NC Demos Blog Hop July 2019

After taking a year to finish moving, who are we kidding - I am still not done, but I am finally finding some time to get back to my blog! I have a small window of time to participate in my first ever Blog Hop. Since moving to North Carolina I have been generously welcomed by a fantastic group called NC Stampin' Up Demos and I have been invited to join their hop for July! So welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop! 

So, here is the challenge for the July Blog Hop:
  1. Find a project you love and that inspires you. It can be a card, decor item, 3D item, tag, gift bag. Whatever you like!
  2. Make the project EXACTLY like it is.
  3. Then make a second project inspired by your CASEed project. Make it your own. Change the paper, stamp set, colors, embellishments etc....
Ok, one small problem - the one I love I did not have the stamp set for - so I am going to show you my inspiration always - my good friend Tracy Marie Lewis over at Stuff-n-Thingz. She made this beautiful card using the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set, simply stunning!!! She is focusing on #simplestamping and I think she nailed it with this card! 



For my set, I love the Abstract Impressions set and thought I could replicate the pattern of the flowers with it, one small problem, The Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set is a distINKtive set so the colors appear very soft, where the Abstract Impressions set is full on color! But I love how it came out and I only had to punch a circle as a mask, so not too labor intensive! The edges are scuffed up with a scissor edge and the colors for this card are Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight and Lovely Lipstick.


And here is a little bonus project from this month's Paper Pumpkin (On My Mind). This is made with the medallion and shell stamps. Mossy Meadow, So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Melon Mabo and Flirty Flamingo. A few iridescent sequins to add a little sparkle! 


Now go check out these other amazing projects on Sunday at 8pm EST!!!

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Seashell Flowers #2

I wanted to see what else I could make with the little shell that came with the On My Mind Paper Pumpkin kit, so I decided to try a flower. I love the way this flower came out, especially the Early Espresso background.

~Enjoy!


The card base is Whisper White, layered with Early Espresso embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. Before I ran it through my machine I added more Early Espresso ink to the embossing folder & the result is a very rich detailed imprint, that darkened the shadows. It is so pretty in person! Layered over that is a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock that has been stamped with one of my favorite birthday stamps from my collection & layered over a piece of pinstripe green from the kit. The whole thing is topped off with a bow made from Linen Thread.

For the flower, I stamped several leaves and the medallion stamp from the Paper Pumpkin kit with Daffodil Delight and then fussy cut all of those shells. For the leaves I repeated the process with Pear Pizzazz. For the center of the flower, I applied some Soft Suede with a sponge dauber.

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Seashell Flowers #1

I was not in love with the little shell that came with the On My Mind Paper Pumpkin kit, so I decided to see what else I could make with it. I love the way this flower came out, it kind of looks like a sunburst pinata!

~Enjoy!


The card base is Cajun Craze, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. Layered over that is a piece of Old Olive Cardstock that has been stamped with the stamps from the Very Versailles Stamp Set and Mossy Meadow. The sentiment is stamped in Cajun Craze and the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set on Whisper White and cut with the die from Lakeside Dies. The whole thing is topped off with a double bow made from Linen Thread.

For the flower, I stamped several leaves and the medallion stamp from the Paper Pumpkin kit with Daffodil Delight & before stamping, took a sponge dauber & inked the edges with Cajun Craze. For the leaves I repeated the process with Pear Pizzazz, stamped off, then Old Olive edging. For the center of the flower, I applied some Soft Suede with a sponge dauber.

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Shaker Sailboat

The shaker contains some random seed beads I had in my stash. The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy & I tapped the banner from the Smooth Sailing Dies in my Soft Suede ink pad before running it through my embossing machine to give the embossed details a little more drama.

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Blue Compass

For this alternate for the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin, I ended up CAES-ing myself as well as a creating it in a few other colors!

~Enjoy!


For the background, I stamped the lines stamp from the Lily Pad Lake Stamp Set with Night of Navy on Seaside Spray and it is layered on a Whisper White card base & topped with a piece of DSP from the envelope liner. I liked another card so much, I decided to duplicate it with the compass stamp. I stamped the compass on Whisper White and alternated Night of Navy & Seaside Spray inks. The whole thing is then roughed up with a scissor edge. The seaweed is cut with the Smooth Sailing Dies and one of the sprigs uses the Noble Peacock Specialty DSP to give it a little masculine bling as well as Vellum. The sentiment is cut with the retired Decorative Label Punch and edged with some sponged Soft Suede. The envelope and sentiment use additional elements from the Sea of Textures Stamp Set. The  finishing touch is a bow made with the Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Bakers Twine.

