OSAT Blog Hop Blooms with Stampin' Up! Cactus Cuties!

 


Hi There and Welcome to the One Stamp At A Time March 2022 Blog Hop!  This month we are celebrating Blooms!  There are so many fabulous flower and bloom stamp sets but I chose to use the Cactus Cuties because it's one of my current favorites!  


These pots and cacti are just so cute! 


I loved using the scallop die cut from the Scalloped Contours Dies as a little shelf.  The background DSP is from the Heart and Home DSP pack... I love that one side of each of the patterns has gray and white woodgrain designs!


I finished off the inside very simply.  

For my 3D project I made a lip balm holder..


This little lip balm holder was super easy to make.  Basic Gray cardstock cut 3-1/8 x 2-3/4 and scored on the short side at 5/8, 1-1/4, 1-7/8, and 2-1/2.  On the long side, score at 5/8".  Cut up at the score lines at the bottom 5/8"and miter the edges.  You can use Seal plus or tear and tape to adhere the bottom folds in and along the thin edge of the little box.


You could add a little tag on it to personalize it if you'd like.

OSAT Blog Hop Slim Shady - Slim Line Card featuring the Hello Ladybug Bundle

 


Good Morning and welcome to the One Stamp At A Time February 2022 Slim Shady Blog Hop!  Do you love the super trendy Slim Line Cards?  If so, you will LOVE all of the Amazing Inspiration that you will get along this hop! I chose to use the super cute Hello Ladybug Bundle along with the Circle Layering Dies, Forever Flourishing Dies and the Medium Daisy Punch on my card today!




I started off with an 8-1/2" x 7" piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock, scored at 3-1/2" on the 7" side for my Slim Line Card Base!  I layered on a 3-3/8" x 8-3/8" panel of Real Red Cardstock.  I used the Layering Circle Dies to cut 4 circles out of the focal panel of 3-1/4" x 8-1/4" piece of Pattern Party DSP.  I used scraps of Basic White Cardstock to stamp two of the Lady Bugs that coordinate with the Lady Bug Builder Punch using Real Red and Memento Tuxedo Black Inks.  I stamped 6 of the Daisy Images onto more scraps of Basic White cardstock and used the Medium Daisy Punch to punch them out.  I offset a layer onto another layer of a daisy to make 3 fuller daises.  I used another scrap of Basic White to stamp the other Lady Bug Image from the set using the same Inks.  Using my Granny Apple Green Dark Blends, I added some ground/grass to the bottom of the walking Ladybug image!  I used the light Pool Party Blends Marker to fill in the background.  The sentiment in one of the smaller circles was stamped with the three small flower stamp from the stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink on another scrap of Basic White Cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped over the floral image in Real Red Ink.  I again used the light Pool Party Blends marker to lightly color around the sentiment and flowers.  In a larger scrap of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image in Granny Apple Green and again lightly colored around the image in the light Pool Party Blends marker.   Finally I used the Forever Flourishing Dies to cut out some leafy branches in Granny Apple Green.  For one of the circle backgrounds I only colored in a Pool Party Blends background and added part of the leafy branch die to it.  I added all of the background scraps behind the circles with scotch tape to the back of the Pattern Party layer.  Once I was happy with the placement of the inside of the circles, I added the two stamped and punched ladybugs, added some of the Granny Apple Green Leafy Branches and the Double Layered Daisies.  I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of the Daisies.  A small Brushed Brass Butterfly was added to the sentiment circle and two of the larger Brushed Brass Butterflies was added over the sentiment circle.  To finish off the card front, I used the Black and White Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack along the left side of the card front adding two small pieces of scrap ribbon (Real Red Ruffled Ribbon and Black and White Gingham Ribbon) prior to tying into a knot.  


 

For the inside of the card, I layered 3" x 8" Basic White Cardstock onto a 3-1/4" x 8-1/4" panel of Real Red Cardstock.  I stamped two daisies in Daffodil Delight onto the bottom of the card front and added a small piece of the leafy branch from the Forever Flourishing Dies.  On another scrap of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped two more Daisies and punched them out with the Medium Daisy Punch to offset layer onto the stamped daisies.  The inside sentiment is from the Sunny Sentiments Stamp Set and was stamped in Real Red Ink.


For my Treat Holder, I used one of the Sweet Little Boxes and added layers of Real Red Cardstock and Pattern Party DSP to match the card.  I added one of the Leafy branches cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies and another of the stamped and punched Lady Bugs to again match the Slim Line Card.  I finished it off by adding a small bow of the Black and White Twine.  All of the products used will be added below the Blog Roll.

OSAT Blog Hop Step It Up! Fall Cards with the Love Of Leaves Stamp Set and Stitched Leaves Dies

 


Hi There!  I hope you've been having a wonderful week!  I'm super excited about this month's One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop Theme... Step It Up!  I love the process of taking a card from Simple to Amazing by adding little touches here and there!  If you have already been hopping along, thanks so much for stopping by!  If you are starting at my blog, please make sure to check out all of the fabulousness from Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the country!  




For all of my projects I used the Love of Leaves Stamp Set and the coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies but added more products here and there as I continued to step up the cards.


For the first card, I kept it really simple.  I started off with an Early Espresso 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" half sheet of cardstock, scored at 4-1/4" for an A2 card base.  I added a 3-3/4" x 5" panel of Crumb Cake Cardstock.  I also added a 3/4" x 5" strip of the beautiful Harvest Meadow DSP leaving about 1/4" of the Crumb Cake Cardstock showing on the left side before adhering with Multipurpose Adhesive.  The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso on the bottom right side.  Leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies were cut out of Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight Cardstock and adhered to each other with Glue Dots after arranging and adding Dimensionals to the bottom of them to attach to the card panel.  I tied some Twine from the Essentials Twine Collection to the stems of the leaves.  I added a few splatters with an Early Espresso Stamp and Write Marker and then three Matt Decorative Dots to finish it off.



For the stepped up version of the Simple Card, I added some embossing of the Crumb Cake background with the amazing Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso on a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock that was cut with the Swirly Circle from the Painted Labels Dies.  I popped the sentiment circle up with Dimensionals.  The Stitched Leaves, Splatters and Decorative Dots were added just as in the Simple card.  





For the last and more stepped up version, I again used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder but added a Stitched Rectangle of the Harvest Meadow DSP matted in Early Espresso to the lower right side.  For the Swirly Circle, I cut it in Early Espresso and used the Layering Circle Dies to cut out the sentiment stamped in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla Cardstock.  I also used the Circle Dies to cut a scallop in Crumb Cake Cardstock to matt the sentiment circle.   I used the Baby Wipe Technique to make an Ink Pad using folded up Baby Wipes and Mossy Meadow, Bumble Bee, and Pumpkin Pie Re-Inkers.  The leaves from the Love Of Leaves Stamp Set were inked in the Baby Wipe Ink Pad and then cut out using the Stitched Leaves Dies.  I added the stamped and diecut leaves in the same was as the previous cards.  I added Early Espresso Ink Splatters and Decorative Matt Dots as I did in the previous cards.





The inside of the card was kept fairly simple, I stamped the leaf in Daffodil Delight and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso over the leaf.
