Let’s Get Your Drink On!


It’s the last day of our tour of California over at StampNation!

As part of vacationing, you get an opportunity to check out all of the local food while staying in the area.  One of the most beautiful places of California, which I have had the honour of driving through, is the Napa Valley.  It’s beautiful lush valley produces the most beautiful grapes for world class wines of all kinds.

Now, myself, I am not wine drinker (sorry Cali!) but I do enjoy a nice cool glass lemonade, especially pink lemonade so I chose that drink to inspire my card creation today.  can you guess which card is mine...
Don’t forget to check out the other six cool challenges for our virtual California adventure.  You still have until August 5th to create, share and earn a draw ticket to one of fabulous sponsored prize packages from Ellen Hutson and our mystery sponsor, which Catherine Pooler has revealed it today!  For more details, check this out!

Happy vacationing everyone!

California... Here We Come!

Howdy all!  Today’s the first day of StampNation’s California Virtual Vacation! 

Each day for the next week, Catherine and the Dream Team will be issuing a new California inspired challenge.  Along the way, we’ll be visiting all kinds of cool spots in California where we’ll be pulling cool challenge ideas to get you creating and sharing with us!

California is known of course as the Golden State and that's where our first challenge begins…. GOLD!  You need to add GOLD to your card or project!

So for my card today, I used some cool gold paper that I die cut and added to the top and bottom as well as heat embossing a golden sentiment…
My card today features the detailed  “Poppies” stamp set from Power Poppy.  I first die cut the curve of my white cardstock and stamped the poppy image multiple times along the bottom edge of the curve.  Then I used my Copics to colour it in and some Copic Blender Solution to “dot” and push back some of the colour.  I just love how this effect turned out!

Here’s a quick close up…

I also incorporated this week’s Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge into my card.  This week’s challenge SC550 was to actually use one of the SCS sketches between SC500 & SC549 and I chose SC534:

Here’s a little sneak peek at what the SN Dream Team has created for today’s challenge…
And here another sneak peek at some of the amazing creations our Dream Team is sharing this week...
We are lucky enough to have Ellen Hutson sponsoring our event along with another Mystery Sponsor.  Hmmm.... who could it be... and what have they got in store for a prize?!?!  Catherine will be providing clues all week long...

I hope you liked my card!  I’ll be sharing lots more inspiration this week for our StampNation California Vacation.  I sure hope you’ll join us!

StampNation Blog Hop ~ Beach Style!


Today we are kicking off the StampNation Summer Beach Vacation event with a Blog Hop. Each of the StampNation Dream Team members, along with some of our crafty friends, are hopping along sharing cards inspired by our first challenge, "Beach Style", as well as a peek at our favorite projects from the event!

Here's my card for the first challenge:
Aloha everyone!  I am totally a beach bum so the first challenge up is all about your own beach style.  I was in love with this super cute little caravan from the Avery Elle stamp collection, "Surf's Up!" from Ellen Hutson and I had spied the cutest card by Heather Campbell using the same stamp set and just had to CASE it!

I first die cut the large dotted rectangle from the Avery Elle "Dotted Die" from Ellen Hutson from white cardstock.  I stamped all of the beachy keen images using Memento black ink and then masked them off and used the chevron and paint swishes stamps to paint my back ground.  Next I used Copic Markers to colour my caravan and the Copic Blender Solution to "tie die" it's paint job!  I added some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh for that touch of sparkle!

Here's a quick close up...
