Nov. 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

 
Hello and Welcome to the November
100 Cartridge Blog Hop with
Can you believe that it is already November!!
Christmas will be here before you know it.
Have you started on your Christmas cards yet??
 
This month all the DT projects will be
Winter/Holiday related to give
you some inspiration for your
holiday projects.
 
You should have started at
 
This month I have used the following 4 cartridges.
Winter Woodland, Snow Friends, Jolly Holidays,
and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.
 
For my first project I used Winter Woodland
 
I made this card using the card feature
on page 39.  It was fast and simple.
The papers are DCWV and the sentiment
is from K Andrew's Winter Wishes.
I added some stickles to give it some sparkle!
 
My next project is a Christmas Tag
made using Jolly Holidays
and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.
 

 
The tag itself is a  the Tag die
from My Creative Time, which I hve embossed
and inked.  The Little Birdie is from
Jolly Holidays cut at 2".
The sentiment is from page 63
of Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.
This cart has so many holiday related
images and sentiments!!

 
The papers are from Imaginisce.
 
My final project is a shaped card.
It is my favorite and was made
with Snow Friends.

 
I cut the cute little snowgirl at 5".
I welded 2 of the base layer using my gypsy
to form my shaped card.  I then cut a
third base layer to place on top.
I cut two of all the pieces
so that she would have a front
and a back.  The second set
of cuts I flipped using my gypsy
so they would line up properly.
Her face was stamped with
Peachy Keen's Princess Faces.
I think she is just too adorable!!
 
Here is a side view.

 
Thanks for visiting, and I hope
I have inspired you to
start your holiday projects!!
 
Next in the hop is my
sweet DT sister
 
Here is the entire line up
in case you get lost!!

Theme Day Thursday - use Paper Lace 1, 2 or Ornamental Iron 1, 2.

Hello , today is


Today we were asked to use with Paper Lace,
Paper Lace 2, Ornamental Iron, or Ornamental Iron 2.

I used Paper Lace 2 to
make another Christmas Card!!
When I was scrolling through the handbook
looking for an image to use, I thought the
image on page 33 looked like an ornament.
I cannot recall what size I cut these out at
but I stretched the image on the left side
to get an enlongated image.



I just love the colors I used for this card.
For years I used silver and blue for my
christmas tree, but last year
I bought all new ornaments in bright
colors.  Pink, Purple, Turquoise and Lime Green!!
That is what inspired me for this card.


I used some glitter paper for the top layer of the
ornament and hung them from tinsel string.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's
Warm Holiday Fun Stamp Set.
I embossed with with Zing Embossing powder,

I also embossed the lavendar paper
and the bottom layer of the ornament
with a Cuttlebug folder, not sure of the name!!

Thanks for visiting, and please make
sure you stop by
to see more great projects!!

Halloween Treats

Hello all my crafty friends. 
First off I just want to send my thoughts and
prayers to all affected by Hurricane Sandy!!

I just wanted to post a couple of quick pics.

These are the treat bags I made for
the 5 grandkids that live
here in California.

Their church has a Harvest Festival
so they do not really celebrate Halloween.
I made it easy on myself this year
and made the same bag for each one!!


I used Simply Charmed for the pumpkins
The font for the sentiment is from
A Child's Year, welded on my gypsy.
I used Peachy Keen Cornie Faces and
New Year's Faces for the pumpkin faces.

Here are the little treats I made for mine
and my hubby's coworkers.
I used the My Creative Time Tri-Fold Card Die.
The label is from Lacey Labels and the sentiment
is from Pink By Design.  I added some crinkle ribbon,
buttons from Recollections and more of my
homemade stickpins!!

They loved them, some of the ladies
took the stick pins off and were wearing them
on their lapels!!






Thanks for stopping by today!!

I am entering these treats in the following challenges:
