Watermelon Trio Of Projects!


I got a little carried away with an idea. The idea was meant to be used on the Wood Crate Die project and then I added a coordinating card and then I added coordinating clothespins with a cute cello bag topper and I made myself stop there!



All of my project use Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Emerald Envy Inks. At first I was going to use some punch art for the seeds, but remembered a stamp image from the Garden In Bloom stamp set that I could use. The image is meant to be used as flower petals but I thought it would look great as my watermelon seeds:



The sentiment from the Cool Treats stamp set was so perfect for my card. I also added Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon at the bottom of my card to finish it off.


Doesn't the Wood Crate Die work well for my treat holder? I cut two pieces using Whisper White Cardstock and sponged the inks like I did on the card, added the stamped seeds and once the crate was assembled, I added a sponged handle to the top with a mini tag:




To finish off my trio, I sponged the same theme with ink onto four clothespins and packaged them by clipping them on a sponged Lots Of Labels Die shape that was inserted into a cello bag and added a topper to the bag. 



Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

Create with Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop!



Hi Everyone and welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create with Connie & Mary. We have an interesting theme today. We are all using a Christmas stamp set for a non-Christmas card. For my card I used the Christmas Pines stamp set to create a fall-themed thank you card:


Once all of my cardstock and stamped layers were glued in place, I snuck in a few of the Touches Of Nature Elements. So cute!


Here are the measurements for my layers:

  • Card Base: Crushed Curry Cardstock 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Score at 4-1/4" and fold.
  • Layer #2: Cajun Craze Cardstock 5-1/4" x 4". 
  • Layer #3: Whisper White Cardstock 5" x 3-3/4". 
  • Stamp the two pine branch images in Cajun Craze Ink.
  • Add the remaining stamped and cut layers and then glue the Touches Of Nature Elements in place. 
  • The knot is from the Burlap Ribbon which I cut a few strands to achieve.
  • The sentiment is stamped using Sahara Sand Ink.

Smitten with lots of Mittens!

You are going to be smitten with today's post because I am using the Smitten Mittens Bundle. This bundle includes the Smitten Mittens stamp set and the Many Mittens Framelits Dies. Both items will be available for purchase on September 1st in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.



This card is quite simple to make. I cut out two pairs of mittens using Soft Sky Cardstock and Melon Mambo Cardstock...yes you read that correctly! There are two mitten dies so you can cut two at the same time! I arranged and glued all of the mittens on the Whisper White Cardstock and trimmed to fit. Once everything was glued in place, I stamped the images on and sentiment on each mitten using Basic Black Ink:




The best part was completing my card with the cutest little bow from the In Color Bitty Bows. Just peel the backing off and press in place, that simple!

Stampin' Dreams August Blog Hop!



Hi Everyone and welcome to my blog today! I am participating in an August Blog Hop for Stampin'  Dreams with a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. You are currently visiting Debbie Henderson from the USA. 


For August we are all showing you our favorite In Color. This posed to be a little difficult for me because I just love all five of our newest In Colors. For today I am showing you Lemon Lime Twist with just a hint of Powder Pink:



Today's project uses the Painted Harvest stamp set along with the Leaf Punch. Both products are new and will be available to customers on September 1st. I bet you are all anxious to order from the new Holiday Catalog. 


I stamped some of my images directly on the Whisper White Cardstock layer and then stamped the other images on a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock and hand-cut. All of the hand-cut images have been glued in place with Stampin' Dimensionals for height. Isn't the 3-dimensional look of the flower and leaves spectacular?




I will list all of the products I used on today's card but first, here's the list of all of the participants. Make sure you visit each one to see what favorite In Color will be featured. Remember that you are vising Debbie Henderson and if you click on the name below me, you'll be directed to the next person and they will direct you on their blog also. Thanks for visiting me today!

Pressed Leaves Background Technique!

Dave and I live out in the country and we own 2 acres of property. We have lots and lots of trees and evergreens on our property. I've seen a few cards lately, using the Pressed Leaves Background Technique. I marched my butt outdoors and right to our red maple tree with my scissors and snipped me some gorgeous red maple leaves. I wanted to try this technique and I thought the red maple would be perfect. What do you think?



I ended up snipping three leaves off of one of our trees. I placed two of them on on my Whisper White Cardstock layer, more towards the top. Now, it has hardly rained here all summer in Maine. It has been so dry here all summer so I was a little worried that my leaves may not have had enough moisture in them. Once I ran the first two leaves through the Big Shot Machine, I placed the third one at the bottom left and over the images of the other two leaves and again used my Big Shot Machine.  The layering effect of the leaves worked rather well I think. You can see how dark the second pass turned out on the third leaf:



I think with more moisture, I would have had darker impressions. I also dry-embossed the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder on the Flirty Flamingo Cardstock layer. The background looks quite lovely with the leaf theme I have going on. The two die-cut leaves are from the Seasonal Layers Framelits Dies using Lemon Lime Twist and Early Espresso Cardstocks.



And speaking of leaves, fall is on the way and we have a "Fall Into Savings" Paper Pumpkin promotion going on until September 10th. If you sign up as a new subscriber to Paper Pumpkin, you'll receive your first kit at 50% off!
