OSAT Blog Hop Where The Wild Things Grow February 2021

Hello and Welcome to The One Stamp At A Time Facebook Group's February 2021 Blog Hop!  We are certainly excited to have you today.  If you have already been hopping, thank you so much for continuing on.  If you have started with my blog, please make sure you hop all the way through for some amazing inspiration!  This month's theme is Where The Wild Things Grow and is perfect for the current Stampin' Up! products that showcase flowers, blooms, cacti, or greenery.  There are certainly a lot of fun stamp sets to chose from but I went straight to the Flowering Cactus Product Medley.  I just received mine last week and can't seem to get enough of it!

I made a fun fold card that folds up to fit perfectly in an A2 envelope but spreads out beautifully for display.  I also created a Note Pad Holder with a piece of Magnetic Vent Cover on the back that will stick to my refrigerator.  I have a lot of black and white in my kitchen so why not throw a little color into the mix, right?

For this cute fun fold card, I started with a Highland Heather 11" x 4 1/4" half sheet of card stock and scored the 11" side at 2-1/4", 3-5/8", 7-3/8", and 8 3/4".  Burnish all of the score lines so that from each side you have a valley fold and mountain fold so the front panel stands out.  The outer most panels are matted with 2-1/8" x 4-1/8" Mossy Meadow Cardstock and then DSP over that measuring 2" x 4".  The middle panels are matted with 1-1/4" x 4-1/8" Mossy Meadow Cardstock and 1-1/8" x 4" DSP.  The Middle Panel for both the front and back are matted with 3-5/8" x 4-1/8" Mossy Meadow and the focal panel of Basic White measuring 3-1/2" x 4".  Prior to adhering the focal panel, I stamped the heart shaped cactus in Mint Macaron with some Mossy Meadow sponged on the upper and left side of the image prior to stamping.  I stamped the cactus flowers in Highland Heather onto a scrap of Basic White and used the coordinating dies to cut it out and then popped it up with Dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped in the upper right with Mossy Meadow Ink.  I ran some Linen Thread around the matted layer three times and tied it in a bow on the lower left side prior to adhering it with Multipurpose Adhesive onto the Highland Heather Panel.  I finished it off with three Mint Macaron adhesive-backed sequins.. honestly those may have been left over from a Paper Pumpkin kit! 

I finished up in the back of the focal panel, leaving room to write on it.

My note pad holder, I kept pretty simple but couldn't help but add some of the die cut elements from the DSP.  I started with an full sheet of  8-1/2" x 11" Highland Heather Cardstock and scored it on the long end at 2-3/4", 3, 7-1/2, and 8".  On the short side, I scored it at 1/2".

I used the Paper Trimmer to cut in diagonally to leave an exposed area at the upper part of the note pad holder.  I cut at the score lines and the bottom and clipped in on one side.  I adhered the bottom portion together with Multipurpose Adhesive.  I cut two 1" strips of DSP and attached them with Multipurpose Adhesive at the back and at the front. 

 The back was covered up by a square of Magnetic Vent Cover (purchased from any home improvement store).  The adhesive in the front was covered up by a Embellished Stitched Nested Label... so the adhesive won't show on either side.

I cut the Stitched Nested Label out of Calypso Coral Cardstock.  The cactus and bloom were both cut with the coordinating dies from the DSP.  I added a double layer of  Purple Posey letters to spell LIST from the Playful Alphabet Dies to the front of the label. The embellished label was adhered with Dimensionals.  So this one is ready to stick on the refrigerator so I can finally find my grocery list!

OSAT BLOG HOP NEW REVIEW!

Hi There!  It's time for another One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop!  This month's theme is all about New Annual Catalog Products!  What an amazing time for some inspiration from Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the Globe!  If you've already been hopping, thanks so much for continuing on!  If you've started with me, make sure you stop by for some fabulous projects with some awesome new products!

For my card and project, I used the Jar of Flowers Stamp Set and the beautiful Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper in Misty Moonlight .... one of my new favorite colors!

