Stampin Creative Blog Hop – Monochromatic

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on

March 26th, 2020

Welcome to the Stampin Creative Blog Hop for March 2020! This months theme is “monochromatic”. How fun, right? I decided to choose Rococo Rose to work with as my “monochromatic” color and used the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set (item #151490 $21.00) and the coordinating product, the Natures Thoughts Dies (item #153586 $29.00).

Here is what I came up with:

I really love this stamp set and I think its just finally getting recognized as being a rock star stamp set!

I had so much fun making these. The dies give it that little extra something. For the dies I used the little “fern”, the large fern, the flower and the large butterfly.

Now, lets join all of my friends and hop around with me – all over the globe. They are super talented and we cannot wait to inspire you!

Here are the items you’ll want to grab up to make this beauty:

September 26th, 2019

Welcome to the September 2019 Stampin Creative Global Blog Hop! Thank you so much for joining us! This months theme is “Birthday Bonanza!”

I decided to make a little Birthday Treat with one of my favorites.. Rice Krispie Treats.. YUM! These are bite size so no calories! (I wish!)

Isn’t it cute?!

I used the Follow Your Art Suite of products found on pages 52-54 of our Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. I just love the fun colors in this DSP featuring Basic Gray, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Pacific Point and Whisper White. The Crushed Curry ribbon is fab! I love how it looks a bit tattered. Its soft and easy to make a bow with! Its in the Crushed Curry Color.

Now, please grab a yummy beverage and hop along with me to see my other talented friends blogs! We are here to share a ton of fun festive inspiration with you!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great day, make something pretty and get inky! *hugs*

Glitter and Glam Girls Blog Hop! Masculine Cards!

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on

May 6th, 2019

Welcome to the April edition of the Glitter and Glam Girls Blog Hop! I hope you enjoyed our first hop last month. I appreciate you stopping by the Chalet. This month we are featuring Masculine Cards.

I have a hard time making masculine cards, so this was a great challenge. Stampin Up! is offering a great suite of product in our Occasions Catalog, called Geared Up Garage and this suite makes it easy to make some GREAT dude cards, for sure!

I have good news too! This stamp set and coordinating dies, are carrying over! Yay! But, the designer series paper is not.. boo! But thats okay.. because you really dont need it with these great stamps. Look at the background I made! I love that “grease spot” stamp. Its so cool and grungy!

Here are the designing digits:

Cut a piece of whisper white card stock at 4 1/4 x 11 inches and score at 5 1/2 inches.

Cut a piece of Smoky Slate card stock at 4 x 5 1/4 inches. Stamp the “grease spot” stamp and the “nuts and bolts” stamp in basic gray. Also stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment in basic gray.

I punched a 2 1/4 inch circle w/ my 2 1/4 inch circle punch in basic black.

I used a scrap piece of whisper white cardstock and stamped the mustang in black memento ink and cut out w/ the die and die cut machine. I also cut a piece of 4 x 3/4 inch piece of tranquil tide card stock

Assemble as pictured. I did use dimensionals on the back of the black circle and also the back of the mustang car.

A super easy masculine card all set for a dude birthday!

Thank you for stopping by.. now, lets visit my demonstrator friends blogs as well so you can be inspired to make more masculine cards to keep in your stash to have on hand!

Remember, make a card.. send a card! A text or email is nice but receiving a handmade card with your handwriting shows you care and it came from the heart!

Have a great day, make something pretty and get inky! *hugs*
