Artisan Technique Time With Ruffled Ribbon! And More! ♡

Want to learn some fun techniques with ribbon?!  Well let's get started.  Let me show you a few tips to make these pretty projects.  I used the Christmas Greenery Bundle and the Traditional Labels Bundle for these projects also.  The Branching Out Dies also make an appearance!  All supplies used are from Stampin' Up! 

This is one of the fun things about being on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team ... sharing different and fun techniques with you.  It helps me grow as a creator, designer, and crafter.  I have to admit ... I had a lot of fun playing with these!  So let's get into these fun Ruffled Ribbon Techniques! 

First up ... that fun tag!!! Here is how to make the base of the tag: 

***Note:  I also added some glue dots strategically behind some of the ruffles that looked like it need it.  And remember to stamp the top of the tag, if desired, before you adhere it down!  

I love that this Christmas bundle - the Christmas Greenery Bundle - makes very non-holiday projects as well!  It's so versatile!  Look how pretty this turned out with all the fun details! 

I think this tag is so much fun!  Now ... on to a more simple ruffled accent.  Did you see that cute ruffled sentiment on the card?! 

Here is how you make that! 

So easy and fun!  I also have a few little tips for you on some other aspects of this card!  That fun multi-colored greenery bit was easily done with some watercoloring!  I just picked my colors:  Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, & Lost Lagoon, and added little "blobs" of color onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Then die-cut the image! 

The fun background was made by simply adding some splatter to the Basic Beige card front.  Then die-cut the berries (TIP!!!  ADD ADHESIVE SHEET TO CARDSTOCK BEFORE DIE-CUTTING FOR EASY ADHERING!)  and just adhere them to the cardstock.

Also ... that GORGEOUS bow is just done by watercoloring some Petal Pink onto the watercolor paper and die-cutting.  Love the color variance it gives, versus just a piece of cardstock.  

But this card has so many fun details!  DId you notice them all?!

I hope you enjoyed these tips & tricks on making this tag and card!  I hope you give them a try cause they are SO MUCH FUN! Let me know if you have any questions or need help getting any of these fabulous Stampin' Up! supplies!  ♡ THANK YOU so much for visiting!

Home Decor Alternative With Farmhouse Floral Paper Pumpkin!

Oops!  I forgot to share this with you!  And I love it!  I love it for the simplicity but yet also makes an impact ... in your home!  Yes!  I made a little home decor piece with Stampin' Up!'s August Paper Pumpkin Kit called Farmhouse Floral.  You can check out the other alternatives that I made with this kit in THIS POST and THIS POST.  

How fun and cute is this?! 💖 I made it with pieces of the kit that I just cut up and repurposed a bit.  And then added a few extra products available through Stampin' Up! It was so easy to make and is so cute to display!  

I cut some strips Basic White Cardstock and a pattern from the Designer Series Paper pack called Floral Impressions. Then adhered them to a piece of cardstock cut to the size of the frame.  (This is a 4"x6" frame.) 

I then inserted that into the frame and the rest of the pieces are adhere to the outside on the glass.  This gives your project that pop! 

These flowers are from the kit too!  I just cut them out from the bag they were with in the kit and added them to the frame!  Then added the greeting, using a Blending Brush to add a little soft color.  Sequins went in the middle of the flowers and a label cut from the Label Me Grateful Dies "grounded" the focal point! 😍

Hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting! Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.  Would love to help!  And if you need to get signed up with your own Paper Pumpkin subscription or any other Stampin' Up! supplies ... let me know!  That's my speciality!

Can't stop, won't stop ... using the Iridescent Treat Bags!  Hee.  They are good for anything and everything and I love them so much!  So yes ... still am using them for this inspiration challenge that we have for you this week with TGIF Challenge #547!  Let's get started! 

I took the inspirational photo (posted below) and used the colors from it as my inspiration!  

I took the variety of orange with the pops of black and went to town.  Added a bit of gold also.  All supplies are from Stampin' Up!  The oranges I used were Peach Pie & Timid Tiger ... did a watercolor wash & added some die-cuts in those colors.  There is a Crushed Curry die-cut in there also! The stamp set I used for the floral image is from Weekend Adventures, the greeting from Beautiful Butterflies.  I used the Gallery Blooms Dies with the Perennial Postage Dies for the side accent.  

One more shot of the full card.  Those Iridescent Treat Bags are SOOOO pretty in real life!

Stampin' Up! Home Office Demo Event Fun!

Back at the end of May! (Yeah … been meaning to post this for awhile. 😂😆😬) I was able to attend a demonstrator event at Stampin’ Up!’s Home Office. 😍 There was so much creativity shared, inspiring thoughts, bonding time with friends, etc, etc. It was such a fabulous event that filled my heart in more ways than I can express. There also was a name badge contest, and I was one of the winners! I was honored because there were so many fun creative ones! (And I can't find the photo in my camera roll that I thought I had of all the winners! ) But here is my name badge ...

I actually CASE'd myself ... in honor of all my Artisans! I had made a card just like this for a hop I did with my 2024 Artisan team. So by making this ... felt like I was taking a piece of them with me!

Now here's just a photo blast of a whole bunch of photos from the day. Of course being at the office led to a photo shoot around the office! Haha.

I’m so incredibly grateful to be part of a company that has provided me with so many opportunities and brought So. Many. Incredible. People into my life. (Some are pictured here, and some are not.) Truly - I am in awe & thinking about this bring tears to my eyes every. Time.

Huge thanks to those at @stampinupofficial that put this event on. Things like this just keep me coming back for more! Love the Stampin’ Up! community!
