Artisan Design Team Blog Hop - Thoughtful Banners

Hello there! I'm glad you joined me today for our next Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. You're in for a treat because we have so much talent and so many different styles represented by these 20 women from around the globe. And on top of their talent, they are fun and fabulous as well. Please keep hopping through all 20 so you don't miss a thing! Be sure to use something like Google Translate for those blogs not in your native language. Also, you can find all of our projects for the year in one easy place, on our Pinterest board. You might have just arrived from Krista Frattin, and I know you loved her stunning project as much as I did.

This week is our open project, where we can use any of the supplies from this quarter's selection. I decided to make a couple of cards using the Moroccan Nights Stamp Set and the Thoughtful Banners Bundle.

I'm back today with two more cards using the Flourishing Dies. The whole team will be focused on these dies this week, and these are the projects that will be featured on the Stampin' Up Facebook page on Friday! These are beautiful dies, and the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set, which is part of a bundle with them, has so many beautiful sayings. For these projects, I thought it would be fun to die cut them from Watercolor Paper, and then use multiple colors to paint them with.

Playing along with TGIF Sketch Challenge 68

Hello and welcome back! I'm sharing a project I made for the TGIF Challenge Blog using the Thoughtful Branches bundle and their Sketch Challenge #68. Have you seen all of the terrific samples made with this limited time bundle? Here and here are links to two blog hops with lots of amazing samples made by this year's Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team if you need more temptation to purchase these items! Get it while you can, as it is only available until August 31 (while supplies last).

This is the great sketch that I started with today. Diagonal designs are very popular right now, and this was a lot of fun to work with.

Texture Stamps and Watercolor Stamping

Recently I created a post for the Stampin' Up! Corporate Blog, that I wanted to share with everyone here as well. And look, I used a watercolor technique again! I just can't help myself.

Have you seen the new Touches of Texture Stamp Set (Clear-Mount, item 143251; Wood-Mount, item 141934)? It’s filled with several beautiful line art stamps as well as different filler and texture stamps. I thought it would be fun to use a watercolor stamping technique and some simple layering to make a set of note cards and a coordinating gift bag to share with you today.

OSAT Blog Hop - Dog Days of Summer

Hello and welcome back! Today is our monthly One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop, and our theme this month is the Dog Days of Summer! I think some on the hop will also share some ideas for Back to School projects, so you'll have lots of interesting things to see. I went with the summer theme, and inked up a new set I have called Pop of Paradise. I colored the pineapples with a few different colors of yellow and green markers, spritzed them with water and then stamped. This gives the fruit lots of variations in color, and it gives the card more interest I think.

I got the idea to use some of the shapes from the Flourish Thinlits Dies to create some Christmas cards. I think the flowers look like snowflakes in silver, and the branches look wintery in gold too. So, that was my inspiration for these cards.
