August Card Swap

I want to show you my card for my August Card Swap group.  Our theme for August was Fall or Thanksgiving.  I wanted to do a fall card because then you could use it for a thank you card as well. I really like the colors and how it all came together. 

The cardstock is from my stash and the paper is from Fancy Pants.  I used and old Stampin' Up stamp set for the leaves, heat embossed them in clear, brown and gold.  I also clear embossed a Stampin' Up background stamp on the blue cardstock.  The Sentiment is a stamp from CTMH enhanced with a bronze fine tip marker. I used the marker to add some dashed lines to the dark brown cardstock also.  The dashed lines on the sentiment circle are done with a brown fine tip marker.  I used tea dye distress ink with a blending tool for the shading.  

Soccer Team Treats!

I had to share what I made for the High School Girls Soccer Team!  All of us Soccer Moms are taking turns bringing a treat to the school on game days.  I delivered mine this morning, and I really like how they turned out and I hope the girls like them too!

The Soccer ball is a stamp that I heat embossed with black powder. I used a stamp from My Pink Stamper that says "You can do it!" in red ink from Stampin' Up.  I adhered them to a red circle punched from a 2 1/4" punch from EK Success and tied some tulle at the top. 

  

Pastel Birthday Calender!

Hello blogging world, long time no see. Life has been so crazy-we moved into a newer and bigger house and it has just taken all of my time.  I have many old projects to share but not as many new ones but I am working on it.  In the mean time I am going to share with you lots of old projects that I just never got around to posting!  

First up is one of my Birthday Calenders-this one is white and pastel colors.  I make and sell these at our local fair in Hurricane.  I only had three left over from last year and this is one of them.  I am hoping to sell some of my crafts online to get some extra money that we need to help pay off some bills and be able to let my kids be involved in activities like dance and soccer.  

I really like how the pastel calender looks, it is so pretty in real life and there is a little bit of sparkle on it that doesn't show up in the picture.  I sell these Calenders for $20.  If anyone is interested just leave me a comment with your email and we can make arrangements to get it shipped to you! 

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my creations!  Have a wonderful day!

Basketball Goodie Bags for our 3-4 Grade Girls team!

I am so glad to be back posting again. It will be hit and miss for a little while though, we are in the process of finding a bigger house and making a move, which I am so excited for because then I might actually get my own craft space! 
 I have so much to show you of different projects I have been making and don't know what to start with. Well, since we just finished our 3rd Grader's Basketball season a little bit ago I will share the goodie bags I made for my daughter's team. They were such a fun group of girls to coach and work with and we had a fun time with them.

I used the sports mania cartridge, paper from my stash, and a white gel pen. super simple and easy. I don't go too complicated because most of the time the kids just throw them away anyway. But they all loved them!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope to share more with you later. I have my card swap tonight and so maybe I can share some of those with you next time!

"Give Thanks"- banner

Good day everyone, today I would like to share with you a banner I made for this month of giving thanks for all that we have.  I hope you like it, I do.  I actually sold this banner at Peach Days to a good loyal customer and friend. 

 

Cartridges used: Pretty Pennants, Accent Essentials, B is for Boy, and Plantin Schoolbook

I stamped a watermark background with the My Cute Stamps Celebrate Today stamp set and my Versamark ink pad. I designed it on my Gypsy so I could get the letters to fit just right. I inked up my edges with Chestnut Roan from Colorbox. I don't remember what paper I used. I use paper from many different companies and I don't have the storage solutions that would make it possible for me to separate the companies that I use. Some brown, cream and green ribbon tied it all together. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit me today!

Birthday Girl Banner!

Good Monday everyone. Today I wanted to share with you a "Happy Birthday" banner I made to sell at my booth earlier this year.  I made it for a girl, but kept it very general. I didn't want to do any themes because you never know what people are looking for.  I really like how it turned out.  In person you can really see all the different colors and patterns better and the sparkle from the glitter looks better too!

 

 

I used the Pretty Pennants cartridge for the banner shape.

The patterned paper is from an old Imaginisce glitter paper pad, so it all coordinates together.  I used a brown cardstock for my solid base. 

 

 

I used an EK success scalloped circle punch for the scalloped circles, then I used a 1.5" circle punch from Creative Memories for the inside circle.  The cupcakes are from a Stampin' Up stamp set, stamped on different colors of paper and then pieced together.  I added stickles to the cupcakes for some sparkle.

 

The letters were cut out of an old sizzix sidekick alphabet and layered on brown cardstock, and then covered with pink stickles.  I used some eyelets to strengthen the corners and then tied it together with some bakers twine.

 

Thanks for visiting my blog today, I hope you liked my project and come back to see more!

let me know what you think!

 

 

Well, I am finally back to posting again.  I am really bad at keeping up with posts.  I make and create things all the time, and take pictures of everything but then I forget to post it or I just can't find the time.  I love to look at what everybody else is doing and I get sidetracked, you all are so talented and I just love to check out what you are doing and get some inspiration. 

Today I am sharing my "SPOOKY" banner.  I actually sold this one so now I need to make another one for myself.  I really liked how it turned out.  You will have to tell me what you think!

 

Cartridges: Happy Hauntings and Paper Doll Dress Up

I used white glitter paper for the spider webs, all of the other paper is from my stash.

I used sparkly black, orange and purple tulle to tie it together

I shaded and distressed it with Stampin' Up black ink

The letters, bat and the ghosts on the ends were popped up with dimensionals

 

I hope you like it! Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you all have a great day!
