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...

OSAT - Hoppy Mother's Day!!

Welcome back! Thanks for joining us for this month's Mother's Day hop!

Perhaps you are coming from the very talented Holly Stene...weren't her projects gorgeous?? I've been following Holly through my entire Stampin' career and I'm very happy to be linked with her blog. If you haven't visited her yet, click HERE to check it out, but then be sure to continue on to the rest of the hop-hosts to see their creations that were made just for your viewing pleasure.

Here is my first offering for you.....

This is a color combo of Coastal Cabana, Blackberry Bliss, and Basic Gray. The card came together as a happy accident as I was brainstorming for my project and glanced down at my creation station to see the makings for what turned out to be my finished product. My motivation for creating was my wonderful wife and mother to my children...and she also happens to be my Stampin' Buddy! I invited her to create something for you, and she made this awesome card set and basket...

Isn't it adorbs!?! Thanks Sweetie!!XOXO (link to more awesomeness in the sidebar...visit Paper Paradise!)

OSAT Showers Bring Spring Flowers...or something like that...

Hello, again! Today we have a very special treat for you...a Blog Hop! In fact, it's my very first! This has been brought to you by a group of creative stampers that was formed on Facebook known as "One Stamp At a Time" (aka OSAT). Some days, that's my motto, especially when stuck on a never ending stack of swap cards or invitations that were super cute when I designed them, but by the 34th identical sentiment they kind of lose their appeal... anybody feel me on that one? Anyways...for those of you who arrived here via Megan T, thanks for participating in the Hop! For those who may be starting here; at the bottom of my post there is a link to the very talented Holly Stene, so please take the time to continue on and check out what she and those after her have created for you this week. Now, on to my card...

This week's theme is Spring Flowers. I'm in California, so Spring may have a different meaning for me than it does for y'all on the East Coast or anywhere else that has a true Winter. I can only imagine how nice it must be to start getting temperatures in the double digits again, especially when we barely go out when our temps drop into the 50's! Lol. I do, however, miss a lot of the things that other climates have going on; playing in the snow, White Christmas, affordable housing, and most of all -- visible season changes. I always hear beautiful tales about how gorgeous the landscape is when the seasons change, and I have never had an opportunity to experience it myself :-( So this week, I visualized Spring Flowers as a refreshing pop of brightness and color after a long and dreary Winter. See what you think:

I really enjoy look of water coloring mixed with the emboss resist, and I thought that both the sentiment and the image from Stampin' Up's Indescribable Gift stamp set fit the Spring Flowers theme perfectly.

Hope you enjoyed my card and I really hope that you click the "Next" button below to visit Holly and see what she made for us. See you there!!
