SIP Challenge #72 - Sketch Challege!

Hello and a Very Happy Tuesday to you!  As you are reading this, I should be on a 7 day cruise to St Thomas, San Juan, Half Moon Cay, and Grand Turk.  I hope you are having half as good a week as I am!  LOL  This week over at Stamp, Ink, Paper we have a sketch challenge up!  Check it out!

Unfortunately I needed to make a couple of sympathy cards so I used this sketch for one of them.

My color palette is from the Petals & Paisleys DSP collection.  My card base is an 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Rich Razzleberry scored at 5 1/2".  My next layer is a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Mint Macaron with a 2 3/4" x 5 1/4' piece of the Petals & Paisleys DSP on the left side.  My sentiment was stamped in a panel of Mint Macaron that was matted on Rich Razzleberry.  I stamped the trees in Delightful Dijon and the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry.  Both the trees and sentiment are from the Thoughtful Branches stamp set that was available in September.  It is an awesome set and I hope it makes it in the next annual catalog. 

The inside of the card has another sentiment and more trees from that same awesome stamp set! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

SIP #71 Color Challenge!

Hello Friends!  I'm back over at Stamp, Ink, Paper with my Design Team card based on a color challenge that was a little difficult for me.  Look at the colors and let me know what you think??

In theory, I loved the colors together but when I sat down to make something.. I struggled a bit.  I finally decided that a fun stamp in my February 2016 Unity Stamp Co. Kit of the Month would be fun in Rust and Mustard!  I water colored the background in a light wash of the Mint and then added it more saturated in the leaves.  

I love the sentiment that was also in that Kit of the Month.  Unity has some fabulous images and sentiments!  I water colored the image with my Aqua Painters in Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze, and Mint Macaron.  I added some splatters with a Coastal Cabana Marker!   I cut out the image as well as another rectangle with some Lil' Inker Stitched Rectangle Dies.  They also have a Stitched Rectangle that scores the A2 base without cutting so I used that the front of my Cajun Craze base.  Hope you love it as much as I do!  Did I mention how much I love Unity stamps??  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

PCC215 Fall into Fall with Acorny Thank You!

Hello Peeps and Happy Hump Day!  Since it's Wednesday, I'm back over with the Paper Craft Crew Design Team with a Fall into Fall Card!

When I think of Fall, I think of Leaves and Acorns.  I've made quite a few cards with Leaves recently so I went to my Acorny Thank You Stamp Set and Acorn Punch for this one!

I wanted to try something other than the usual Fall colors this time so I went a little wild.  My card base is Sweet Sugar Plum.  The 2nd layer is Rich Razzleberry, and the top layer is Dapper Denim that has been embossed with a woodgrain embossing folder.  These little acorns are super cute in those colors as well.  I added a little nest of Gold Metallic Thread before adhering the acorns with Dimensionals.  I

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you'll head over to Paper Craft Crew with your own Fall into Fall card!

Blessings, Tina

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #70 - Tic Tac Toe

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you are having a fabulous week!  I'm counting down to my vacation that is just 2 weeks away and getting more and more excited every day!  Today over at Stamp, Ink, Paper we have a fun Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge! 

I totally had another card in mind but once I started working on my planned card I decided it against it.  Instead this is what I came up with!  This fit in right across the bottom row for Orange, Ribbon/Twine and Punch/Die Cut!

 I started looking around my craft area and found some left over watercolor paper that already had a three color wash on it and had Gina Marie Oak Leaves die cut out of it.  I decided to cut the oak leaves out of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and inlay them into the negative space.   I cut the watercolor paper panel 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped the sentiment from the retired Lighthearted Leaves set in the lower left in Chocolate Chip Ink. The Pumpkin Pie Die Cut Oak Leaves were glued into the negative space with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.  I ran Tangerine Tango baker's twine along the left side three times and tied it in a bow toward the bottom.  I adhered this panel onto Old Olive A2 Card Base.  I was super happy with how it turned out!  I'm usually not a clean & simple girl but this is pretty close!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

OSAT Blog Hop - Oh My Pumpkins and Pie!

