OSAT January Blog Hop - Purses Poppies and Paris

Hello and welcome to my blog and the first OSAT Blog Hop of the year. Today's hop is going to be a fun one, and we have some great things to share with you. This month's theme was Purses Poppies and Paris. I decided to showcase some of each of the items mentioned today. It took me a little bit to decided on what I wanted to focus on and have a little play. I finally decided to go with some of all the three listed. Here's a look at my projects.

Tips & Tricks:

I started out by designing my card. I pulled all the colors for my projects from the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used the designer series paper as the tie together for both projects. I used Pool Party as the my base color for both projects. For my card i stamped the Eiffel Tower Image in Pool Party and used the matching die to cut it out. I added some poppies that I die cut from Petal Pink and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I then layered them behind and in front of this image. I added Champagne foil accents in both the poppies and the sentiment.

For the purse I used the All Dressed Up Dies and cut it from the Designer Series Paper. I added Pool Party and Champagne Foil accents to tie both in. I added the Amour sentiment to a small whisper white piece of cardstock and popped it up with mini dimensionals.

Parisian Blossoms Facebook Live Mini Class 1/8/20

Hello everyone, it's time for this weeks Facebook Live Mini Class! This week I am going to share with you three projects featuring products from the Parisian Blossoms Suite from the January - June Mini Catalog & a couple products from the 2020 Saleabration Brochure.

Saleabration is Stampin' Up!'s biggest Sale of the year; where you get rewarded with free items based on your orders. There are two different levels as the last few year.

During this weeks Facebook Live Mini Class I am going to be making three fun Parisian Themed projects with you. I decided to use one of my favorite new Suites in tonight's mini class. I just love everything about this suite and one day I hope to be able to go and visit Paris myself. That's one of my biggest dreams. So I thought it was only fitting to travel there by the craft room until that day.

We all fall in love when Ella Fitzgerald sings, “I love Paris in the springtime,” and you’ll fall in love with the Parisian Blossoms Suite Bundle just the same. The soft, elegant motifs mixed with lovely touches of foil evoke images of Paris when the blossoms are blooming and love is in the air. This special suite includes two bundles so you can enjoy more creative options! Cherish every moment, always and forever, when you show your love with the beautiful blossoms and romantic images of the Eiffel Tower. Add a few dainty champagne rhinestones and elegant metallic-edge ribbon to take your paper crafts to Paris and back!

In case you've never joined me for Facebook Live, I go live every week, (typically on Wednesday at 8:00 pm CST) on my Facebook business page with one to three projects. Everyone is welcome to join!

If you were unable to join me live I will have uploaded the video here afterwards. If you are viewing this post by email you may have to click here to see the video.

This Weeks Projects:

First we will make this fun little card that features not only the beautiful Parisian Blossoms Speciality Designer Series Paper and some new punches but the Sale-a-bation stamp set Thoughtful Blossom and matching Small Bloom Punch.

Next we will feel all the Amour that Paris has to offer when we make this fun card featuring the new Eiffel Tower Die featuring the Parisian Beauty Bundle in this Suite.

The last project I shared during the Facebook live was this super quick and easy Parisian Treat Holder that will hold either Ghirardelli Chocolates or some other type of treat just in time for Valentine's Day. You can check the PDF for the measurements.

**All of the details for today's three

projects can be found on the
