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:

Glitter And Glam Blog Hop – This months theme: Thanksgiving!

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on

October 7th, 2019

Hi! Welcome to this month’s blog hop with the Glitter and Glam Girls Blog Hop Team! We are happy to share some great Thankgiving ideas with you this month!

I have to say, I am LOVING our fall choices in our 2019 Stampin Up! Holiday Catalog! The colors, the designer series papers and the bundles! It all makes me so happy! I am pretty partial to fall anyway! I just don’t enjoy what comes after fall! Brr! I am a Michigan girl, after all!

So, here is my card! It features the DSP from the Gather Together Suite and the Harvest Hellos Bundle (with a punch! Yahoo!).

Let’s share some digits:

Terracotta Tile Card Stock is 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2 inches

Whisper White card stock is cut at 4 x 5 1/4 inches

The DSP is cut at 2×4 inches

I cut a piece of the Terracotta In Color Ribbon @ 5 inches and wrapped it around to the back. I then took a smaller piece and tied it into a knot.

I used scrap pieces for the pumpkin and punch. The colors of the pumpkins are Pear Pizzaz, Terracotta Tile and Mint Macaron. The “stems” are Early Espresso and the sentiment from the Harvest Hellos stamp set is in Early Espresso Ink.

I love this layout and could be used for other stamp sets as well, different themes.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today! Now, please continue through our blog and check out all of my blog team’s creations.. because they are super talented and they rock! 🙂
