Stampin Friends Blog Hop- Just Rewind and Redo

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop.  This month the theme is Rewind and Redo. This means that we are sharing a new project using a technique or project we have done in the past.  I am redoing this project from our January Hop, Birthday Celebrations.  If you are following along the hop, you should have arrived from Steph Jandrow's blog.  Make sure to read through my blog, comment below and then continue to Jo Blackman's blog.

If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each blog.

Here are the projects I created for our Just Rewind and Redo theme.   

Up first is the card I created. 

 I created the card base with paper from Echo Park and the die from Sizzix.  I then stamped the image from Clearly Besotted- Flower Friends on a piece of White cardstock and die cut it with my Journey Squares.  

I stamped the sentiment from the same set with black ink.

I colored the image with my Copics:

Body: W5, W3, W1

Stem: YG13, YG11

Flower: Y15, Y13, Y11.

 

I then created a tag to match using the same supplies and Copics.  I made the tag with a die from Spellbinders.

Together the projects look wonderful, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment and then hop along with us.

Stampin Friends Blog Hop: Happy Holidays

 

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Happy Holidays.  If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Jean's blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Heidi's blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.

Here are the Holiday projects I created for this month’s hop.

 

Up first is the card I created. 

 

I used cardstock from Fun Stanmpers Journey and pattern paper from Photo Play to create the base of the card.  

 

I then stamped this cute little Santa from Kindred Stamps onto a piece of Cardstock and colored him with my Copics.

Hat, Jacket, Pants: R39, R35, R29

Beard, eyebrows and mustache: C1, C00

Boots: 100

Skin: E21, E00

Buckle: Y28

Bag: G94, G24

 I then die cut the circle from Circle Around die set from Fun Stampers Journey and popped Santa on top of the circle.

To finish the card, I added a twine bow and little paper flags.  I then stamped the sentiment from Kindred Stamps with Cranberry Bliss ink from Fun Stampers Journey.  Then I added some white glitter Stickles to his hat and suit for fun.

 

For my project, I created a little mini mailbox for letters to Santa.

 

I used a svg file from Lori Whitlock to create the mini mailbox.  I cut the mailbox at 2 inches high, so it was proportional to Santa.  I placed a Hershey's Kiss inside the mailbox to be used as a treat box.    

I colored Santa the same way as above.

Here are the card and mailbox together.

  I hope you liked the projects I shared and you will have some ideas after continuing with the hop.  Please leave me a comment and keep on hopping.

Stampin Friends Fall/Outdoor/Halloween Blog Hop

 

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Fall/Outdoor/Haloween.  If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Kim's blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Tiziana's blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.

Here are the Halloween projects I created for this month’s hop.

 

Up first is the card I created. 

 

I used cardstock from Fun Stanmpers Journey and pattern paper from Pebbles to create the base of the card.  I used Black Licorice Twine around the sentiment I stamped from Jack O'Lantern set in Black Licorice ink from Fun Stampers Journey on Butter Cream Cardstock.  

I then used my Cricut to cut out the cute ghost image from Treasure Box Designs. 

 

 

A fun and spooky card.

 

For my project, I created a door hanger that I can stuff with treats and give to my neighbor for Halloween.

 

 

  The hanger itself is a Cricut file I had.  I then cut the same pattern paper from Pebbles for the background.    The ghost image is cut from a file from Treasure Box Designs.

 

 

I finished the box off by stamping the "Boo" from the JackO'Lantern set from Fun Stampers Journey with Black Licorice ink on Butter Cream Cardstock and placed them around the ghost. 

 

 

To finish the project off, I stamped the "Happy Halloween" on Orange Creamcicle cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey from the Happy Halloween ATS with Black Licorice ink.  I then detail cut the words out and popped it up on the pocket.  

 I hope you liked the projects I shared and you will have some ideas after continuing with the hop.  Please leave me a comment and keep on hopping.

Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Heidi Collins' blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.

Here are the projects I created for this month’s hop.

