SP & Company February Release Day!

Hi and welcome to the SP and Company Blog Hop!

There are some absolutely fantastic new releases available at the SP& Co store right now, so head on over!


For my first project, I created a pretty simple card using the new Certified Awesome set.  I just love, love, love this set! There are so many creative sentiments to use and I love the multiple banners that are available!

I paper pieced the banner and popped it up using adhesive dots.  I thought it would be fun to use some spray mist in the background to compliment the polka dots.

I also created a mini album using Certified Awesome and the new Leaf Background along with some papers from the January Kit Club.

On the cover, I stamped Chevron Chase and the star from All Zipped up, along with some stickers and bling.

Here is the new Certified Awesome set again, with some hearts from the Tiny Build A Banner.

For this page, I used a sentiment from Certified Awesome along with Mix N Match Sentiments: Kids.

This is one of my favorite pics in the album.  Doesn't my daughter look annoyed? You can tell she was sooo tired of me taking pictures all day at the Children's Museum.  :)  I used the letters and banners from the Tiny Build A Banner for this page.

I kept the album very simple - it's just a little memento of our day together.  My husband and son were in Cooperstown, NY at the time for a baseball tournament, so my daughter and I spent the whole week together with my mom while they were gone.  This was one of the fun things we did, so it was nice to look back and remember this summer while I created the album.

I added the little line from Journal This and the sun from Falling for Autumn and some ribbon to finish off the book.

SP Trends Challenge #3

Hi! Are you ready for another SP Trends Challenge? The theme this time is Handmade Hearts, just in time for Valentine's Day.

I have been challenging myself to do more of the white-on-white and I think I'm getting better! For this card, I used the hearts and circles from the Tiny Build A Banner set and the sentiment from Happy Banners.

I think the circles popping up are a fun design element.

Now, it's your turn to play along and win! Head on over to the Scrapmaster's Blog for the contest details and the InLinkz entry!

SP January Release Day

Welcome! I am really excited to share the creations I've made with the newest SP & Company stamp set, Happy Banners!


I have been bitten by the chalkboard technique bug.  :-)  I stamped on black stock and heat embossed the images, then I added some white ink and while colored pencil to finish up the tag.  I just love the banners and the sentiments! I also used some images from the In Love Emma set, Tiny Build A Banner and the Rain Boots stamp set.  I love how all of my SP stamps work together!!!

For my second project, I used some Washi tape to highlight the banner.  I thought it would be fun to use super bright colors and to add that spray mist in the corner.  It did get kinda bunched up, but I think that just gives it more character!!!

And here is a close up of the banner and sentiment:

Yesterday, I did a sneak peek of another card I made with this set HERE.

Now, onto the rest of the DT's blogs! Make sure you stop by each blog to leave some love and don't forget to check out Sami's Blog, too, for the contests that she's running!!! There are so many chances to win SP products this month!!!

Thanks... For Being You!

Hi!
I've got a card to share that made me go out of my comfort zone.  I went with colors I don't normally use and I mixed patterns together!

I am just loving that Tiny Build A Banner set.  I use it on almost everything these days.  I also added into the background Chevron Chase using some Versamark watermark ink.

I stamped and cut out the notepad from Winter Pocket Fillers and added a flower from Poppy Field Summer and sentiment from For Every Woman.  I finished it all off with some patterned paper and washi tape.

Thanks!

So... I did a little shopping on Black Friday.  There were SO many SP & Company sets I wanted! I picked out a few and once they arrived, I could not wait to play with them!

This Baby Bella image was number one on my list.  I'm a huge dog lover and I know sooo many people that are also huge dog lovers, so this stamp is going to get a ton of use!

I really went out of my comfort zone here and I used a doily! I never, ever go the shabby chic route, but I really wanted to give it a go.  I also placed a die cut behind the dog, over the doily that coordinates with the flower on her collar.

I also added a banner in the corner from the Tiny Build A Banner set.  I was pleased with this one - I really like the gray along with the yellow and pink!


Oh, and did you see the big announcement about the Trends Challenge that is coming in January??? If not, click HERE.

Non Traditional Christmas Colors

Hi!
Today I have a Christmas card that I think is really unique.  I used non-traditional Christmas colors.  I love the color combo of red and turquoise together and I LOVE seeing it in Christmas papers!

I thought it would be fun to color in the candy canes from Winter Pocket Fillers with turquoise instead of the normal red.  I've seen different colored candy canes in the store, so why not, right? I also used the "Christmas Wish List" sentiment and note card from the same set.  Then I added in the herringbone heart from Artsy Heartsy along with some patterns from Chevron Chase.

I also added in some banners from the new Tiny Build A Banner along with a sentiment from the Cutest Gingerbread Man set.  The papers are from Carta Bella's Merry & Bright collection, which I just can't get enough of these days!

I just love the mix of the different patterns, how about you? Thanks for stopping by today!

Tiny Ornaments

Hi!
I'm excited to share a little card I created using SP & Company stamps!

I was out of the box with this one! I used the circles from the Tiny Build A Banner set as ornaments and paired it with lines from Stitchery Doo and a sentiment (and snowflakes) from Winter Pocket Fillers.

The paper is from Carta Bella's Merry & Bright collection, which has quickly taken over my holiday creations.  I adore the colors in that collection!

I used a Q-Tip to brush some blue around the ornaments to give them a glow.  This is simple and fun technique.  It just gives a little something extra to the card.

Thanks for stopping by today!


And stay tuned... We are planning something new and super fun at SP & Company that will launch in early January! Details to hit in just a few weeks, so keep en eye out!

SP & Company Hop and Release Day!

Hi and Welcome to the SP & Company Blog Hop!

We are shaking things up a bit with the holidays on the horizon and combining the November and December stamp release into one big party! That means extra projects for you today! All of these gorgeous stamps are available now! We will not have a December release party so that everyone can concentrate on family & friends.

This month's color is Teal! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's Teal challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some amazing SP and Company prizes! 

Do you want to win some amazing SP & Company Products? Then don't forget that the Prize Patrol is always watching! Leave a comment on every single blog to be eligible for the prizes!! The more blogs you comment on, the better your chances are of winning something fabulous!

For my first card, I used the images from the new Tiny Build A Banner set and a sentiment from In Love Emma (ApplesDapples Collection).  I also used some of the dashed lines from Stitchery Doo and the chevrons from Chevron Chase to complete the card.

The patterned stock is from Echo Park's This & That.  I just love the mix & match of dots and chevrons on this card.  I lightly inked Chevron Chase because I wanted it to hide behind the sentiment and give more of a distressed look.

Isn't Emma sooo cute? This set allows you to mix & match the items she is holding.  I love it!!!

I actually used Christmas papers from Carta Bella's Merry & Bright (this was part of the kit club), but you can't even tell they are meant to be for Christmas! Talk about versatile!
