Belle Of The Ball

Hi Everyone,

I hope all of you had a great week.

Today we get a sneak peak at

the new set of stamps from

 S.W.A.L.K.

This stamp line is one of my favorites.

I fell in love with,

Belle Of The Ball.

I think she is so sweet.

I stamped her out on the wonderful new

Ultra Smooth Premium-Card Stock.

This card stock is fast becoming my favorite.

Proceeded to color her in with the

Spectrum-Noir Markers.

Then cut her out.

I placed bits of lace and flowers on

a lovely pink card, and popped her

on a pretty piece of precut chipboard.

Her dress and crown has

stickles diamond glitter on them.

I added little pearl earrings,

and the sentiment,

"Belle Of The Ball"

I think she is ready for her prince!!

You can find the entire line of

S.W.A.L.K.

stamps over on the

Crafter's Companion Website.

Pop over and take a look.

This is what they will look like.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

The Theme This Month Is Flowers

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to tell you about the

 Crafter's Companion's Challenge Blog.

This month the theme is flowers.

All you have to do is, use a

Crafter's Companion stamp,

and make a project using flowers.

The contest starts today and

ends the last day of May.

You can enter up to three times.

Make sure you are a member of the blog,

 a resident of the U.S., and that you use one of the Crafter's Companion stamps.

The designers have made some wonderful

projects, pop over and take a look. 

This month I made a little gift box,

with the Fairyopolis

decoupage and a fenced in

garden of roses.

I started out making the box with the

Crafter's Companions Ultimate Tool.

and 2 sheets of

Purple Pearlescent Card Stock.

The first sheet I cut a 6 x 8 piece of

card stock, and scored it

at 2 inches and 6 inches.

Then turned and scored

2 inches and 4 inches.

Then cut as shown.

For the second piece of card stock

I cut it out at 4 x 6. And scored

the long side at 1 inch and at 5 inches. Turned and scored at 1 inch and 3 inches.

Then cut as shown.

Then just fold the end up as

shown, and use a  good liquid glue.

 Hold together with paper clips,

until dry.

The 2 little pieces at the bottom are

cut 1 x 2 and they go on the

inside of the lid, on the ends,

 to cover the  folded flaps.

When dry, take the clips off,

and put the lid on the box.

Then just embellish the lid.

I used a die from Die-namics,

called wood grain fence. Cut out 3 strips

and glue together end to end, then wrap

it around the box and glue.

Fill it with flowers and fairies,

add a sentiment and your done.

Then sentiment stamp I used is from the Beatrix Potter line of stamps.

I added the 2 little carrots, because
what's a garden without veggies,

:) LOL:)

I hope you liked the project today,

and give the little box a try.

The only thing that matters when

you're in your craft room, is having fun!!!

I am here to help, as are all the designers.

We all love comments.

And if you have a better way of

 doing something, please let me know.

I love to learn!! 

Thank you for stopping by.

And Have a scrappy day.

Fun In The Sun

Hi everyone,

I am so excited today!

This week we are getting the new Humphrey Stamps.

These stamps are so adorable!
I started out by stamping 2 of the
swing set images on white card stock.
Then colored them in with my
Spectrum-Noir Markers and cut
them both out with my Xacto knife.
Did the same with the tree.
(tree is not in stamp set)
I glued the first set down with
Mono-Multi Glue.
I put foam dots on the tree to
give it a little dimension.

 Added brown twine for the rope
 on the swing, then cut out the
 elephants head, legs, and hands.
I overlapped the hands, so she looks
like she's holding the rope.
Then put the remainder of the
 pieces on with the foam dots.

For the leaves on the tree,  grass and
flowers, I used flower soft.

For the sky and grass I just airbrushed
with splashes of blue and green.

When it was all dry, I mounted
the card on pink card stock,
then on a piece of black chipboard.

The sentiment, is stamped on
2 triangles, then cut, put on pop
dots for that 3-D look.

Add a little bumble bee
And your done.



There will be 12 sets in all.
Crafter's Companion has all
kinds of wonderful stamps.
They also have markers, paper,
embellishments, and so on. But the best part is they have the best people
on staff to answer any questions
 you may have.

Also, there is still time to make
a project for the
Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog
pop over and take a look.

I hope you enjoyed the project
this week.

Thank you for stopping by.
&
Have a scrappy day.
