Easter Treats

Hello Again!

Today I would like to share the little easter

treats I made for my coworkers.

Aren't these just too cute??

I used the Jaded Blossom Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies, 

and Banner Dies.  The cute little chickies are from Pretty Pink Posh.

I used the new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to color them in.

I used some Doodlebug paper for the scallop circle

The grass is cut with My Favorite Things Grassy Hills Die-namics

I attached these to these little containers I found at the

Dollar Tree and filled them with Spring M&M's!

I am hope all my friends have a Blessed and Happy Easter.

And remember we are not celebrating bunnies and eggs,

but the Resurrection of our Lord!!

"but God raised him from the dead on the third day

and caused him to be seen"

ACTS 10:40 NIV

There is Sunshine

Hello and Happy Friday!!

I wanted to make a card for a friend

that recently lost her sister to suicide.

I did not want it to be a sympathy card, I just wanted

to cheer her up and let her know I am thinking

and praying for her and her family.

I used lots of My Favorite Things products on this card!!

I embossed the tag using a Darice Cloud folder and

then I went over the clouds with the 

brand new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons!

I used Picket Fence on the clouds and Vintage Photo 

on the edges.  The tag, base and sentiment piece are 

all from MFT Blueprints 13 

and the plaid paper is from the County Fair pack.

 The sentiment is from Cheerful Blessings

This sun is the Sunny Skies Die-namics

I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress markers

and then covered it with Wink of Stella. 

For the inside I used a scripture stamp

from Stampendous called Hope Verses.

It has been a long time since I have

entered any challenges!!

I am entering this in the MFT Sketch Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend :)

the accessories.  I used Prima Color Bloom

Halloween Treat Bags

Hello and Happy Halloween!!

Every year I make my grandkids Halloween Treat bags, and usually try

to make them the same as whatever they are dressing up as

 

Here are this year's bags!!

So my granddaughter Kambria is 11

and she is dressing up as the Tin Man

but, her's is a Tin Girl??

Her costume is called Tin Heart Throb.

I tried to come as close as I could.

I combined elements from Too Cute By Jessica's

Superhero Kids 1 and Superhero Kids 2 files

I had to get creative with this one.

The ax and tin hat are from another file

I used the Peachy Keen In the Garden Faces.

Now my next grandchild is Tristan and he is 10

almost 11 and he only decided a few days ago

that he was even going to dress up.

I had to settle for what his mom could

find and that was a Ninja!!

I used the Girl Ninjas file from Too Cute by Jessica

I did not have the boy ninja file, so I just

left the hair off!!  I am not at all happy with

the way the background came out.

but oh well!!!  I used Peachy Keens Moodies face stamps

 Next up is Vincent and he is 9

as you can see, he will be Iron Man

I used the Superhero Kids 2 files from TCBJ

Next to last is Kayla, she is 7

and a total tomboy!!  She wanted to be a Ninja Turtle.

I used one of the Member Free files from PPBN

I used a Prima Stencil and Distress Ink

to create the cool brick wall background.

Last but certainly not least is my

dear little princess Bella who is 5.

She is crazy about Frozen so who else

could she be but Elsa!!  For this one, I used the

Frosty Fairytale Friends file from TCBJ

I used Peachy Keen Sweet and Innocent faces.

I added some sparkle with Wink of Stella Glitter Pens

and some Want 2 Scrap Bling.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a

safe and happy Halloween!!



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

Tiny Tag Dies and are stamped with sentiments

from the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

The tags were embossed with Zing

clear embossing powder.

The Letter of the Day is D

Today is letter D so the Team over at My Cricut Craft Room can use ANY cartridge that begins with the letter D , or any image that begins with D.  For my card today, I chose to use Damask Decor.  This cartridge has so many elegant images and cards that you can make.

For my card today, I chose the image on page 67.  I first cut the card feature at 5" and the the layer was cut at the same 5".  I used DCWV Street Lace paper pack.  I embossed the card layer with a Cuttlebug folder before adhering the heart layer.  I sanded the embossing just a touch and then went over the whole card layer with some Distress Ink in Black Soot.  I added the heart layer and tied some ribbon and glitter tulle to the top of the card.  The sentiments are from My Creative Time "100% Sweetness" stamp set, which I stamped with black ink and then added emobssing powder.  I added a few pink gems to add some bling.

My project was to use the cuttlebug:

I used Simply Charmed for hat and mittens, cut at 2".  I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss the white trim on the hats and gloves.  Here is a close up:

All paper and the grosgrain ribbon were from the Close to My Heart "Jingle" pack from last year.  This is the first time I've used it and I love the colors!!  I added some bakers twine that I won from My Craft Spot.

I added a Martha Stewart Tag and the sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts "Have a Cool Yule" stamp set.

I inked everying up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye and a Teal Blue Studio G ink pad that I got at Michaels in the $1.00 bin.  I finished the whole card off by going over some of the snowflakes and the sentiment with my Silver Glitter Gel Pen.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Pointsettia Flower Card

****For My Blog Makeover Giveaway, click HERE****

Hello My Fellow Crafters.

I have been wanting to make a card with a pointsettia on it.  I know I have seen some on other blogs, but could not remember just where I saw one.  So I googled it and low and behold found a great tutorial HERE at My Craft Spot.  And what better timing, this weeks challenge at My Craft Spot is Challenge #34 - Handmade Flower Power!!  Is that a co inky dink or what!!!  Anyway, here is my try at making a pointsettia:

I used Flower Shoppe for the pointsettia.  Here is a close up of the flower.

I used cooredinations cardstock for the flower.  Inked it up with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen.  I spritzed both the leaves and the flowers with glimmer mist and shaped the flower with my Imaginisce Petal Roller. I added a vintage style button for the center.  The background paper and green cardstock is Close to My Hearts "Believe" paper pack.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch and added some Crinkle Ribbon in Vanilla Bean from My Craft Spot.

I finished the card up with a Martha Stewart tag, which I inked with more distress ink and the sentiment is from Sweet Anna Bee Designs "Joy to the World" set.  If you have time check her out HERE.  She is a high school student that has come up with her own line of stamps to help pay for college.  Isn't that a great idea!!

I finished the tag off with some tinsel string from Prarie Bird Designs and some glitter gel pen.

So, of course I am entering this in this weeks challenge at My Craft Spot.

Happy Crafting,
