TGIFC175 - TIC TAC TOE Challenge (Tropical Chic)

August 31, 2018

Super quick post today, we are moving our oldest into his dorm and I really crammed to get a card created. Brevity is good.

Tic Tac Toe challenges are awesome. Are you a fan? I totally am. My card lines up the far right of this Tic Tac Toe board using flowers, negative space and thread. This card features the Tropical Chic stamp set. I'm pretty please with the negative space aspect on this card. I used the negative space of the leaf die cut to create a repeating background. Fun right?

Are you ready to take the challenge? Need more inspiration first? Check out what the TGIFC crew has created over on the TGIF Challenge blog. Happy stamping!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Alternates for Blissful Blooms

August 30, 2018

Welcome friends. Awesome news ... I've been asked to participate in the 'A Paper Pumpkin Thing' blog hop that happens monthly. Yay! I am super exited to share my take on Paper Pumpkin kits. What is this hop all about? Wait, what is Paper Pumpkin all about? Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription craft kit full of goodness from Stampin' Up! Every kit includes a stamp set, supplies, ink and projects instructions. The designers participating in this hop take the monthly kit and put their own spin on the projects providing alternate ideas for you and various ways on how to use the kit supplies. Fun, fun!

This month's kit is called Blissful Blooms. When I get my monthly box I usually make one set of the suggested projects exactly as shown. Once I check that off the list then I go to town and play with the remaining supplies. I tried to keep with the basic kit supplies but sometimes I add a few core items from my craft stash. On these cards I swapped up inks, added a few dies & embossing folders but otherwise you could make these using your kit supplies.

Are you a Paper Pumpkin subscriber? If not you can sign up here. Monthly kits at 19.95 USD (includes shipping).

Ready for some inspiration? If you are traveling this hop in order you just arrived from Melissa Davies. Next up is Rachel Tessman. See the full link up to this hop below and thanks so much for visiting!

Blended Seasons - What Will You Stamp 183

August 27, 2018

I've been a little MIA on the What Will You Stamp front. It seems I haven't had many of the sets for the last few challenges. Ah well, that's how it goes sometimes.

The challenge set this week is Blended Seasons. I certainly have this set and have been using it a TON! You can see all of my Blended Seasons projects along with more projects from other Stampin' Up! Artisan Design team members on our special Blended Seasons Pinterest board here.

Today I am sharing two fall cards I've created with the set. There are two leaf images in the set and I've opted to showcase on one each card. Do you like this set? If so, grab it this week as it will no longer be available after August 31st.

Now, off you go. Check out what the WWYS team has created using this set. Want to play along with us? Tag your projects #wwys183 . Happy Stamping!

Making Everyday Bright- Global Design Project - Color Challenge #GDP153

August 27, 2018

Check out this color combo! I find it super fresh and fun (Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Suede). This color combo happens to be this week's the Global Design Project challenge, are you ready to try it out?

I opted to use a new stamp set called Making Everyday Bright from the upcoming Holiday Mini catalog. This set, and all other Holiday goodies, are available to purchase beginning September 5th.

Making Everyday Bright is a photopolymer stamp set. It has so many images that will work for any occasion. AND this set coordinates with the Christmas Bulb Builder punch. I used the feather image from the set and colored with Stampin' Blends. Each of these colors in this challenge combo has a Blend! Additional supplies are listed out for you below.

Are you ready to see more inspiration in these colors? The GDP design team WOWs again. I love everything they made. Check it out. #gdp153
