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.

Girl Talk

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great Sunday.  A day of rest for me before another busy week.

I have a fun card for anyone that loves to talk on the phone.

I have had this stamp from Paper Nest Dolls, for awhile and had never inked it up before now.  I am not sure why, because it was fun to color.

I colored the image with my Copic markers:

Skin: E11, E21, E51, E50

Hair: E57, E35, E33

Desk: G99, G94

Shorts: B37, B34

Phone: C2, C0

I used the Girl Squad paper from Pebbles for the pattern paper.

The stamp set is from Spellbinders.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

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.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment and then don’t forget to go to the next hopper to continue hopping along.