I started out with an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Misty Moonlight Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".  I used the 2nd from the largest of the stitched rectangles to cut a panel of the beautiful Flowers for Every Season DSP.  I matted it in Whisper White and love how it pops against the beautiful Misty Moonlight Cardstock!  I had a small scrap of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper in woodgrain that I sponged in Soft Suede ink and adhered to the bottom of the stitched rectangle panel.  I ran a piece of White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the matted panel and tied it in a knot on the left front.  I attached it to the Card Base with Dimensionals.  I stamped the jar and the flowers from the Jar of Flowers Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some Whisper White Cardstock.  Inside the jar, I also stamped the flower stems in Tuxedo Black and the half jar of water was stamped in Seaside Spray Ink that was first stamped off on scrap paper to have a lighter color of water.  I felt like the 2nd generation Seaside Spray went well with Misty Moonlight!  I used light and dark Daffodil Delight, light and dark Granny Apple Green, light Night of Navy and dark Balmy Blue to color in the flowers and leaves.  The jar was punched out .... Yay!  And then came the hard part... fussy cutting the flowers with my Paper Snips.. Ugh!  After fussy cutting, I used the side of my Basic Black Stampin Write Marker to add some black to the edges of the image to cover all of my cutting mistakes!  lol  I popped up the jar and flowers onto my cardfront with Dimensionals.  I used the Many Mates stamp set for the sentiment on the front and inside the card.  The outside sentiment was cut out with the Stitched Banner die from the Tasteful Labels dies.  Those dies are amazing!  I used dimensionals to pop up the banner on the side of the card and liquid adhesive on the part of the banner that ran over the jar.

Here's the inside that was super simple...

I added the Celebrate sentiment from the same Many Mates stamp set and a thin strip of the same Flowers for Every Season DSP to the bottom to finish it off.  

For my project, I went super simple as well..

My little treat holder is super simple... 

To make the treatholder, I started with a 6" x 6" piece of Flowers For Every Season DSP and scored at 2" and 4" on both sides.  I cut up on both the right and left scores leaving the middle without cuts.

I pulled up the sides until they met at a point and added a staple.  I then added some Braided Burlap Trim with another staple but you can use Jute or anything sturdy to attach to the little treat holder.  

 

 Finally to finish it off I added a piece of Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon around the treat holder adhering it in a few plces with glue dots and tying it in a bow on the front.  I added some white shredded paper to the inside to finish it off.

Blessings, Tina

OSAT Blog Hop Chick Ewe Out

Hi There and Welcome to the March 2020 One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop "Chick Ewe Out".  This month's theme is all about Animals or Easter.. our pick!  If you have aleady been hopping, thanks so much for continuing!  If you are starting with me, please make sure that you check out all of the fabulous inspiration along the way!  There is a blog roll at the end of the post that will take you to the next Blog!  I'm sure you'll be amazed at the cards and projects shared!

I went with Animals instead of Easter and used a combination of the Wildly Happy Stamp Set and the beautiful Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.

I used Pretty Peacock for my cardbase and two pieces of the Tropical Oasis DSP layered onto each other and then cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and added a thin matt of Pool Party Cardsock.  i loved this DSP paired with the Elephants.  It really looked like a jungle in the background!  

The elephant image from the Wildly Happy Stamp Set was stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I used my Stampin' Blends in Light and Dark Smoky Slate, Light and Dark Petal Pink, Light Pool Party and Light and Dark Mossy Meadow.  I colored everything in prior to cutting it into a Stitched Circle with my Stitched Shapes Dies.  Since I'm not usally that great and doing skys or backgrounds, I used a combination of Light Pool Party and Light Petal Pink in sideways strokes for the sky and I love how it turned out.   I stamped the sentiment on the lower light green portion of the DSP in versamark and embossed it in black.  I ran some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding around the panel and tied it on the right side and then attached the Circle with Stampin' Dimensionals in the upper and lower section avoiding the seam binding.

I cut my Curvy Keepsake Box from Tropical Oasis DSP and kept the tag super simple by stamping it in Memento Tuxedo Black on Whisper White and punch a small hole in the top and then adding more of the Crinkled Seam Binding.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  You are currently at Tina Riddle's Blog, so just click the name directly under mine, or if I'm last on the list, you can head back up to the top of the blog roll to continue on.   Blessings, Tina
