Craft It Up & Link It Up "Say it with a Sentiment" Week 2

Today is my design team post for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is
SAY IT WITH A SENTIMENT.

The sponsors are

  $15 Gift Certificate

     $10 Gift Certificate

 

The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit 

Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.

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

I made a tag using another of my Julie Nutting Prima Doll Stamps.

You may get sick of seeing these as they are my latest obsession!!

I used several different techniques making this tag.  I started with a

Prima Tag. Next I used an ArtC stencil and Tim Holtz Distress ink

to stencil a pattern to the corners of the tag.  The stencil was called

Houndstooth, but I thought it looked like bats!!  Next I sprayed the

entire tag with Tsukineko Goosebumps Glimmer Texture Spray.

This spray gave the tag a very cool bumpy texture that glimmers.

It is hard to see in the photos, but this tag has a lot of texture and

shine!!   I inked the edges of the tag with some more distress ink.

Here is my doll, I used two different papers for her.  One was

Echo Parks "Chillingsworth Manor" and the other was Authenique

"Enchanted"  Once again I added distress ink and lots of Stickles in

Black Diamond and Orange Peel.  I also added some black tulle to

the bottom of her dress. 

 These sentiment stickers were from the same paper packs and more distress ink. 

I also added a prima flower which I spritzed with Dazzling Diamonds

Glimmer  Mist and Black Diamond Stickles.  To finish off my tag, I

added some Webster's Pages lace and black ribbon, a homemade stick

pin and Recollections Bling.  I added more black tulle and crinkle

ribbon to the top of the tag.

 

Come join us and Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!

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!!!

Festive Fridays - Gingerbread

Hello and welcome to

Festive Fridays with

My Cricut Craft Room.

Today we were asked to use

a Gingerbread!!

I wanted to do something a little

different so I made a tag using the

Gingerbread Snowflake from

When It's Cold Outside.

I really like the way it came out!!

The actual tag was cut using

My Creative Times Tag Die.

The papers are from

Echo Parks Vintage Christmas Pad.

I cut the snowflake at 3" from glitter paper.

The base is Coordinations Glimmer Cardsctock.

I added some xmas red and

cinnamon stickles.

I also added a some

pearl bling from Recollections.

The label that I stamped the sentiment

onto is the curly label die from

My Creative Time.

The Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's

Christmas Wishes stamp set.

I added a little bit of

designer trim from Webster's Pages.

I also sprayed the entire

tag with Walnut Gold

Glimmer Mist.  I also inked

it up with Distress Ink.

I will be entering this project

in the following challenges:

FCCB - Let it Snow

BBTB2 - Make a Gift Bag or Tag

I hope you enjoyed my project today,

please make sure you check out the

other Gingerbread project that

my DT sister Jaime made over

at My Cricut Craft Room.



Theme Day Thursday - 3D Purses

 

Hello my crafty friends!!

Today is Theme Day Thursday over at

My Cricut Craft Room

and this weeks theme is

3D Purses!!

 

I used Forever Young and Art Philosophy

for my purse.

 

Since I have been making nothing but

Christmas projects lately,

I decided to make this purse

Christmas themed too.

I can use it to give a gift card.

 

The purse was cut at 4.5" from

Forever Young.  I hid the word

that is part of this cut using my gypsy.

 



 



 

 

I cut the flowers from

Flower Shoppe at 3.5" & 4.5".

I sprayed everything with some

Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Mist

and the added gold stickles

to my flowers.

 

I used My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Die

for the piece that I stamped the sentiment onto.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms

Christmas Wishes Stamp Set.

I stamped it with Versamark

and then heat embossed using

Zing Embossing Powder in Rouge.

 

Thanks for visiting, I hope you

enjoyed my project today.

 

Please make sure you visit

My Cricut Craft Room

Letter of the Day - Letter S

 

Today is Monday, and on Mondays

at My Cricut Craft Room

we do The Letter of the Day,

and today's letter is "S".

We can use a cartridge

that starts with the letter

or an image that starts with the letter.

 

I chose to use a "S"leigh, from

Paper Doll Dress Up.

 

 

You can find this particular

sleigh on page 74 of the handbook.

I cut it twice at 5" wide.

I cut it once in silver

and again in red.

 

I cut the rails off of the red layer.

I then embossed it using a Sizzix folder.

I spritzed it with some Diamond Glimmer Mist.

Then I glued it on top of the silver layer.

I added some Platinum Stickles.

The presents were cut with

my Creative Memories square punch.

 

All paper is DCWV.

Still not sure I really like this card,

I think I used too many patterns,

it looks a little too busy.

Oh well, someone on my christmas

card list will still be getting it...LOL.

 

Make sure you stop over at

My Cricut Craft Room

to see more projects today.

 



You're Moovelous

Happy Friday to all my friends.

I wanted to make a quick post for a challenge.

I made this card for a card swap

using Animal Kingdom for the cow.

Isn't she cute???

The background was made with

Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean.

I also added some Glimmer Mist.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper

The eyes are from Peachy Keen

Character Face Parts.

I will be entering this in the

FCCB Challenge Me Monday - Down on the Farm

Card Creating Tuesday - Guardian Angel

Hello, and welcome to another

Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room.

Today is Guardian Angel Day, and we were

asked to use and angel or anything

associated with angels on our project today. 

Plus, from now until Oct. 15, we

are still using pink somewhere on our

projects.  I am choosing to display pink

proudly as my mom is a survivor.

