Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop July 2019

Good afternoon my creative friends.  Welcome to the July Home Decor SU Blog Hop!!!  It's been awhile since I've hopped with this amazing group, but I've been saving this project just for this hop.  I had so much fun making this and it's been hard to not share it since I made it several weeks ago.  So here we go.


This is the board that this was made with.  It is called Masonite board.  I had some of this board that was used for a vacation bible school one year.  You can find it at your local lumber supply store.  My dad cut these boards at the time and they measure 4" x 10".  He also had drilled the holes as well.  This is a sturdy, but fairly light weight board.


Here are some of the details, but I will post all the supplies used on the bottom of this post.  The DSP was cut to fit 4" x 10".  The welcome words were cut 6 times and then glued on top of each other to give dimension to the words.  The center of the flowers were cut with the Magnolia Memory dies and the outer part of the flower was from the Hot Air Balloom punch. I also brought in the Rooted with Nature for some of the leaves to give variety.  I used my bone folder on all the flower pieces and leaves to give them dimension.   I even found myself squeezing the ends of the leaves to make them more realistic looking, so don't be afraid to scrunch a little.



Currently I have this hanging in our kitchen from our clock.  Our kitchen is mostly windows and cupboards so I don't have a lot of wall space, but this is right in view when you walk into our kitchen so it works for me.   It draws attention that way.

Well thanks for hopping with me today.  Be sure and follow the rest of the hop around to see some amazing projects,
Blessings,
Renee

OSAT Blog Hop Down on the Farm


Welcome to the OSAT July Blog Hop!!!! Can you believe it's July already?   I know I can't.  Seems like we just finally got summer weather here in Michigan, but what could be a better theme than down on the farm.  While we are not farmers, we do live in the country and our place was once a working farm.  We are surrounded by corn in the fields this year and I love that because it helps cut down on the wind.  I knew immediately what stamp sets I wanted to use with this theme, but it took e a little time to come up with my projects, but I'm happy with how they turned out and I hope you are too.  So here we go!!!!


I actually used three stamp sets on this card.  I first chose the cow from Over the Moon set and then picked the pig from This Little Piggy and last, but not least I had to use Barn Door.  I have a list and links to all the items used at the end of this post.  I did fussy cut the cow and the pig, but I think it was worth it in this case as I was able to pop them up on Dimensionals to make them really pop. I then layered it all on our beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series paper.  This paper is so beautiful and versatile.  It can be country with the wood grain sheets or elegant and vintage with the beautiful flowered sheets.  Take a look at the sheets by clicking on the product link below.


For my 3D project, I chose one of our simple white pizza boxes and again that beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty DSP.  The sheet that you cut apart and can use the individual pieces worked great on covering this box.  Wouldn't this box and its sentiment be perfect to give to someone that you care about?


I used the various words from these sets to come up with my sentiment.  The This Little Piggy set has the words attached to the images, but I quickly changed that by cutting them apart so that I can mix up the words with the different images and that's what made this so easy to do.

 

I truly hope you've enjoyed these projects as much as I enjoyed making them for you! Be sure and click on the list below to follow the hop.

Blessings,
Renee
