Boo!

Hello crafty friends!!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

 Today I am back with another project that showcases some of those awesome 

 Pink and Main Products.

I love all things Halloween and couldn't wait to get a jump start on a little goody bag.

I cut this fun bag from my Cricut, assembled it and then started decorating. I used some fun polka dot paper from the Not Too Spooky 6x6 paper pad and added it to the front of my bag. I used the Scallop Circle Dies and a piece of pattered paper from the Not Too Spooky 6x6 paper pad and added that to the front with some foam tape. I stamped out that super cute Bride of Frankenstein image from the Spooktacular Stamp set, colored her with my copic markers, added a spider, used the Stitched Circle Dies to cut it out and added that on top of my scallop. I added a strip of star paper to the top of my bag and added a mini clothespin to help keep the bag closed. I finished my project off with a twine bow and a glittery Boo!

I do have a bit of sad news to share with you all today. Today is my last post as a design team member for Pink & Main. I have been on the team for 2 wonderful years but feel like I need to take a step down. I've struggled with this decision but feel at this point in time, it's the right one for me. All good things must come to an end right? A huge thank you to Michelle for having me the last two years! It has been an amazing experience and I wish Pink & Main and all of my DT Sisters much success!! Hugs!!

Elephantastic Birthday Goody Bag

Hey crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday!

I have errands to run today but before I left, I wanted to pop on real quick and share a goody bag that I made to give to my mom. Her birthday is coming up soon (I really hope she doesn't see this post) and I thought it would be fun to give her a little bag of kisses to go along with her gifts. 

I used a gusseted bag, filled it with some paper shred and added a few decorated kisses. I used the Ric Rac Topper Die from Jaded Blossom as well as the Elephantastic Stamp set along with some circle dies to create the topper. I think it turned out so adorable!!

Thanks A Bushel

Hi crafty friends!

Today I am back to share a project that I created using some fabulous dies and stamps that can be found in the

 Dies R Us Store. 

I thought it would be fun to create a little Fall themed thank you gift box. I know it is still Summer, but I'm ready for Fall lol!

I started out by stamping and cutting out all my pieces.

I used the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box die and cut out two pieces from some wood grain looking paper  to make my box. I also used the Lawn Fawn Thanks A Bushel stamp set to stamp my images and then used the Lawn Fawn Thanks A Bushel Dies to cut them out. I assembled my box and colored my images and this is what the final product looks like:

I added my greeting using the Thanks A Bushel stamp set and tied it to my box with some baker's twine. I think it turned out so cute! 

Here is a quick peek (with links) at the products that I used on my project that can be found in the Dies R Us Store.

A wizard birthday card

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

Today I have a sweet card to share with you that I made for a couple of challenges.

The challenges are:

--Cupcake Inspirations #419--

 and 

Sketch Saturday #477

Fantabulous right?? I knew right away when I saw these challenges that I just had to create something for them. If you know me, then you know I love a certain famous wizard and I adore sketches so both of these were just screaming for me to make something lol! 

Here is the card that I made:

I pulled out that fabulous stamp from Jaded Blossom for my cute little wizard and colored him in with my Copics. I created the front of my card with some colors that closely represented Gryffindor house and then layered my wizard on top, paper piecing the robe for a little dimension. I added some clear Wink Of Stella to my black stars and my card was done. I think it turned out so incredibly cute!! I'm not sure I will be giving this one away, I may have to hold onto it for myself lol!

Hello crafty friends!!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

 Today I am back with another project that showcases some of those awesome 

 Pink and Main Products.

I am using the new box card die for my project today!! Yay!!

I thought it would be fun to pair up the box card and those cute little "flying" bees! I created my box card using the Box Card die and cut it out of some pink cardstock. I used some floral paper scraps for the top flaps and some fun checkerboard type paper for the bottom panels. The checkerboard paper came from the Spring Flings Paper Pad. I used the Don't Worry stamp set and stamped out those fun images and colored them in with my Copic Markers. After they were all colored in, I used the coordinating Don't Worry dies to cut them out. I placed them into my box card, using acetate for the bees. I tied a bow to the front flap of my card using some crochet thread and added my greeting to the front flap as well. I think it turned out super cute!!

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #104

Hey crafty friends!!

Happy Sunday!!

Today starts a new card sketch challenge over at 

Sketch N Scrap.

Here is a look at the second card sketch for August courtesy of Lisa:

and here is my take on the sketch:

I covered my A2 white card base with some fun plaid paper and then layered some coffee bean paper on top. I stamped out that sweet little girl and colored her in with my Copic markers. I decided to paper piece her coffee cup though. After I had her colored it, I used my Scan N Cut 2 to cut her out. I added her on top of a die cut circle and popped up the circle with some foam tape to my card front. I stamped my funny greeting, notched the ends and popped that up with foam tape also. I finished my card with some crochet thread at the top. I think it turned out so incredibly ca-ute!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look at my latest creation!

I appreciate it so much!

A Super Cute Hello

Hey crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!

Today I have a super sweet and cute card to share with you that I made for the current challenge over at the Stamp Anniething's Stampers FB page. 

Theme Week #20 is a sketch challenge!

