The Spot #107 Birthday Challenge with Poppy Moments Dies and Label Me Bold Stamp Set

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's another work from home day today and socially distancing myself of course.  Thank goodness for facebook, instagram and pinterest for some type of social interaction!

So since it is Tuesday, that means it's time for another Challenge over at The Spot.  This week is one that most everyone can get on board with.... it's all about Birthdays!  I know that I always need more birthday cards no matter how many I make!

It seems lately when I've wanted a birthday card, I seem to always reach for the Label Me Bold Stamp Set.  That Happy Birthday Label is perfect to add to any floral card.. in this case Poppies!

The Spot #106 Color Challenge Petal Pink, Gray Granite and a Metallic!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's been yet another strange week as I've spent quite a bit of time working from home again.  This week should allow for a little more time at the office.  Some days I wonder if things will ever really be "normal" again.  I think we may have a new normal.

This week's Challenge at The Spot is a Color Challenge. Use Petal Pink, Gray Granite and a Metallic.  My metallic was champagne rhinestones.. did I cheat?  I hope not!

This one included some of my favorite things... Tone-onTone Stamping, The Ornate Style Bundle, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and Peaceful Moments Stamp Set!

I can't tell you how much I love Tone-on-Tone stamping for adding some interest to a card base.  I stamped the Ornate Style large floral stamp in Gray Granite Ink on Gray Granite Cardstock on the upper left and lower right of the front of a 11 x 4 1/4" card base that was scored at 5 1/2" for a top folding card.    I die cut one of the Ornate Layers in Gray Granite and Added a Petal Pink largest Scalloped Rectangle layer from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  On a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, I stamped using Gray Granite Ink,  the large Ornate Style floral stamp on the edge and added the "Happy Birthday" from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.  I used the 2nd largest Scalloped Rectangle to cut the Whisper White.  I colored in just the flowers with Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.  I added it to the Petal Pink Cardstock Layer and then finished off the outside with 3 Champagne Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

Here's the Inside....

The inside sentiment is also from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and was stamped in Gray Granite onto more Whisper White Cardstock.  I stamped the Ornate Style large floral image on the left side and added just a bit of  coloring with the Petal Pink Blends to the flowers.  I then cut out the layer with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle fromt the Stiched So Sweetly Dies again.

This was a beautiful, yet simple, card to create.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings, Tina

OSAT Blog Hop Celebrate April 2020

Hello and Welcome to the April 2020 One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop!  This month's theme is all about Celebrations!  If you are starting with me, I hope you'll make sure to take the hop to all of the other blogs for some fabulous inspiration!  If you started elsewhere, thank you for continuing on!

For my celebration theme, I went with a Wedding Card and Gift Card Holder Pillow Box.   For my card,  I used the beautiful Forever Blossoms Bundle, the Birch Cling Stamp,  as well as the brand new Ornate Layers Dies that just became available to customers on April 1st!

I am loving the New Ornate Layers Dies.. they are just beautiful layered up! 

My cardbase is an 11" x 4 1/4" half sheet of Mint Macaron Cardstock that was scored at 5 1/2" for a top folding card.  I stamped the Birch Stamp onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Sahara Sand Ink that had been stamped off once for a 2nd generation lighter image.  I used the Ornate Layers Dies to cut the layer and attached some Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow on the right side.  I added another layer from the Ornate Layers Dies vertically over the card front on the left side with Dimensionals.  I stamped the beautiful floral image from the Forever Blossoms Bundle onto another piece of Whisper White cardstock with more of the Sahara Sand Ink.  I used Petal Pink light and dark and Mint Macaron light and dark Stampin' Blends to color in the floral image and used the coordinating die to cut it out and then attached it to the vertical layer with Multipurpose Adhesive.  I stamped the sentiment onto another scrap of Whisper White Cardstock and used another of the Ornate Layer Dies to cut out the sentiment and added it to the bottom of the card front just above the decorative edge of the front panel diecut.  I finished it off by adding three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  

I used one of the Kraft Pillow Boxes for a gift card holder.  I stamped a sentiment on yet another scrap of Whisper White cardstock with Sahara Sand Ink.  Using yet another of the Ornate Layers Dies, I cut out the sentiment and added it to the front of the Pillow Box.  I added a simple bow with more of the Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon on the upper left corner of the diecut sentiment with a glue dot.  I stamped a single blossom and double leaf from the Forever Blossoms bundle with the same Stampin' Blends that I used to color in the other floral image.  I used the coordinating dies for those as well and added it to the lower left side of the die cut sentiment to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you'll go to the next blog and continue on for lots of awesome inspiration!  Remember, you are at Tina Riddle's blog, so click the name directly under mine on the below Blog Roll!

The Spot Challenge #105 Sketch Challenge with The Ornate Garden Suite

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!  It's another working from home day for me.  Sometimes I wonder if things will eveer go back to normal or if this is becoming our new normal.  I just try to remember that we can learn and grow from these challenges.  I hope that you and your family are able to stay safe and virus free!  

Since it is Tuesday, it's time for another Challenge over at The Spot!  This week we have a new sketch and this one has been really fun to work with.  

I used some of the awesome new products from The Ornate Garden Suite on this one!  

I started off with a Terracotta Tile 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" half sheet of card stock that was scored at 4 1/4".  I added a 5 1/4" x 4" Old Olive Cardstock layer that was run through my Big Shot with the awesome Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  I ran a piece of Terra Cotta Tile ribbon, from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo pack, across the middle of the Old Olive layer and tied it in a knot on the right side before attaching it to the card base with multipurpose glue.  Using the smallest square in the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut 3 squares of the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP, I then cut a scallop border using Layering Squares dies.  I attached the three squares each in a diamond pattern using Stampin' Dimensionals avoiding the ribbon by placing them over or under that section.  The sentiment "you're amazing" from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set was stamped onto a scrap of Terra Cotta Tile cardstock with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed in white.  I used one of  stitched rectangle dies to cut out the sentiment.  Since the rectangle was too wide and long, I cut it once to line it up under the sentiment to the right place on the left side and then ran it through a second time lining it up at the top of the sentiment and on the right side.  This allowed the sentiment strip to be just the right size.  I added three gold enamel glitter dots that had been colored with my Stampin' Blend Dark Old Olive marker.  The alcohol markers dry really fast when coloring in jewels or dots.. such a nice way to coordinate your embellishments to the color of your project!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
