#DOswts386 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. The DO Stamper Stars is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

 

Today's feature project is based on the below sketch.

I really switched up this sketch for my project. I've already got a bunch of scraps of the In-Color designer series paper and really wanted to use them. I also have not made many projects with the new Good Feelings Stamp set. When I saw the squares I thought of this fun saying. The words fit better switching it to a diamond look 

I'm obsessed with using the adhesive sheets and laying down strips of paper. It is such an efficient, easy way of laying down the strips and I love being able to use my leftovers and not waste too much paper. I had to make the layer a bit bigger than the sketch, but it still has the same effect. The Tahitian Tide layer really pops the colors. I added the twine on the lower part of the layer piece. 

I originally thought of  having the Happy Birthday on the front, but it did not fit well, so I adhered it on the inside along with more scraps.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Food and Drink

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Stampin' Dreams blog hop with a theme of Food and Drink.

I have a couple sets that fit in with this theme, mostly drink related. I've created projects using the He's The Man bundle and the Brewed for You bundle. I decided I'd incorporate both sets in the 2 cards I created. 

I found a great card idea on Pinterest from Nancy's Nifty Notes and decided to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) but using different background, etc. Here 's my card and below are the details to make it yourself. 

Card Details

• Stamps: 
• Brewed For You 
• Paper
• Sarhara Sand -card base 5 1/2 x  8 1/2 score at 4 1/4 
• layer: 4 1/8 x 3 5/8
• circle die cut layer 2 1/4 x 2 1/4
• Crushed Curry: 5 3/8 x 4 1/8
• He's The Man Designer Series Paper: 2 1/2 x 4 + one of the circle die cuts 
• Ink
• VersaMark - stamped beer glass on crushed curry 
• Other
• Stampin Cut & Emboss
• Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots 
• Adhesives: Seal, Multipurpose glue, Dimensionals

For the 2nd project, I wanted to incorporate food so I looked to the BBQ elements in the die cuts of He’s The Man DSP.  I literally copied the design from Jill Olsen. Her blog post has all the details on creating this card- click here to check it out. 

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.

National Scrapbooking Day - May 7, 2022

 Hello Crafters! I thought I'd share some highlights of projects made during a Scrapbook day at my home to celebrate National Scrapbooking day. It was such a fun day! If you're interested, here is a link to some Fun Facts about National scrapbook day 

My original paper crafting hobby started with Scrapbooking some 20+ years ago. I really needed to remove some photos that were discoloring and getting damaged in a 'sticky' album. Creative Memories was all about Archival Quality albums/products so they were my very first purchase. Little did I know how addicting it would be to create Scrapbook albums. It also created some wonderful opportunities to hang out with friends to socialize and craft. I have attended so many craft weekends in the last 15 years and have wonderful memories of those weekends! 

Here is a sample page from that very first album - which I still have never finished! My goal was simply to remove the photos that were getting damaged, so I didn't really do much else. I really do need to rethink this album and add some journaling/embellishment touches to it. 

Fast forward to today and I count about 40 albums I've completed and yet still have so many photos/events I'd like to capture in a memory album. I've been more focused on my grandchildren as they are such cute subjects. Additionally, my 'style' of scrapbooking has changed significantly. Here's a page of some fun with my daughter and her family up in Canada this past summer.

 

Stampin' Up! still is my go to for supplies. I love their paper, designs, how all the colors match for embellishments, etc. I incorporate much more stamping and die cuts into my scrapbooking than I used to do in the past.  While they no longer carry sheet load albums, which is my go to choice, they do have pocket albums that I supplement photos I don't want to full on scrapbook. 

The below layout is my Great Aunt Ann who was a special lady and an important mentor in my life.  I still need to write up a special journal story on the below photo. I'm not always good at the journaling aspect of layouts, but I'm going to type something up for this one to honor her. You'll see in the next layout I often handwrite my journaling. While my handwriting is not the greatest, I think having my handwriting is an important element to the memory. 

Last but not least, I am trying to scrapbook more about my own life. My paper crafting hobby plays such an important roll in my life, I really need to do a better job of scrapbooking about the fun I have creating with my friends. They make our time together fly by and we encourage each other when we get stuck on a page or project. Creating time is probably one of the biggest challenges of this hobby!  Space is another and I since we downsized our home, I was able to remodel a bit and better utilize the smaller space available in our loft. It works well for me, although I'm slowly creeping over into my husband's office part of this space- lol. 

