On Your Wedding Day!

Simply Create Too has another challenge starting today.

 

Theme: A Special Occasion

 

It runs for 2 weeks and you can make a card or other project for any special occasion.

 

I decided to make a wedding card:

 

 

Any of you who visit me regularly know that I am not a stamper, but I gave it a try on this card anyway. Using the Wedding Wishes stamp set from Jaded Blossom, I stamped both the image and the sentiment on the front of this 4x4 card. I have a lot to learn as you can see. I think my ink pad is either drying up or that I did not press hard enough to get good coverage onto my image before stamping; but I still like the card. I think the image is beautiful! And this set of stamps will make giving cards for weddings very easy!!! I used Papertrey Ink's Vintage Cream cardstock for the base and the background for the image. The black cardstock came from my scraps. I inked the image with Memento Tuxedo Black.

 

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope you will join us for the challenge. And maybe you veteran stampers could share with me some tips. LOL!

 

Many Blessings,

The Witches Come Out to Play!

It is that time of year when the witches come out to play!!!
 

 

I have another project for you using a KaDoodle Bug Designs file.

 

Again I have used the No Place Like Home file. The wicked witch doesn't look so wicked anymore! She just needed a bit of a makeover.

 

 

 The background paper used for this card is old and I have no idea what it is called or who made it. I had bought a monthly kit from Taylored Expressions forever ago and it was one of the papers in it. In fact, I had put this card base together last year when I was doing another Halloween project and did not use it. When going through things in my stash the other day, I saw it and it was begging to be finished. I also went through a bag of simple die cuts that has been laying around from past projects and found the spider web. I think the cut for it came from MKC, but I can't be certain. So this is what I do know, the droopy goo die is from Martha Stewart. The button with the spider at the top is from the $1 bin at Pat Catan's (local craft store). And the cute witch is from KaDoodle Bug Designs and she was pieced together late Wednesday night. Too late in fact!!! LOL!!!!!!

 

I used my Cameo to cut all the pieces, inked them with Memento and Papertrey Inks inks, and pieced her together. I finished her off with some doodling and a sweet Peachy Keen face. She was adhered to the card using pop dots as was the button. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps - the Bewitched set. And if I might say so myself, she turned out so very cute!!! I love what Peachy Keen faces do for my piecings!!!

 

Supplies Used:

KaDoodle Bug Designs: No Place Like Home

Peachy Keen Stamps: Christmas in July Face Assortment

Scrappy Moms Stamps: Bewitched

Martha Stewart: Drippy Goo Border

Various Cardstocks and DP from my Scrap Stash

Alright, now head on over to KaDoodle Bug Designs and see what you can pick up from Melissa's store to complete your Halloween projects. I know there has been a bunch of cute fall and Halloween files released in the last day or so.

So Thankful for You!

 

It is Fall Y'all! Or at least it feels like it in my part of the country. Temps are in the 60's and the leaves are starting to change colors.

 

Today, I have a card for you using a file from KaDoodle Bug Designs called No Place Like Home.

I had to take the scarecrow off of the Yellow Brick Road.

 

 

The card is a basic A2 size with a background paper from Doodlebug's Happy Harvest from 2013. I enlarged the scarecrow in my Silhouette DE software to fit the front. As I cut the pieces, I inked my edge for that much needed dimension (I can't make a card without doing it!). For the face, I dug through my Peachy Keen face assortments and decided on the Christmas in July Face set. To finish off the scarecrow, I inked the cheeks and added some doodling with my white gel pen.

 

The sentiment had to be something to reflect fall and I think we always associate fall with gratitude, right?! For this, I die cut a Spellbinders' Scalloped Oval and stamped it using My Craft Spot's Simply Sentiment stamp set. After inking the edge of the die, I added the Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine bow. Both the scarecrow and the sentiment were then pop dotted to the front of the card.

 

Supplies Used:

KaDoodle Bug Designs: No Place Like Home

Trendy Twine: Chocolate Truffle

Peachy Keen Stamps: Christmas in July Face Assortment

My Craft Spot: Simply Sentiments

Baby Sock Tote

I have a Trendy Twine Little Sister post for you today!

 

This month we are showcasing the Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine and sharing baby projects.

 

 

I am very excited about this as I will be hosting a baby shower very soon. This is going to help me brainstorm some ideas.

I decided to make a tote to hold baby socks in. This is my prototype for the shower. I will make several of these for table decorations with a paper choice modification to match the colors of the shower. This tote with the blue, pink, and brown colors would be great if the baby's gender is unknown. My finished project for the shower will use this twine though as we know the baby is a girl!!! I really like the chocolate and pink color combo.

 

 

Using a tote from Lori Whitlock, I resized it larger to fit my need. I assembled it and attached the side panels. I then cut out the Floppy Bear file from LSHD and inked it and pieced it together. The Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine was wrapped around the caddy three times and tied off with a bow. I pop dotted the bear to the front.

On the back side, I used a Spellbinder's die to cut and emboss a scalloped oval. I added a baby sentiment to the oval from My Craft Spot and inked the edges. This was also attached with pop dots.

To finish it off, I tied a double bow to the handle and added a piece of twine there as well. What a super sweet project and it will not be hard to make the ten or so that I will need!
