OSAT Monochromatic May

Welcome to May's "One Stamp at a Time" (OSAT) blog hop! For those who may not know, OSAT is a group of crafty folks that have found each other on Facebook and have now started a monthly blog hop. If you came to my post organically, please follow the hop to see what other goodies were made for your viewing pleasure. If you have arrived via my buddy Maggie Mata, thanks for hopping in!!

Our theme for this month is Monochromatic. I chose Gold, Crumbcake, and Vanilla. See what ya' think:

In addition to this card, I also made this bookmark gift set...

For the card I used the flower from the new Stampin' Up! You've Got This stamp set and the butterfly and sentiment from the new Best Thoughts set. All images embossed in gold; the butterfly and flower fussy cutted for added dimension. I finished the images with Crumbcake watercoloring.

For the bookmark set, the flowers and vines were stamped from the new SU! Floral Wings set. I also used the new I Think You're Great set for one of the bookmarks. My main inspiration for this project was the new Neutrals Designer Paper Pack, especially the pages with the beautiful handwriting over a variety of colors and tones. I used that page as well as the floral page (both in gold, of course). I punched the tops of the bookmarks with a few different tag punches and tied them with gold embedded bakers twine and gold sequin trim. Butterflies were punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch.

So that's all that I have for you today, but I'll be back with more tomorrow and even more this weekend, so please do visit again... But since the day is still young, there's so much more for you to see if you click the "Next" button below! Go ahead, you know you want to...

CYCI #68 Butterbee Sketch :-)

Hey there :-) Nice to see you again! Thanks for stopping in to see this week's CYCI Sketch Challenge:

Here's what I got out of it....

I call him my little Butterbee...get it? Part butterfly, part bee.... I made him with the Baby Bumblebee stamp (Hecka Cute!) but I wanted to change him up and give him some REAL wings Lol! Colours are Hello Honey and Early Espresso with a little sponge of Tangerine Tango, and the sentiment is From The Herd on Very Vanilla. Top layer is from the Gold Fancy Designer Vellum pack.

Have to keep this short and sweet this week...out the door to see the Kenney Chesney/Jason Aldean tour at the brand new SF 49er's stadium! Yee-Haw!! Maybe I'll be able to share some pics...check my IG and see if I had any fun...

Well thanks again, please go check out CanYouCaseIt.com to see what our great design team has made to inspire you and be sure to play along and inspire us! After all, we do this for you.....

CYCI #67 Golden Mother's Day!!

This week we have a special Mother's Day edition at CanYouCaseIt.com!

This Mother's Day is a fresh experience for me. For those of you who are familiar with my stamping journey, you know that I am relatively new to this; this is my first Mother's Day since I have become a Real stamper. Growing up, I usually remembered to get my Mom a card and a gift, but sometimes (unfortunately) she would have to settle with just a phone call :-( Sorry, Mom. However, Mother's Days have been much more consistent since I have been married to a cardmaker. Lol! Now I understand why...the blogosphere and social media sites are chock full of reminders of the upcoming holiday (Thankfully!!). And now I am doing my part to remind YOU to appreciate your Mom or another important Mother-figure in your life. I am grateful for this week's challenge because it encouraged me to make a card that is fitting to send to MY Mom. Here it is:

It started with the flower... I sponged a sheet of vellum with a combination of Strawberry Slush, Blackberry Bliss, and Hello Honey. Then I punched a number of flowers from the sheet using both the Fun Flower Punch and the Pansy Punch. I crinkled up the flowers and stuck them together (slightly askew) with glue dots. I finished off the center of the flower with a Very Vintage Designer button. The card base is Very Vanilla, and the card front is a piece of Irresistibly Yours DSP (oh, how I love you...) that I sponged with gold ink. It's a wonderful affect and works well with the other designs in the paper pack; the photos don't do it justice! I embossed the sentiment from the Four You set in gold on vanilla and embellished it with doily, then finished the card with a few swirlies of Gold Baker's Twine and assembled! Ready to send! Or better yet, perhaps I'll have a chance to hand deliver!

So now it's your turn! Visit us at CanYouCaseIt and share a pic of the card that you are making for Mother's Day. We also have an awesome design team that will inspire you if you need a little nudge, so head on over there to check out their creations. Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again later in the week!
