Happy Celebrations - Merry Christmas

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Today, is my design day over at Craftin Desert Divas.
I am sharing a card I made using one of my favorite
stamp sets from the May Release.  I used "Happy Celebrations" 

This stamp set is so versatile and covers so many different occasions. 
Followers of my blog should know  of my obsession with Julie Nutting
Prima Doll Stamps.  For today's project I
made another Christmas card using a chipboard doll.

The paper and bling are from Recollections, I also used some

Webster's Pages Trim.  I added some Xmas Red Stickles

and Embossing Tinsel to the doll as well as some Glossy Accents

to her shoes and belt.

 
Here is a close up of the sentiment.  Love the font!!
For my flowers, I used Prima Chalk Edgers to
color my white flowers to match my card.
I dipped them in glue and then in diamond dust
to add some sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by!!

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!!!

I hope everyone hade a great weekend.

I spent my running errands

and getting my 3 Spoiled Dogs groomed.

My #2 Spoiled Dog is a minature poodle

so we have to get her groomed at

least every 8 weeks otherwise

she looks like a shaggy dog!!

Here she is looking

like a princess again :)

So, it happened to be perfect that the

challenge over at 

Peachy Keen

this week was to make

a 3D Pet Theme Item!!

I made this cute treat box

for my girls.

 I used the August Stamp of the Month

for the dog, bowl and biscuit.

My doggie's face is from the

Happy Go Lucky Dog

Faces stamp set.

I used my Silhouette Cameo

to cut the SVG images

and then stamped them

while they were still on my mat.

 Here is a view from the top.

My box was cut from the

Bone Treat Box Cutting File

from SVG Cutting Files.
I added some pretty
trim from Webster's Pages
to the lid.

I colored my images with my

Stampin Up markers and

some chalk.  I gave my puppy

some pearls on her collar :)

 I doodled a few

hearts onto her bowl.

I filled it with some treats

for my sweet spoiled girls!!

Baby Carriage Gift Bag

Hello all My Crafty Friends!!

I have a cute little baby

gift bag to share with you today.

 I started with a kraft gift bag.

The next layer is a piece of ivory cardstock

that I inked with TH Distress Ink

in Fired Brick and Scattered Straw.

The next layer is a piece of 6x6 paper

from My Mind's Eye "Playdate" stack.

Not sure what pack the red paper is from,

but I cut this doily using my new

We R Memory Keepers

Lucky 8 Punch.

The top layer is my adorable baby in the buggy cute

from Simply Charmed.  I have embossed it, and

added a cute little Peachy Keen Face, I believe

it is from Wide Eyed Kids.

I cut these last year for a swap, and have never

used it.  I have about 8 of them so you may

see this image again!!

I mounted the baby buggy on an action wobble.

I added some buttons from October Afternoon

accented with Twine.  I also added some pearl flourishes

from Want 2 Scrap.  The ribbon at the top is

from 3 Girl Jam and the trim at the bottom is

from Webster's Pages.

and we are having such beautiful

weather in So. California!!

It is sunny and 80 degrees!!

I made a fun little tag for a few challenges.

I cut this tag from the

My Creative Time Tag Dies

The pink piece was another one of my extra cuts.

I beleive it is from Elegant Edges.

I embossed the pink piece with a Sizzix Flowers

and Vines folder. The Bunny is another extra cut.

When I made my Got Eggs?? card, I had

cut the bunny from Birthday Bash in 3" and 2.5"

I used the 3" on the card so I had this

extra one and used it on this tag.

Her cute little face is from Peachy Keens

Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed stamp set.

I added a flower that was wrapped

around a package of ribbon

I got from Little Scrap Pieces.

I added some white stiching and pink chalk.

The sentiment is from

My Creative Time - To My Best Peep

stamp set and the tag is the Stiched Oval Die.

I added 2 buttons from the Stiched Button Dies

and I covered them with glossy accents.

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot & Prairie Bird Boutique
