Pocket Silhouettes



Hello! I thought I would share one of my hostess gifts with you all. I gave this to my hostess Andrea last night after her tile coaster class. She LOVED it, as did I. I was sooo please with how it came out. This stamp set is just gorgeous and so versatile. What I did was bought a coffee mug and gave it a rubbon treatment with some rubbons I had left from Sale-a-bration. Inside the cub there is a mini composition book, and rsvp pen, a bookmark, 4 peppermint patty sandwhiches, and a post it not holder. On the mini composition book I also used a rubbon. Had I thought about taking a picture before I had it all put togher you would have been able to see it, but I totally didnt even think about it. I was rather upset with myself. Anyways I Used the Urban Garden dsp for the notebook, pen, and post it note holder as well as for the scallop on the paper clip. I used baja breeze and chocolate chip as my main colors and thats really all there was too it. The post it note holder has magnets on the back so that it can be hung up on something. Sorry the pictures arent so great. I was in a hurry and the lighting was bad in my kitchen. This is such an easy and cute gift to make. I had a lot of fun making it and like I said she LOVED it!
Thats all for today. Thanks for swingin through!

Halloweeeeeeen.





So I've been looking around for some card ideas to go with the halloween theme that are really cute and fun to make. I came acroos Dawn's blog and thought this was the cutest card ever! So I just had to case it. This is what I came up with. I used kiwi Kiss and Lovely Lilac cardstock, black Stampin write marker, white gel pen, 1 3/8 circle punch and the 1inch circle punch. To make the bolts I just cut a rectangle out of sahara sand (it was the closest thing I had to gray) then punched my 1inch circle out of sahara sand. I then cut about 1/3 of the circle off and used my snail to adhere it to the rectangle. It was really a pretty simple card. I love it. I also made him a friend. I found the instructions to make a mummy card. This was also just tooo cute. You can find it here. This card was also pretty simple to make. I sued pale plum (i think), black, orange, and very vanilla cardstock. To make the eyes I used my 1 3/8, 1 1/4, and 1inch circle punches. It looks a little better if you have the 3/4 inch circle instead of the 1inch but I dont have it sooo.. I imporvised. I think he looks cute. I sponged creamy caramel onto the very vanilla to kind of give him that dirty look. I think since my world card making day class is in October we will be making these 2 cards as well. They will be just in time for Halloween and if anyone needs the supplies to make them, they will have time for it to come in. If you would like to make these cards simple join us October 3rd.
Thanks for stoppin by!

Candles


How cute are these?! what a great way to make your candles cooridinate with the decor in the rest of your room. I bought these Vanilla candles and used the snowflake spot stamp set...I was so sad to see it retire. It really was a great stamp. I cant recall which blue I used to stamp them. It was a marker...looks like navy, but I cant be sure. Anyways all ya need are some candles, tissue paper, stamps, markes/inks, and a heat gun and VOILA! You have yourself some candles!
Thanks for poppin by!

Another Christmas Card

I really am trying to get my next couple months worth of class samples done ahead of time for a change. That way I dont feel so rushed and I can enjoy making the projects. I got the inspiration for this card from a magazine that I get. The card in the magazine has the same layout, only its more plain than mine, however it is a gorgeous card. I used the layout and new I wanted to make a Christmas card with it. I decided that I wanted to make each square look like a Christmas present. So I took out my ribbon and thats what I did. At least I think they look like presesnts. Let me know what ya think.

You're A Blast!

On todays card I used Pun Fun. I absolutely Love that set, but I never use it. I dont know why. I guess I just always get new sets that I want to play with and since I dont really get that much time to stamp my newer ones get used first. My goal is to make a box set of all the pun fun stamps just because they cover all occassions and they're really cute. So I got inspiration from my upline Angie. I was at her house the other day and she was making a pop up card using this stamp. So I got thinking about it that night and I thought I needed to make one too only mine isnt a pop up card. I have no idea what hers looks like or if she even finished it yet, but I made mine. It uses that adorable little rocket ship. Im thinking I might use this card for my world card making day class... We'll see. So this uses the same color scheme as the Birthday card I posted yesterday. I do eally like those colors together. Here's the recipe for the card. Thanks for visiting!

Recipe
Stamps: Pun Fun, Nursery Necessities (star)
Paper: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red

It's a Christmas Bulb

Well... here it is, my very first Christmas bulb. It looks a lot more wonderful in person. It was pretty hard to photograph in my house as it was night time when I did it. I took a clear bulb that you can find in pretty much any craft store and used Riding Hood Red to die the bulb. I then added some dazzling diamonds glitter and WALA! you have yourself a christmas bulb. I used some rub-ons that I had layin around while I am waitin for my Christmas ones to come in. We will be making one of these bulbs at my Christmas Time Fun class in December among other really cute things. Have a Great Day!
