Creepin’ it Real…

When it comes to Halloween, I’m not into scary and gore. (I’m too big of a chicken.)

I’m all about the C-A-N-D-Y!

I love Halloween Parades and seeing the little kids in their cute costumes.

I’m into “Halloween cute”.

The Trick or Treat Stamp Set and Die Set from Maker’s Movement is “Halloween Cute”.

Sweet little Halloween characters with just the right amount of attitude.

I made a couple extra of the Halloween cut outs to make a few treat boxes.

FYI…the Kraft Paper Window Boxes are from Clear Bags.

A Cherry Little Birthday Card

Who doesn’t love receiving a Cheery Little Birthday Card?

I know I do.

This week the Xyron Design Team is all about Lawn Fawn…

and I had a blast. I loved using their dies to make this fun card.

Here’s what I used: (*affiliate link)

When working with small dies, I like to run the paper through my Xyron 3″ Sticker Maker*.
Rub and peel the top cover off the paper.

Run the paper and die through your die cutter for the perfect little sticker.
Just the perfect amount of adhesive and so easy to use.

Look how cute this terra cotta pot turned out.
Ink the edges of the paper pieces with Vintage Photo Ink* for a realistic looking pot.

The card was so easy to put together using the Xyron Sticker Maker* for all my little pieces.

A really fun card to make.

A special thank you to Lawn Fawn for sending the dies and paper used on this project.

Day #3 of The Twinery & Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop

July 30, 2014April 20, 201511 Comments

Todays is Day #3 of The Twinery & Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop and my chance to join in.

I love Serendipity Stamps and using twine in my card making. This was a great chance to use both.

“Thanks” Card Directions:

Stamp flower images and leaves onto watercolor paper using black permanent ink.
Water color or color images using markers.
Cut around flowers and leaves.
Paint a thin coat of Diamond Stickles Glue over images for added sparkle.
I started my card by using a 2 1/2″ wide double-sided tape from Kool Tak on a 5″ piece of cardstock.
Closely lay strands of twine onto the super sticky tape to cover the entire piece of paper.
Cut out with a 4″ scalloped square die cut.
Apply die cut square onto cardstock layers.
Glue Flowers and leaves onto front of the card using a fabric glue. Embellish with adhesive pearls. Die cut “thanks” from blue cardstock and add to front of card.

Finished Card Size: 5″ x 5″.
