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.

Completed Layout:



Supplies:
Studio Calico: Handmade Kit and Pin Cushion Kit
Ranger: Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Pumice Stone Distress Ink and Glossy Accents
We R Memory Keepers: Corner Chomper (1/2 inch)

MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch 46

Hello,
I have another card I created for this week's MFT challenge. Here is the sketch:
My Card:

For this card I used Who's That E Girl. My card based was cut out of black American Crafts cardstock. I stamped the image on Copic X-Press Blending Card  with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in the skin and lap top with my Copics and paper pieced the rest. For the paper piecing and layers of the card I used Cosmo Cricket's Mini Deck Circa 1934. To assemble the card I took a strip of the pattern paper and cut a banner shape at the bottom, used another pattern paper from the stack to cut the scallops using Fiskars Scallop Sentiment Punch and used the zig zag stitch of my sewing machine with black thread. Attached it to the right hand side of the card.  Cut another scallop with the punch with another coordinating pattern paper and attached some gingham ribbon and attached it going over top of the banner. Cut a strip of paper and rounded the edges using We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper on the 1/4 inch side to create the tab, attached it to the stamped panel with the zig zag stitch and added my sentiment.  Added two Recollection's Pearls to the left side of the tab. For the flowers on the left hand corner I used two MFT dies Mini Rolled Roses and Rolled FLower to finish the flowers I added some of the Recollection's Pearls to the center. Made two bows with my Mini Bow Easy and rounded the top left side of the card with the Corner Chomper to complete the card.

Copic colors used:
E000, E00, E21, E27
N0, N2, N4, N6
Special Black 110

That's it for today.

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,
Yar!tza

Studio Calico Layout

Hello,
I created this layout for this week's sketch by Studio Calico.  Entries are due by Tomorrow 11-7-2011 if you want to play along.

Now on to my layout:

For this layout I used bit and pieces from Glee Club, Meadow Lark, Perennial (only image I could find) and Field Guide Studio Calico kits.  I cut the circle with my Fiskars Ultra Shape Express and Super Sized Circles Shape Templates. I stamped the arrows with VersaMark Frost ink pad and the planes were either cut from pattern paper or punches with Ek Sucess Airplane Medium Punch. To make my Photos look like tags I used Fiskars Squeeze Corner Punch Chip of the Ol' Block, attache some  We R Memory Keepers Grommets, Twill ribbon to the tops of the tags and sewed around edges with my sewing machine.  For the border strips I used the Fiskars Upper Crest borner punch. The picture looks like there is a huge shadow going across it and the shadow is actually in the picture itself. These were taken with my iphone. It doesn't provide the best quality photos but I love the fact that I don't miss a moment by searching for a camera or having it dead when it's in need.

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.

Missing in action plus card share

Yeah so I've been absent from the blog for a month. To start things off my niece and nephew are here to visit for the whole summer, so it's been me and 4 kids all 6 yrs. old and under by myself since hubby was at school for the first three weeks.  Man you really learn how to manage your time better.  Also, I'm trying out for a few design teams. First time ever trying out so I'm not holding my breath. But I really wanted to challenge myself and do something that scares me. I'm a pretty shy, non confrontational person so this is really out of my element. I've been creating, just not things that I can put up on the blog yet.  I have made a heck of a lot of cards these last few days, though.  I've been all about challenging myself lately and I really wanted to try and make simpler cards that will mail easily.  I find myself paying a lot of money is postage when I have to mail out a card to a friend or family member. That really does not bother me but when I gift cards in packages I want to make sure that the recipient does not have to pay a lot in postage.  The first card did not meet my challenge requirements but I think by the time I got to the last card I succeeded. Here are just a few of the cards I've worked on as of late.


This is the first card. It started out good and then I gave in.  It just felt too plain and I though a felt flower would do the trick.


Supplies:
Lawn Fawn: Fanciful Frames & Just my Type, too
MFT die namics: Rolled Flower
Prima: White Mulberry leaves
Tsuikineko: VersaMark
American Crafts: Zing embossing powder Chestnut
Core'dinations: Cardmaker Series Pearls Baby pink pearl
Martha Stewart: Score Board
Papertrey ink: Dark Chocolate Felt
Copic: YG63
Misc. Pearl and wood paper


Then I figured, well the first one has dimension, Why not?



Supplies:
Tsukineko: VersaMark
Darice: Self-Stick Chalkboard Sheets
Misc: Pearls 

Than I decided to cut it out and really try. Not as happy with this one. It just looks so unfinished. Maybe if I added a little bit of pattern paper it wouldn't look so bad.


Supplies:
Recollections: Kraft cardstock
We r Memory Keepers: Corner Chomper round 1/2 inch


Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope that within a few weeks I can start keeping on with my blog on a more daily version.

Bookmarks


I made these a few weeks back to take to my daughter's class mates on her birthday. Her school is a  no food school but the teacher likes for the parents to come to the class and read the class a book (even though I didn't get to read the book, Isabella read it all by herself) I still wanted to have a little something for the kids.

Breakdown and supplies:
This is a great project to use up all those scraps you have laying around.
You'll need some sort of hear laminating machine.  I used my Provo Craft Yourstory with Scotch's Thermal Laminating Purches for Business I.D. Cards.
For the boys I used Recollection's Kraft cardstock, a frame stamp from SU!'s Label Classics and SU!'s Wild West Alphabet to create each child's initial with Colorbox's chalk ink in Chestnut Roan .  I used Fiskars Gettin' Antsy squeeze punch for the ant die cut. To finish it up I used the Crop-A-Dile to add a hole at the top of the bookmark and added some scrap ribbon.
For the girls I used a Unity Stamp Company frame from KOM 11/2010 Picture Perfect and SU!'s Wild West Alphabet to create the initials. With Recollection's Kraft cardstock and Colorbox's chalk ink in Chestnut Roan. The butterfly die cut is a Martha Stewart punch called 3-in-1 classic butterfly. To finish it up I used the Crop-A-Dile to add the hole at the top of the bookmark and some scrap ribbon.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by:

My first Papertrey Ink card

I've had about 5 of their sets that I've been afraid to ink up. I think they're just so beautiful. Well I finally got the guts to ink one of the sets and make a card. For this card I used Everyday Button Bits. This set was specifically designed for you to use buttons. Love it!! On the website you'll see that there is some gray shading well that part does not stamp. That's where the buttons go. Fantastic HUH?
Here is my card:

Breakdown and supplies:
First I made a standard size card with Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Stamped Hero Art's Cloud Background stamp with Hero Art's Shadow ink in Soft Pool. Took my Papertrey ink set and cut the hot air balloons apart.  All three came together but I wanted them spread out through the card.  Stamped them with Memento Dew Drop in Tuxedo Black. I tied black embroidery floss to random buttons from my collection to fit the size of the hot air balloon.  I attached them either using Zots or Glossy Accents. For the banner die cut I used Papertrey ink's Double-Ended Banners die set and then stamped one of the banners from Papertrey ink's Banner Builder Set, inside I used the sentiment "Soaring by to say hi" from the Everyday button bits set all on Papertrey ink's Stamper's select white cardstock. Inked the edges of the banner with Hero Arts Shadow ink in Soft Pool and to finish the card I rounded the bottom two edges with We R Memory Keepers' round Corner Chomper.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by:
