Nuts About You!

Ok, so I have finally done it! I have taken the plunge and have opened a store.

I couldn't decide if I should use eBay or Etsy, but it finally came down to one simple thing. Ease of use, so Etsy it is!!! I would need a course on listing on eBay for that to succeed. LOL!

So here is my first listing:

These pieces are from the Nuts About You set from KaDoodle Bug Designs.

It is a 3 piece set for scrapbook pages.

I used various quality cardstocks to piece it together. Then I used inks, chalks, and a gel pen to add details. I think the set will make a super cute scrapbook page.

Supplies Used:

KaDoodle Bug Designs: Nuts About Fall

Various Cardstocks from My Stash

Thank you for dropping in today. You can follow me here, find me on FB or Pinterest; and, of course, be looking for my listings in my new Etsy shop, M Miranda Creations.

Fall Card!

I think that fall is the most beautiful time of the year! And I am lucky enough to live in a place where the colors are spectacular. And as I look out my window in my craft area, and see the changing leaves; I can't help but to want to put together projects that reflect what I see.

 

My Scrap Chick has a file called Fall Card and it is perfect for my mood!

 

 

I also used the MSC file called Halloween Treat Boxes for the pumpkin.

 

I cut and inked all the pieces that came with the Fall Card file. I then stamped my sentiment onto the Vintage Cream Cardstock by Papertrey Ink using a sentiment from My Craft Spot's Chalkboard Sentiments Fall stamp set. As I began to place the pieces, I decided to cut a mat for the sentiment piece to add one more layer of color. Because the sentiment mentions pumpkins, I also decided to reduce the size of the pumpkin from the treat box set and place it on the bottom corner of the card. The pumpkin and the leaves were all attached with pop dots. It was a simple card to put together, but it speaks about fall to me. Best thing is that any sentiment could be stamped on the inside making it useful for fall birthdays, Thinking of You cards, Thank You cards, and so many more.

Soccer Version 1.2

The other day I showed you the card I had made for my son's soccer coach. Well we had two assistant coaches as well, so I made this card for them. Instead of piecing together the soccer ball, I used a Soccer Ball file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

 

 

The DP is Graphic 45. The cardstock is various kinds including Papertrey Ink (card base) and American Crafts. The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom's Simple Sayings stamp set. I added the twine for a nice finishing touch.

 

See my post from the other day to see how the soccer ball can be done by piecing together hexagons and info on the original post that inspired me from Pinterest.

 

Thank you for taking a moment to drop in. It is always appreciated.

Cute Puppy!

Here is a birthday card I made the other day.

 

 

The card's recipient loves puppies, so I thought the Cute Puppy file from Miss Kate Cuttables would be perfect. I used various brown cardstocks from my stash. The background paper is from my scrap box and is by Glitz Designs. The card base is Vintage Cream by Papertrey Ink and the stamp is from My Craft Spot - Simply Sentiments.

Halloween Badge!

Do you want an alternative this Halloween to the traditional treat bag for your child's class?

 

Well then I have an idea for you using files from KaDoodle Bug Designs!

 

 

How about making these badges! I cut the badge from the Giddy Up Cowboy set four layers thick for durability. Before attaching the fourth layer on the back, I punched two holes and thread a safety pin into the holes. Once I glued the fourth layer on, the safety pin held in place. For the ghost, I used the Witchy Ghosts file. I cut it out without the star and the face pieces. After piecing the ghost together, I added a Peachy Keen stamp for her face. There are some ghosts in the set that will work for boys as well. Not only would these be fun for your child's class, but they would make cute party favors for your Halloween parties.
