OSAT Blog Hop Pretty in Pink

Welcome to the OSAT July Pretty in Pink blog hop!!! I hope this hop finds you doing well and enjoying summer. It is extremely and unusually hot here in the Thumb of Michigan. Thankfully our pool is open and the air conditioning is running. My stamping room is in the basement, but unfortunately it's so hot that the basement isn't that cool, although with a fan running it's not bad. I was happy to get to creating for this hop. I chose all new products and colors from the new catalog. I hope you like them.

I actually started with my 3D project so that is what I will start with first in my post. I knew I wanted to base my project around the Flowers for Every Season DSP & the matching Memories & More cards. This pizza box is covered using Basic Black as the back layer and I cut one of the Memories & More cards to layer on top. I wanted to bring out the white of the pizza box and the card did just that since the DSP didn't have a pink flower sheet with a white background. I then stamped the flower from the Tasteful Touches stamp set with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I colored them in using the Magenta Madness Blends. Very easy. I hand cut them out since there isn't a die shape for this flower, but they were quick and easy to cut out. I used the Forever Flourishing dies to cut the greens. I then used the new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to make my label using Whisper White cardstock. The In Color Enamel Dots and a bow using the Forever Greenery gold cord finished it off. I popped the left flower up with Dimensionals and the right flower with doubled up Dimensionals.

The card used pretty much the same layout except I used embossing folders for the Magenta Madness layer. I put it through with the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder and then put it through twice, one on each end using the one embossing folder from the Greenery embossing folder. The third layer I cut the Flowers for Every Season DSP using the Ornate Layers die. Instead of the In Color Enamel Dots, I decided to use the Gilded Gems to make them pop with the busyness of the DSP.

I know these projects are probably a little fussier than most, but I sure had a lot of fun making them. You could replicate them easily since I've already figured all the steps out for you. LOL!

Blessings,

Renee

Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop June 2020

Welcome to the Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop!!! It's been quite some time since I've hopped with this amazing group and I'm so happy to be back with you all today. I recently went shopping at a local store this is unfortunately closing its doors after barely getting a chance to get going in our area. The name of the store is Gordman's. It may just be a Michigan store, I'm not sure, but that have many great items and they are now on sale. While there I found this adorable little 3D picture frame. I like using glass in my frames because it keeps my projects nicer, but when using embellishments it really doesn't make it very easy to do so. So when I found this one I knew I had to have it because it allows that extra room by having two pieces of glass in it.

I wanted to put something in the frame that means a lot to me. Within the last couple of years I found out some info about elephants that I find so fascinating. Momma elephants and their babies never forget about each other no matter how old either one of them gets or even if they are separated for some reason they still know each other upon reuniting. That just touches this momma's heart. I have two daughters and they mean the world to me and one of them actually gave me an elephant charm that looks real similar to this stamped image. That's why I chose this set to use for this months project.

I stamped the elephants from the set Wildly Happy in Memento Black Ink and colored the images in with light and dark Smoky Slate Blend pens. I stamped the words from Lovely You in Night of Navy ink. I layered that Whisper White piece on a just slightly larger piece of Night of Navy cardstock. I used Dimensioals to adhere it to a piece of Old Olive cardstock that I stamped with the Very Versailles leaf image and Old Olive ink. I layered that onto a Night of Navy DSP. It's barely noticable, but you can see it better in person. To finish it off I added leaf embellishments from the In Good Taste Elements and also some Elegant Faceted Gems that I colored with the Dark Old Olive Blend pen. After inserting my image into the frame, I felt like it needed just a bit of decoration on the frame. I used the 5/8" Burlap Ribbon to wrap around the frame completely and then made bow loops on top. *(After getting this all done and typed up, I realized this ribbon has been retired, but you could use any ribbon to tie around your frame. Sorry about that.)

I think I might put this little frame on my nightstand just as a little reminder to myself that even though my girls are separated from me at times and I miss them when they are, that they are always in my heart. Yes, being a mom was the one thing I wanted most in life and even though they are grown and off on their own, I carry them everyday in my heart. I love you Lindsay and Brooke, forever and always and then some.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll continue onto the next blog to see what amazing projects are in store for you there.

Blessings,
Renee

OSAT Blog Hop Chick Ewe Out

Welcome to the March OSAT blog hop!!! It's almost spring here and we've had a couple of spring like days in the last week, but Ol' Man Winter probably show his face one more time or two. My projects are very spring like. I hope you enjoy them!

For my projects I decided to bring out my favorite, Fable Friends stamp set. A little coloring and a little fussy cutting and I have what I think are adorable projects. First lets look at my card. It started with the Buffalo Plaid background stamped in Petal Pink and cut out with the Stitched so Sweetly dies and then I went from there. That piece was actually in my little box of pieces parts of elements that were too good to throw away. I used that and then built my card around it.

You'll be able to find all the products and colors used on my projects, below.

I just love this 3D project I've been making some twine covered eggs to add into my dough bowl that I decorate for the different holidays and seasons so I thought, why not carry it over into my stamping as well I covered a plastic egg with twine that I purchased at the Ben Franklin store. It's a lot heavier twine than what SU carries and it covers quicker than fine twine. I used hot glue to attach it. I then took the 3/8" scalloped lace trim and and glued it around the egg. I did once around with the scallops facing down and the next time with them facing up. I then tied two of the Bird Ballad Trinkets around it using Linen Thread. I then attached my colored bunny with a bit of hot glue because I wanted to make sure it stays on well. A fun and fairly quick Easter decoration.

Isn't he just the cutest? I added a bit of the Shimmery Crystal Effects to his ears.

Well I hope you have enjoyed my projects and that you will continue on the hop by clicking on the name below mine in the list below. Thanks for stopping.
