Simple Saturday: Marina Mist for Baby Boy

Today's Simple Saturday card was inspired by none other than YOU!  My Loyal Readers and Instagram and Facebook Followers and Friends!  I asked everyone to vote for their favorite shade of blue for a baby boy and the winner was---Marina Mist!  This color really did work perfectly and it looks great all together for the perfect baby boy shower card!

See it here:


This simple card is a single layer and I stamped a cute little teddy bear from Cookie Cutter Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set and made him hold an umbrella so I could use the "Showers of Happiness" sentiment (from the Moon Baby Stamp Set). 

I masked off all but the umbrella on a stamp that was also from the Moon Baby Stamp Set to stamp it into the bear's paw.  The hardest part of today's card---coloring in the umbrella---and even I didn't struggle here!  Haha!

I threw in a smidge of Dapper Denim, because I really liked the contrast of the deeper blue.  I also felt that it softened the Marina Mist just a touch more, to truly give it the "baby" boy feel.  A couple little Marina Mist Enamel Shapes (dots) and the card was complete.

Here's a full list of supplies I used:

It looks like a lot of "stuff" went into this card, but honestly, you could probably omit quite a bit, too.  You could do some paper-piecing to avoid coloring in the umbrella, you could merely fussy-cut the banner edges and the bow tie for your bear---there really are many ways to cut down on some of the supplies I used to make this card even easier.

Have a great Saturday!  Today is wedding day and tomorrow is the shower!  What are your plans this weekend???

Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberry Pie

I am a little bit sad that Sale-A-Bration 2018 is coming to a close this month.  Stampin' Up! has had some amazing products to give away this year and I have seen some really creative uses for extending their life! Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs is no exception!  I saw her use the  Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  and make a pie card!  It was so stinking cute, that I just had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it and share my interpretation with my Papercrafting Passionista Friends!  PS: The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!!!  So you can get this adorable embossing folder with a $100 purchase (it's a part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle, which is a $100 Reward) and  the embossing folder is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog!  So you'll be a step ahead of the new products!  Wow! Here's what I used to make this sweet card: Supply List: Fruit Basket Bun

Tutorial Tuesday: VIA Coffee Holder

Are you following me on Pinterest yet??  If not, please do!  There's a bunch of amazing goodness there!  One of which, is an extremely popular pin---my VIA Coffee Holder. I enjoy trying new things and one day, while wondering the aisles of my local Target, I stumbled upon these new little packages of coffee, called "VIA".  It's by Starbucks and they are instant coffee singles.  Whhaaat!!?  Naturally, (because I'm a victim of marketing) I bought some.  Then I thought, These are so cute!  I want to do something with them and my Coffee Cafe Suite!   After that, my VIA Coffee Holder/Folder (whatever you want to call it) was born. I imagine you can see why this is not just my  most re-pinned pin, but it's pretty popular on Pinterest, in general.  Woot! Now, my friends, I will show you how to make your own with my Tutorial Tuesday! Supply List: Cardstock (I used Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake for the samples above) Check out the Coffee

Tutorial Tuesday: Fold Over Gift Box

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that your week is going well!  Can you believe that August is half-way over??  I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week!  Eek!  I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households.  (Or all households, really.  I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!) Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush!  I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit! This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile!  You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some
