Happy Saturday Peeps!!!

I am excited to share with you today a treat holder I made.

For those who have followed my blog for a while know that I have in the past done a Creative Challenge with my good friend Wendy from WeeBeeStampin4Fun.

We decided to resurrect our challenges and I laid down the first and it is a goodie!!

We are doing a 3D challenge every other Saturday through the end of the year!

How exciting!!

Our rules are very simple, none really..lol

Any kind of 3D item, treat holders, home decor, gift card holders.....etc. 

Anything goes as long as it is 3D!

I have been busy working on my items the last month or so, I have several lined up and am excited to see what Wendy has in store for us. She is the queen of beautiful presentation. 

You won't want to miss these!

On to my goodie box for this first challenge post.

 

I found these cute Reese's Franken-Cups at Dollar General and knew they would be perfect!

I designed my box for these and have uploaded the template for anyone who would like to make some for them selves. 

 

I used a piece of Basic Black card stock measuring 6-1/2 inches by 7 inches.

You can click on the above picture of my template to better read the measurements:

With your Simply Score Scoring Board:

 Score on the 6-1/2 inch side at 2-1/4, 3, 5-1/4 and 6

Score on the 7 inch side at 3/3, 5-3/4 and 6-1/2

Burnish score lines with your bone folder and use the template above for cutting.

 

I used the fun stamp set called Flight of Fancy for my cute little witch.

I love her, isn't she adorable??!!

I stamped with Black Stazon and colored with my water brush and ink pads.

I used Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake on her and the mouse and broom. I fussy cut her out tto add o the box.

The DSP on the box comes from the Magic in this Night pack.

I used the 2inch circle punch for the "moon" and sponged the edges with a bit of Pumpkin Pie ink.

The die cut behind the Moon is from the Tasteful Labels dies and is embossed with the Cobs Web EF. I brushed this piece lightly with my white craft ink pad.

The sentiment comes from the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set.

The ribbon I used is from the Playing With Patterns combo pack.

I wrapped it completely around my box and tied a big ol' bow. 

I finished with a few Iridescent Pearls

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today's card share is one I made at the same time I made the Slimline one 

I showed you earlier this week. 

It is made in very much the same way but in a standard card size.

I like the three jars with one tipped over so I did it here as well.

On this one they are a little closer together and less of the back jar is showing.

I stamped the jars and flowers both with Black Stazon ink on Thick Whisper White and then watercolored with my Water Brush.

The flowers are stamped onto scrap thick white and colored and then fussy cut out.

 

I colored the flowers with a combo of Crushed Curry, Bumble Bee and Pumpkin Pie. The centers are done with Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

After coloring the jars and stems and adding my sentiment I embossed this layer with the Subtle EF.

The flowers are added with dimensionals to the card.

I rounded the corners on one side and then matted with Bumble Bee card stock.

 

The base of the card is Thick Whisper White and then I added a layer of Bumble Bee DSP from 

the In Color pack.

I added a couple strips of Gold Foil paper, one in the corner on an angle and one across the bottom, under the main image panel.

I finished up with a few little pearls.

Fall Birthday Wishes

 

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

I am excited to finally share this card.

I have had it under wraps for over two weeks.

I wanted to make a special card for a very special friends birthday, which is today!

She actually received it yesterday so I can now share it.

I had been on a kick making wreath cards and it hit me, to make one like this using the leaf punches in the Beautiful Autumn Bundle.

I started out by punching several of the 2 leaves in a few fall colors, I used Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze card stock for the leaves.

I sponged the bottom of the leaves, which kinda got hidden when arranging the wreath.

I have to tell, I ended up making a second one of these for my card buying friend.

So on the second one I sponged more around the leaf edges and not just on the bottom.

I also used my stylus from the Simply Scoring board and the foam piercing mat to shape the leaves, I simply rolled the stylus in small circles on both sides and on some I added a crease of sorts down the middle.

 

The leaves are arranged around a die cut circle ring, 

I used two of the Layering circle dies to make the ring.

 I added it to a piece of DSP from the In Good Taste pack using dimensionals.

I used a small twig die from the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Dies cut with Early Espresso card stock and snipped into smaller pieces to add in and around the leaves.

I added my wreath that is mounted on the DSP

 to a base of Crushed Curry card stock.

The "birthday" is die cut using the Well Written Dies, I added a piece of  an Adhesive sheet to the back of a scrap of Crushed Curry and die cut the "birthday" 3 times. The Adhesive sheets makes it so easy to layer these up. 

I like the dimension of layering the sentiment. I stamped the "Wishes" onto a small piece of Crushed Curry with Early Espresso ink. It is added to the card with dimensionals.

 

I finished up with a pretty bow made with the Braided Linen trim and a small Acorn Trinket. The final touch was a few small rhinestones for just a bit of bling.

Hope she likes it as much as I liked making it!

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

I have another Fall type card to share today.

In my ongoing effort to color all my flowers lately in Fall colors, here is my Fall peony! 

I stamped with Black Stazon onto Thick Very Vanilla card stock and watercolored with Crushed Curry, Bumble Bee and a hint of Pumpkin Pie.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Autumn Goodness stamp set, with Black Memento ink.

I then embossed this main panel with the Subtle EF.

 

I die cut the bottom of a piece of Bumble Bee card stock with a die from the Peony Dies and then mounted my main image panel.

I added some pretty ribbon and bow with the Bumble Bee Gingham ribbon across the bottom ust above the scallop die cut and embossed edge.

The DSP here is from the Flowers for Every Seasons pack.

Happy Tuesday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Jar of Flowers stamp set. 

I decided to make another Slimline card.

 This one measures, 8-1/2 x 3-1/2 ( or about that). The card is already boxed and ready to head out

with a bunch of others to a sweet, sweet customer. Hi Deanna!!!

All the flowers in this set are so pretty, but I love Sunflowers so I used those this time.

I stamped and then masked the jar a couple of times.

One I turned on it's side and "spilled" some water out if it.

 

I fussy cut out the flowers and added them to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from the Country Home stamp set.

I embossed the white card stock after stamping and coloring using the Tasteful Textures EF.

Listed below are the "ingredients" used to make this project.
