    Bri's Ghoulish Googlies


    Stampin' Up!  Made it so easy for us this Halloween with the Ghoulish Googlies set.  Bri loved this set with the double sided tags that she could choose her little ghoul and stamp away.  She added the eyes and of course nothing would be complete of hers without a little shiny shimmery paint spray. She put the halloween hand sanitizers in the bag and she can't wait to give them to her friends for Halloween!

    Orchard Harvest


    Happy Fall Y'all!
    For this months class we did 3 projects all using the Orchard Harvest collection.  These little projects came out so cute!  When I first saw the Perfectly Preserved set I thought to myself I would never use that set, I'm not a canner and I'm not really into the fall thing.  BUT... after seeing this first project done by Mary Bellis I just new I had to have it.  I guess I couldn't see past the end of my nose when I first saw this cannery framelit set but this set can be used for any occasion, all you have to do is change up the DSP. 


                                             
                                               Perfectly Preserved nugget jar:
                                               CS- Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple
                                               DSP - Orchard Harvest
                                               Ink pad - Raspberry Ripple
                                               Framelit - Cannery Set
                                               Ribbon - Taffeta Early Espresso
                                               Big Shot, Simply scored, large oval punch, posted note
                                               
                                              The box portion that holds the nuggets is 1 1/2" x 4 1/2" 
                                                            score the 1 1/2" side at 1/4" and 1 1/4"
                                                            score the 4 1/2" side at 1 1/2" and 3"
                                                           The topover portion is 1 1/4" x 1 1/2"
                                                           score the 1 1/2" side at 1/4" and 1 1/4"

                                                           There is a great video over here on youtube.


                                            Friendship Preserves Card with a fabric flower
                                             

                                              CS - More Mustard, Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla
                                              DSP - Orchard Harvest
                                              Fabric - Orchard Harvest
                                              Stamp Set - Friendship Preserves, Wonderfall
                                              Framelits - Window Frames
                                              Paper Piercing pack - festive
                                              Ink Pads - Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple
                                              Brush Bronzed buttons
                                              Jumbo Sticky round
                                              Bigz Die - Autumn Accents
                                              Big Shot
                                              Dimensionals

    To Step this card up a notch use the woodgrain Textured Embossing folder to emboss the Raspberry Ripple CS background.


    For the Fabric Flower I took one fat quarter from the Orchard Harvest Fabric box and holding it long ways vertically I did a little snip at 1".  I then tore the fabric the rest of the way.  Take that piece of fabric and tie a knot at one of the ends.  This will be your starting point.  Get your Jumbo sticky round and press the knot into the middle of the round then start twisting your fabric and then pressing it down around the knot working your way out. Once at the end of the fabric just tuck it under the fabric that's already stuck down and cut the remaining if any sticky round off and place on your project. 


    Preserved Just for you Mason Nugget Jar
    Ok so you don't have time to make the perfectly preserved nugget jar above here is a quick and easy alternative. In this type of jar you can put anything you like in it: pie, brownie, cookies, Jelly Beans...


    Mason Jar
    CS - very Vanilla
    Ink Pad - Gumball Green
    Fabric - Orchard Harvest
    Ribbon - Sweater Trim Gumball Green
    Stamp set - Friendship Preserves 
    Framelits - Window Frames
    Bigz Die - Scallop Circle
    Big Shot


                          
                                              Quick and easy, nothing to it!

    Hope you enjoyed Wednesdays Projects!

    Birthday Cards

    This month our family has a couple of birthdays to celebrate and because the time for the party snuck up on me way to quickly I thought what more of a better time then now to think up of some quick card ideas.  I love the idea of using white and one other color. To me it seems like it showcases the card meaning more. This isn't the greatest picture because like I said the party was only an hour from starting  so I had to quickly take a pic before I gave it to my sister. 


    CS- Whisper White, Marina Mist
    Framelits - Labels Collection
    Ink pad - Marina Mist
    Pearl basic Jewels
    Paper Piercing Pack - Festive
    Embossing Folder - Perfect Polka Dots
    Retired Marina Mist ribbon


    This next card I had some punches left over in my punch jar so I thought I would use those since that would save me some time on making a card.  I chose one color and then the others pieces just as accents since they were already prepunched.  This card was for my mom who will be turning 57 on the 19th. I don't feel like she is getting older, I feel like I'm catching up to her.


    CS - Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive
    Ink Pad - Tangerine Tango
    Stamp set - Mixed Bunch, 
    Punches - Blossom, Blossom Petals Builder

    Wunderle Wednesdays Stamp Class

    Sorry the picture isn't the best but I had fun showing the girls a couple of different techniques.

    The first is putting a stamped image on a candle.


    This is very easy way to create a custom candle.
    1) stamp your image on tissue paper.  I used the Christmas stamp set in chocolate chip.
    2) tear or cut the tissue paper around your image as close as can.
    3) cut a piece of wax paper large enough to cover the image and wrap all the way around the candle      and enough to hold in your hand so you won't get burned by the heat tool.
    4) position the stamped image where you want it on the candle and wrap the tissue paper around the image and the candle.
    5) use the heat tool to heat the stamp image on the candle only long enough until the wax paper changes.
    6) after heating gently roll the candle on the table
    7) slowly remove the wax paper and let cool




    Our 2nd project is the fancy favor die cut box

    Fancy Favor die cut box
    Very Vanilla CS, Chocolate Chip CS
    Gumball Green ink pad
    Christmas Lodge stamp set
    Very Vanilla Seam binding
    pearls
    spritzer tool
    chocolate chip marker
    tissue paper
    square lattice embossing folder


    Our 3rd card uses the Fabric Sheet technique.  It's hard to see but this card sparkles a lot!


    Very Vanilla CS
    DSP Be of Good Cheer
    Chocolate Chip CS
    Gumball Green CS
    Stamped tree from Christmas Lodge stamp set using Gumball green ink pad
    I used the anywhere glue stick and rubbed the glue over the entire piece of very vanilla CS with the tree stamped on it.
    I took a used dryer sheet and flatten it out
    after flatten I glued it to the stamped image
    Smooth out and let dry for a few minutes
    I then used the dazzling diamonds and sprinkled it all over the dryer sheet and then tapped the excess off.
    The card is ready to assemble.
    Add gumball green statin stitched ribbon, Crochet Trim and an Antique Brad
    Watch the snow glisten on the tree!

    Baby Shower Card

    This is a baby shower card I made for my cousin Amy's baby shower.  She's due September 1st and we can't wait to see the little guy!

    I used DSP from a retired simply Scrappin' kit. CS is marina mist and chocolate chip.  The stamp set is also a retired set CHOO CHOO train and Full of Life stamp set for the saying.
