#projectaday Day 10 - Embellish

Good afternoon!  I am very excited to share with you my latest card creation for #projectaday.  It was yesterday's challenge but since it was my birthday I didn't have time to put together a post.  This challenge was all about embellishing.  I love buttons but never really end up using them so I wanted to make them the star of my card.  

In my inspiration search on Pinterest, I came across a card using this idea.  I made it my own by using balloons to make it a birthday themed card.

It was a little tricky getting the buttons to fit together the way that I wanted but overall it was a pretty simple card.  Just make sure you have a little patience and a lot of liquid glass!

Well, thank you for visiting my blog today.   I hope that you find some inspiration to create a fun craft of your own!  Stay tuned for my next #projectaday.

#ProjectADay Day 8

Hello everyone, I finally had time to do another project a day :).  Today's theme is winter.  I had to do this one because it is so cold here in northern VA.  Today it is 26 degrees, but the wind makes it feel much colder.  Yesterday was in the teens and the nights are single digits.  This winter is causing me to miss SoCal much more than I already do!  So now I spend lots of time indoors taking care of my little ones and crafting :).

Here is my winter themed card.  

I used the Hostess Rewards stamp set 

called Wintry Wishes and the Frosted paper pack.

This card was very easy and quick to make.  I made all of my cuts by hand, did some stamping and embellishing and it was finished! 

Thank you for stopping by, 

I hope that you find some inspiration 

to create a fun wintry craft of your own!

Holiday Utensil Holders

Hello everyone, ready for Christmas yet??  Today I wanted to share with you these very easy and super cute utensil holders that I made.  These are a great addition to a sit down holiday dinner or a potluck party.  I made these for an upcoming Christmas party.

The base was cut from Artiste at 2.5 inches, scored and folded, then I inked the edges on both sides.

The flowers were cut at 2, 1.75, 1.5, 1.25 inches, then I inked the edges, scored and creased the leaves, and layered them from largest to smallest.  Then I finished it with an adhesive pearl in the middle.

The holly leaves were cut from Joys Of The Season at 2.5 inches.  I inked the leaves and on some, I added red glitter.

For the sentiment, I used the stamp set Scandanavian Wishes (a previous Stamp of the Month)

I added about 27" of twine and little bells and then they were ready for the utensils.

These Holiday Utensil Holders are so easy to create, you can make a lot or a little.

Supplies used:
Artiste cartridge
Joys Of The Season cartridge
Cranberry and Olive cardstock
Cranberry and Olive Ink
Kraft paper
Scandinavian Wishes stamp set (s1310)
Adhesive pearls
Liquid glass
Twine, bells, red glitter

Damask Divas Blog Hop - Huntington Paper Pack

Hello and Welcome to the Damask Divas November blog hop.  This month, we are featuring projects made with the new Huntington paper pack.  If you came from Jamie's Blog, you are in the right place.  If you have jumped here on your own, feel free to start at the beginning HERE.  You can also visit the Damask Divas website to see the full list of participants.

Here is my project.

Dressing up an unused picture frame is a great way to add a personal touch to your home decor.  It also would make a great gift.

I inked and then distressed the leaves with my little rolly thing to make them look crinkly and almost real.  The cuts came from both Artiste and Artbooking.  They were cut at 1", 1 1/2", and 2".

Then I arranged them around the tag and added some opaques.  

The tag was cut at about 2 3/4" x 5 1/2".   

I used the craft room to make it fit perfectly to the size of the stamp. 

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope that you enjoy the projects and get some inspiration to create a fun craft of your own.  The next blog on the hop is Lilian Yea.  Remember, if you get lost, click HERE to start from the beginning or go to the Damask Divas website HERE.

Artiste Halloween Treat Boxes

Who is ready for Halloween??  Im not, but I am getting close!  I was looking through one of the old idea books for inspiration and I saw a monster treat box made using the Artiste Cartridge.  I definitely wanted to recreate it and here is how it turned out.

I decided to make a girl one using one of the new paper packs called Laughing Lola.  I used heart cuts from the Artbooking cartridge to make the antennas.  The green guy was made using sweet leaf cardstock and paper from the Chantilly paper pack.  These treat boxes were cut at 5" so they are roomy enough for candy or other treats like cookies or small toys.

 

This treat box was quick and fairly simple to make.  I love using the Idea Books for inspiration, they are not just catalogs!  You can find the recipes for all of the projects in the current Idea Books HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you find some inspiration to create a fun craft of your own!


Items Used:
Artiste and Artbooking cartridge