I had to play with my new stamp sets from Lawn Fawn; Village Heroes and Happy Village.

The card base was created with a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then created the background using Distress Oxides.  I stamped all the images and fussy cut each piece out.

I used Copics to color the images.

Stop Sign: R37, R35

Police Car: B37, B34, R35, 100, Y15, B0000

Houses: Y15, Y13, Y11, YR02, YR61, YR20, YG17, YG13, YG11, V17, V15, B0000, E57, E35, E33, E31

Police Station: T7, T5, T3, T1, Y15, B0000

Car: C5, C3, C1, B0000, Y15, 100

The project is a svg file from Dreaming Tree and I cut the pieces out with my Cricut.

Stampin Friends Masculine Blog Hop

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Masculine. If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Kim Quade blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Maureen Rauchfuss' blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.

Here are the projects I created for this month’s hop.

 I always struggle with the masculine theme.  I don't know about you but cards for men are hard to design and feel so plain to me compared to the ones I create for girls.  This time I turned to Dreaming Tree for help.

I created the shutter card from their Good for Guys bundle, using their svg file.  This is a picture of the front of the card.

The bow tie is a belly band and comes off to open the card.

Then when you open the card, the shutter opens and it reveals the message.

To create the card I used cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey, pattern paper from Echo Park and the stamped sentiment was stamped with Black Licorice ink and a sentiment from Spellbinders.

The project is also a svg file from Dreaming Tree and matches the paper I used on the card.

This is one side of the lantern.  The other side looks like this below.

This is a lantern, so the recipient could add a battery-operated tealight to the inside and the images of the man on the bike would be more noticeable.

I hope you liked the projects I shared and you will have some ideas after continuing with the hop.  Please leave me a comment and keep on hopping.

Stampin Friends Blog Hop

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Flowers and Mom. If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Maureen's blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Barbara's blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.

Here are the projects I created for this month’s hop.

I used the 6 x 6 pad by Pebbles called Girl Squad to create the card.  I then used Whip Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey to create the card base and sentiment pieces.  The sentiment comes from a stamp set from Spellbinders.

The focal point, the flower, was created using Liquid Color by Fun Stampers Journey in Watermelon Fusion, following a technique I saw from Jennifer McGuire on Watercolor paper.  She took regular watercolors, which I do not have, and dropped the colors on the saturated image with the color and rolled it around.  The technique was really impressive, but I think my image was too small and too detailed to get the same effect.  I still like the way it came out though.

Here is a detailed look of just the flower:

I did stamp the flower onto Watercolor paper with Clear Pigment ink and White Embossing powder.  The flower stamp is from the Cottage Bouquet stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey.

 My project, is the same idea as my card, just as a tag, so I can add it to a gift for mom for Mother's Day.

Here is another view of the tag.

The Black Licorice Sparkle tape is from Fun Stampers Journey.

Stampin Friends Blog Hop- Birthday Bash

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Birthday Bash. If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Rachel's blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Teri's blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.

Here are the projects I created for this month’s hop

I created the shaker part a little different.  I used tulle instead of acetate.  I have seen this technique, but had never tried it before.  You create the same "sandwich"; frame, acetate, foam tape, background piece; you just need to substitute the acetate for tulle.

I then used silk in Silver and Gold from Fun Stampers Journey to brighten the background, card layer.

I cut strips from pattern paper to create the flags on the front.  I then stamped the sentiment on to a star die cut.

The one thing I learned is that you can not use little "fillers" in the shaker card this way because they sneak out the holes in the tulle.  
 

 My project, is a sweet little triangular box I die cut with the free file from Dreaming Tree called Christmas Treats Gift box.  I used the same pattern paper I used for the background of the shaker area. 

I then die cut a silver and a white star and stamped the matching sentiment on the star.   I tied a black licorice twine bow at the top of the box. 

All supplies are from Fun Stampers Journey, except the shaker filler.  The shaker filler came from Akron.
