tisTheSeason

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in over a month. I have made a few cards since then and some decorations for work but I didn't take the pictures. This card is one of this year's Christmas cards. That's 3 down and twenty or so to go.
The sentiment and bakers twine came from PaperTreyInks.
The ornament is a Sizzix Die.
The paper is from a stack I bought at ACMoore.







There's a lot of glitter on this card including the sentiment that I misted. Eventhough this picture is out of focus it shows all the glitz.

Season of Joy

This card was created for The Clean and Simple Challenge at Cas-ual Fridays blogspot.



The ornament was created on my Sizzix Big Shot and decorated with stickles. The sentiment is from CTMH.



Halloween Treat Bags

My latest project was treat bags for my son's Halloween party. Leave it to me to post after Halloween. LOL
I cut the bags from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge in orange and black cardstock I bought at JoAnne's.

The orange bags were decorated with the Jackolantern from Wild Card on one side. The other side was covered with paper from a seasonal stack I purchased at JoAnne's. I added a tag cut from CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and stamped with a stamp from the $1 bin at JoAnne's.
(Can you tell that ....I LOVE JOANNE'S!)

The black bags were decorated with two different designs of paper from the seasonal stack mentioned above. I decorated one side with the spider web from the Wild card cartridge and the spider from the Wrap It Up cartridge. I used black stickles to make those spiders sparkle. Same tags were used for the other side of the black bags.

Let me know what you think.

Card for Challenge #12

This card was created for Challenge #12 at Christmas Challenges (with sketches). Click here for the challenge.
The sentiment and snow man stamps are from CTMH. I am not sure where I got the paper I used but I love the glitter card stocks. The blue ribbon is from 3 Girls Jam. The snow flake was handpainted using blue stickles and glittered with white iridescent glitter.

Birthday Card Challenge at Birthday Sundaes

This card was created for Challenge#31 at Birthday Sundaes. Click here to see the challenge.

This card is 3 3/4 x 9. I used the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge to cut all the shapes. The packages are actually layered 3 times to make the stand out. I raised the two smaller (cut at 2.75) packages with some pop dots above the larger package (cut at 3).



The sentiment is from a Birthday set I bought at a scrapbook boutique. I stamped it blue and embossed it with metallic embossing powder and my heat gun.
All paper was from the DCWVCelbration stack.













My Very First Explosion Box

I thought I would share this attempt at an explosion box. The inside is rather easy to do but i just can't figure out why the box has the gaps when the lid is on it.
If any one sees this and wants to share some helpful hints, I qwould definitely appreciate it.


Outside of the box.





Inside arial view.






View from the side. See the pumkin inside?
