Simple Christmas

 

 

Good morning!  I have more Halloween and Fall to show you but haven't got my photos loaded.  This is one of the cards I did for my last class.  It is very CAS and would be a good if you wanted to make a lot of the same card to send out.  The stamp is from Christmas blessings and the card stock colors are Bubblegum Green and Very Vanilla.  I embossed with the Elegant Bouquet Folder.  Thanks for stopping by!

Eat, Drink, & be Scary

Good morning!  My favorite part of Halloween is making little treats so I have been working on a few.  For this one I used the Label Framelit die and cut it in card stock for the back part and then cut it in DSP for the pocket and to cover the card stock. I cut a smaller Label for the stamped image and used an older but favorite stamp set called Booglie Eyes.  I usually have over 400 Trick or Treaters and I try to make a little something to hand out but it is something much simpler than these.  These will probably be for the girls to give to classmates or for my four year olds at Sunday  School.

Creepy Crawly

Good morning!  Today's project was made for my son Chad.  Chad has always been fascinated with bugs, any kind of bugs.  When he was little, I always checked his pockets before doing his laundry and would almost always find a few insects and the occasional earth worm.  He will be 32 soon and I found a jar in his room after he had been to visit recently that contained the remnants of a spider and when I asked him about it he said, "Oh yeah, that was a black widow".   I know he will love this creepy crawly card!  thanks for stopping by.

Boo!

Good morning!  Hope your day is going as great as mine is, I feel good today and I haven't been able to say that in over a week.  I had something in mind using the Cannery Framelit dies but wasn't sure how it was going to work.  I wanted to add something to my jar and then cut a clear layer to go over top so that it looked like it was actually in the jar. I tried the thick window sheets and although I had to run it through a couple times it did cut.  Next was the question of how to attach it without it showing...I used glue dots around the rim and then tied the two layers together(paper and window sheet) with Linen thread covering the glue dots.  The lollipops were made with the Owl Punch and the retired Bat Punch.  The sticks for the lollipops were cut with the Petite Purse die.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Dirtday

 

Good Monday morning! Today I have a birthday card for a little boy, Dalton got his first invitation to a birthday party so  I had to make a card for him to take.  I used the I Dig You stamp set and the DSP is actually Howlstooth and Scaringbone which shows the versatility of this pretty collection of papers.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween

Good Sunday afternoon!  Seems like forever since I posted but so many "other" things have gotten in the way.   Once school starts back I get in the mood for Fall so I pulled out a few Halloween stamp sets out and maybe I will be able to show you a few more projects this week.  This little girl is from a retired set but she is one of my favorites.  I did use an image from the Mixed Media set which is current,  the spider web image.  The DSP is from the Howlstooth  & Scaringbone collection.  Thanks for stopping by!

Owl Treat Bag

Good evening!  I am posting really late today, I haven't felt very well today but finally started feeling a little better.  I have a very cute project today designed by my friend Elaine L.  I love it and will be making more of these for sure.  My friend Marsha J. makes the best white chocolate popcorn and we decided that would be the perfect thing to put in the bag.  We used the Top Note for the body and various sizes of circles for the eyes.  The nose was hand cut.  Thanks for stopping by!

Chocolate!

Good afternoon!  Today's project was made by my friend Paula who is also a SU demonstrator.  This little treat holder is so cute and is easy to make.  It takes an 8x8 piece of paper, a few scores, a few folds and it is done.  It is big enough to hold a 3x3 card or a gift card.  I will be making more of these for sure, thanks Paula.

Good morning!  Today I have a 3x3 card that was designed by Marilyn McCree.  Marilyn is a SU demonstrator and she came to my get together last weekend.  I love how she used one of the Delicate Design embossing folders and then die cut it with on of the  the Apothecary Accents Framelit dies.  The Gumball Green panel is embossed with the Chevron folder.  Thanks for stopping by!

Back to School!

Good morning!  My girls are back to school today and I think they were as excited as I was, they miss seeing all their friends.  My girls love giving gifts to their teachers so I think this will be a good gift for Sadie to take to her teacher.  I made the crayon wreath first and had some left over crayons so I glued them onto a Fancy Favor box, added a chalkboard paper to the front and some reinforcement to the bottom.  This could be used as a pencil box.  Thanks for stopping by!
