Card: Tee it Up!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! A happy Tuesday to all my readers! The weather in Austin has been fantastic as of late and I thought it was the perfect time to post this card featuring my family's favorite sport...Golf! We love a nice sunny day for golf and I know I have several family members who cannot wait to get my little on the golf course...LPGA here we come! I am ready for her to get on the golf course as well because we are one swing away from knocking lots of important things off of shelves :/  

I thought it was a great time to get ahead on some Birthday or maybe Father's Day cards for the important guys in my life.  And let me tell you that is easy with the all new Country Club Designer Series Paper (#151314).  

And here is today's project...

I started this card with a base of Night of Navy Cardstock and then another layer of Crumb Cake.  Looks to me like water and sand and what a perfect way to showcase the tees and golf balls on the DSP.  I just wanted to let the DSP shine on this one, so overall it was a pretty simple card to create.  You can't really see it in the photo, but I did pop the front layer between the Night of Navy and the Crumb Cake with Stampin' Dimensionals.

And don't forget about the inside of your card! Not one to waste a bit of this DSP, I added a side strip down the inside of the card!   

Card Details
Size: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Paper: Night of Navy Cardstock, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Country Club DSP, Whisper White Cardstock, Real Red Cardstock, Crushed Curry Cardstock

It's #SimpleStamping Time!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! We are back to school, back to work and back to our usual shenanigans as a family now that we have said goodbye to the Christmas holidays.  With all of those things going on, I am always thankful to have some time to reset for the week and enjoy some creative time.

That being said...sometimes I don't have THAT much time to create so welcome to my first edition of #simplestamping! I love the idea of the #simplestamping challenge because it helps to get back to basics while showcasing some beautiful stamps, satisfying that creative itch and just having fun with paper, ink and stamps! I took this opportunity to showcase the gorgeous Thoughtful Blooms set featured in the 2020 Sale-A-Bration catalog!

And here is today's project...

Talk about a simple and fun stamping project.  I love the clean, white background with the beautiful color of flowers.  It makes me think of spring and with this dreary, winter weather it's exactly what I need.

This card starts with a base of Crumb Cake layered with Whisper White and a popped strip of Neutrals 6" x 6" DSP.  The twine bow gives that look of simple, spring bouquet.  I pulled the ink colors from my stash of retired products, but they are still some of my favorites...Powder Pink, Fresh Fig and Garden Green.  The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake to coordinate with the base cardstock.  While my ink colors are on the older side, my stamp set is from the all new 2020 Sale-A-Brations catalog...Thoughtful Blooms.  You can get this set for free with a $50 Sale-A-Bration purchase.  For further details on all the fun with Sale-A-Bration, check out my post HERE.

Sampler: From My Heart Suite

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! I hope everyone enjoyed a peaceful and beautiful Christmas holiday! The family and I have been relaxing and spending some quality time before we head back to school and work.  I am grateful for this time over the last few days. 

On the crafting front, I have to say that I am ready to move on from Christmas crafting! I had such fun this year creating mini pizza box decor, candle toppers, gift card holders and of course plenty of Christmas cards...but it's time to move beyond greens, reds and whites!  Time to start working on those birthday cards for the stash, Valentine's Day (it's right around the corner) and just some general, fun and creative projects.  And not to worry...Stampin' Up! has you covered! Starting January 3rd, Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration begins!  Be sure to check back FRIDAY for more details!

Today's project features a sneak peek at the all new From my Heart Suite from the Mini Catalog available January 3rd! I am so excited for this suite and all of its possibilities.

And here is today's project...

I wanted to showcase a sampler as my first project with these new products because what better way to show off all that they can do!  This sampler starts with a simple 8" x 8" white shadowbox frame.  The From My Heart Specialty DSP has a chance to really shine in this sampler and is featured as the background in three of the four blocks.  Each block starts with a Flirty Flamingo cardstock base and is then layered with DSP, Whisper White cardstock or vellum.  This DSP coordinates beautifully with Flirty Flamingo and Real Red cardstock and ink pads.  The heart punches and heart doilies are showcased in the larger bottom block.  I love how the doilies coordinate with the punches and it is wonderful to have such versatility with the products.  For extra detail, I've added the 3/8" Real Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon to the middle block.  The Faceted Gems add the finishing touches to the stamped heart and sentiment. 

*Crafter's Note: The "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment is from the "Meant To Be" Cling Stamp Set available in the Annual Catalog (Product #148626)*

Spotlight Saturday: Botanical Butterfly DSP

Hello and Welcome!

I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start! We had some beautiful weather here in Austin today and we were so excited to be able to go out and enjoy it.  We hit up the neighborhood block party and enjoyed some delicious BBQ followed by yummy ice cream...a good time was had by all!

It was nice to be back in town as the little one and I escaped the last of the winter weather (hopefully) with a trip up to the grandparents house! A few days with Grandma and Grandpa can always make things better when it's 20 degrees outside...no we do not do well in the cold!

Anyways, I'm back to blogging and card making after a brief "vaca" and excited to share another completed gift set.  I loved the Botanical Butterfly DSP "Thanks" card that I posted a few days ago, so I decided to make a few more to really highlight that beautiful paper. 

So here are today's cards...

Isn't that paper just beautiful!? You can check out the dimensions and card details at the original post.
