Monday Montage #122 Pocket Money

Hello there stampers! Welcome back to another edition of Monday Montage.

I have a cute project to share tonight. A few weeks ago I made a card that had a really intense Prussian Blue Brusho background and a lot of people made reference to me that it looked like denim. So....I figured why not and now here is the denim!

The Pocketful of Sunshine Stamp Set and coordinating Pocket Framelits Dies were the perfect pair for these jeans! To create the card- I made a Prussian Blue Brusho background and a Prussian Blue pocket. Using VersaMark ink- I stamped the stitching onto the pocket and heat embossed it with the Heat Tool and the White Stampin' Emboss Powder. A little HBD tag was added under the right side of the pocket.

A little pocket money was stamped in Pool Party ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. Using the Layering Circles Collection Framelits and the Big Shot- I cut out the larger scalloped circle and the sentiment circle. The sunglasses may be my favorite part of this card. They were created by stamping the sunglasses image in Tuxedo Black onto a piece of Petal Pink card stock. After I cut them out using the sunglasses framelit and the Big Shot- I colored the lenses in using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. I layered it on pretty thick and they took at least 30 minutes to dry but they are super cute!

Such a cute and fun way to give a birthday gift!

OSAT End of Summer Tic Tac Toe

Hey there stampers! Welcome back for another fabulous One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! This month we have a fun theme! It's Tic Tac Toe!

OSAT End Of Summer Tic Tac Toe

For my projects- I chose to create with Ribbon, DSP and Flowers (the whole left side of the tic tac toe board).

Even though summer is quickly winding down I'm not quite ready to let it go just yet! I'm still totally loving all of the gorgeous fun summer colors from the Garden Impressions DSP. For my card- I used Melon Mambo, Shaded Spruce, Petal Pink card stock. For the roses stamped images- I used Petal Pink, Powder Pink and Calypso Coral.

This card is a little different than most cards. I created the card base from a piece of Melon Mambo card stock that measures 5-1/4" x 5-1/2". It is scored at 4-1/4". A piece of Garden Impressions DSP measuring 4" x 5-1/4" was adhered to the back of the 1" panel on the front of the card. Wanna create one of these beauties for yourself? Simply choose your color card stock and DSP and embellish as you wish!

My 3 dimensional project for today is another Mini Tic Tac Box. They are absolutely the cutest little things ever.

I'm sorry the picture is so close up but I wanted to show the detail in the Blossoms Embellishments. They truly are beautiful ❤

I hope you have enjoyed my projects for today! Be sure to follow along on the hop!

You're One of a Kind

Good evening stamping friends! Tonight I brought out an oldie but a goodie to share! I actually had a customer request for the Mini Pillow Boxes that I created last year. She asked for them to be created using the Sea of Textures Product Suite. I'm not sharing them all as they are a surprise but she said I can share these!

These little cuties barely measure 2-1/4" long and only hold 1 piece of chocolate.

Aren't they cute?

I love how tiny they are! As I've said in the past- miniatures are my favorite things. You'd be surprised how something so small can make someone's day!

The DSP used for the Mini Pillow Boxes is called Tranquil Textures DSP. I love this DSP as it has many different patterns and textures. It's colorful and fun too!

So cute and oh so fun! The recipient of these is one lucky duck! Perhaps after the gift is given I will be able to share the rest! They are SUPER cute!

The above picture shows the chocolate that is inside each little treat. These are much smaller than a Hershey's Miniature Candy Bar. They were purchased at Duty Free a few weeks ago on my way home from Canada. When I saw them- I knew I had to buy them! Now I know why! They fit perfectly into these Mini Pillow Boxes!

Thanks for stopping by!

Make a Wish

Hey there stampers! I apologize for the lateness of tonight's post. I have been super busy cleaning today. I swear I must have OCD as things need to put away in a certain way, cleaned in a certain way and I could go on and on. But FINALLY I sat down at my desk to create this fun birthday shaker card.

The Broadway Birthday stamp set and coordinating Broadway Lights Framelits make for some pretty fun cards! Shaker cards are always a huge hit with my friends/family. For this card- I cut out the word Wish and used the negative image to create the front of my shaker.

The card is filled with sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment. I just love them! The sequins come in silver, gold, copper, black and iridescent.

The adorable candles were fussy cut from a piece of the Broadway Bound Specialty DSP. Since this DSP has lots of super fun colors- I wanted to coordinate my stamp/ribbon to match the rest of the suite. Lovely Lipstick and Lemon Lime Twist it was!

Thans for stopping by!

Remember! It's Bonus Days!

Let's Celebrate

Hello stampin' friends! I've been playing around with the Animal Outing Stamp Set recently and wanted to share a cute card that I created. The Animal Outing Stamp Set has a few different animal images but my favorite of them all is the tiny rhino. He's just the sweetest ❤

Isn't he just adorable? I watercolored him in Gray Granite and his little feathery friend in Soft Sea Foam. The scalloped circle layer is also Soft Sea Foam. The Iridescent Sequin Assortment adds the just enough color to bring out the Soft Sea Foam and the Crushed Curry beak on the bird.

Did you know that it's BONUS DAYS?????

What is Bonus Days you ask? It is your chance to earn an extra $5 for every $50 spent! You will receive a coupon code directly from Stampin' UP! to use from September 1-30th.

Monday Montage #121

Hello there stampers! Welcome back to another edition of Monday Montage.

The project I'm sharing tonight is not new. They have actually been around for a few years or so. The candy on the other hand- can't actually be purchased in the USA unless of course you order it through Amazon (which comes with a hefty price).

Mini Tic Tacs are the absolute cutest and when I first saw them on Pinterest I was super bummed that I couldn't find the them anywhere. A few weeks ago my husband and I had taken a trip to Toronto for the weekend and on the way home we decided to stop at Duty Free. As I was browsing around the store, I was so excited to see that they had the Mini Tic Tac's! I couldn't resist buying them! Now I'm thinking I need to plan my next trip to Canada just so I can stop at the Duty Free shop and buy some more! I mean they are less than $10 US for a box of 60. That's a bargain!

Here's a close up of one. I actually made close to 25 of them today. I'm going to a meet & greet on Tuesday in Grand Rapids, MI and I thought I'd take these as a small treat for the other Stampin' UP! Demo's who will be meeting me for dinner.

Yes! They are really tiny. They barely measure 1-3/8" tall. So cute!

Here's a whole lot of them! I'm hoping my fellow demo's will love them! As I said before- these have been around a while. I'm not sure who the original creator of them is however I used a tutorial from Omellie's Designs. (You can see her tutorial here). Since her tutorial was in cm I had to convert it to inches. It wasn't hard to do- just had to work out the measurements!

There are 2 AWESOME promotions going on right now! There is a DSP sale (when you buy 3 you get 1 free! Applies to specific patterns only) and a smokin' hot promo when you join my team! See below for details!

New recruits get their choice of an Ink Pad color family in addition to being able to select your choice of $125 in products for your starter kit! Contact me for more details! Ready to join? Simply click the JOIN MY TEAM button on the right side bar! I've had a lot of questions in regards to joining my team. There are no obligations. Try it out- if you don't like it then the worst that happens is that you have $125 in product as well as an entire color family of ink pads to add to your collection. I promise it's that simple!
