here is it opened.....measurements are as follows....

I cut a piece of cardstock 12" x 5 1/2".   I used a scoreboard to score at 4 1/4", 7 1/4" and 10 1/4".  I folded the first score(4 1/4") into a valley fold using a bone folder to burnish.  Then I folded the second score (7 1/4") into a mountain fold and again burnished with a bone fold  The last score line (10 1/4") was made into a valley fold and burnished.

 I chose 3 different design papers and cut them into pieces 5 1/4" x 4", 5 1/4" x 2 3/4" and 5 1/4" x 1 1/4"

Last of all I cut a piece of cardstock 1" x 10", scored it at 4 1/4" and at 8 5/8", wrapped it around the card and adhere.   Slip this over your card and you're done...just add some beautiful die cut leaves & a greeting ...all from the Come To Gather Suite .  Finish with a touch of some Noble Peacock Rhinestones and you are done!!!  

And now onto the rest of the hop....you are at Renee Kohnke Water City Stamping.   Happy Hopping!!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Gift of Fall

                               
Hi Everyone!! 
Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop ....A Gift For Fall!  This is a lovely pumpkin ...just perfect for the upcoming fall season!!   Here are all the wonderful products in this kit!

But then...for the first time...Stampin'Up! offered an add- on to the gift giving kit....additional cards with envelopes!  Which is equally  cute and versatile!!

So since this is a Blog Hop about alternative projects....here are a couple of things I made!

Taking the yellow flap from one of the envelopes and use it for some pretty DSP.  Add some of the wonderful elements from the original kit.

I absolutely love the colors and textures of these elements.  The purple leaves were a tan color...so I sponged some Merry Merlot to give it a fallish feeling.  Layer with merry Merlot and Crumb Cake and you have a lovely full size card.

Don't forget the inside!! So now onto a gift bag....

We have a very large family and meet for everyone's Birthday....so many times our gift of choice...especially for the guys we give the gift of money and a bag of yummy candy!   So this bag is just perfect for that type of gift.  And instead of just your typical card and envelope...here is a card ON the bag...just a little something different!

Using a post card size piece of Merry Merlot..and the Classic Label punch...cut a slot in the top of the post card.  Add to the bag front with dimensionals on each corner.  Now you can add a darling note card made from one of the add on cards...I LOVE this wreath!!  The colors are stunning!

Next I took on of the envelopes with that pretty colored spring....cut the top off and folded it to make a gift card or money holder.  Covered nicely by the wreath note card.  

Just pull the card from the slot and your recipient will see your personal greetings.  

Cute and multi purpose!

I want that gift!!  (wink, wink!!)

And of course there is candy in the bag!!   This is just perfect for all the many Autumn Birthdays coming up!!

So that is it from me...time to check out all the other fabulous projects!!!

And finally don't forget to sign up for September Paper Pumpkin.....looks like some spooky fun!!

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Holiday Sneak Peek!

Hi Everyone!!

Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop!!   This month's theme is a Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek!!

It is my favorite time of year...when the Holiday Catalog finally arrives!  

One of my "must haves" when I first got the catalog was the Harvest Hellos Bundle!  With this darling set ...you can stamp & punch apples, pumpkins, and jack'o lanterns with ease!

I just made a sweet and simple apple card...perfect for any occasion!   The apple was punched from our new Toile Tidings Designer Paper.  Accented with our new Come To Gather Ribbon Combo Pack. 

                                            

A Holiday Rhinestone adds a finishing touch.

And to coordinate with this cute card....how about a treat box made from the Perfect Parcels Dies.

This time the apple is stamped and punched from Harvest Hellos...tied with a bit of Linen Twine.

A belly band keeps the box closed...but pop it open to get to the treats!!  Love the checks from the Toile Tidings DSP!!

So here we have several products from several different suites in the New Holiday Catalog....but they all coordinate!!   I love that Stampin' Up! makes it easy for us to create such lovely projects with such ease!!

Now it is time to see what Kelly has created.....

or hop back to Diane's blog to see what she has to share today!

until next time.......

The New Holiday Catalog is starts on September 4th ...just in time for all your upcoming Holiday needs!!

Notice the gold foil accents in the Plaid DSP!!!  You will love it!!! This card is super sweet and super simple!!  Perfect when you have to make multiple cards!!

Greek Isles Blog Hop - Anything New!

Welcome to the Greek Isles Trip Achievers Blog Hop!   We are just back from the Greek Isle Cruise and it was absolutely wonderful!!  The theme for our last Greek Isle Blog Hop is Anything New!   So I have chosen to highlight the card I did for our Cruise swap...From the Silhouette Scenes Bundle.

Summer

Using a background of Blueberry Bushel Cardstock....add the swirly background designer paper from See a Silhouette Designer Series paper.  It makes for a perfect nighttime sky.  Add a moon from our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and the tree branch cut form Basic Black cardstock...

Perfect for the nighttime summer evening silhouette!!

But then I continued on and made the same type of scene for Autumn.

Autumn

Seaside Spray cardstock makes for a beautiful autumn sky.   Add the branch cut from Crumb Cake and sponged with "fallish" colors...Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie.

Such a lovely autumn day....   now onto the next season...winter.

Winter

Starting with a Smokey Slate Cardstock background....add a few dots with the White Chalk Marker for snowflakes.  Cut the branch out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

Add a couple of redbirds from the Well Written Dies.  And you have a perfect winter scene.

Spring

And finally let's finish the series off with a lovely springtime scene.  Pool Party is the background cardstock  and the tree branch is cut from Soft Seafoam sponged with a bit of Pear Pizzazz.  A So Saffron Sun and the silhouette is stamped in Balmy Blue.   

All of the seasonal Silhouette Scenes make for a lovely card collection.

Now onto the rest of the Blog Hop.....you are here at Renee Kohnke / Water City Stamping.   Time to check out all the other awesome projects....Happy Hopping!!
