Stamp Addict Card Swap

I'm late in posting these since our meeting was last week. We had a very fun meeting except we were missing our project teacher. She was not able to be at the meeting but she got a standing and she did very well for her. These are the cards from our swap.



This is the project we made for this month.
.
We decided that our next month we will each have a card station. This is where each person will decide how a card is to be made and have the supplies for all to make. Sort of like in kindergarten where you have stations we will have card stations themes of your choice.

Forever Young Tag

I have another Tag. This one is a entry to Platinum Scraps go check those designer out they are fantastic. This week the challenge was to the Cricut cart Forever Young. On this tag I use as the background white cs and edged it with a distressing tool and inked it with Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet distress inks and a TH stamp and a flourish. Then added some fibers and safety pin and garment pin to hand a nice butterfly charm, prima flower and button.

Over The Top Tag Swap

I finally finish all 21 of these "Over The Top Tags" and mailed them. I should get some pretty good one back. But in the mean time this is how and what I did with these. The tag measure 3 x 7 and the back is black chipboard. The background is distressed with Distress Victorian Velvet on my craft sheet and spray with water. The side are distress with same ink. I stamped the script stamp with perfect medium and covered with perfect pearls - pearls stamp TH stamps and the dress form in Distress ink. The flower I made it out of rice paper 2 x2 in size and folded to make a triangle 3 times, the cut out a petal, sprayed it with cherry smoothie Memories Mists. Tied some fibers and there you have it. Thanks for looking.

A Party Favor or Decoration

These are pictures of a project I finished today after several trials with my Design Studio. After calling Provo Craft 3 times today I have it working. I enjoy using this software when it works. This little purse is so cute and not that hard to make. It is cut from the Forever Young cart. Once this little purse was cut I used my Scor-Pal to make the creases . The cricut cuts the slits in the inside to hold it together so there is no glue used. There is also a slit in the front that is used to hold the purse closed. I use the pink cs and inked the edges with memento rose bud ink, the flowers are cut with white and purple that you can't see because I put the MS glitter over it. added some bling a the top and the same flower in the back. The last picture is the inside.

Another Stamp Addicts cards swap

These are the cards received at my Stamping Addict meet up last night. We always have a great time when we get together. I did not have cards to swap this time so I will have to make double for next month. At this meeting I was the program director. We did some Tim Holtz techniques for the Tim Holtz Pandemonium. We all had a great time sharing things and learning things for others. This project will take us 2 months to finish only because we have allotted 2 hrs for our night out.

Storage Cricut Carts

Just had to do something to see what I have. Since catching the Cricut bug I had to do something. I saw this idea on Cricut.com and a friend recommend I try this. While in Florida we looked all over Tampa looking for this system. Finally found it after finding other cricut carts to help fill it up. On this project I use the plastic mesh and cut them and then I hot glued them at the dividers for stabilization. The pink dividers were cut with my cricut then labels made with my P-touch label maker. I do love that thing. I used it for labels in my book and overlay storage also. This system is working for me. It will now hold 30 carts. Oh no, it’s not full yet, but I’m working on it. Thanks for looking.

Goals/Resolutions

This is a paper bag mini I did for a swap on Scrapbook.com. The theme is Goals and Resolutions. The papers I used are all from one collection by DCWV the all Dressed Up Stack. Some of the paper have silver glitter flourishes and centers of flowers. I used my cricut using the Doodlecharm cart to cut the hat for celebration, the water globe I used as a crystal ball. the basket of egg and the cup cakes. The print is from the computer. Thanks for looking. The last picture is the tags
.

Mini for Swap

This album is done for a swap on Scrapbook.com. Thanks for looking. I did a lot of stamping and direct to paper. I have also started using my new toy the cricut. That's what the tree was cut from on 2 pages and the ticket tag on the last page. The swirls were also done with my wonder cricut.

A Tim Holtz Rose

This is my take on the TH rose. I tried this after looking my my material for an hour. Then I realized where I had tucked it away for safe travels. The flower is with the sizzix originals die large. Anyway I used my made glimmer mist; forever red, green patina, walnut stain. Then I spread rock candy stickles on top.

Superbowl XLIV 2010

Happy New New

Hello, everyone and Happy New Year. For those of you that have made those New Year's Resolutions I hope you are keeping up with them and not letting them "In one Year and out the other" Ha! Well, tonight I went again to my Stamp Addicts meeting. For those of you who are new to my blog we have a group of 9 lovely, creative, friendly ladies. We meet 1st Tuesday of each month and exchange cards we made and explain the technique we use or how we made it. Then one of us will teach a technique or provide the goodies for a project. I have attached some pic from tonight's meeting. My cards were actually tags that were distressed an stamped with some home made glimmer mist.

My cards were actually tags for the month. I distress and stamped from the Nick Bantock Collection. I love this stamp. The colors distress inks I used was broken china, tattered rose and home glimmer mist.





This is the January Project- A coaster 5 3/8 x 3 7/8 the and 2 pieces of pp for the front and back and then the calendar is glued to the lower half and then (not shown) put into a binder clip and that is the stand for the calendar. Cute, Cute, Cute!

Merry Christmas

Hey, this is the day before the day before Christmas. Yeah like Christmas Eve, Eve. I have gotten most of my shopping done. I got a late start this year. All the presents that I got I have wrapped already. Had a little problem with my tree this year so there isn't one. This does not make me happy. But it's still Christmas. While watching a video by scrapstress she did a technique on the slider card and I tried it and here are a few of the pictures of how I did it. Thanks for looking leave a message if you care too.