 

Hello and Welcome to One Stamp At A Time's Oh My Pumpkins and Pie Blog Hop!  This month it is all about Pumpkins, Fall or Halloween cards and projects!  If you have already been hopping you should have landed here from the Fabulous Maria Willis' blog!  Isn't Maria amazing??  If you started with me, please make sure to continue on to all of the blogs as there is a lot of awesome inspiration for you this month!!!

Here's my card and project for you this month...

I was super excited to get my new Stampin' Up! Spooky Fun stamp set and coordinating Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies to use on this card!

For my card, I went with traditional (to me) Halloween colors... Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black and Basic Gray.  My cardbase is an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock scored at 4 1/4" for a standard A2 Card Base.  The next layer is a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Elegant Eggplant that had been stamped in Elegant Eggplant Ink with the Watercolor Wash background stamp.  I punched out a circle in Pumpkin Pie for the moon and stamped it with the 2nd generation of the Elegant Eggplant Watercolor Wash stamp.  I adhered that to the Purple layer in the upper right section.  The next layer is Basic Black that was also 5 1/4" x 4" and was cut with the Tree scene die and adhered with Fast Fuse over the purple so that some of the branches are in the moon.  I die cut a bat out of a scrap of basic black and added that over the moon as well.  Next up is the fence scene that was cut out from a 4" x 4" wide scrap of Basic Gray Cardstock.  The Happy Halloween sentiment was stamped on it in Elegant Eggplant on the bottom right before adhering this to the card front.  I stamped the pumpkins in Basic Black Archival Ink onto Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and die cut them with the dies from the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies.  I adhered them with Dimensionals right over the sentiment.  Last but never least, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Purple and Silver Sequins from the Enchanted Garden Mix.  I bought these from Justin Krieger at his Stamp, Ink, Paper Store!  I LOVE these colors in this mix!

The inside of my card had a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Elegant Eggplant Cardstock as well as a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock.  The spiders were stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink in the upper right corner.  The sentiment was stamped in Elegant Eggplant Ink.  Finally, some die cut pumpkins done the same as the ones on the front of the card were added in the lower left side.  

The Pumpkin Curvy Keepsake Box was cut from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and striped with a sponge dauber in Pumpkin Pie Ink.   The Leaves are stamped Tone-on-Tone on Old Olive Cardstock with the Vintage Leaves Stamp set and cut out with the Leaflet Framelits Dies.  They were adhered with Tombo Multipurpose Glue.  I tied a bow with some Green Seam Binding.  The tag also from the Curvy Keepsake Framelits was cut out in a scrap of Sahara Sand and tied on with Linen Thread.  This pumpkin turned out super cute and I think it would make an awesome place setting or treat box!

SIP Challenge #69 - Love!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Today over at Stamp, Ink, Paper we have a Love theme!  As usual, there is lots of awesome inspiration for you to check out!

I decided to use an awesome Unity Stamp Set called No Remedy for Love.  There are so many awesome sentiments in that set.  I'm a sucker for awesome sentiment sets!  Here's my card...

Since the challenge badge is Fall in Love, I first decided to go with some fall colors.  I started with  Bristol Watercolor Paper as a base for a watercolor wash.  I used Aqua Painters and the inks used were Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight.   Once the background wash was dry I used my Stampin' Up Archival Black Ink to stamp my sentiment and then I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Next the sentiment was cut out, as well as a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock,  with My Favorite Things Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies. From the extra watercolor wash, I cut out some leaves with the Gina Marie Oak Leaves Dies.. no need to waste a good watercolor wash, right??  The Pear Pizzazz cardstock measured 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and was scored at 4 1/4".  The next   layer was a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" Daffodil Delight background paper that had a piece of green seam binding attached and knotted on the left side.  Fast fuse was used to attach the Pumpkin Pie stitched layer and dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment layer.  The Gina Marie Oak Leaves with adhered with Fast Fuse.

I love how it turned out and I hope you did too!  Blessings, Tina
