Color Combo - TGIF Challenges #TGIFC97

A big loud woohoo is in order! I am super excited to share some fun news. I've been invited to create with the TGIF challenge team. I know, right? This group of stampers is crazy talented and always inspiring. I love to craft for any reason, or no reason at all. Ha! Challenges are the perfect reason to craft and to use up my stash.

Are you familiar with the TGIF challenges? This group of Stampin' Up demonstrators design to a specific challenge every Friday (color, layout, theme). The TGIF team's main objective is to inspire you to get your craft on!

This week happens to be a Color Combo challenge, my absolute favorite. The team was asked to create a project using Bermuda Bay, So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I LOVE this combination of colors. Use any stamp set you own and play along with us. Tag your projects with #TGIFC97.

My card today uses the Thankful Life Host set available in the Stampin' Up! 2017 Occasions Mini catalog. I haven't had a chance to play with this set yet and this challenge was the perfect opportunity to break it in. This set is can be earned with Stampin' Rewards.

Thankful Life Host Set, Stampin' Up! 2017 - Charlet Mallett #TGIFC97

I created the So Saffron scallop border and the Thank You folded banner using the WindowBox Thinlets. 

Head on over to the TGIF blog to see what the team created with this color combo and to play along.

Balloon Builders - What Will You Stamp

Hello! This weeks What Will You Stamp Challenge set is Balloon Builders. I really like this set and find it fun to stamp with. I like how transparent the images appear in this set when stamped over one another. This set is quite unique as you can build all sorts of balloon animals with the images in the set. I'm totally going to create a balloon wiener dog next time I use this set.

My card today is super simple using limited supplies but I really like how it turned out. Stop by the WWYS blog to see more wonderful inspiration using this set.

Lift Me Up - What Will You Stamp

Welcome to another week of What Will You Stamp. The challenge set this week is Lift Me Up.  This is a super fun set that has coordinating framelits. This is also the set the Stamp Review Crew focused on this week. Coincidences! Needless to say, I've used it a ton lately.

I created the background of this card using the congratulations stamp and a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help line up every stamp. There are a few instances where it's not perfect but it works.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to stop by the WWYS blog to see more awesome projects using this set. If you happen to have this stamp set, make a project and play along with us!

Lift Me Up - Stamp Review Crew

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday. Today we stamp with the Lift me Up stamp set and coordinating thinlits. This stamp set is available in the Occasions mini catalog.

If you are following the hop in order, you have just arrived from Tanya's blog. She is the most amazing stamper!

Today I am sharing two cards that use two different inking techniques for the primary image.

On the Bermuda Bay card (above) I used the balloon punch out from the framelit as a stencil and misted over that image with Bermuda Bay ink that I loaded into a Stampin' Spritzer.  I then framed the balloon image with the outline (the negative) of the balloon shape.  I think spritzing the hot air balloon adds a soft and interesting texture to the image, almost like the balloon is appearing through clouds.

On the Balloon card below I used a stamping sponge to directly transfer Bermuda Bay ink to a sheet of Whisper White card stock. I did this in a random pattern. Then I chose the which area I like best to cut out with the hot air balloon framelit.  This gives the balloon a similar appearance to the card above without the softness.

Still here? Ok, I have really gotten a ton of use out of this set. Below are a bunch of samples that I've shared previously over last couple of months. It's fun to see them all on one place.
