OSAT Blog Hop: No Rules!!

Welcome to the One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop!  I am so thrilled that you stopped by The Creativity Cave!  Whether this is your first stop or you are joining in from Pam's awesome blog, I can't wait for you to see what I've been up to!!  The theme is NO Rules (oh, please know how much I like this!!)  I guess the only thing better would be some kind of rule-breaking theme! 😉  

So I was working on some sketch challenges a few days ago, and one of the ones I LOVED was a challege that was already over, but I loved the sketch so much, it inspired my project for today.  I was pretty giddy with the look of this card and so I knew it would be perfect for a special occasion, like a blog hop! 

So this is the sketch card-the sketch was a basic card with pieces of cardstock going across near the top (the super awesome zebra-print ones on my fabulous card, here)! I had already made a card that was gray with a pop of pink, so I decided to continue that with this printed paper and keep that pink pop of color!  I just LOVE the results!! 

LOOK at how rich the colors are!! Gather your supplies:

• 1/2 sheet of Basic Gray
• 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Smoky Slate
• Scraps of Melon Mambo, Watermelon Wonder, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White
• Botanicals for You, Hello and Botanical Blooms Stamp sets (and Botanical Blooms Framelits)
• 2" strip of Printed paper (Go Wild DSP stack)
• Wink of Stella (yay!)
• Basic Gray and Old Olive ink pads
• White perfect accents
• dimensionals/adhesive

I stamped the Hello at the bottom in Basic Gray, rounded the corners on the printed papers and adhered to the card. I made up the flower and attached that with dimensionals

Easy, peesy!!

Oh how in love am I?  I just think these colors are so my new favorites!!  Do you like them, too?  And that Wink of Stella!!  Sooo perfect!

Now, I couldn't stop there–I had to add the matching gift bag!  So I pulled out my Gift Bag Punch Board–I really like how easy it is to make a gift bag!  The cool part is you can make it any height you'd like so it is perfect for a variety of gifts!

I followed the directions for a Medium sized bag.  I used a full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11.  

Remember to score on all the lines before putting the box together and don't forget to use strong adhesive–I used Fast Fuse!

The tag is 2 x 3 1/4" punched with the scallop tag topper punch.

I hope you love these projects!!  I am so thrilled to have shared them with you!!  If you are interested in any of the products, please check out the links below for the supplies I used as well as a preview for my new Creativity Cave VIP Program!!  And make sure to continue on to the AMAZING Justin's blog for some more fabulous inspiration:
