New Challenge at the OCC!

Happy Saturday everyone!!!! Today there is a new challenge over at the OCC

The challenge was to use the colors Chocolate chip, Pumpkin pie, Close to Cocoa and White....

I really need some birthday cards!!!! So I decided to make a "manly" card this time....using the PTI's Star Prints stamps and SU Designer Paper. I stamped the stars randomly on the circle that I cut using my Nestabilities and then stamped the entire star on another piece of cardstock and punched using my SU star punch and added with dimensionals over the previously stamped start on the circle.

Please stop by the OCC today and check out the other Design Team members samples, they are really awesome!

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Stamps and Smiles

Hi everyone! Today we have a new challenge at Stamps and Smiles

For my card this week, I am using PTI Pure Poppy cardstock for the card base. I stamped those sweet little trees from the new fall stamp release at Stamps and Smiles and added some "snow" on the trees. This "snow" is a liquid applique, when you heat it up with your heat gun it fluffs up like snow...I don't think the picture shows how cute it is...I also did a little creative paper layering on the bottom. I randomly cut 3 pieces of designer paper at different levels and applied to the card by sewing.

Please be sure to stop by the Stamps and Smiles site and check out the other DT samples for the week! They are super!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Project Tuesday - Peek a Boo Box

Happy Tuesday! This week's project at Project Tuesday is a Peek a Boo Box!

This is a sweet little box!


I decided to use my Cricut to cut out the flowers, I used the Walk in my Garden cart for the flowers and leaves. I cut each flower a little smaller than the previous cut to layer the flower.

I think this would make a cute little favor box for a baby shower or bridal shower.

Make sure you jump on over to Project Tuesday and check out the other DT samples, and while you are there, link up your project to Mr. Linky so we can all take a peek.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

2nd Post Today - Ornament Box

Hi everyone! I am so super excited today!!!! I was just cruising thru the Internet one day looking for some SCAL files that I could down load and cut out with my Cricut....when I happened upon Melinda's site..All Things Crafty and Delicious....wow! does she have some fantastic files...and they are FREE!!!

Melinda had asked for some volunteers to cut some of her files and embellish for her to list on her site. I thought, wow! I would love to do this, so I submitted my name...and she sent me this super fantastic Ornament Box to try out!!!!

New Challenge at the OCC!

Happy Saturday everyone! Today's challenge over at Our Creative Corner is an inspirational challenge!

For my card this week, I used my Gypsy to design a pumpkin card! with the new update out from Provo Craft for the gypsy I am now able to flip and weld a design together, so we can make shape card! I use the pumpkin from the Gypsy Wanderings that comes loaded on the Gypsy and used the blackout feature for the pumpkin. The pumpkin is cut at 4 1/4.

For the image, I use the new "digi" image from Stamps and Smiles. I just love their digi images...for this one I sized it way down to fit on the front of the pumpkin. I colored the cute scarecrow and pumpkins with Copics and add stitching around the designer paper. The cardstock I used is from SU Pumpkin Pie and the ribbon and buttons are from PTI.

Please join us this week at the OCC, and link up your project/card to Mr. Linky so we can all take a peek!

1st challenge at The Gypsy Spot

Hi everyone! Hope your day is going well!!!

This week over at The Gypsy Spot they have their first ever challenge!

The challenge is to use your Gypsy Wanderings cart that came loaded on the Gypsy and create a project!

Oh, this was fun....

For my card, I used a card template from the Wild Card cart, and then I selected that really cute pumpkin border from Gypsy Wanderings. I decided to weld the pumpkin border to the card template.

I cut the card and the shadow pumpkin border welded together on PTI's Dark Chocolate cardstock. I then cut the pumpkin boarder on SU Pumpkin Pie cardstock.

I decided to add MS glitter to the pumpkin boarder, using the new technique I picked up over at the Craft Junkie Too' site. I just love how the glitter sticks to the pumpkins! I then cut the scallop frame from Storybook cart and the oval too! I stamped the sentiment from PTI's Fall Harvest set and added some buttons and ribbon.

If you have a Gypsy and would like to play along, jump on over to their site. I would love to see all the other projects/cards created!

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Triangle Box - Project Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone! I sure hope you have all had a wonderful weekend! We sure did here, the sun finally came out yesterday and lifted my spirits for sure!

Well, today over at Project Tuesday we are being challenged to create a Triangle box. This little box is so darn cute!

For my box, I used some designer cardstock from Making Memories and the stamps are from PTI Fall Elegance. You will also notice those beautiful glittery (is that a word?) leaves! I cut those out on my Cricut using A Childs Year cart. I then used MS glitter and applied the glitter using a new technique I just found out about this weekend when I attended the Craft Junkie Too Booo-log party.

If you haven't had a chance to go to the Craft Junkie Too's site, you might take a trip over there..she has some really good videos!

Here is the side view of my triangle box:

I think I am going to make a few more of these and use them on Thanksgiving Day. I think I will place each box on a placesetting with a little homemade treat inside.

So, if you would like to play along with us this week, and make a triangle box, be sure to jump on over to Project Tuesday and you will find the directions and some samples from the other awesome design team members! And don't forget to link up your project to Mr. Linky so we can all take a peek at what you create!

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!
