Inspiration everywhere!!

We can get inspiration from most anywhere. I see a lot of color combinations that I like on people's clothing. I will write them down, and then use them when creating. One Sunday, I liked the pattern of the dress one of my friends was wearing, and came home and created this card. I liked it so much, I used it for a swap last month. I used the new Floral Essence stamps, white embossing powder, and the Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color right on top of the set embossing powder.

Love the way the flowers pop on the black cardstock. I had a couple of people ask if I blew the picture up and used it for the background, haha! Stampin' Up! products are the best!

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...Happy Craftin'!

ICS Blog Hop: Terracotta Tile 2019-2021 In Color

Welcome to the Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop! Our June hop introduces the 2019-2021 In Colors. I received a pack of the Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper (DSP) at the April OnStage, and decided to use the 2 pieces that were primarily Terracotta Tile to make a gift bag. This is a bag I saw made on a Ronda Wade's Facebook live quite awhile ago, and am finally getting around to making.

Since our DSP is 2 sided, the inside of the bag is pretty too!!

One of the other things I love about this bag, is that the card is made with the leftover DSP, so it matches exactly and doesn't detract from the bag. The card is a breeze to make, and hangs right on the front of the bag, and can easily be removed! 

Hope you like the bag  and card as much as I do. It is a great way to use up all the DSP you have been hoarding!! And I used the final scrap of the DSP as the layer across the front of the card, and just added the bird and a sentiment. Two 12 x 12 pieces of DSP and no waste!!

Don't leave just yet, click on the next button, and hop on over to Anastasia's blog and see what new In Color she has chosen to share with you! Feel free to leave comments along the hop, when you see something you like. We all can use a little love and kindess in our day!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Until next time...Happy Craftin'!

IDEAS Blog Hop: Sailing Home

Welcome to the IDEAS Blog Hop. We are a group of international demonstrators who create a monthly bundle of tutorials for our customers and team members. The May theme is "New Favorites." I chose to use the Come Sail Away Suite. We actually got to play with it at the April OnStage event, and do a Make & Take with it to bring home. It reminds me of my home state of Maine, and my dad. My dad and I shared a love of lighthouses. I lost him just over 2 years ago, and lighthouses will always makes me think of him.

This suite has all things nautical and it coordinates extremely well with High Tide. The lighthouse from High Tide can even be cut out with the die from Smooth Sailing dies...bonus!!!! 

This bundle features multiple tutorials from 10 demonstrators. Most tutorials features at least one card and one project, some include multiples. Would you like a copy of the instructions of all the projects you will see in the hop, to use for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact me, or your participating demonstrator, to find out how to purchase the tutorial bundle or even better, get it for FREE!

Once you have received the tutorials, please remember not to share or distribute the printed or electronic copies of these bundles. We have worked hard to provide these exclusive projects for your use. If you know someone that would like to purchase the bundle, please direct them to me, or their participating demonstrator, to obtain their copy. Thanks for your support.

Leave me a comment before you hop on over to the lovely MaryKate's blog to see what her new favorite is and what creations she has chosen to share with you.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Until next time...Happy Craftin'!

Everything is Rosy Gable Box!

I love the Everything is Rosy Product Medley! I had so much fun creating with the set. I will post the cards at a later time. Today I want to show you the cute little box that I decorated for the class attendees. I mixed the Rose Gold Shimmer Paint with alcohol and spritzed a white gable box with the mixture. It sure turned out pretty! 

I added some of the beautiful Rose Gold and Melon Mambo Designer Series Paper for a pop of darker color. I used a dauber and inked directly onto the largest flower stamp. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out with the coordinating die cut. I layered some leaves cut out of the Rose Gold foil paper on top of one of the Rose Gold outlined die cuts, added the flower and a small greeting from the Itty Bitty Greeting Stamp Set. I added some of the Mambo ribbon, and added some of our Copper Ribbon (closest I could come to Rose Gold)...and done!!

Hope you like it!! 

If you don't have some of these Gable boxes on hand...get 'em before they are gone. They didn't make it to the new catalog. They are so great to have on hand for small gifts or goodies! And you can decorate them in any color or style you would like!

Also, the Everything is Rosy Product Medley is only available until 5/31, or while supplies last. Get it too!!

Until next time...Happy Craftin'!

Throwback Thursday!

Here is a card saved to my computer back in 2015. I think the set was Cheerful Critter, but don't quote me on that. I love going back and looking at older cards.  I, also, like to see if I can recreate them with current products...so, I will have to try to do that with this one. 

Keep watching to see if you can spot the remake in the next few weeks! 

Until next time...Happy Craftin'!
