Halloween Card

This card base was made using the Wild Card cartridge, page 48. It cut it at 5 inches with black card stock. The spider web  on the inside was cut  from Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. On the front of the card  I used a halloween napkin. Watch the video here      Paper Napkin and Cling Wrap Card Video    on how to make a card with a napkin and plastic wrap. I added lace around the circle.  A metal charm was added to  hang from the tree that says "Beware". I know its hard to see in the picture. At the end the card was sprayed  with gold glitter all over the front.

This was a fun and quick card to make. Since I didnt have to buy all the small stamps to stamp this card. The printed napkin did all the work for me and saved me the expense.

The move has started. I will post a few pictures on the next post.

Box Easel Card and a Box Easel Tag Card

Here is the 3rd video I was trying to get completed before I moved next week. It is a very easy Box Easel card. I used some premade boxes so the card goes together very fast. I also made a Box Easel Tag card that goes together even faster. Let me know if you give it a try. All comments are welcome.

I will be boxing up my craft room next week. The movers are coming on the 15th. Once I get moved and my craft room set back up. I will start posting again. I do have one Halloween card left to post. By the time I get back online Halloween will be almost if not over. Then we will start the fall and Thanksgiving cards. Here in Texas the fall is so welcoming after the hot dry summer we have had.

My Store Front Cards

I saw this card being made on youtube. Check out the awning card video's by Stamping with Di or SlaterDeee or Elainescreations. All these ladies have great how to videos on youtube. This is my version of this card. I loved it so much I made 3 of them. I hope you enjoy them.

Youtube wont let me add text to this video. So I hope it all makes sense. Email me if you have any questions.

Thanks so very much for stopping by my blog and watching my video.

I have decided to move

I have decided to move. Goodbye cute little cottage. My lease has been up for sometime here and I thought I would just stay. I hate moving so it seemed the sensible thing to do. Right ? since I just repaint the kitchen and living room . But I stepped back and thought hmmmmm no matter how lovely the paint is.. I'm just not happy here. So I found a wonderful house to lease and I'm moving!!!! So I will try and get the 3 video's I had planned done before I pack it all in and move on out!


The one thing I'm so excited about is the new place has place for a huge craft room. The new room is about a 15x15. Here I have a 10 x 10 room. way to small for all my craft stuff!!! So hopefully the plans for a bigger room will help motivate me with all the back breaking moving. I dread all the packing and unpacking and the moving!!

Good thing is the weather will be cooler than it has been in the past 6 months. I better get started on those videos. Wish me luck!!!!!!!! I think I will need it. I hate moving!!!

The Bug Magazine has arrived

The Bug Magazine has arrived!!!!! Today I got my copy of The Bug Magazine that I have 3 submission in.
One is a tag I did to celebrate Grandparents day. The other is a tissue and wrap Anniversary card. The other one is a napkin and wrap Fall card.
I will be doing a video on the cards later this week. I was hoping to have it done by now but I have been lost in home repairs. I have been painting my kitchen. I choose a lovely green for my kitchen redo but it turned out to be Cricut green. Dont get me wrong I love that color of  green. However maybe not the best color for a kitchen. So off to Lowes I go again to try another color. I am  so very color challenged. I had a friend once that was so good at paint choices. I miss that talent now. Maybe if he stops by my blog he will offer to give me some help!! I think im on my own here, tho. So I wont have time to get the video done today.  Here are the pictures until then.

Thanks and Happy Crafting

Giant  tag is 11 1/2 inches and pictures of my granddaughter on the wall. In the video I will show you how I made the cricut head and the tiny Cricut cartridges.

Made with 2 tissue paper's from Hallmark and a cricut cut

The inside was from a cricut cart and a stamp

Off on a road trip

Wow!! In a few days it will be my birthday. I'm not sure how I feel about that. When you hit 50 I think something changes for you. You stop worrying about what everyone thinks and decide to do your own thing more often. I have decided for my birthday I want to go to OK City to see an art exhibit of the 400 year anniversary of the King James Bible. Sounds like it will be a fun and informational exhibit. No one else wanted to see the exhibit So I'm taking myself on a short few days trip for my birthday. Along the way to OK City I plan to stop by a few scrap booking stores and a stamp shop or two.
Here is the link to the Exhibit     EXPLOREPASSAGES.com
They will be there until October then its off to the Vatican.

When I get back I hope to post a video of our last card swap. The card's are so wonderful!!!! I also have a few cards I have been working on for the next swap. I also have those 6x6 pages for the Ranger swap that are driving me crazy.I'll also post some info on the stores I stopped at along the way. I will post all that when I get back!!

Honeycomb Pumpkin Cards

Hello Everyone
Thank you for stopping by my blog and taking a look at some of my cards. I'm still in shock that I have reached over 100 followers. Thank you so much!!!!! You have no idea what that means to me.
I have been working on some cards that are for one of the swaps I signed up. Here are some pics. These cards were made with some Halloween decorations I found at the Dollar Tree. I made 6 of these cards.
In trying to fill  some large blocks of time that I have found myself with, I think I may have signed up for to many swaps. I have so many cards left to make. I have been having a blast however working with so much paper and Ranger Inks. I am in the middle of my first Ranger product card swap. There are 20 6x6 pages to be made. I am a bit behind. Im on my 3rd sketch and still not 100% decided what the outcome will be. As soon as I'm done I will post the pages. I decided to work on these 6 cards while I was taking a break from the Ranger  6x6 pages. Now that I am done with this set of cards. I will get back to my  other swap cards.
Have a great week. I am so glad Fall is coming to Texas!!!! Funny when low 90's feel like a Fall day!!!!

I got this idea from watching a video from Inky Antics, They have some new honeycomb paper and stamps sets. Here is the video http://www.inkyantics.com/honeypop.htm

Pumpkins were cut at 2" and 1 1/2 from MS Seasonal Cake Cart. The arrow was cut  at 4" from Sans Serif cart. The sentiment was a stamp. The bookplate is a Sizzix die.

Inside mat was cut at 7 3./4 by 4 3/4. The stamp was a $1 stamp from Michaels. I rounded the corners with my MS corner rounder

The honeycombs came from The Dollar Tree. I found these in the halloween section. They came 6 to a package.

Stick Pin Dress Form







She is made from wire and stands about 12 inches tall



I stuffed her with fiberfill before I wrapped her in fabric.



The fiberfill will hold all the stick pins in place.






 

I used hot glue to hold the fabric on the frame.

I used tulle to wrap around her waist and for her scarf. She is a wonderful place to hold stick pins. She will be a gift for a lovely lady that sent me a wonderful RAK along with a napkin swap.
