Out with the Old In with the New ---Masculine Birthday

Welcome to this month's blog hop for the Remarkably Create Team!

 This month's theme is Out with the Old and in with the New!

We are finishing off the Holiday Catalog and getting ready to start our brand new Occasions catalog along with the Awesome Sale-A-Bration event too!  You know what that is right?!  For every $50 you spend on product during Sale-A-Bration you get to choose an item of your choice from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog!  The best time of the Stampin Up! year.  So that was the goal -- to mix up the Holiday Catalog with the New Catalogs.  I needed a masculine birthday card for a friend who is a hunter and thought this would be the time to create it!  I actually used products from the Holiday Catalog--the Sale-A-Bration Catalog--- the Spring Catalog and the Annual Catalog too!  Here is my sample.....

and here is the inside of the card...

The Holiday Catalog is still available until Jan. 3rd.  

The products I used from there are the 

From the Occasions Catalog I used the ...

From the Annual Catalog I used....

and then the sentiment Happy Birthday comes from a Sale-A-Bration Stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed my sample for today's blog hop! The next stop on the hop is  Deanna Pavinato!

Team Blog Hop!

So the weirdest thing happened!  I posted this a few days before the day it would appear on here for you guys to see.  Then I got up early on Monday morning and check out my post--looked good and thought I can't wait to see the rest of the teams samples--but have to run got a few crazy days coming up.  Now those crazy days came and went and here I come to check out the other designs and to check out the hop via my links on my blog and there is NOTHING on my blog anymore but pictures!  All of the writing and links are gone--WHAT???!!!!  That has never happened before??  So needless to say this post as been more than messed up for the last two days.  I am going to try to fill in some details but am not home and don't really have time to do all that I did originally--sorry.  But here I go....  Welcome to this months blog hop.  Again I am sorry if you were here and it was not what it was supposed to be -- some crazy glitch I guess...

All of my cards for today are continuing to use the new and limited Thoughtful Branches Bundle.  I mixed it with the new in-colors and some Soft Suede and Whisper White.  Love the new in colors.  And this set is crazy versatile--any gender, any occasion!  My goal for today's cards was to make some gender friendly cards to keep in my stash--so I have them for ANYONE--male or female.  The first card is using the new in color Emerald Envy and Soft Suede along with the woodgrain embossing folder.  I also used a few circle punches.  You can see a complete list of supplies for all cards at the end.

This card is using Dapper Denim.  Love this color and I love any stamp set with birds and these cute little ones are so fun especially with the matching dies so there is no fussy cutting.  Love that!

And finally I chose to show off the Peekaboo Peach in color.  Love how all of the new colors match so nicely with the soft suede color.  I love the leaf in this set--so pretty and again can be cut with the matching die!

Thanks so much for stopping by for this hop--be sure to check out the rest of the teams designs!  They are all so talented you will not be sorry.  Next in the list is Nancy Amato--you can get there by clicking the image below.

And here is the supply list...

Team Blog Hop!

I can not believe how excited I am!  Finally I created--first time in well over a year!  And how fun it was.  I am so happy that I decided to join my Stampin Up! Team blog hop--it forced me to finally get my butt in one spot--forget about all the new home stuff and just create!  It was so fun.  I used the new bundle called Thoughtful Branches.  What a great stamp set that comes with coordinating dies! This bundle will be available for non-demos from August 2nd until the 31st.  I combined the bundle with the brand new in colors.  Love them   

So let me show you some of what I created for your viewing pleasure today.  My first project is actually going into a 12x12 frame and being sent to a friend of mine who is fighting cancer and other difficult things at the moment.  Thought it would be a nice reminder that I am thinking of her....Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall....

Isn't that fun--I love when you can make a stamp set work for any season or time of year.  This really is  a super versatile set.    I actually chose to make a simple thank you card next--one that could be used for any gender!  This time I used the the leave stamp and die.

I am really loving this new color Emerald Envy.  A really nice shade of green. I used the new in color Designer Paper stack too.  Love the font on the printed side of this paper.  Finally I had to make at lest one card with the hydrangea image as they are my favorites!  So I used the new Flirty Flamingo ink and paper for this fun girly card.

 As I said previously this is such a fun set to work with--believe me you will be seeing much more with it from me!  Now that I created a few things I have the desire to do it more and more--of course you know how that goes.  So so good to be back!  Supplies listed at very end of post.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  I am thrilled to be back in action and hope that you will return again real soon.  Be sure to hop on over to Nancy's blog to see what she created for or hop. I know it will be amazing--our team is full of fabulous talent!  Click the link above or the image below to go to the next blog on the hop.  The entire blog hop list is also inserted for your convenience.

Thanks again for visiting please take a moment to leave a comment with you thoughts.
