Spideriffic!

So, I had to make one more cob web box :) It is just too cute.....
(and it was easy enough to make while watching Dancing with the Stars!)

I found this 3D spider in the Silhouette store and thought he would look adorable perched on the cob web box designed by Lori Whitlock. I used some paper scraps by Echo Park and created the little banner sentiment using My Favorite Things Banner die and some Echo Park (Apothecary Emporium) stickers.

Easy peasy!

Supplies:

Silhouette files- cobweb box cut file by Lori Whitlock; 3D spider by Kenzie Daley.

Patterned paper-Summer Days- Banners (Echo Park); Black Magic- Apothecary Emporium Collection (Echo Park); Noir Pattern Dot (Making Memories)

Die- Banner Day (My Favorite Things); circles (Spellbinders)

Ink- tea dye (Ranger)
Rhinestones- Recollections, Michael's

Spook-tacular treat tags

Hello! Today I have a Halloween project to share. Hard to believe that stores are already stocking their Halloween decor and costumes. I figured I would get a jump on a few projects.

I created these treat tags using Our Craft Lounge Spook-tacular set:

And here are close ups of the tags so you can see them a bit better. They all are attached to m&m sleeves. I used a piece of hemp and a button to tie the tags to the bags.

For this tag, I used the witch image...so cute! I stamped her on white cardstock and paper pieced the broom and added stickles to the hat and star punch out. I also used the happy Halloween sentiment right under the image.

Next, I used the spider web and spider on this tag. I stamped the web and spider right on the patterned paper. Then, I stamped the spider again and cut out the body to layer over the first one. This added some dimension. I also used black stickles on the spiders legs. I stamped the sentiment and punched it out with an oval punch. I added two little rhinestones on either side before adhering it to the tag:

The last tag features the kitty image. I stamped the image on the tag and stamped it again so I could attach the second one over the first. This allowed me to have some movement in the tail by not adhering the second tail over the first one. I added some purple stickles on the cat's hat, added rhinestones and the same button tie at the top as I did on the others:

Supplies: Stamps- Spook-tacular (Our Craft Lounge); Memento tuxedo black ink; stickles (black, purple) Ranger; rhinestones (Recollections, Mark Richards); Patterned paper/tags-Twilight (Pink Paislee), Waving Skeletons-Toil & Trouble (Making Memories); m&ms; candy sleeves.

Gina K Mid Month Challenge Hop

Hello! Welcome to the mid month Gina K Design Team Challenge Hop! This month assignment was to create a card inspired by your autumn memory. (Note: for the challenge we were supposed to use newly released stamp sets but I totally forgot and selected a stamp set that fit perfectly with my favorite memories. Oopsie--five lashings with a wet noodle for me :)

Here is my Favorite Autumn Memory inspired card:

This card uses Feel the Magic set (which was illustrated by Gina's daughter Alicia). I adore this set and come back to it time and time again. My favorite autumn memories always seem to center around Halloween---seeing my kiddos dress up and the excitement they have about going trick or treating; carving pumpkins; hanging with friends; stomping through leaves; seeing all the neighborhood kids dressed up! LOVE it all!

I paper pieced a lot of the witches outfit and used Copics to color the skin and eyes. I added some crystal stickles to her hair and to the eyes and mouth of the jack-o-lantern. I love the fun glow it adds to the card.
I stamped the sentiment and highlighted the "witch" for obvious reasons. I finished it off with a few die cut stars and rhinestones.

Here is a close up of the cutie witch:

Materials used: Stamps- Feel the Magic (Gina K Designs); white cardstock-Gina K Designs; Patterned paper- Halloween mini deck (Recollections), Die cut Newsprint Spellbound (Making Memories); Canvas border stickers (Little Yellow Bicycle); Memento tuxedo black ink; Copic markers; crystal stickles (Ranger); twinkle rhinestone stickers (a muse); ribbon; hemp.

Thanks Veterans and Calendar HOP!

First and foremost----Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you to all those who have served or who are currently serving our country. Hugs to my hubby, who is in an "undisclosed location in Asia." (his words verbatim).

<<-----Hubby in action. If this photo doesn't make you feel secure......then I don't know WHAT will! (giggle!)

*****

Gina K Designs is releasing two new sets by Tami Mayberry tonight---Calendar Bits & Pieces and Calendar Grid. The grid is just that---a grid that you can add the calendar dates to---or use for fun invitations or save the date cards. Calendar Bits & Pieces includes TONS of stamps to fill in your calendar or create scrapbook pages, cards, etc.

I created two projects today to try to show you the versatility of these sets. I am sure you will see LOTS of ways to use them on the hop tonight.

First, I used the Calendar Grid to create the fun background of this card. I used the words from the Bits & Pieces set to create a sewn on sentiment:

Materials used: Calendar Grid and Calendar Bits & Pieces (Gina K Designs); bashful blue ink (SU!); white cardstock, tan leather cardstock (Gina K Designs); designer paper-Early Bird-Cosmo Cricket; flower stickers (Martha Stewart); buttons (Making Memories); ribbon-Funky Vintage Trims, Lizzie (Making Memories); sewing machine; slit punch (SU!).

