Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Painted Petals

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to our July Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!  Tonight we are sharing alternative project ideas for the Painted Petals kit. We are also launching a new look in our logo, what do you think?!?

This is the instructional unboxing video from Stampin' Up!

Now I will show you what I made!

I used the yellow florals card base and cut 4" wide off of the back of the card base, set it aside.  Then the card front had a strip of the back showing I cut 1/2" off off of the card front right side and 1/4" off of the bottom edge. This became the front layer that I adhered to a Daffodil Delight card base 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored and folded at 4-1/4".  I know this is simple but I really liked the green stripe along the left edge with the "embossed" score line from the intended fold.

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the card front and embellished with several of the clear sequins. Simple is so beautiful!

My next card features the add-on dies Every Celebration that are offered to subscribers to purchase and coordinate with the July, August, September Paper Pumpkin kits. 

I stamped the flowers with Gray Granite Stampin' Pad on Basic White card stock and then cut it out with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.

I used Blender Pens with Melon Mambo, Berry Burst, and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Pads to color in the image.  The backgound layer is the backside of the card base that I cut off earlier. 

I used a Thick Basic White card base for this card. The sentiment label is from the kit with several sparkly sequins, of course!

Painted Petals Watercolors

Watercolor effects are stunning with this Painted Petals stamp set.  They make a beautiful image but you can also use your Stampin' Spritzers to create an even more dreamy, mottled watercolor effect.

The lovely Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper is the perfect coordinating layer for designs with the stamps.

And this Spring Flowers embossing folder adds an elegant touch of texture.

Painted Petals stamp set is super simple to use in photopolymer.  

Also available in clear or wood mount.

Creative Crew Blog Hop

Time for some Blog Hop fun!

I have been nominated by my friend Jen, The Stamp Diva, over at The Stamp Diva by Jen Guarino, to participate in the Creative Crew Blog Hop! Jen and I have been friends for just over a year. We met through a mutual friend at church.  Then via Facebook I discovered that she was recruiting for Stampin' Up!   The free product got me interested, the excellence of product quality and color coordination got me hooked.  And here I am now running a business!

The rules of the blog hop are as follows:

1. Create a project exclusive to the Creative Crew Blog Hop

2. to answer a few questions

3. to nominate (2) stampers that inspire me! 

Here is my project made special for this blog hop only!

Outside by my beautiful crocuses.  The lighting here shows the large dot embossing on the black card stock base.

Here is another outdoor lighting shot, look at those rhinestones sparkle!



















Back inside is the final shot .

The sentiment is the soul of the creation.  This sentiment is from the Painted Petals stamp set in the Occasions catalog.  I stamped it on Whisper White and then used the Scallop Tag Topper punch to create the wonderful curvy edge.  And I sponged Coastal Cabana to add texture and color coordination to the designer series paper.

Rhinestones add "bling" to step up the wow-effect for some sparkle!

I love the whimsy and cheery colors in the "Best Year Ever" Designer Series Paper featured in the Sale-a-brations booklet.  It is free with a $50 product order!  The ribbon is also in the Sale-a-brations booklet and comes in the "Best Year Ever" Accessory Pack: 3 spools of colored ribbon and matching buttons!

The background layer is created with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder to echo the dots in the Designer Series Paper and tie it all together!

Now, for the questions:

1. What are you working on? 

I am currently working on two raffles prizes that are fun boxes and beautiful fresh flowers.  I am very excited for these projects, come back for pictures in 2 weeks!  Soon I will be preparing for Mothers' Day classes.

2. How does your work differ from others in your genre?  

I am fairly traditional and contemporary in crafting  But I am not trendy or very faddish - I work with things that I really love and steer clear of the rest.

3. Why do you create what you do? 

I create for the stress relief, energy and joy that I find in my papercrafts.  I love to see my creations bless others and reflect my gratitude and joy in our relationship.

4. How does your creative process work?

I am not afraid to CASE (copy and share everything) other peoples' designs and then add my tweaks to personalize it with my style.  I often get ideas from other crafters and then my mind starts percolating with inspiration to make it mine.  Occasionally a stamp set will come along and I will know immediately what project it will be and it symbolizes a story in my life.

My nominations for next week are two talented crafters. The first is Stephanie Mips  at "Stephanie's Paper Palace."  She has beautiful ideas for her designs.  Her blog is newer and is already filled with fun creations.

The second nomination is Sharon Wren from "Rocky Mountain Hi Stamping!"  We met online via our Stampin' Up! team.  I love to see her designs on her blog or Pinterest, you will also think that her work is lovely.

Be sure to check their blogs NEXT Monday, March 2nd for amazing creations. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you feel inspired to create and share some stamping projects with your loved ones.  I would love to hear from you - please leave a comment here about my card and be sure to subscribe to the blog so that you never miss another post!

Have an inspired day!
