Stampin' UP! Artisan Blog Hop - Tin of Tags

Welcome back to the 2015-2016 Stampin' UP Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! 
I am so blessed that I get to create and inspire with these amazing Stampin' UP products and share with you all here! Remember that every other Thursday, all 20 of us from all over the world will post on our blogs an inspiring project for you! Be sure to get Google Translate so that you can read in your language all about how they created their projects too. Please keep hoppin' thru them all....you do not want to miss anyone of these amazing ladies!

This week we are showcasing our Artisan projects for the Stampin' UP Facebook Page this month. For this project, the team was to focus on the Tin of Tags Project Kit or the Here's to Cheers Stamp Set. As soon as I saw the Tin of Tags Project Kit and the coordinating Stamp Set, I was very interested. Then I put it together and I fell in LOVE! You must get this Project Kit for your holiday gift packaging!

I mean look at these adorable tags! The only thing I did different was to use my new favorite color Emerald Envy in this color combo.

Then I made this card with one of the tags, the washi tape, sequins and the stamp image. So quick and easy! The evergreen stamp image is from the Christmas Pines Stamp Set.

I grabbed a strip of the Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper and wrapped it around the Real Red tin itself. I embossed in white the stamp image on the Emerald Envy circle. See the little star? I took the red dotted washi tape, covered a piece of Whisper White cardstock and then die cut it out with a star. Add to a few pieces from the kit and you have a perfect coordinating tag!

Stampin' Up Artisan Blog Hop - Botanical Pineapple Thanks

Welcome back to the 2015-2016 Stampin' UP Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! 
I am so blessed that I get to create and inspire with these amazing Stampin' UP products and share with you all here for another wonderful year! Remember that every other Thursday, all 20 of us from all over the world will post on our blogs an inspiring project for you! Be sure to get Google Translate so that you can read in your language all about how they created their projects too. Please keep hoppin' thru them all....you do not want to miss anyone of these amazing ladies!

This week we are showcasing our Artisan projects for the Stampin' UP Facebook Page this month. For this project, the team was to focus on May Flowers with many different floral products available right now!  I used the Botanical Builder Framelits and came up with something floral with a tropical feel! Summer is around the corner in our end of the world!

I first took my large Clear Block E and smashed my Blushing Bride Classic Ink Pad all over it. Next I sprayed it with water in my Stampin' Spritzer. Place it on a piece of 3 3/4" x 5" Shimmery White Cardstock. Pull it off carefully. Let it dry completely. I love the watercolor effect this technique gives with such ease! I added some flower images from the Botanical Blooms Stamp set on the dry pink rectangle with more Blushing Bride Ink for a little dimension. The flowers are die cut from the Botanical Builder Framelits and I used Calypso Coral and Watermelon Wonder cardstock. I also used the same framelits to make the "pineapple" leaves in Old Olive cardstock. The Daffodil Delight cardstock pineapple is punched from the Large Oval Punch, trimmed off the bottom a bit and stamped with an image from the Sparkle and Shine Stamp set that created the pattern pineapple look. The greeting and banner comes from the Endless Thanks Stamp set.

And it would not be complete without a piece of pineapple on a stick! I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock with the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits. I stamped the v images from the Sparkle and Shine Stamp set with Daffodil Delight Classic Ink pad. I did add more v's with a Daffodil Delight Stampin Write Marker in the spaces that was missing from the stamp set when I stamped all over the cut box piece. More Old Olive leaves and Watermelon Wonder flower with white center added with Mini Glue Dots. Add a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow. The straw is one I got at a local party supply store. You can see how to add the straw to the Curvy Keepsake Box HERE. (One of my very own favorite projects ever!) I thought these would be so cute for a summer party filled with yummy dried pineapple pieces or tropical flavored candies!

Going Global Graduation with the Creation Station Blog Hop

The Creation Station Design and Blog Hop is back this month! I was beyond thrilled to be asked to join this group of talented women for a monthly blog hop to inspire you with creative top of the line projects with a theme from all around the globe! We hope that you hop thru each blog and leave comments as we all love to hear praise about our creations!

This month we were to cover a masculine theme for a birthday, thank you or sympathy using the Going Global Suite or the In the Meadow Stamp set with Kraft cardstock. Well how about a Graduation theme with Going Global Suite and Kraft cardstock? I thought it would fit and it also fits my need for graduation cards and gift card packaging. You see I have a high school graduate in my house this year!!! I am stocking up on tissue boxes already! Hang on to your seat and stay a bit....lots to see on this post!

Here is my first double giftcard holder. It is seriously so easy to make with just a few items! The greeting comes from the Beautiful Ride Stamp set.

It opens up to reveal two giftcards. 

  It is a single 6" x 6" piece from the Global Places DSP stack. Score vertical at 3" and horizontal at 2". Cut a V slit at the bottom as shown in the picture.  

Add Tear and Tape Adhesive just on the inside bottom pieces. This creates the pockets to hold the gift cards in place.

The next gift card holder is for a single gift card. I love the shaker element on this one! Can you see the Going Global Stamp set map image in there? I used the Metallic Sequins Assortment on the inside.

To create this one, take a piece of the 6" x 6" Going Places DSP Stack and cut down to 6" x 4 1/2". Then score vertical at 3". 

Add some Tear and Tape Adhesive on one side. Then use a circle punch to make the half hole on one side. Pretty simple and easy too!

And I then created some cards....This one uses the Kraft cardstock, the Going Places DSP Stack, the Going Global Stamp set, lots of circle punches! I loved using the Washi Tape Punch on all of projects. I am sad to say that it is sold out completely, but you can just cut a rectangle instead. If you want to make that Graduation cap with punches, just search it on Pinterest. I could not believe how easy to make!

 To create this graduation cap card, I made a tassel out of the Baker's Twine Combo Pack with the Mint Macaron/Basic Black. The background DSP is the Going Places DSP Stack.

Here is a tip: Use the longest clear block to wrap the baker's twine around for the tassel length. I just looked up on Pinterest how to make them. Again, so simple!

And lastly, one more special card for my Megan. Love this car in the Beautiful Ride Stamp set! It fits her well as she has her very own Beetle! I pulled some threads of that same Mint Macaron Baker's Twine and wrapped them around the stamped luggage.

The journey begins for her.....let me go grab a tissue.