Next, I created a desk calendar using the Grid in a traditional way:I found a stand up photo album at Dollar Tree and thought it would be perfect to alter for a desk calendar. All the little stamps and the words and numbers are in the Bits & Pieces set. Wouldn't it be cute to create holiday desk calendars for grandparents with photos of the kids on the backs of the pages? There are endless possibilities with these sets---Check out these links for more:

For some helpful tips on how to use the Calendar Bits & Pieces and Calendar Grid stamp sets, please be sure to check out Gina's blog and StampTV for a helpful video on just how quick and easy it can be to use! Both of these sets as well as the PDF version of the Calendar Grid image will be available for purchase tonight over on our online store.

After that, stop by our Illustrator's blog - Tami Mayberry for some projects with her stamp sets.
Here are the Gina K Designers who are joining us in the preview tonight:

Cat, Donna, Erika, Jessica, Lee, Lynn, Melanie, Nina and Theresa

We are the Champions

Life is Busy...........My six year old son had his first baseball game last night....
Here he is warming up before the game (This was all the action he got in the field!!):

He was so excited to play....to have a uniform....and to WIN the first game!

Tonight, Melanie is hosting a blog hop for her School, Sports, Spirit! stamp set and so I created this baseball card (so appropriate for this week!):

I paired the jacket and sentiment from School, Sports, Spirit! with her Sporty Accessories images--baseball bat, glove, ball. I colored and cut out the jacket and then was able to slide the baseball bat through the arm opening. The little ball is popped inside the glove to add some more dimension.

I colored the images with Copics and prismacolor pencils and used some twine to create little corner accents.
ETA: the background paper - stripes, newspaper print and brown are all from a Sports scrapbook kit by Imagine That (Walmart).

For even more samples of the School, Sports, Spirit! stamp set, please visit the Illustrator of the set, Melanie Muenchinger's blog. Melanie will be offering her new stamp set as blog candy tonight too - comment on her blog for your chance to win this spectacular stamp set!

Dog Days of Summer

Hello there! I am so confused on the days lately---all I know is that my two oldest go back to school on Monday and we are getting all ready for that.

I created this card for the Dirty Dozen Alumni challenge on Splitcoaststampers.
Valerie came up with this month's theme -- the Dog Days of Summer.
Required Element: Dog images or sentiments and heat of summer color scheme (so think orange, red, mustard, etc.)
Restricted Element: Flock, or any fuzzy type embellishment
You can view all the cards for this challenge HERE.

Here is my card: I used Pat the Dog from Our Craft Lounge for my dog. I made sure to have a big ole sun ('cause it is HOT in Texas during the Dog Days of Summer.)

The base of this card (yellow polkadots) is from a dollar pack of notecards from Michael's. I accented it with some other designer paper with some "summery" colors.

What a fun challenge ----->I am now ready to say goodbye to the Dog Days of Summer. Bring on the Fall!

Materials used: Stamps-Pat the Dog (Our Craft Lounge); Memento black ink; Copic markers; notecard (Michael's); designer paper-Black Orchid (SEI); Big Kids (Making Memories); ribbon-pumpkin pie stripe (SU!), yellow (May Arts); sun sticker (Creative Memories); slit punch (SU!).

If the Tiara fits......

Well......so far---no one else has gotten sick! (Crossing fingers that it stays that way!)
We had a great day today---had a picnic lunch in the park, fed some ducks and a goose and then headed to the pool! My husband has been off this week and it has been fun hanging out and just recovering from our hectic summer.

This afternoon my girls and I were getting crafty at the kitchen table. My oldest (Cara, 13) was making a Twilight collage and my youngest (Lauren, 4) and I were working on this: Ever since I created the other princess crown card (you can see it HERE), Lauren has been wanting to make one. So she helped me adhere all the bling! Once again---the crown is created using the Fleur de Lis Pendant die from Spellbinders. Very easy!
What fun this was to make.....and the awesome sentiment fits her (and this card) perfectly. "If the tiara fits..." is from Little Tees from Gina K Designs. Couldn't resist!

Materials used: Stamps- Little Tees (Gina K Designs); ink-Memento black; Fleur de Lis Pendant die (Spellbinders); Wizard (Spellbinders); Silver cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Designer paper--Sabrina (Making Memories, Norm's News (October Afternoon); assorted gemstones; label punch, circle punch (Stampin' Up!).

Hope you had a great day too!

My Favorite BLOG CANDY

ETA: This contest is closed. The winner is Joy who said...
"Hi Cammie,I adore the BoHo Blossom set.. you make it seem so easy. Love the colors. The new release is pretty cool as well..especially for those teenagers in your life.. The vibrant colors and embellishments you can add to make it just pop out..love it love.. thnx for a chance to win..JOY"

Yipeee!!! So excited that my sister will be here tomorrow (and my sweet niece Megan!) We have been cleaning and getting their room ready...

and I had time to eek out a card using one of my mostest favoritiest EVAH sets from My Favorite Things---Boho Blossoms. This set is soo cool and if you have been following my blog for awhile, you know I use this set VERY often!