I had a really hard time using one of the Bendell stripes from the envelopes for alternatives for the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin, but I like the way this one turned out.

~Enjoy!


For the background, I layered a piece of DSP from the envelope liner and added a bunch of grunge elements.

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Meets Very Versailles

The medallions from the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin really had a regal feel to me as well as the Very Versailles Stamp Set, so I decided the 2 should meet!

~Enjoy!


Once again I used this layout for some inspiration. The Early Espresso background is embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. The medallions were stamped with Soft Suede on Crumb Cake. The focal element used the Very Versailles Stamp Set words and leaves stamped in Soft Suede on the Kraft card base included in the kit. The dies are cut from Crumb Cake & Gold Glimmer Paper cut with the Flourish Dies and sponged with Soft Suede. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock and Soft Suede using Very Versailles Stamp Set and run though my embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder. A little strip of DSP from the envelope liner adds the right balance. The envelope had a little splatter made with Pretty Peacock and the Waterfront Stamp Set.

I really loved the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin. I did CASE a few cards and also come up some alternatives. Here is one of the originals.

~Enjoy!


The background uses one of the envelope liners, and there is a similar color/pattern in the Woven Heirlooms DSP paper pack.

I then stamped an additional boat & colored the sails with Coastal Cabana and Soft Sky and then fussy cut them and layered them on the background boat with dimensionals. The bottom of the boat is colored with Light Pretty Peacock. I sponged the edges of the focal point with Bermuda Bay and layered it with some retired Myths and Magic Bermuda Bay Glimmer Paper as well as the little sand dollar, which is cut from Under the Seas Dies. All other items are cut with the Smooth Sailing Dies. The sentiment is stamped with the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and Pretty Peacock and cut with a die from Lakeside Dies.

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Peacock Medallions

The Pretty Peacock envelope liner from the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin really inspired me and I started to repurpose favorite layouts.

~Enjoy!


For the background I layered a piece of DSP from the envelope liner and part of one of the card bases over a Whisper White card base. I was looking for a way to focus on the medallion stamp included in the kit and remembered a similar layout that I had done back in the spring. I stamped the medallion on Whisper White and stamped all medallions with Pretty Peacock, with the lighter ones being a second generation stamp (stamped a second time without reinking). The florals are cut with the In the Woods Dies, Butterfly Beauty Dies and Flourish Dies using Vellum, Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana and some retired Bermuda Bay Glimmer Paper from the Myths & Magic Paper Pack. The Coastal Cabana sprig is stamped in Coastal Cabana with the medallion to give it a little more interest. The sentiment is cut with the Lakeside Dies and the rope border is cut from the Smooth Sailing Dies and Soft Suede dipped in Soft Suede before cutting.

4th of July - Incredible Like You

For the 4th of July this year, there was not a huge selection of stamps from Stampin' Up! So I decided to create a Happy Birthday (America) card instead!

~Enjoy!

This first card is super easy & quick! It uses Real Red and Blueberry Bushel stamped on a white card front. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays. The stripes are from Incredible Like You and the "stars" are from Beautiful Bouquet. I wrapped some Clear Tinsel Sparkling Yarn around the center to give it a little shine!

4th of July - Flags

This last set was inspired by a previous card I did, but I no longer collect a vast amount of DSP, why should I when I can create my own? So I grabbed a 4x6 piece of Poppy Parade, Real Red, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Merry Merlot, Whisper White & Blueberry Bushel and added my own stamps! I trimmed off a piece about 1 inch & cut triangles from that scrapped & mixed and matched to make cute little banners! The sentiment is from a retired SU set.

~Enjoy!

A little creative genius at work - messy!


This one uses a Celebrate stamp from my stash, stamped repeatedly without reinking with Cherry Cobbler on Poppy Parade. Topping it off is Night of Navy Baker's Twine and Silver Mini Sequin Trim. The background is embossed with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.


Here I have stamped Night of Navy on Balmy Blue and the Crackle Background stamp. Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine is added to the Silver Mini Sequin Trim.


On Whisper White, I stamped the flower cluster from Beautiful Bouquet in Night of Navy.


This one again uses the flower cluster from Beautiful Bouquet stamped in Merry Merlot on Read Red.


To switch it up, I embossed this one on Night of Navy with White Embossing Powder and a star banner stamp from my collection. Real Red Baker's Twine tops this one off!


Pacific Point stamped on Whisper white with the dots from Timeless Textures added some whimsey to this one!


Playful Backgrounds stripes are stamped with Real Red on Whisper White.


Night of Navy stamped on Blueberry Bushel and the dots from Playful Backgrounds.
