Monday Montage 46

        Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  If I am your first stop on the hop- great!  If not- please use the links provided at the bottom of this post to navigate back to Breelin Renwick or next to Dara Gloden.  I know both have fabulous projects to share with you!

As I mentioned in a previous post- I was asked to do a demonstration at the Inking Idaho on the Road event that was held in Columbus, OH last weekend.  In addition to doing a demonstration, I was also asked to create a few projects to share for the display boards.  Here is one of the projects I created to share.  It's a set of 3 Curvy Keepsakes boxes in tray with an adorable gift tag.

I made a ton of these last year for the craft shows that I was at and they were a HUGE hit!  Isn't it cute?

The picture below shows just the boxes.  They are Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive.  Before I assembled them- I stamped the individual pieces with the new Dots for Days stamp.  Quite possibly my new favorite background stamp!

Here is a close up of the tag:

 I'm so happy that the White Christmas stamp set made it into the new Annual Catalog.  It was my favorite Christmas stamp set last year!

Yes- I know it's a bit early for Christmas but I loved this project and wanted to share it with you!  Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to finish out the hop!  You won't be disappointed!

I'm So Lucky To Call You My Friend

Have you ever used a set so much that you think you've made just about everything there is to create with it? That's how I thought I was with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set then BAM!  Another fabulous idea popped into my head!  Now granted it was roughly 3:47 am when the idea came to mind so the sketch that I drew wasn't exactly top notch drawing.  

I'm so happy my card turned out much better than my sketch did!  I LOVE the adorable leaves I created for the tree.  The Itty Bitty Accents floral punch was the perfect tool to create the leaves.  After I had punched a bunch of them out- I used my Stampin' Pierce Mat and the bottom of a Sharpie marker to break the fibers in the card stock down.  There are roughly 25 itty bitty flowers that I've adhered at various angles to create the tree. 

 The image below shows the dimension on the tree a little better.  It truly is a 3-dimensional tree!  

If you look closely in the first picture- you'll see that my birds are facing opposite directions.  To do this- I stamped the bird onto a Clear Block and then stamped the Clear Block onto my DSP.  I then punched it out with the Tree Builder Punch and it was good to go!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Stampin'!

Inking Idaho on the Road- Columbus Event

Hello everyone! Last weekend was the Inking Idaho on the Road- Columbus, OH event. We had such a great time! I wanted to share a few display's with you as well as one of my projects that I made for the event. My projects were all created using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and the coordinating Tree Builder punch. Below is just one of the samples that I shared.

These adorable little mini milk bottles are perfect for a birthday party!  They are each adorned with an adorable cupcake embellishment and a paper straw with a banner that reads Happy Birthday.  Who wouldn't love to drink from one of these little cuties?

The pictures below are just a few of the beautiful displays that were set up for attendees to enjoy!  

These were the make and takes for the day: 

Another display:

Here is one of the card display boards.  In the upper left corner you can see a little mobile that I created using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set.  It was SUPER cute!

 All attendees had a fabulous time!  The fabulous Becky Roberts from Inking Idaho was even there!  Can't wait to do it all again next year!  Will you be joining us then?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Every cloud has a silver lining

Hello there!  A few months ago I watched a video on the Stampin' Up! Demo site that was from the Stampin' Up! South Pacific convention.  In that video was the most adorable little mobile created using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and the Tree Builder punch.  I LOVED it and couldn't wait to CASE it to share with you all!

Isn't it just adorable?

Did someone say sprinkles?

Hello there!  It's all about sprinkles in my house lately!  Sprinkles of Life, Sprinkles on Top, sprinkles on ice cream, sprinkles, sprinkles, SPRINKLES!  It seems that everywhere I look I find more and more (you guessed it!) SPRINKLES!  

My project tonight was created with the Sprinkles on Top stamp set.  This adorable little set is one of the newest additions from the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog.  If you still do not have your own copy of this catalog in your hot little hands then you need to email me right away!  I am happy to send one to you at no charge!

This set is just so stinkin' cute-the sentiments are sweet and the doughnuts are uber cute!  The 3/4" Circle punch is the perfect size to create these mini doughnuts!  Pair it with the Cherry on Top DSP stack and you're all set!

I hope you've enjoyed the project for today!

Will you be at the Inking Idaho on the Road event in Columbus, OH this weekend?  If so be sure to say HI!  I'd love to meet you!

Monday Montage #45

        Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop.  I'm so happy you've joined us!  If I am your first stop on the hop- great!  If not- please use the links provided at the bottom of this post to navigate back to the lovely Cathy Casey or next to the wonderful Dara Gloden.  Both ladies have awesome projects in store!

My card for tonight is another project that was created with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set.  Over the next few weeks I will be sharing a LOT of projects using this stamp set as I was asked to do a demonstration for the upcoming Inking Idaho on the Road event in Columbus, OH.  That event takes place this coming weekend and boy am I ever nervous!  I do however have a ton of amazing samples to share with you!  Hope to see you there!

The Sprinkles of Life set has a ton of options other than birthday themed projects! The card above is one of my favorites that I've created so far.  I love the sentiment "Every cloud has a silver lining- you just have to look up to see it".  I tend to be a worrier of all things so this card is perfect for me!