Sooo....I was talking to the fabulous Kim (MFT lady) and she thought it would be fun for me to give a set away, since I am taking a break from being "officially" on the design team.

Here is a card I whipped up with my beloved Boho Blossoms:

I paired the set up with this gorgeous Sabrina paper from Making Memories to create a romantic card. I layered different pieces to create the design. The large heart is stamped in Memento ink and I added some of the pretty coordinating flowers (thanks Charlene!) in the center of the heart and attached a little sentiment through the center brad.

<--It is kind of hard to see the little blossoms but you can click the photos to make them larger. I added the small hearts along the bottom (popped up the center one!) I love the colors---so MFT!!! This set rocks!

So, do you want to win Boho Blossoms??? Just leave a comment on this post telling me what YOUR favorite My Favorite Things set is!!! Random.Cara will select a winner on Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. CENTRAL time. The winner will have three days to contact me before I draw a new name. (As always, subscribers can post twice.)

Thanks Kim....for everything!!! HUGS

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Picture of Love

Last night I had some time to play around with this adorable Picnic Time Sarah Kay (Stampavie)image. I just love these highly detailed stamps---so much fun to color! I colored this image with Copic markers and cut it out and then framed it using the Spellbinders Labels four set. (BTW--I have been getting LOTS of questions about Copic markers recently ? and just wanted to let you know that I have responded individually if you provided your email address---however, if you post anonymously, I have no way to get back to you to answer a question. I do plan to do another Copic coloring tutorial in another week or two...stay tuned! Hopefully I will be able to address a lot of the questions then!)

The designer paper on this card is by Making Memories. I sponged a bit of Tea Dye Ink (Ranger) on the edges to age it a bit. For the sentiment, I inked only part of a stamp from the Tiny Words & Centers set (JustRite). I framed the sentiment with a Chatterbox Brad -Easy Bradmaker Kit (LOVE this kit!). The final touch is a piece of olive ric rac under the main image.

Check out Stamper's Dream for most of the supplies used to make this card!

Materials used: Stamps-Picnic Time (Sarah Kay for Stampavie), Tiny Words & Centers set (JustRite Stampers); Memento black ink; Ranger Distress Tea Dye Ink; sponge; SU black marker; white cardstock (PRISM); Designer paper--Just Chillin' Girl 6 x 6 paper pack (Making Memories); Copic Markers; Spellbinders Labels Four Nestabilities; Cuttlebug (Provocraft); olive ric rac (May Arts); Easy BradMaker Kit (Chatterbox).

SUPER boy!

Hi everyone! It has been BUSY around here. I did manage to crank out this card last night (after another Softball game that we won! woohooo!)

I used the adorable Ben Paper dolls set from My Favorite Things for this SUPER boy card.
This was the only Ben outfit I had not played with yet and my son (Ben) was anxious that I get going on it. I used some fun Making Memories paper on this with accents from the same scrap pack.

The SUPER was created with JustRite Brayton font and Harmony Rectangular Stamper set. I stamped it in red along the bottom of the vanilla cardstock and then added the "boy" stamp from the Cuddle Up Carter set (My Favorite Things).

Flopsey Valentine

Boy was I tired last night..after chaperoning a dance at my dd's school Friday night and then having 8 kids at our house for my son's 6th birthday party yesterday---yipes! My husband thought it would be a good idea to unwind with a nice movie--so he purchased DARK KNIGHT. Well, for those of you who have seen it, you know that it is not a relaxing movie at all. After the moview was over--my hands were clammy from being so anxious! Oh well--at least he let me sleep in today!

Here is a little card I squeezed in during my daughter's nap. Seems like crafting time is very limited these days but -- 'tis the season!

This card features the new Snow Bunny Flopsey image from My Favorite Things--CUTENESS!

I stamped the image and then cut it out and colored the bunny part. I then cut out a section where the hot chocolate mug was so that I could turn this into a cute Valentine. I punched a heart and slid it right into his arms. I popped the top half of his body up over his legs to make it a bit more realistic.

My favorite part of this card is the Flower Soft that I used on his hat, scarf and gloves. At first, I was hesitant to use it on this image because I didn't know if I could get it to adhere to such a small area. But it worked and it was simple. I love the texture it adds.

The sentiment is from the MFT set called Hearts Galore.

Materials used: Stamps- Snow Bunny Flopsey, Hearts Galore (My Favorite Things); cardstock- Pure Luxury white (Gina K Designs); riding hood red, bordering blue (SU!); Memento tuxedo black ink; real red stamp pad (SU!); Copic markers; heart punch (SU!); Sizzix heart die; Flower soft (blue); Spellbinders oval and scalloped oval nestabilities; Cuttlebug (Provocraft); Snowflake embossing folder (Provocraft); lace ribbon; button (Making Memories); liquid applique (Marvy); dimensionals (SU!)

OTHER NEWS:
Did you know that TOMORROW is the 15th of the month??? You know what that means---a new dirty dozen gallery on Splitcoaststampers. Woohoo! This month Splitcoaststampers is giving everyone a holiday gift---the dirty dozen gallery will be open to EVERYONE!
