Something Sweet

Hello Everyone

Well here we are in February already.

This month over on the 

crafterscompanion-challenge.blog the theme

is "Something Sweet".

I wanted to make a Valentine Treat Bag

for someone special, just to say thank you.

I put little red and silver kisses inside.

As you can see, through the front of the card.

The stamp I am using today is from

 S.W.A.L.K. 3, called Thank You.

I stamped it out and colored it in with the

Spectrum-Noir makers.

Then cut the image out and placed it on the treat bag with pop dots.

Stamped a few flowers right on the bag. Tied a red ribbon at the top to keep it closed.

Now I have a cute little gift that I hope will make my friend smile.

If you want to make this wonderful little treat bag.

 Click on the Valentine Treat Bag above.

It is so easy.

We would love you to make a project and enter it in the contest this month.

We also have a stamp set to give away each week.

Hop over to the challenge site

and take a look.

Tilda Vintage Rose

Hello Everyone,

Today is Tilda day.

Meet Tilda with Vintage Roses.

I started out with a 6 1/2 by 11 inch

piece of card stock, folded in half.

I airbrushed the green for the grass and

the blue for the sky.

After stamping the Old Oak Tree and

Tulip Walk Way, I colored them in with my

Spectrum-Noir markers.

I stamped out Tilda and the little snail on

Neenah solar white card stock,

using Tuxedo black memento ink.

Cut them out and put them on with

 mounting foam.

For the grass I used the Martha Stewart

grass punch.

Added some gitter.

Made some flowers to put in the corner.

Then last but not least, the tiny butterfly,

who looks like he's had to much pixie punch, lol.

Is heading for the flowers to take a nap!

For the inside, first I added green paper then a piece of pink butterfly paper.

Added some silver sticker strips.

And now this little card can be given to a special person and you can write what you like.

 I love the Magnolia line of stamps and products.

They are so fun to work with.

I also received the Magnolia magazine

 in the mail, and it is awesome!!

If you would like to know more about

Magnolia and her friends.

Pop over to Stamping Scrapping and

Rose Clock

Hello Everyone,

Yes it's Wednesday again, and here I am.

Today I want to show you one of the wonderful stamps

from Stamp It.

Crafter's Companion  is going to be carrying

this great line of stamps.
This is what we will be making today.

This is a brand new month and we have

all kinds of things happening over at the 

Crafter's Companion Blog Site

We have a Contest to see how many members

we can get by February 29th.

You and I both could win, just click on contest

and check it out.

Then you need to pop over to the 

Challenge Blog  where we give away a stamp 

each week.  You can also post the projects

you make with a Crafter's Companion stamp.
The prize this month is the Strawberry Kisses CD ROM and 3 Strawberry Kisses Stamp Sets.

This month's theme is

"Something Sweet"

And you can enter 3 times.

O.K. let's get to the stamp before it takes

 you until next Wednesday to read this.

:) LOL:)

This stamp is called "Rose Clock".

I stamped it out on silver card stock.

Cut out 2 arch shapes, one with the

stamp on it and one plain.

I punched 2 wholes in the cards

 and tied together with ribbon and added

the little flowers.

That way, you can put a sentiment on

the inside.

Now for the gift to go with the card.

When I stamped out the image on the card

I scanned it into the computer and enlarged it

to about 7 x 5 (inches). Cut that out ( same silver card stock)
with a little extra around the edges to embellish.

I colored in the flowers with my

Spectrum-Noir markers.

The clock hands I cut out of black

chipboard. Then added a little 

 Autumn Gold Rub-N-Buff

to give it an  aged look.

                                                                                     

O.K. take a breath, go get a drink,

"of water" :) and we will finish up.

Around the left hand side of the card

 I punched out little heart shaped wholes.

I had a bunch of paper flowers on stems.

Threaded them through the wholes to

frame the stamp, added the bows and

that part is done.

For the last part, I wanted to make this into

a container to hold flowers.

I found a small tin that I purchased

after Christmas. I covered it with some

 pretty paper, ( because I didn't want

 ho ho ho to show through).

:)LOL:)

Then covered that with pink tissue paper.

I attached it to the card with

adhesive foam squares.

Now you can put a small vase of flowers in it.
Depending on the size of the tin, you can get
 a dozen or so flowers in this gift.
Add your little card and your done!

Here is the finished Project.

I had a blast making this.
Please come back next week and see
what else we can make.
If their are any products you would like
to know more about, please ask.


Thank you for stopping by.
Have a scrappy day.

Let It Snow!!

Hi Everyone,

I know it's  February, and here

in Ohio we have had a very mild winter.

I am very happy with that, but I know the

kiddos love the snow.

This little stamp is by S.W.A.L.K.

and I think they are so cute.

This one is called, you got it!

 Let it snow

Isn't she to cute?

Crafter's Compaion has all  kinds

of wonderful stamps to make cards,

scrapbook pages, boxes, journals, and

well, you get my drift.

And over on the Challenge Blog they

are giving away a stamp every week.

Pop over and check it out.

They also have a contest to

win an even bigger prize at the end

of the month. Make a project and enter. 

This month the theme is "Something Sweet".

 Let's see those beautiful projects.

For my card today, I stamped her out on

white card stock. Colored her in with my

favorite markers, Spectrum-Noir.

I added some white flock to her hat and

 little drops of  Crystal-Lacquer to make

the snow flakes glossy.

I popped her on the easel card, punched

out some snow flakes, then layered them, to

get a 3-D effect. 

The easel card was made with the

 The-Ultimate-Crafters-Companion Tool.

This is a must if you want to make

cards and boxes.

It has all the tools you need in a great 

carrying case. It also comes with a video

to help you step by step.

She was so fun to make!
