Die Cuttin Divas - Happy Halloween

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge. This week we are bringing on the Halloween projects! So come show us what ya got :) I created a quick little bag that I can fill with candy or a little nail polish for one of the girls in the neighborhood. I just love giving treats at Halloween...maybe I love packaging them more :)

I used a cut from the Cricut cartridge Plantin Schoolbook and then cut the middle with a die cut from My Creative Time - Wicked fun Dies.

I added a fun tag and some GORGEOUS Trick or Treat Trendy Twine! Super quick and cute project to use for candy treats, classroom treats, or even mommy treats :)

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the DT and join us for the challenge! We would love to have you.

I made some fun candy treats!

How AWESOME are these word art stamps? I am in LOVE with these and ALL the different ways you can use them. The DT has done an incredible job showcasing them and you will see lots of variations during the coming days!

I made some tags that I sized perfectly for the stamp using my gypsy. I stamped the word art with tim hotlz distress ink and colored in the acorn and pumpkin with my copics. The treats are super easy to make using a TT Clear plastic boxes and some pretty paper. I finished off the tag with some Orange Truffle Trendy Twine

Die Cuttin Divas - Think Pink

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge. This week we are thinking pink! Come share your projects with us. I'm so proud to say that my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor, 30 years! It's amazing, she's had other little things turn up now and then but the "C" word has stayed away :) I put together a card using words that are inspiring to me. I created it in a typography format and printed it on white cardstock.

I put a piece of vellum over the word art to soften it just a bit. I used my stitched rectangle dies from Lil Inker Designs as a mat for the card.

I then cut the cancer ribbon using my cricut and tied it with some jute.

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the DT and join us for the challenge! We would love to have you.

Digital Delights by Louby Lou - $5 gift card

Are you ready for Halloween? Do you hand out treats of all sorts? I sure do, I take full advantage of this fun day! I give all the neighborhood kids special treats, all my son's teachers fun goodies, all the kids in his classroom get a homemade treat, and now I made these fun treats for my local coffee shop :) I got the idea from my blogger buddy Sherrie  she gave some treats to some of the college kids that worked at the coffee shop in town and I thought it was such a GREAT idea! She's so sweet and gracious and one of the MOST talented crafters I know :) 

So here are my fun treats...

I used the fry box from "Tags bags boxes and more 2" Pretty simple to put together. I used some fun papers that could be a little masculine as the treats are for young 20's and two boys. They are always so sweet to me and even though I don't go every day they still manage to remember my drink. It's pretty neat! 

I filled the boxes with some chocolate candy and tied them off with some Midnight Trendy Twine and an AWESOME sentiment from the newest set Ghostly Greetings I masked off the other words in the sentiment and just used Scary.

Hope you all have a terrific week and get to enjoy some crafty time :)

October 31st Spooky Card

Hi There!

Okay so it's not really Oct. 31st like my title says but it sure is coming fast. We usually have costumes made or at least ordered but we are so behind this year. My 10 year old decided on "Buddy the elf" isn't that funny? If you haven't seen the movie, it's a pretty silly movie but kids like it.
Today, I created a spooky Halloween card and I just LOVE how it turned out! I have been wanting to play in some challenges and linky parties but just have not had the time. 

I started with some very old Halloween paper (I think DCWV) and used a circle die. I cut an additional circle die in yellow and inked it up and placed it in the center.  Next I used MCT cartoon cloud dies and cut them in grey and inked them up too. 

I added some fun little bats from the Wicked-Fun-Dies-set and stamped a spooky sentiment.

I wish I had more of this paper to create another card :( my new goal is to use my paper that I have been saving forever.... I know you save paper right??? you know because someday you'll need it... or maybe you just LOVE it... or maybe you buy like 3 or 4 paper pads because you NEED to have extra... Wait was this just a confession? Noooo, I'm not talking about me.... I'm talking about my friend, yeah that's it... my friend - HAHAHA

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Pile it on challenge - Use 2 or More Die Cuts
Kitty Bee Designs - Dies and/or Punches
My Creative Time - Color Inpiration

Simply create too -Halloween OR use lots of Orange
Pumpkin spice blog - Orange

Craftin Desert Divas - Free Broom Rides

Hi CDD Fans!

I'm over at the CDD blog sharing a card from one of the AWESOME CDD Halloween sets Wonderfully Wicked. The DT is creating some awesome projects with the newest sets, be sure to stop by the blog and check out all the FUN! In case you missed my Blog Hop project you can go HERE and my sneak peek project is HERE.

I created a cute little witch card, perfect for a little girl - Cute, not spooky :)

I used the witch cut from Cricut Cartridge Create a Friend. I glittered her up and added some fun Kraft Trendy Twine that I colored too.

The sentiment is from the Wonderfully Wicked which has the best images and sentiments.

I machine stitched the sides and added some brads and perlers. Colored her hair with copics and of course added the sweet Peachy Face.

I hope you all had a chance to see the new release and visit the DT, all the stamps are in the shop now and can be viewed under the NEW RELEASE tab.

I used purple orange and a tiny bit of brown (oh and maybe just a dab of black and white for the face...shhh don't tell :)
