Grapefruit Flower Wreath...

Have you picked your favorite In Color yet?!  Still deciding???  What are your thoughts on Grapefruit Grove?!  Have to admit...still pretty in love with this color.  It is such a fresh and fun orange.  Love it!  Today I want to share a fun wreath I made with this color...

Colors: Grapefruit Grove, Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch

Cardstock/Papers:  Grapefruit Grove, Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch, In Color 2018-2020 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Stamps: NONE

Tools: Blossom Builder Punch

Accessories: Daffodil Delight Blend Marker(dark), Grapefruit Grove 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon

 

How fun and summer-y is this?  I love the pops of Lemon Lime Twist with this color!  😍  And these flowers, made with the Blossom Builder Punch, pretty much have my heart.  Hee.  Aren't they just so cute though?! 

They are so easy to make, also.  Just punch some of the layers out and glue them together!  The punch has both sizes of petals, the center, AND the leaves!  Fantastic!!!  And *FUN TIP!!!* ... I colored the rhinestones with the Daffodil Delight Blends markers!!  Did you know you could do that?!  You can use the blends to color your accessories, ribbon, all sorts of things!  💕

And you can even just punch them out of Designer Paper for some extra pop! 

And then just use hot glue to add some fun ribbons to the top of your wreath, and VOILA!  A fun wreath to hang anywhere you need a summer pop! 

I hope you enjoy!!!  Thanks for visiting!  Let me know if you have any questions!!  Want one more peek at the full wreath?!

New Baby's + Little Elephant = CELEBRATE!

New baby's truly are a celebration, right?!  I LOVE some newborn snuggles!  And my brother and sister in law just gave me the cutest new nephew!  He's certainly fun to snuggle and makes my heart swoon.  (He smells SOOOOOO good also.  Anyone else love breathing in that new baby smell or is it just me?!  😀)  Anyway...I wanted to give them something practical for their new baby, so I got them some gift cards to some local food places around them.  That way they can just grab some dinner when they need a meal.  BUT...it had to be wrapped cute, right?!  (Check out THIS POST where I also mentioned giving gift cards.)  Well...Little Elephant Bundle to the rescue!!!

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, Night of Navy, Gray Granite

Cardstock/Papers:  Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy, Whisper White

Stamps: Little Elephant

Accessories: Whisper White Baker's Twine, Whisper White Embossing Powder, Night of Navy ribbon (RETIRED!), Gold Library Clips, Striped Treat Bags

HOW CUTE IS HE?!?!  Just amazing, right?!  A fun stamp set with a coordinating punch...can't beat that!!!

Look at him a little closer, if you would like.  😀

And this Library Clip pulled double duty for this project.

I just *had* (Hee) to give them some cute baby clothes also...so I put those in a gift bag and then just clipped this on the front.  Double duty!!!

I hope you enjoy!  Let me know if you have any questions or need help ordering any Stampin' Up! supplies!!  Thanks for visiting!

Hip Hip Hooray...It's A Birthday Party Day!

My baby girl just turned 5.  We love a good celebration at our house, so of course we had some birthday fun with her!  (She was SOOOOOOO excited it was finally her turn for a birthday!!!)  Today I just wanted to share a cute & quick little favor bag I made.  I couldn't find exactly what I wanted at the store, so I just grabbed some Kraft bags and decided I would just add a special little touch to them...

I used some retired products on here (I'm sorry!) but I wanted to show how much fun it is to just add a few special details to make it a wow bag.  My birthday girl even commented on it.  She notices it, and says so excitedly--"I LOVE this little piece on it, Mom!!!"  It was so cute and melted my heart!  Here is a bit of a close-up:

And the cute birthday herself...

And the birthday girl with her sisters...

I hope you enjoy this quick idea!  Let me know if you have any questions!

How fun is this challenge?!  Heat Embossing is definitely one of my fave things to do.  And you can do so much with this!  For my project...I just embossed the sentiment.  It honestly is one of my fave things to do with heat embossing...because I LOVE a white greeting!  It looks great on black, but I also love it on color--like I did on this project:

This saying makes my heart smile.  I need to remember this a lot of my days...so I thought it would be fun to make a little notebook with this sentiment.  SOOOOO...you open it up and here you are:

I think this is such a fun way to just have a little "clear my mind" journal when it's needed.  (Does anyone else LOVE putting pen to paper to work out emotions?!  One of my fave things to do!)  

And YES!  This notebook holder is just one of the empty Clear-Mount stamp cases that you can buy! Love these!!!

I hope you enjoy this project!  Now it's time to head on over to the TGIF CHALLENGE BLOG and play along!!!  Thanks for visiting!  Let me know if you have any questions!

So fun, huh?!  The belly band just slides off so the recipient can open it up easily!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this floral image!  I have used it as a background a lot, but here it became the focal point!

So what do you think?!  What stamp set do you love that may be surprising to others?!  Oh!  And here is a pic of all the images in this stamp set, in case you aren't familiar with it.

Lovely Impressions Butterfly Home Decor...

Who is ready to see another project made with one of this years NEW In Colors?!  How about a fun Home Decor piece?!  Well hope you're ready to see, because I'm ready to share 😀 ...

Stamps: NONE!

TGIF Challenge 167: All About Color!!!

I have to admit, I LOVE a good Color Challenge.  I am all about color, so it's fun to try new combos that you maybe wouldn't normally put together.  This weeks' TGIF Challenge is a fun and summery color combo that I know you will love!!!  First, here is the card I made for the challenge:

 

Colors: Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove

Cardstock/Papers:  Lemon Lime Twist, Shimmery White, Vellum Cardstock, Watercolor Paper, Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Follow Your Dreams

Tools: Big Shot, Chase Your Dreams Framelits, Starburst Punch, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Iridescent Sequin Assortment

And here is the official color challenge graphic:

HOW MUCH FUN ARE THESE COLORS??!?!?!?!?   (I did add the Night of Navy spritz splatter, FYI.)

You can't fully see in the photo, but the "dream" is cut from Shimmery White cardstock.  So it shimmers in real life!  😍

What do you think about the watercoloring?  To get this colorful wash, I spritzed the Watercolor Paper with water first then just dropped a drop of Pineapple Punch ink from the reinker bottle right onto the paper.  Smear that around with an Aqua Painter, then repeat with the Grapefruit Grove color.  So much fun and gets you a pretty vibrant color...

All in all, I kinda want to make this card with lots of different stamp sets and die-cuts.  What do you think?!  I hope you enjoy!  Now it's your turn!  Head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to play along!  I can't wait to see what you make!!!