Here is the card that I made based on their sketch:

I created my card base from some white cardstock and then layered some minty green paper from a patterned paper pack over the top to cover the white. I added more patterned paper to form the layers shown in the sketch and added my crochet thread and tied it off with a bow. I colored that sweet little stamp with my Copic Markers, paper pieced her shirt, and used my Scan n Cut 2 to cut her out. I popped her up with some foam tape for a little dimension. I finished off my card with my greeting that I created using some alpha dies. (All products used are listed at the end of the post). I think it turned out so incredibly cute! The stamp set also comes with balloons but without them it looks like she is waving hi, at least it does to me :)

Sketch N Scrap #135

Hey crafty friends!!

Happy Tuesday!!

Today I am back with another sketch reveal from Sketch N Scrap.

Just in case you don't already know, Sketch N Scrap is a sketch challenge blog that offers Layout and Card sketches each month! Layout sketches are posted on the 1st and 15th of each month and card sketches are posted on the 5th and 20th of each month. 

Here is a look at the 2nd layout sketch for August provided to us by Heather, 

Layout Sketch #135:

Fabulous sketch right?? Here is the layout I created based on the above sketch:

At first I wasn't quite sure which photos I was going to use for the sketch and then when I saw these photos on my daughter's FB, I knew! She gave me the go ahead so I snagged them up lol! There isn't a lot of colors in the photos so I pretty much had my pic of papers in my stash. I really wanted to focus on them though. He is a yellow lab with green eyes and a brown nose and she is a girly girl. When I came across this floral paper, it was perfect! It incorporated the yellow, green and brown as well as the girly. Does that make sense or am I just crazy? lol The paper was from a stack so all the other papers coordinated perfectly! I used punches for the photo corner pieces, flowers and leaves. The scallop came from the Cricut as well as the font used for my title. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and take a look at my latest creation!

(CASE This Sketch #234)

Fun right? Here is a look at the card that I created based on the above sketch:

I stamped my sloth and colored him in with my Copic markers. I used a circle die to cut him out and then another circle die to create the little black border around him. I adhered him onto a piece of kraft cardstock, added a fun green border and popped the panel up with some foam tape onto my card base. I heat embossed my greeting with some white embossing powder and added a few enamel dots. I finished my card with some doodles around the edge of my popped up panel. I've had this sloth stamp for a little while now and have never used it until this card. Yay!!

Hello crafty friends!!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

 Today I am back with another project that showcases some of those awesome 

 Pink and Main Products.

For my card today, I'm using some older products as well as a new product that will be making its debut in the Pink and Main Store tomorrow.

I love making shaped cards so I pulled out my trusty Scallop Hexagons Dies and created my card base. I used a hexagon from the Nested Hexagons dies and cut out my green layer from the Shades of Spring 6x6 Paper Pad and layered that on top. Next I cut out a circle from some white cardstock using the Stitched Circle Dies and stamped that sweet little cactus from the *new*Sticky Note stamp set. I colored him in with my Copics and popped up that piece with some foam tape. I stamped my greeting, also from the Sticky Note set, and flagged the ends and matted it onto some black cardstock and added that to the top of my card with more foam tape. I finished off this cute little card with a bit of doodling for a little more added interest.

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #103

Hey crafty friends!!

Happy Saturday!!

Today starts a new card sketch challenge over at 

Sketch N Scrap.

Here is a look at the first card sketch for August courtesy of Heather:

and here is my take on the above sketch:

I created my A2 card base from some Kraft cardstock and I doodled all around the card with a brown pen. I cut up some papers (mostly scraps) from an older My Mind's Eye paper pad and layered them onto my card base. I added that sweet little doggy and dog house onto a white circle and added my greeting and my card was done! I love easy cards and using a sketch just takes a lot of the guess work out for me, gotta love that!

Birthday Greeting From Under The Sea

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous Friday so far!

Today I have a super fun and cute card to share with you.

I am running a little low on birthday cards so I thought this would be a fun one to make since we are still in the Summer season :) I used some fun papers from Doodlebug and layered them onto my card. I stamped that sweet little mermaid from Jaded Blossom in Versafine Ink and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I colored her in with my Copics and then used my Scan n Cut to cut her out. I popped her up onto my card front with some foam tape and added some glossy accents to her pearls. I stamped my greeting and added them to my card and finished it off with a little epoxy seashell and some pearls in the upper right corner. I think she is absolutely darling!!

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

My Favorite Wizard!

Hey crafty friends!

I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!

Today I wanted to quickly share with you a project that I made for the July Customer Challenge that Jaded Blossom had last month. The challenge was to create a project and only use JB stamps/dies and submit it for judging! I'm so happy to say that my project was one of the winners!!! How awesome is that!! 

Now that the winners have been revealed, I wanted to share with you all what I made.

If you know me, you know that my daughter and I love and are a little obsessed with a certain wizard, so I just knew I wanted to make something for her to brighten her day a little.

I created this fun little treat box for her and filled it with some chocolates. To create my box, I used the Scallop Caddy Die (I love this die!) & decorated it with some fun patterned papers. I stamped out my Wizard from the My Favorite Wizard stamp set and colored him in with my Copic markers, stamped my greeting and attached it all to the front of my box. I added a few gold sequins and added my candies. I used the Wizard Candies stamp set to decorate the chocolates to make it even more fun!

Thanks so much for taking a look at my creation!
