Trusty Toolbox

We made it to Friday and y'all know what that means...time for an all new TGIF Challenges.  This week we have a sketch that was perfect for sharing a sneak peek of some new products coming in the January-April 2024 Mini and January-February 2024 Sale-A-Bration catalogs.

Let me introduce you to the Trusty Tools stamp set (Jan-April) and the coordinating Trusty Toolbox DSP (SAB)...

This stamp set and DSP will get a lot of use for all of the guys in my life!  From my dad, husband and sons to father-in-laws and friends, this will be a well loved stamp set!

I created a tool box with the DSP, tucking a few fussy cut tools inside.  The ruler, also from the DSP, filled the other half of the sketch.  The saw blade was the perfect addition to the front of the sketch.  I even brought in the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder from the Annual Catalog.  Products from all of the catalogs are always working together!

Join along in the fun and share your take on the sketch with us!

Happy Stamping!

Simply Sparkling Birthday

It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop!

I finally had the chance to play with some of the new stamp sets that arrive a few weeks ago.  My Christmas creations kind of made everything else take a back seat, but not any more!

Simply Sparkling Bundle is a recent addition to the Online Exclusives and it is so much fun! The possibilities are endless with these cans of bubbly.  And when you add some of the Holographic Specialty Paper, they look like real soda cans.

Do you spy the fun bubble dies?  They are so awesome, especially with the addition of some stamped bubbles. Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana seemed like the perfect colors for an extra bubble birthday wish.  The black and white Delightfully Eclectic DSP made the bright colors pop even more!

Keep on hopping along to see what the rest of my Monday Montage friends have to share with us today!

Nature's Sweetness

Hello stampers!  I finally opened my box of new stamps, paper and other fun products and took a short break from Christmas cards for the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge.  It was love at first sight when I saw Nature's Sweetness shared during OnStage@Home.  I was so happy it was included in the list of items we were able to order early!

I used the Notes of Nature stamp set to create a collage background on the Pecan Pie circle on the front as well as the Very Vanilla panel peeking from the background.  I love the freestyle stamping that sets like this allow!

The floral image was die cut from the GORGEOUS Nature's Sweetness DSP and colored with Stampin' Blends in shades of Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Petal Pink.  The Lovely & Sweet dies coordinate with some of the images in the DSP, which makes cutting some of the beautiful images super easy!

Do you spy the cute little Cork Rounds?  These may easily be my new favorite embellishments!  A simple "congratulations" sentiment from Lovely & Sweet was just that...lovely and sweet.

I can't wait to create more projects with this suite.  There are endless possibilities!

Happy Stamping!

O Holy Night

Hello and happy Friday friends!  I hope you all had a beautiful Thanksgiving yesterday!  We are officially kicking off the Christmas season over at TGIF Challenges  with a fun Theme Challenge.  What is your favorite Christmas song?

There are so many joyful, beautiful and meaningful Christmas songs I love, but O Holy Night is probably the one I love the most!  The story this song tells is beautiful.

The Night Devine bundle is one that I will hang on to forever!  This bundle brings the true meaning of Christmas to life in whatever project you create with it. Paired up with the gorgeous O Holy Night DSP, I quickly created a beautiful nativity scene using the Night Devine dies.  I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight and fussy cut around the beautiful script. A few golden stars were the only embellishments needed.

As we jump into the craziness that the holiday season can bring, my hope is that we can all take time to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Happy Stamping!

Festive Merry Monday

 

It's that time again...time for another amazing Monday Montage Blog Hop!  We are missing a few in the lineup this week, but we've still got a ton of creative inspiration to share with you!

I'm still plugging along with the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. The theme for day 20 is Festive Vibes Only.  It doesn't get much more festive than bright, shiny Christmas lights, right?

Merry Bold & Bright DSP has been my go-to Christmas paper this year...if you haven't noticed!  I paired up with brightly lit bulbs with the Poppy and Melon stripes, along with a row of fussy cut lights.

Oh, what fun the sentiment is to finish off the card.  Granny Apple Green has been my go-to Christmas green this year too.  Give me all the bright colors!

Hop on over to see what my crafty friend Cathy has to share or take a hop back to see what the amazing Wendy has in store.
