I am sorry that I just could not get a good picture of

this card, the glitter and shimmer paper are hard to photograph!!

The wise men are from Designs on Cloud Nine.

The sentiment and banner are from My Craft Spot.

For this tag I used a tag shape from the

Silhouette Store and the reindeer is from

SVG Cutting Files.  The banner is from

the SIL store, sorry not sure which stamp is

used for the sentiment!!

And of course the cute face is Peachy Keen.

This tag was cut using a Spellbinders die, some punches
and I think the snowman hat is from a Cricut cart,
not sure which one, I had these cut in a drawer!!
And another cute Peachy face.
I scraplifted this idea from tags
my bloggy friend Sherrie
made last year.

Now hop on over and see what the others have for your enjoyment.

Boy Elf

Hello and Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone had a

great weekend.  I was pretty

hot here in So. California.

It was around 95 yesterday

and I do not like the heat!!

I had a ton of laundry to do, so that

is how I spent my weekend...lol.

Today I have a fun project to share with you.

Before Easter, I started saving the empty

toliet paper rolls.  I had plans to

make bunnies out of them but never

got around to it.  So now I have a bunch

of these rolls lying around, so I decided to

make something for this week's

Peachy Keen Challenge
13-28 :: 3-D Objects :: Wrap It In Ribbon

I made a funny little boy Elf using a file from

Miss Kate's Cuttables

I used only his head and arms.

I wrapped the TP roll with some

printed paper from a stack I bought

ages ago!!  I added some ribbon from

3 Girl Jam and My Craft Spot

for his collar and belt.

I embossed his hair using the

Cutllebug Divine Swirls folder.

I also added a little distress in

in Gathered Twigs to his hair.

I used the Wide Eyed Kids Stamps for his face.

And check out my faux stiching!!

I added the stiching using my sketch pens

and my Cameo!!  This was my first time trying

this, but one of my blogger buddies

Nana from My Crafting Channel.com

shared a great video with me that had

step my step instructions. 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Q2fEppuaY

The video shows how to add the stiching with te

the print and cut feature, but I just used my sketch pens

and it worked perfectly!!

Not sure yet, what I am going to use my

little elf for.  I could just use him as

decoration, or fill the tube with

candy and use him as a treat!!

I will be entering him

in the following challenges:

Spring Card Set

WARNING!!!

This is going to be a very picture heavy post!!

First off, I want to thank everyone for

wishing my Sweet Pea a Happy Birthday!!

Here is a funny picture of her not

looking too happy to share her birthday

cake with her sister Jasmine!!

So, on to my cards.  I recently purchased a great

little card kit from Archiver's Annex.

It came with the Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint

stamps that I have seen elsewhere for $20.00

for the stamps alone.  The card kit was $20.00

and it included the stamps, some cardstock,

tags, a bottle of Stickles, a 6x6 MME paper

pack and a roll of Jute string!!

What a great deal!!  Here is the set of cards I made.

In all these pictures is is hard to see the card base,

but I cut them all at 4x4 from the brown cardstock

that was included in the kit.  The pattern papers

are from the paper pack included as well as

my scrap box.  I used a variety of products on

all the cards, I will list them at the bottom.

 On this card I used Twine &

Turquoise and Lime Green Stickles

 

  On this card I used the Jute String, 

Want 2 Scrap Bling &

Magenta and Cherry Ice Stickles

For this card I used Glitter Tulle, Want 2 Scrap

Bling and Lagoon Stickles

These next two cards are the first ones I made

and they do not include and dry embossing.

I used Webster's Pages Trim, Recollections

Bling and Yellow Stickles on this one.

I loved the butterfly so much, I used it twice!!

This card has sheer ribbon, Recollentions Bling

and Lime Green Stickles

Materials:

Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint Stamps

Various Spellbinders Dies

Various colors of

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Various Sizzix and

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

All cards but one, have a tag cut with My Craft Spot's
