OSAT Blog Hop - Sixteen Candles

Hello and welcome to the One Stamp At a time February 2020 Blog Hop!  This month we are all about birthdays!!!  If you've already been hopping, thanks so much for continuing!  If you are starting with me, please make sure you use the blog roll at the bottom of this post to navigate the hop!  You will find so much wonderful inspiration with this talented group of crafters!!

I finally had the chance to use the fabulous Under My Umbrella Bundle from Stampin' Up!'s January - June Mini Catalog!  I absolutely ADORE this set!  I can't believe I hadn't already used it!  

My inspiration for the colors came from the beautiful Pigment Sprinkles that I used on my  Watercolor Panel in the background.  A 3 x 4" piece of  watercolor paper was spritzed with water and then sprinkled with some of the beautiful Bermuda Bay Pigment Sprinkles.   After adding the sprinkles, I spritzed the watercolor paper two additonal times and moved it from side to side to spread that gorgeous color!  When I was happy with the background, I used a paper towel to dry up any of the color that was trying to escape the edges of the paper and then used my heat tool to dry it completely!  My top folding cardbase was made out of  half sheet of Bermuda Bay Cardstock.  I ran a piece of the gorgeous Lily Impressions DSP on the left side of my cardbase.  The front panel was added with Dimensionals onto the center of the card front. For the umbrella, I stamped it directly on a scrap of the Lily Impressions DSP in Memento Tuxedo Black and punched it out with the coordinating Umbrella Builder Punch. I used a scrap of Smoky Slate Cardstock for the umbrella handle.  The boots and several of the different little flower images were stamped onto scraps of Whisper White Cardstock with Memento and colored using Stampin' Blends duos in Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, and Blackberry Bliss. The flowers and boots were super easy to fussy cut and I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to go around the edges so no white was showing.  I added the umbrella with Dimensionals at the bottom of the panel.  I used multipurpose adhesive to adhere the top and bottom of the umbrella handle so I could slide a small piece of Whisper White twine under the handle to tie a bow.  I added the boots and all of the flowers with mini dimensionals.  A scrap of Daffodil Delight Cardstock was used to cut out the round sentiment label using the Painted Labels Dies (part of the Painted Poppies Bundle!).  I heat embossed the It's Your Day sentiment in White in the middle of the painted labels die cut and adhered it partially with a mini dimensional (left side) and partially with Multipurpose Adhesive.  I finished the front off with three sequins from the Woven Threads Sequin Pack.  

Here's the inside of my card...

For the inside, I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.  In the lower left I added a partially open umbrella die cut with the same Lily Impressions DSP and then added a few more of the flowers on the edge of the umbrella.  .  

I made a little Mini Curvy Keepsake treat box to go with my card...

I cut the mini curvy keepsake box out of more of the Lily Impressions DSP.  I cut out a small tag (also in the die set) and stamped one of the smaller flower bouquets onto the tag and colored them in with my Stampin' Blends and added three of the Woven Thread Sequins.  I used Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding and some Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine to close the mini curvy keepsake box and add the tag.    So simple but so cute and perfect any little treat!

PCC370 Inspiration Challenge - Spring in Bloom with Stampin' Up! Timeless Tropical Bundle

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  It's time for another Paper Craft Crew challenge and this is one that I believe everyone will love!  It's an Spring in Bloom Inspiration Challenge.. how fun!

I just received my Timeless Tropical Bundle from Stampin' Up! so I couldn't wait to ink it up.  It is a heavy sketch type of stamp and after looking at pretty much everything on Pinterest I decided to stamp it in a Melon Mambo and use my Stampin' Blends.  I really love how it turned out!

For my background I used a piece of watercolor paper and Pigment Sprinkles in Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green for a watercolored background.  I spritzed the watercolor paper with water first and added the Bermuda Bay towards the top of the panel and sprayed three or so more times to alow the color to move and then dried with my heat tool.  I did the same thing on the bottom of the panel with the Granny Apple Green.  Once it was completely dry I splattered a little bit of white paint on it and matted it in Whisper White.  I stamped my flower onto Whisper White Cardstock in Melon Mambo.  The leaves were stamped in Garden Green on Whisper White as well.   I used light and dark  Lovely Lipstick and Daffodil Delight Blends to color in the flower and Light and Dark Mossy Meadow to color in the leaves.  I adhered the flower and leaves with Dimensionals. The "aloha" from the coordinating dies was cut out in Whisper White twice and adhered one on top of the other and then glued the layered aloha onto the upper right side of the card front panel.  The matted floral layer was added to the Bermuda Bay top folding card base with Multipurpose Adhesive.  To finished it off I added three sequins from the SAB freebie Metallic baker's twine and sequins combo pack.  I adore how it turned out.  I thought about adding another flower but the background was so striking that I hated to cover it up!  If you are interested in any of the products used, I'll have a supply list at the bottom of this post!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

OSAT Blog Hop - Happy Father's Day or Masculine Card

Hello and Happy Thursday!  We've almost made it to Friday and that is always a good thing!  Since it's the 2nd Thursday of the month it's time for another One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop.  This month, it's all about Father's Day or Masculine Cards. If you have already been hopping then you should have landed from Kim Smith's Blog.  Kim is new to our Blog Hop but has some amazing work so I hope you left her some love on her page to make her feel welcome!

If you've followed me at all, you are probably not one bit surprised that I pulled out the Traveler stamp set for my masculine card.  It really is my "go to" masculine card set!

  I started with a 11" x 4 1/4" card base in Chocolate Chip.  I scored the front with my MFT stitched rectangles set.  I then cut a layer of Pool Party with a smaller stiched rectangle and dry embossed it in a woodgrain embossing folder.  I cut a piece of watercolor paper and stamped the world map onto it with Stazon Timber Brown Ink.  Once dry, I used my Aqua Markers to watercolor the map in with my Pool Party, Crumb Cake, and Old Olive Ink Pads.  Once I finished my watercoloring, I used a heat tool to dry it and then cut a stitched circle out of the Map.  I then heat embossed the sentiment from the Friendly Wishes Stamp Set with Gold embossing powder on the Map.  I glued my circle onto the lower half of the woodgrain background layer.   I stamped the train on Whisper White cardstock, fussy cut it, and adhered with dimensionals.  In the upper right corner I put a layer of burlap ribbon and a small piece of Chocolate Chip Chevron Ribbon from my huge stash.  I stapled the ribbon to the upper right of the card.  I then threaded a basic gold button with linen thread and adhered it the ribbon with glue dots.

For my second project I made a mini treat bag gift card holder.  I used a large sheet of watercolor paper and stamped the world map on it twice side by side with Stazon Timber Brown ink.  I then watercolored using my aqua painters with the same inks that I used on the map on my card.  I dried the paper off with my heat tool and then cut out the mini treat bag with my die and glued it together.  I glued a piece of burlap ribbon around the bag and stapled on a couple of pieces of Chocolate Chip Chevron ribbon and strand of linen thread to the left side of the burlap.  I heat embossed another of the sentiments from the Friendly Wishes Stamp set in gold.  I cut that out with a small stitched circle die and cut a larger stitched circle in Pool Party.  I glued the sentiment onto the blue circle and then adhered it to the burlap ribbon with glue dots.  I added a few gold Pink Posh sequins because it needed a little something :)  Oh and one of my favorite parts of this little bag is that I used My Paper Pumpkin blue tissue paper for the inside of it!
