Halloween Treats 2

Hello again,

For todays post I have another set of treat bags I created.  This set is for my daughter's class.  They wanted a Harvest theme for their party and I knew the Paper Smooches stamp set "Autumn Groves" would be perfect for it.  I kept it pretty simple. I had to make 25 of these so I didn't want anything that was going to be too time consuming.  Hope you like the project. If you have any questions please let me know and as always all products will be linked at the bottom of the post.

Creating 3D flowers

Hello,
I have a quick video today demonstrating how you can create 3D flowers out of flat flower shapes, but first I want to give you a background on the picture. My daughter has been big on taking pictures lately. She's got one of our old digital cameras. It's really big and bulky but it's easy for her to hold. One day she was playing around taking picture and she took this wonderful picture of herself. I knew right away I needed to print it and make a layout with it.

Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge 150

Hello everyone,
For today's post I have an altered organizer I created using the sketch:

It's going to be a long post so please hold on till the end. LOL!

The front cover:

 I have no idea what this Christmas paper is. I've had it for years and years. I bought it at Michaels and it came with like 80 sheets of really flimsy thin paper.  I'm trying to use it up since I feel so guilty having all this paper and buying more. But I think next year it's going to be donated to my daughter's class and I'm buying new paper. What I did first was cut 2 pieces of chipboard and the pattern paper to 5x7. Ran the pattern paper through my Xyron 900 and attached it to the chipboard.  Used the Corner Chomper (1/4 inch size) on the outer two corners. With my Crystal Stickles I added a little sparkle to the cover. Let it dry. Added a banner strip using pattern paper from the same Christmas stack. The scallop border was created using Quickutz Scallop Edges die out of some scrap paper and added some Martha Stewart clear gem stickers, can't find a link for these. The snowflake was created with glitter paper I found at Target's $1 spot using my Cricut Expression and the Christmas Solutions Cartridge.  Added a huge Jolee's Boutique Vintage Gem in the center. For the label I used Take Note-Holidays Taylored Expressions stamp set stamped with Jenni Bowlin Chili Powder ink on Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White cardstock and Take Note die 3 to cut the shape out. All the edges were distressed using Broken China distress ink.

The insides:

The inside pages were cut at 4.5x6.5. I wanted the inside pages smaller so that the tabs don't stick out past the organizer. Behind the tab page are 5 pages of regular computer paper.  I created all the tabs using Taylored Expressions Keeping Tabs stamp set and Keeping Tabs die. Same design, paper, ink and stamp set as the front cover except I used Take Note die 2 and Studio 18 Rhinestones, found at Michaels $1 spot. I have four tabs total, two that look like the picture above with the sentiments To Do and Gifts and two that look like envelopes with the sentiments Coupons and Receipts.

Envelope Front

Envelope Back:

For the envelopes I used my Silhouette and pocket_envelope_c00194_41853 file from the Silhouette online store. To make sure the flaps stay closed I used round velcro dots. 

To bind the organizer I used the We R Memory Keepers Cinch Version 1 and the binding wire 1.25 in silver. Attached 3 bows of seam binding and in one of them I ran a red clip through it with a small pencil.

Thanks for hanging till the end,

Lawnscaping Challenge #21

Hello,
I created this card for the current challenge over at Lawscaping challenge blog. The theme is Thank You. I was late with this and missed the deadline but I still wanted to share it with you guys.

My card:

My mom is hosting Thanksgiving this year and I needed to make a card and this is what I came up with. The idea of this card was for it to look like a door with a wreath hanging on the front of it.  Kinda came across. I feel like something is missing but I just can't put my finger on it.  For the card base I used The Paper Company Kraft cardstock. For the pattern paper I used Studio Calico's Wild Flower from the Countryside collection. I cut the card layer the same dimension as the card base and then cut 4 rectangles smaller to make them look like the panel popped up with pop dots. Added a Tim Holtz Hitch Fastener to make it look like it was the door knob. For the wreath I stamped the Turkey from Turkey Days Lawn Fawn Stamp on Copic Xpress Blending Card. Colored in with my Copic Sketch markers. Distressed over top of it with Vintage Photo distress ink and cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles LG. For the wreath I used two different Nestabilities set. Classic Inverted Scalloped LG and Beaded Circles cut out of Studio Calico's Atmosphere pattern paper from the Elementary Collection.  Attached some hemp twine so that it looked like it was hanging by the top of the door. The banner at the bottom was created using Papertrey Ink's Double-Ended Banners, two white prima leaves colored with my copics, a button created with Epiphany Craft's 14mm Button Studio Tool Round and a custom sentiments using Lawn Fawn's Harold's ABC stamp set stamped with Jenni Bowlin's Chili Powder ink.

Copic colors used:

E25, E27, E29

R24, R27, R29

Unity Stamp Co. Sketch Challenge

This card is created for Unity Stamp Co. Kit of The Month challenge. They provide a sketch and you make a card interpreting it using one of their Kits of the Month stamps. Click here for more info.
I chose Just Be You from Dec. 2010 to complete my card. Stamped the scallop circle with Jenni Bowlin for Ranger Fountain Pen ink on pattern paper from Authentique 6x6 paper pad Blissful. Cut the outside of the scallop with scissors and used one of my Standard Circles Large Nestabilities to cut the middle of the scallop circle and the top later of the card base, I used The Paper Company Kraft cardstock found at Joanns for my base. I have this really old Ellison design die called Tags, Traditional. I cut the large tag with American Crafts Charcoal cardstock. The scallops were cut using Quickutz die Scallop Edges using more of the pattern paper from the same Aunthentique paper pad, stitched around the edges and added a button using Epiphany Crafts Button Studio Tool Hear 20 with some jute twine tied in a bow. For the inside of the card I stamped the bee from the same Unity Kit with Stazon ink in Jet Black and colored it in with Prismacolor pencils in PC915 Lemon Yellow and PC904 Light Cerulean Blue. That finished this card.

YCU Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to another YCU blog hop.  This is my first hop and I'm really excited to be able to share my card with you today.  You should of came from Danielle's blog. If not please stop by and see her creation.  If you would like to learn more about YCU stop by their blog for more info. They have challenges with great prices so don't miss out.  On to my card.

The theme for this hop and for the current challenge is making masculine cards. I created this card for hubs for Valentines. Yeah I know it's a little early but  I knew as soon as I saw this set from Paper Smooches I had to have it and what I was going to create with it and I didn't want to lose my idea. That sentiment is fantastic.  The set is called Boob Tubes. For the base card I used The Paper Company Kraft cardstock, found and Joanns, for the pattern paper I used Basic Gray Curio 6x6 paper pad, some Glossy Accents to accentuate the hearts, knobs and plug.  To create the face I used some medium sized googly eyes found at your local craft store and for the nose and mouth I used Peachy Keen Stamps PK-573 Basic Paper Doll Faces. All stamped with Jenni Bowlin for Ranger Fountain Pen ink.  Rounded the top corners with We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, 1/2 inch side, and the card is complete!

That's it for me today. Thanks for stopping by. Now please head over to TaniaA's blog to see what' she's created.
