July Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to another Sweet Stampede Blog Hop! This month we have a design sketch for you! We are using the design sketch and 3 of our favorite Stampin Up! colors in our projects.

I used the Otterly Amazing Suite of products. This suite is on the last chance list, some of the products are discounted and they are while supplies last.

Why did I use a last chance suite? This suite is so adorable and I thought it was perfect to make a summer card to send to my grandchildren. My grandchildren love to receive cards from me. This set reminded me of when I would take them to The Monterey Bay Aquarium. We'd love to watch the otters swim around inside the aquarium and outside in the bay as well.

Plus this bundle had my favorite colors too. If you know me I love any color of blue or green and when their combined, oh my lol. My three favorite colors in this card are Pretty Peacock, Balmy Blue and Caypso Coral.

I love how the Pretty Peacock circle and the Calypso Coral fish go so good together along with the Balmy Blue DSP. All of my favorites!




Measurements for my card:
  1. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Balmy Blue cardstock. Fold in half.
  2. 1" x 5 1/2"  Otterly Adorable DSP rock pattern- Side Layer 
  3. 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" Otterly Adorable DSP wave pattern- Center layer
  4. 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" Pretty Peacock - 2nd to Largest Spotlight on Nature circle
  5. 3" x 3" Otterly Adorable DSP wave pattern- 3rd to Largest Spotlight on Nature circle
  6. 1" x 1 1/2" Pecan Pie- Log
  7. 1/2" x 2"  Basic White- Sentiment
  8. 1" x 4" Calypso Coral- Fish
  9. 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" Mossy Meadow - Small leaves
  10. 1 1/2" x 3" Old Olive- Small & Medium leaves

Father's Day/ Family BBQ favors.

Hello everyone! 

My post that was schedules for last Thursday never posted. Not sure why, but I have it for you today. Although these would have been great as favors for Father's Day you can also use them for a BBQ favor. I made these single one's for my husbands birthday BBQ. If you remember I made a double sauce holder for my Workshop Wednesday project on May 28th. I'll post the video for you below.

I made the single one pretty much the same way. The BBQ sauce bottle was a little bit taller and only one bottle, so the measurements had to be adjusted.

I created the stickers on Avery.com and layered it on a 2" Real Red cardstock circle. 

These were just as much fun making as the double ones.

I also made some rub to go with the BBQ sauce. 
I put the rub in small bags and made another label to put on the bag.
Everyone LOVED them both!
The rub recipe was simple:
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/3 Cup Red Chile Powder
1/3 Cup Green Chile Powder
1/4 Cup Salt
2 TBSP Black Pepper
2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
 If you don't like it too spicy you can leave out one of the chile powders and the red pepper flakes. We're from New Mexico so Red and Green chile is a must haha.

Here is the video from my May 28, 2025 Workshop Wednesday.
The single one goes together the same way. I have the measurements below.

Measurements for the BBQ sauce holder:
4" x 4" Pecan Pie cardstock (2) score one piece at 1" on all 4 sides and the other at 1" on all sides except use a shim (see video). Die cut the piece that you used the shim on with a circle die. Cut the score lines and create your box on both pieces.
2" x 6 1/4" Pecan Pie cardstock (2), score both pieces at 5" & 5 1/4".  Mountain & Valley fold the score lines. Adhere the pieces to the box.
1 7/8" x 4 7/8" Country Woods DSP adhere to the large sections of the cardstock.
1 7/8" x  7/8" Country Woods DSP adhere to the small sections of the cardstock.
I used a 2" circle punch for my label and I used the retired Tailored Tags die for the tag.
