Creative Challenge Club CCC18

This week at Creative challenge Club they have a sketch, I am really enjoying sketches and still on a Halloween Kick. I think this would be a perfect card for a child or mid teen. The Link for Creative Challenge Club is well click HERE.

 I used a Papertrey Ink die and a die by My Favorite Things.

The Papertrey Ink die doesn't have any holes in it to help remove the paper so I just use some rolled up Washi Tape.

I am using a combination of three stamp sets and two inks. A Papertrey Ink set, a My Favorite Things set, and a Recollections set. Also ink from Stampin UP and Versa Fine Black Onyx.

 I am using pattern paper from an 8 1/2 by 11 inch The Paper Studio set and some Dimensional's on the back of my sentiment. I used a Heavy Weight black card stock for my base.

I added some orange stickles to the bows and Glossy Accents to the tie. I have the ghosts half on dimensional and the other half flat glued to the sentiment.

Tis The Season TTS27

This time on Tis The Season the challenge was a sketch. This card took about 45 minutes only because I had to use tiny tiny foam circles. Click here for the TTS27 link.

 Here I am laying out my Simon Says Stamp snowflake dies.

I used Abby, Maryanne, Melody, and RyLynn.

I added tape on top and placed on my card then ran threw my Big Shot.  I used some tiny tiny circle foam dots from The Paper Studio.

 This is the back, I added double sided adhesive then some Metallic Die Cuts With a View paper.

 I then added some wax paper and my Tim Holt Holiday Words die.

 There are 17 dies in this package and they are merry & bright, twinkle, christmas, believe, peace on earth, jingle, noel, wonderland, joy, and seasons greetings.

Creative Challenge Club CCC17

This week was a sketch challenge and I was dying to use my newest purchase a spider web stencil by My Favorite Things.

Creative Challenge Club CCC17 click here.

I am using Stampin UP Smokey Slate card stock and ink with a blending tool with the MFT spider web stencil. I used an MFT circle die to cut the circle.

 Finished inking.

Below is my dilemma, I made my inside without realizing it was opposite, OOPS. I decided to round all four corners.

 I used some heavy weight black card stock by The Paper Studio and a scrap white for the middle, I pooped the circle on foam squares. I die cut from Die Cuts with a View glitter paper using Lawn Fawn Quinns die's.

The spider is from a retired Stampin UP set.

EEK

I bought some translucent embossing paste a while ago and wanted to give it a whirl so I went to pinterest and looked for some Halloween cards, I found one close to this that I could use with a stencil and the translucent embossing paste.

 I am using a Heavy Weight white card stock from The Paper Studio and a variety of different Tim Holtz distress inks. I am making five different cards.

 Using painter tape around the edges, after using my Heidi Swapp stencil I removed it and cleaned it off and reapplied it and then used the translucent embossing paste.

 This is before the embossing paste.

 Here is the paste.

 After the embossing paste before it was completely dry, it becomes clear like embossing with clear embossing powder.

 Using some Glitter card stock from Die Cuts With a View and my Lawn Fawn dies I cut out five EEK in the almost black type of glitter paper.

I used some black and white twine and the spider came from an old Stampin UP set.

I attached the letters with Tombow Mono glue and of course used some Googly Eyes.

Sparkly Ghosts

I love Pinterest, here is another card that I found and recreated with the supplies that I have on hand. Here is the LINK to the card.

 Here I am using StazOn Jet Black ink on some DCWV Glitzy Glitter card stock. Using the Lawn Fawn Spooktacular stamp set and matching dies.

 I am using a Kraft card stock base from Micheal's the Recollections brand and pattern paper from an old Martha Stewart pack called well I'm not sure there is no name on the pad.

I put the ghosts up on Stampin Up dimensional because this is a pretty basic one layer card.

Finished card, I used VersaFine Black Onyx ink for my sentiment stamping.

Inside of the card, trying to finish the insides as well, use up the paper and not be a hoarder.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog - Falling in Love

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge was to make something with the inspiration of falling in Love. Right now I am loving you tube and pinterest for my inspiration so I am using Catherine Pooler's recent You Tube Video because I love the Deer and rushed to Hobby Lobby and Micheal's to see if I could find one

 I bought this wood paper back in June when my family vacationed in Ohio at a Joaann's.

 My original idea wasn't working but still included this photo because I did use the deer punch out,

 This is a Hero Arts set that is CL543, I stamped it is Versa Fine Black Onyx ink. I used a black Heavy Weight card stock and some pattern paper from the Stampin UP old Regals Collection.

 I used Stampin UP Marina Mist ink and a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp called Lots of Snowflakes.

Added some Recollections gems to the center of each snowflake and poped up the deer on some dimensional.

Added some white gel pen stitching to the edges to give it a finished touch.

Finished the inside with the same Hero Arts stamp set and more pattern paper and snowflakes.

Creative Challenge Club CCC16

A sketch challenge this week at Creative Challenge Club #16 and again I need some more fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving cards so I used this opportunity to make a Thanksgiving card.

 I am using a variety of oranges, browns, and greens in the Stampin UP ink. I am also selective inking .

 I used a hardwood background stamp and also the Fall Fest stamp with matching dies. I put one pumpkin on dimensional and the other flat, same with the leaves.

 I really like this Karen Foster Designs stamp set, I used it for my outside greeting. For the inside I used a Papertrey Ink set from their Keep it Simple collection called Thanksgiving.

I added a bow with some Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings .

Alivias Gymnastics Treat Bags

Hear I started to work on Alivias Gymnastic Treat bags for her friends, she has anywhere between four to six friends per week and one coach.

 I am using the Lawn Fawn Treat Bag die and some cheap Recollections Card Stock in the color Orange. At first I was using Tombow Glue but traded to Elmer's because these are for three year olds.

 I only assembled one first to see if the bag would work with what we were going to put into it and it dose.

The pattern paper is from a 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper stack called All Seasons by The Paper Studio. I cut the strips into 3 inches wide by 2 inches tall.

 Using my grid mat to help align the strips.

 This is a Paper Trey Ink stamp set from their Keep it Simple line Halloween, using Versa Fine Black Onyx ink.

Here I stamped one and left one blank because I need two pieces per box.











I stored all the pieces in a plastic box along with some Halloween Pumpkin bubbles and the Google Eye head bands from yesterdays post, I will also add a little candy or bag of pretzels as well.