For my project today, I used the beautiful Angel

from A Quilted Christmas.  I am really loving this

cartridge.  It has at least 4 different ways to cut

each image.  Love the variety.

I cut my angel and all her layers at 5.75"

All the paper is from my stash, various manufacturers.

I debossed the wings using a Damask Decor

Cuttlebug folder.  I embossed the hair

with Divine Swirls.  I added some Stardust Stickles.

The stuff in the corners is called Shaved Ice from

Stampendous.  It is really cool!!

I added some pearl flourishes.

Here is a close up

Her face was stamped with Peachy Keens

"Laffy Taffy" Face Assortment.

This perfect sentiment was found

on Winter Frolic, it was cut at 1.5"

and higlighted with some more Stardust Stickles!!

May Angels be watching over

you and your loved ones!!

Be sure to check out the other Angel cards

today at My Cricut Craft Room.

And don't forget this weekend is

our 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!!

I chose to use the Ghost of

Christmas Past from page 41.

She is cut at 4".  Isn't she pretty!!

Here is a close up

I started with a kraft card base.

For the pink layer, I used a piece

of Coordinations Glimmer cardstock that

I embossed and then inked with Distress Ink

in Worn Lipstick.  I also sprayed it

with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.

I added some Icicle Stickles.
I stamped her face with
Peachy Keen's "Laffy Taffy"

Little Scrap Pieces Guest Designer

Hi All My Crafty Friends!!

Today, I am so excited to share with you that

I am a guest designer for the Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces.   

I jumped at the chance when Karen asked for

volunteers to do this. 

Thanks for this opportunity, Karen!

Now Karen let her guest designer's pick

their own them and I chose

"USE BLING"!!!

 

I love using bling on my projects

and this one is no exception.

It is jam packed with bling!!

 

I have been wanting to make

a Paris themed card for awhile

and this is what I came up with

 

I used the brand new CTMH Artiste Cricut

cartridge for the roses and the flourishes,

The Eiffel Tower and Cest la Vie,

were cut from Wall Decor and More.

Here is a picture without using the flash.

The beautiful paper is from

DCWV Belle Blvd stack.

It is hard to tell but the

black border at the bottom

is flocked!!

I distressed all the paper

with Tea Dye Distress ink.

Here is a close up of the beautiful flowers.

I sprayed them with some water after

rolling them so I could shape the petals.

I then spritzed them with Diamond Glimmer Mist.

I then added some StarDust

Stickles to the end of the petals.

Did you know if you use StarDust Stickles

it dries clear and you can see the color of

the paper underneath??  It just adds the sparkle!!

I added some pearls to the centers.

 I also added the stickles to the flourishes,

the senmtiment and the flourishes

on the tower!!!

Karen, thank you so much for

choosing me to be a guest designer today!!

Please head on over to Little Scrap Pieces

and join us for the Fun Friday Challenge

and show us some BLING!!!

WYEGW - Use Tag Feature or Stickles

 Hello my crafty friends!!! 
Welcome back and thank you

for visiting.For this weeks
Would You Ever Guess Wednesday,

we were asked to use the tag feature
or to use stickles.  Now, I thought that I had
signed up to use the tag feature, so I made
a tag using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.

Then when I looked at the sign up sheet,
I realized that I had actually signed up to
use stickles!!  Well it is a good thing I used
plenty of stickles too...LOL.

Once again this post is very picture heavy!!

So, I was reminded on one of the blogs that I follow
about the chipboard tags that came with the
Art Philosophy bundle, so I decided to use
one of them this week.

A friend of mine had knee replacement surgery
back in March, and her recovery has been very slow. 
She is finally feeling better and I will be
meeting her for lunch today, so I thought
I would make her a little gift.

Here is a sneak peak!  This beautiful flower was
cut with the flower petal die from My Creative Time,
I added  glimmer mist, stickles, and a
glitter brad in the center..

I started by cutting out Tag 5 and the layer from
page 70 from Art Philosophy at 4".

All the paper for this project is from
My Minds's Eye "Fiddlesticks" 6 x 6 paper pad.

The sentiment is also from My Creative Time,
Floral Sentiments stamp set.

I added some Martha Stewart glitter

embossing powder in Sugar Cube.

I distressed the paper

using Tim Holtz Distress Ink

in Milled Lavendar and Antique Linen.

I added lots of bling using stickles in

Lavendar, Diamond and Platnium. 

The butterfly was from my stash.

Next I cut the Treat Bag from page 39 of

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2

at 11" I used plain lavendar paper to cut the box

and then covered it with pieces

from the MME Fiddlesticks pack.

 I cut this tag from the
Spellbinders Fancy Tags die,
which I then embossed and stenciled. 
The sentiment was put together
using K Andrews "Winters Wishes" stamp set. 
I also embossed using the MS Glitter
Embossing powder,

you can't see it in the picture,
but it is very sparkly.

These flowers were cut using the

Rolled Flower Die from My Creative Time.

The back was kind of plain,
so that is where I stuck the tag!!!
For the bow on the tag
and the handle on the bag,
I used a piece of lace trim
that I had.  It was white,
so I inked it with the
Antique Linen Distress Ink
to gived it an aged look.

I filled the treat bag with Dove Chocolates

because there are my friend's favorite!!

Please be sure to stop by My Cricut Craft Room,

to see the rest of today's projects!

I am entering this in the following challenges:
