March Pals Blog Hop - "Spring Has Sprung"




Welcome to the March Pals Blog Hop where we are celebrating spring. This month we are featuring spring related projects for Mother’s Day, Easter or any other occasion that celebrates winter coming to an end.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Angela Curry At Kindred Stampers #2 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

Hallelujah!  Spring is just around the corner.  I am really enjoying the sunny skies, warm temperatures and daylight savings time.   So ready for the cold temperatures to be behind us for now.

With the changing of the season, I have turned my attention to spring projects for Easter, Mother's Day, and other occasions.  Today, I would like to share a card we made a recent workshop hosted by my friend, Cynthia.  I had a wonderful time and I think the group did too.  It features two more of my favorites: the Painted Petals stamp set and the Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper.



I was lucky enough to win the stamp set at the Stampin' Up Catalog Reveal in December.  It is a great set that can be used to make beautiful cards in a "jiffy".  I used Coastal Cabana with a touch of Wild Wasabi to stamp the flowers.  The background was achieved by adding Coastal Cabana ink with a sponge to the floral piece of the DSP.  Don't forget to use a clean paper towel to rub color away from the embossed flowers. I chose not to add other embellishments but you could step up this card by adding rhinestones or ribbon.

Remember, Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st.  Don't miss out!  The Irresistibly Yours DSP is amazing and FREE with a $50 purchase.  Check out my online store HERE.

The next stop is Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty #4 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month.

Don't miss out on the fabulous ideas from all the Pals!

February Pals Blog Hop - Share What You Love!





Welcome to the February Pals Blog Hop. This month we are sharing what we love - our favorite Stampin' Up! products and our favorite crafting techniques.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from #14 Beth McCullough at Stamping Mom. Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.


Hooray for Birthdays!  This month I want to share a couple of birthday projects.  The Occasions catalog includes fabulous new products which are perfect.   I have to admit I have been busy making projects using the Birthday Bash stamp set and designer series paper.  Theses sets coordinate perfectly with the Celebrate Today stamp stamp set and matching framelits.  Of course, the Big Day Sale-a-bration stamp set compliments all of these products.  You just got to love the way Stampin' Up products coordinate. I never have to run from store to store looking for coordinating stamps, paper, ribbon, or ink because the work has been done for me.

Here is my swap card from Leadership.  I heat embossed the stars and dots in gold to match the metallic gold in the Birthday Bash DSP.  It is so pretty in person.



The Birthday Bash stamp set includes a "confetti" stamp used along the bottom on the inside of the card.


The new Treat Bag Framelit was used to make this card holder.  Add a gift card or a little treat for a special surprise.


This card also features the balloons from Celebrate Today.  The sentiments from the Big Day stamp set are easily colored using the Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay blendabilities.  Did you notice the cute hearts on the balloon strings.  Do you know what new stamp set includes this stamp?  I will give you a hint--it is in the Occasions catalog.  Check it out here!


Another surprise inside!


The next stop is #16 Brian King at Stamp with Brian on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I'll see you next month.

Olaf Curvy Keepsake Box

I am a big fan of Disney's Frozen.  It is a movie I own and have watched over and over.  The music, the story and the look of the animation are wonderful.  Even my two year old granddaughter can sing along to the songs.  Of course, the Olaf character is one of my favorites.  Several weeks ago, a friend suggested I make an Olaf Curvy Keepsake Box.  So here is what I came up with.  Isn't he cute?
I have sold several at local craft shows.  When a child recognizes Olaf on my table, I knew I had captured the right look.



Thanks for visiting!

December Pals Blog Hop - Winter Wishes


Welcome to the last Pals Blog Hop of 2014. This month we want to help you start your holiday wish list by sharing projects featuring our favorite Stampin’ Up! papers, stamps, tools and accessories. Get your wish list ready as you move along through the blog hop.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Dawn Tidd at Tiddbits from Dawn #3 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the project.
My “wish” list from the Holiday Catalog just kept getting longer.  This catalog proved to be one of my all- time favorites.  Of course, I say that about every new catalog!   The tools, stamp sets and embellishment are amazing. 
Today, I am sharing a card which uses two stamp sets which are not on the carry over list.  So be sure get them while you can.  They are available through January 5th.  Most holiday stamp sets are limited to making Christmas cards or items.  But these two stamp sets can be used year round for multiple occasions, which increase their versatility. 
This card was made using White Christmas and Holiday Home Stamp Sets.  They are both photopolymer sets with multiple images. I just love having a lot of choices when I make a card.  The images from these sets can easily be combined on one card.  Check it out!


But wait, there is more fun inside the card.

The photopolymer stamps make for easy placement.  I used one of our sponges to add Soft Sky to the sky and Smoky Slate to the snowy ground.  Blendabilities were used to color the house, bird and snowman's details.  Of course the Hardwood stamp on Soft Sky card stock makes the perfect background.    
The next stop is Beth McCullough at Stamping Mom #5 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you in 2015.
