Pot of Gold Treat Box file.

I embossed the cauldron

with Cuttlebug's Spooky Damask folder.

I adding some Lime Green Stickles to the edge.

On the original file, there is grass at the bottom

but I made it into flames.

I embossed the flames with the

Divine Swirls folder. 

My adorable little witch

is from the Monster Mash Dance Party

cutting file.  I embossed her hair

with Divine Swirls and her

hat and dress with Swiss Dots.

Her face was stamped with

Here is what I created for this linky party....

I am so excited to share this card with you.

This is my first card using the

Julie Nutting Prima Doll Stamps

I recently won a prize from a Lisa at

A Mermaid's  Crafts from a

Prima Doll Blog Hop.

This is not the stamp I won, but I

am now officially hooked!!

I have not jumped into the

coloring craze, so I did just

a minimum of coloring.

I started by first stamping the doll

onto flesh colored cardstock.

I only had to color in her hair,

I used my Stampin Up Markers.

I then paper pieced her dress,

headband and shoes.

The doily in the background

was punched with my

We R memory Keeper Mini 8 Punch,

from Artisan Papers from

Pink Paislee, and then

misted with Glimmer Mist

in Sand and Yellow Daisy.

 

This beautiful sentiment is from the

"Girls Night Out" stamp set

from My Creative Time.

I stamped it onto

a Label 4 Spellbinders Die.

I finished my card

by adding some Webster's Pages

Trim and Recollections Pearl Bling
and some Artisan Chipboard Butterflies.

Hope you will Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!

PPPR Guest Designer

Hello and Happy Friday!!

Today I have the great honor and

pleasure to be a Guest Designer over

at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons!!

Lisa has the most adorable files

and every Friday she has a fabulous freebie!!

 

For my project today, I made invitations.

My nephew will be turning 30 on

October 7th, so his wife is having

a big Oktoberfest Themed

Birthday party for him!!

When I did a search on Google

I was pleasantly surprised to find that PPPR

had a fabulous Oktoberfest  cutting file.

 

This was perfect for my invitations.

I first made 2 different samples:

She loved both of them, but

we decided to go with the

Oktoberfest Ticket!!

We changed up the colors to

match the rest of her decorations and

here is what the final result was.

I usually like to paper piece my images

but since I had to make 40 invites.

I used the print and cut feature

on my Silhouette Cameo

to cut the Oktoberfest Banner

and the Beer Waitress!!

The ticket was a cut from

the Silhouette Store.  I used

the sketch pens to draw the

inside ticket layer and

the ADMIT ONE.

Here is a close up.

I used a marker to outline

the beer foam because there

was so much white.

I added pop dots to the waitress

to give it some dimension.

Here are all the details

of the party on the back.

I made an internal offset

and once again used the

print and cut feature to first

print the writing and then

cut the inside layer.

I added a little bit

of inking around the edges.

Here is all 40 of them lined up!!

My nephew and niece loved them

and I hope you do to!!

Thank you Lisa for allowing

me to be a Guest Designer!!

 



Leaf It To Me

 

Hello and Happy Tuesday

to all my Crafty Friends!!

Today I have a card to share

that I made to enter a few Fall Challenges.

The first Challenge is a Sketch Challenge

over at Peachy Keen

Here is the Sketch

Here is my take on the Sketch:

 

I actually made this card using

Spellbinders Fall Foilage

and My Creative Time dies.

The pattern paper is Bo Bunny Apple Cider.

The adorable Peachy Keen Faces

are from the In the Garden Stamp Set.

I used some Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Rusty Hinge and Gathered Twigs, to ink the edges.

I used the following Stickles Colors,:

Stardust, Lime Green, Yellow,

Orange Peel and Copper.

These are two of my favorite techniques!!

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's

Piles of Smiles stamp set.  I stamped it

onto a label cut from her Jar Accessories Dies.

 

I finished it off with some

American Crafts Glitter Tape.

It is hard to see in the picture,

but this card has a lot of sparkle!!

 

I will be entering this card in the

following challenges:

Craftin Desert Divas - Fall Linky Party

My Craft Spot - Use a Favorite Technique

Little Scrap Pieces Linky Party

All That Stickles Fall Harvest Linky Party