You may notice in some of the above photos that there is a mix of new and old supplies. I've been trying to use up old supplies. We all have that stash of old supplies hidden somewhere. Well, when you bring them out, they start to get used. In this process I've also realized I'm not much for stickers anymore, or eyelets. This has helped me identify items in my stash to get rid of as it no longer brings me joy. Like any design industry, trends come & go, supplies don't last forever and new, shiny stuff is more appealing! Like clothes or accessories, it's important to go through stuff annually and see what you haven't used in the past year. My sister and fellow Demonstrator provided the following tips recently that I think is very helpful when deciding what you want to keep: 

• Pull old and/or retired products from your shelves and drawers. 
• Sort into 2 boxes: a) keep, b) sell/giveaway
• For the KEEP BOX: mark the box with retired, if you know the brand/year of products or have a catalog that went with them, include this details and set aside. If after a year or so, you find that you're not longing to use any of the contents, then that goes in the sell pile too.
• For the SELL BOX: Mark each product with the price if you have it (i.e. if you have the catalog, it helps). Then when you have a sale, or know someone having a sale, you can choose the actual price you want to sell it for. Maybe everything is half off, or whatever you decide. ALSO keep the matching catalog in the box in case you missed pricing something.

I hope you were able to get some creative time in over the weekend. We have so many memories to share. The style of scrapbooking/memory making/journaling is a personal yet important choice. You do not need to be elaborate with your pages. I tend to stay simple other than the occasional picture that screams for a special layout. If you have questions about scrapbooking/memory making, please give me a call, I'd be happy to help get you started, or start up again if you've had a long hiatus.

New Catalogue Blog Hop - Brewed For You Bundle

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today projects are made using new products from the NEW 2022-23 Annual Catalog. As a Demonstrator I get to pre-order certain products form the catalog up to 30 days prior to the catalog going live. It is so much fun to play with new products and share new creations. 

 
I am creating with the Brewed for You Bundle. The die cuts that go with this set are so fun. You can create any number of beer tasting die cuts for your card, scrapbook page or other 3D project. 

I  tested a few different looks and made two cards adding in the He's The Man 12 x 12 DSP. This paper is also so versatile and perfect for guy cards. 

Not that Guys just drink beer, but let's face it, the majority of them do. I will drink a good craft beer from time to time, but wine is my 1st choice. The smaller of the glassware in the set can double up as a wine glass! 

The below card I cased from Kimberly Ann VanOs, adding my own style to the card. I just loved the ascending beer glasses and the 'Oh Ale Yes' sentiment! 

 

Card Details

• Stamps/Bundle
• Brewed For You 
• Paper
• Crumb Cake card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score at 4 1/4, the 2nd card is trimmed off at 2 1/8"
• Layer on 1st card is 2 5/8 x 3 3/4, + scrap for sentiment 
• Crushed Curry - 2nd card 1 1/2 x 5 3/8  
• Basic White: used for the die cuts and sentiment for the 2nd card 
• Layer inside of 2nd card: 2 1/2 x 5 3/8
• Vellum: used as die cut on a couple beers to give it a frosty mug look. You could probably use clear embossing powder as well to give any of the die cuts a glassy look.
• He's The Man 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper: 1st card 5 1/4 x 4 + 2 1/2 x 3 5/8
• 2nd card 2 1/2 x 5 1/4
• Ink
• Variety of inks used to stamp the glassware; many were stamped off first to give it a more subtle look: Soft Suede, Grey Granite are my favorite choices
• Beer Colors: Crushed Curry is my favorite, both stamped in full, or off for a lighter beer look. I also tested So Saffron and Mango Melody. It really depends on the look you want for your beer.
• Early Espresso: sentiments, but also tested for the dark beer. 1st card I used Soft Suede  
• Versamark: sentiment on the crushed curry card stock in the 2nd card 
• Other
• Stampin' Cut & Emboss 
• Stylish Shapes Dies - both sentiments 
• Bakers Twine Essential pack
• Adhesives: Seal, Multipurpose glue, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
