Fiona

Over the weekend while going through some packages, I came across CC Designs Fiona. Forgot that I had her but she was too cute to put away.

I started this off as a bag but ended up turning it into a card. For me, using printed paper is sort of out of my comfort zone. Especially plaid designs. This is BG's Olivia paper which I picked up from Stamps & Memories.
The label die is one of the new dies coming out soon from Sizzix. I used glossy accents on the cherries on Fiona's top but you can't really see it in this photo.

I'll be at J's this Saturday from 10-12 pm doing a make & take. We'll be making a Halloween treat box using Dandelion stamps. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for stopping by today and see you on Saturday!

Cat girl gift card holder

Sizzix has a new pop-up gift card holder die that was just released to the stores. At first I thought it looked a little complicated but, it turned out quite easy to assemble. The card base is a regular A2 card size. I decided to use CC Designs cat girl stamp for the cover of my card. The background spiders is a new Sizzix embossing folder set. And can you believe that the one color copic marker that I do not have is black? So I went with a purple cat instead.Here is what the inside looks like when you open the card. The gift card pops up.
I used the same stamp for the inside but stamped the image in purple.
The "Happy Halloween" is a new clear stamp from Hero Arts.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great evening!!!

Pumpkin

I am finally getting myself back into the swing of things. So yesterday while I was downstairs cleaning my craftroom (it really was a mess), I took out my copics and colored Pumpkin from CC Designs. And since I had the pumpkin nesties out, I decided to use the largest size to make another shaker card.Love the Coordinations whitewash papers that my husband just got in the store. I used Tim Holtz fades folder - retro dots for the background and highlighted it with stardust stickles.
There is something exciting in the works but I can't share until later. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great humpday!!!

The make and takes

We had a busy weekend of Sizzix make & takes at several of the stores. This first project is a Christmas ornament using the new snowflakes dies that the stores just received. The blue pleated piece in the center is a new Tim Holtz die that isn't out yet but will be shortly. We did this project at the Ben Franklin Mapunapuna store for their renovation party. And there was glitter everywhere.The 2nd project was this Halloween card for Photo Craft. It was crazy there and we actually ran out of kits.
And lastly, this bright butterfly card was at Stamps & Memories. There were so many pretty details that just added to the card. The butterfly was cut out of fabric. It is another new die release from Artist Studio.
Anywhoo just wanted to share all the projects from this past weekend. Sorry I haven't been posting but I was busy cutting kits everyday after being out on appointments all day. I've also been in training for our new electronic machine called the Eclips. I'm so excited to have one. The cutting on this machine is awesome! I've never seen a machine cut so fast.

Have a great evening!!!
