OSAT Blog Hop Happiness Is

Welcome to the OSAT January Blog Hop titled Happiness Is!  We haven't hopped since November and I bet you have missed us.  I've missed hopping so lets get started.  I chose to use my favorite stamp set from the new mini catalog.......Happy Hedgehogs.

Hedgehogs certainly bring me happiness.  I love hedgehogs as most of you know if you've followed my blog for anytime and this new set is no exception.  While I didn't use the punch on my projects I love that there is a matching punch for this set.  I used my new favorite dies Picture This to make my card.  This is a fun die set to use on lots of projects.  Here's just a little tip on using this die and getting your images to line up.  I use a pencil to lightly draw the circles on the piece that I am stamping my images on,  I can then stamp and be sure that I'm not stamping in my other circles or I can use a circle mask to make sure I don't stamp in those spaces.  I colored images in using my favorite form of coloring, our Stampin' Blends.  I've listed the colors below.  The new brass butterflies in the mini catalog are so cute and they go perfectly with this set as well.  

I decided for my 3D project I would do a wine bottle tag.  Not that wine brings happiness, but getting a gift of wine is a treat for my hubby and I as we aren't really drinkers and a good bottle of wine is a treat, especially if you know the kind of wine a person likes.  I used the bird from the same set and the papers and embellishments are the same as well.  The only thing that I used from another set is the words on the tag.  They are from the new set Eden's Garden.  

I hope you've enjoyed my projects and will continue the hop using the list below.  Thanks so much for hopping along.

Blessings

OSAT Blog Hop Season of Cheer

Welcome to the OSAT November Blog Hop!  I love the November hop because it's all about the holidays.  I chose one of my favorite bundles in the current mini catalog.  I used the suite Sweet Stockings. This adorable card was inspired by my sweet grandpups, Captian Morgan, Gunner Scott and June Bug Elizabeth. 

This card may seem hard, but the dies make this card so easy to make and our wonderful blends make it fun to color. 

My 3D project was pretty simple to do as well.  I did use a retired die from Stampin'Up!, but you could find a stocking pattern on the internet or even draw one yourself to make this.  I featured the Sweet Stockings DSP for my focal image on the stocking.  I just fussy cut one of the cute pups from the paper.  I stamped a background on the stocking using a stamp from the set and the white top, heel and toe pieces I embossed with the one embossing folder from the Wintery 3D embossing folder.  I will list all the items used at the bottom of this post and you can purchase any of them from my store. I wanted to put some of the veggie treats that grandpa Frank buys for the babies, but we didn't have any on hand.  They'll be home for Thanksgiving so I guess he better stock up.  I added their names to the stockings on the card to make it even more personalized.

Here is my oldest daughter Lindsay and the three pupper dogs. Love all these babies so much!

Hope you will continue to follow the rest of the hop by clicking on the names in the list below.  Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
