SSC227 Gingham Bunnies

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are all staying safe during this pandemic.  If you've found yourself with some extra crafting time, we've got another Sunday Stamps challenge for you.

I've had the little bunny table favors on the brain.  I wanted to make these little guys for the Hudson Valley Shoebox Swap, but as you can imagine, that event has been postponed.  So I'll make a few to share with you here.

I created a cut file on my Cameo Silhouette, approximate size 1-1/2 x 5-7/8", scored at 2-3/8" from each end.  They are sized to hold a Hershey's nugget, with "Easter Wishes" on the front, and cute little bunny tails, created out of cotton balls, on the back.

Here is this week's color challenge; use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral of your choice.

Stamps: Something to Celebrate; Paper: Gorgeous Grape, Gingham Gala DSP; Ink: Versamark; Accessories: Braided Linen Trim, White Embossing Powder, Banner Punch, 1/8" Hole Punch, Cotton Balls, e-cutter.

SSC225 Fat Tuesday Tulips

Hi All, Time for another Sunday Stamps color challenge.  With Mardi Gras around the corner, we are thinking about some New Orleans-themed celebration colors.  The purple, green, and gold colors trace back to the 1872 Rex parade, with tradition stating purple represents justice, green represents faith, and gold represents power.

I've had fun creating a mardi gras-themed mask card in the past; this time I chose to apply the colors to flowers.

This card uses CAS(E) this Sketch #358.  And here is this week's colors; use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral of your choice.

Stamps: Timeless Tulips, Happy Birthday To You; Paper: Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Peaceful Poppies DSP; Ink: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Gorgeous Grape, Versamark; Accessories: Peaceful Poppies Sequins, Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, White Embossing Powder, Tulip Builder Punch, Brayer, Watercolor Brush, Stitched Rectangles Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

The Stamp Review Crew: Sale-a-Bration 2020

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  Today we have a special bonus hop focusing on this year's Sale-a-Bration offerings.  This is a great time of the year to stay indoors and get some crafting done while also earning FREE product!  You can check out all the free products by clicking the Sale-a-Bration icon at the bottom of this post.  If you are following the hop in order, you've arrived from the fantastic Lauren Alarid's blog.

I thought I would focus on one Sale-a-Bration set, Lovely Lily Pad.  For my SAB swap for our January downline meeting, I was inspired by Artisan Martin Stone.  I'm a sucker for yellow and gray color combos (and especially watercoloring in grays).

Stamps: Lovely Lily Pad, Happy Birthday to You; Paper: Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Whisper White; Ink: Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Versamark; Accessories: Rhinestone Jewels, White Embossing Powder, Aquapainter, Color Spritzer Tool, Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

I always end up getting the Sale-a-Bration set that coordinates with the SAB patterned paper and embellishments ~ always nice!  I brought some supplies down to Florida this week to make little Ghiradelli holders with the fam.

Stamps: Lovely Lily Pad, Label Me Bold; Paper: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Lily Impressions DSP, Vellum; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Accessories: Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack, Ornate Tag Topper Punch, Dimensionals.

I also used the coordinating items on a couple previous cards, including a fancy one-layer tole card on the right.

Hop on over to Linda Callahan's blog to see what she put together with some Sale-a-Bration items. Her projects are always beautiful!
