World Card Making Day

Yes its soon come round!!

World Card Making day, 

Over at The Stamping Boutique

we are joining in with a blog hop

go check it out !!

I made my card out of the digi image called Cupcake

I loaded it into my graphic program, increased the size

and then printed it by itself and on several different papers.

I had a go at paper piecing for the first time.

What a brilliant effect !

I also covered the frosting bit in glitter glue so it looks like frosting !

I then cut out the whole image I printed and adhered the pieces to it.

Attatching that to a tent fold card that fits just inside the cupcake.

Happy World Card Making Day !! 

Autumnal bag

The year is sure rolling by October already !

This week our challenge over at 

Polka Doodles is ...........

Yes you guessed it !!!

AUTUMN !

(Click on the pic to go to the challenge)

I used two CD's to make my scenic gift bag

Bonbon Belles    and      Sundea of Seasons

           

Just love them both !
I used a paper from Bonbon Belles for the background,
adding houses, characters, brown leaves and fences from the same CD.
The apple trees and pumpkins came from Sundea of Seasons.
I created an Autumnal scene for the front of my bag.
I love Autumn.

I used a die to make the shape of my bag,

I used my distress inks around the edges,

glittered up the houses with my Stickles,

and then added ribbon for the handles.

The images are all raised using foam pads from the background.

The main part of the bag is a white paper Kraft bag.

I just cut it down to fit inside my die cuts !

The photos don't do this justice, it was so hard to photograph !

Hope you like it.

More Witchie Treats

As promised yesterday here is the second project

I made for the challenge at The Stamping Boutique.

I'm loving making Halloween things this year !

Last year we had a big party

We all dressed up, maybe I can be talked into posting a pic of me !

One of the games was for the children to turn their mums

into Mummies with toilet roll !!!

I know I have made one of these before

but I LOVE them !!

It is a Coffin shaped treat box !

The template is on my Pinterest

I used the fantastic digi stamp

Smoochie Halloween set !

I coloured using promarkers and inked the edges of the sentiment.

You get the witch, cat and sentiment plus a few other things in the set !!

Hope your having fun getting your Halloween things created !

Happy Crafting.

Witchie treats

Halloween will soon be here !!

The streets will soon be filled of children having fun

and the dentists rubbing their hands waiting !!! lol

Sorry !!

Its time as The Stamping Boutique for another Challenge !

You guessed it the theme is 

HALLOWEEN !!!

Pop on over and join in the fun !

I made a treat box that is a Witches Shoe!

I'm not sure if my daughter is trying to pinch it because its cute

or for the chocolate !!!

Bet it is the Chocolate !!!

I used a template cut and adhered both the shoe and lining out.

You cant see it but the inner paper has Bats on it !!

I used the fantastic digi stamp

Smoochie Halloween set !

I coloured using promarkers and inked the edges of the sentiment.

You get the witch, cat and sentiment plus a few other things in the set !!

I filled a cello bag with sweets, tied it with ribbon to match the shoe buckle.

I made another project for the challenge which I will pop on my blog later.

Happy crafting !!

Happy birthday.

Its time for a new challenge over at Lothian Crafts.

This month the theme is ......

A SKETCH ! 

Here is the sketch to follow.

Pop on over and join in the fun !

I have to say I find sketches quite difficult.

But I did it !!

I decided to make it a clean and simple card. 

I used the following dies:

Marianne Creatable leaves

Marianne Swirl leaf

Marianne Anjas Sqaures

I cut the three hearts out of the corners of a Anja square die cut.

All edges are inked with distress inks and glittered.

I added flowers and pearls.

Hope you like it! I have to admit to struggling, sketches I find 

quite hard sometimes.

Watch out for another post from me today!

Happy crafting !!

Halloween Pumpkin

First of all I would like to say a big hello to my new followers

and Thank you so much for following me.

I now have 100 followers ! Wow it amazes me !!

Perhaps it time for some candy ..... after all it is nearly Halloween and 

candy is a must !

Also a big thank you to every one who is popping by, thank you !

Oh yes its nearly Halloween !!!

Will you be out there trick or treating ???

No party this year for us we had a huge one last year!

BUT the girls will be out in their costumes I'm sure !!

I used the new Halloween digi download  from Polka Doodles to make this pumpkin.

I made three different sized rosettes and stacked them up,

Cut three larger, two medium and two small paper strips

to make your rosettes from.

you can find a tutorial I did on making rosettes HERE

Cut out leaves and added a tag with sentiment !

All with papers and sentiments from the downloads

     

I got the stick out of the garden and just poked it in the middle.

Very technical term that lol !

I just love the effect of this and the paper is lush !

Tomorrow I have my lollipop broom sticks for you .....

Ok I know I'm getting carried away by Halloween !
