Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Time to Play

Welcome to another Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Moms Stamps.  Our theme for this challenge is "Time to Play".  This challenge gave me the opportunity to create a masculine project for a change.  I cut the game controller from the Wrap It Up cartridge and the tag from the Crash! Boom! Pow! digital cartridge.  I found this fun paper in my stash which was perfect for my card.  The game controller and tag were popped up on foam dots for dimension.

A few enamel dots were adhered to the game controller.  Some Totally Black Trendy Twine was added for the cord of the controller.  The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Game Day stamp set.

 Please stop by Scrappy Moms Stamps to check out all of the design team projects and to link up your "Game/Playing" themed project to win a stamp set of your choice.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Craftin Desert Diva's Design Day

Hello, today is my design day over at Craftin Desert Diva's and I have a fun project to share using the newly released Frightfully Cute stamp set.  This stamp set is perfect for those Halloween themed projects.

I cut the container using the Wrap It Up cartridge and then used punches for the Jack-O-Lantern, the web, the fence and the 2 small pumpkins.  The tombstones and tiny bat are embellishments from my stash.  I added a bat brad and a clothespin with a button to hold my tag in place.  The tag was stamped with a sentiment from the Frightfully Cute stamp set.  Some ribbon and Trick or Treat Trendy Twine was added as a finishing touch.

Here's a closer look at the entire stamp set, you can purchase the set here along with the rest of the September release.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Scrappy Moms Stamps Guest Designer

Hello, I have another fun project to share using the newly released Scrappy Moms Stamps!  I wanted to get a jump start on my Halloween projects so I created a treat box using the "Filled with Love" stamp set.

The witch treat box was cut from the Wrap It Up cartridge.  I filled the treat box with orange colored gum balls.

I layered the witch cut out with black glittered card stock, the pop of sparkle was just perfect for this project.  Clear acetate was adhered to the back side of the cut out for a finished look.

I used a Fiskars punch for the tag and stamped the sentiment from the "Filled with Love" stamp set.  The tag was inked on the edges for added dimension.  A tiny bit of Orange Licorice Trendy Twine was used to tie the tag to the treat box.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check back tomorrow for another project for my Scrappy Moms Stamps guest designer spot!

Touchdown

Today I am over at the Craftin Desert Diva's blog and I have a single page 12x12 layout to share created using the July stamp release.  I used the Wrap It Up cartridge for the Football and the All Sports cartridge for the title.

The football was embossed with the Tiny Bubbles Cuttlebug embossing folder.  Some Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine was added to the football and photo mat.  I used the Craftin Desert Diva's All Star Sports stamp set for the "touchdown" sentiment.

Stop by the shop to check out this stamp set and the rest of the July stamp release.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Trendy Twine Design Day

Today is my design day over at Trendy Twine and this month we are showcasing the Celebration twine. This cute bakers twine is a unique twist of red, yellow, black and white, such a fun and festive color combination.  My project was inspired by the fun new challenge we have going on this month. For my project, I created a gift set for one of my coworkers birthdays.

The adorable candy tube is from Annie's Paper Boutique and is perfect for some yummy treats.  For my card, I used the twine to outline the center balloon on my card.  I also used it for the balloon strings and added a bow.  A bit of twine was also used on the small tag on the candy tube.  My card was finished off with some scattered sequins and a sentiment from the Craftin Desert Diva's Happy Celebrations stamp set.

Remember to check out the store for lots of crafty goodies including some new twine colors!  Also, Trendy Twine has a DT call going on, all of the details are here.

Halloween Tag

This oversized tag was cut at 6.0 inches from the Wrap It Up Cartridge.  The fence cut was part of the tag so I added a strip of grass using the Fiskars Grass border punch.  The pumpkin is an embossed sticker.  The tag is embellished with Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.

 

The flag with the skull and cross bones was stamped from My Creative Time All Around Accessories stamp set.  I embellished my tag with a large brad added to a twine bow and some tulle.  The purple "Halloween" tag was in my stash so I added it to the top of the fence.

Treat Box and Card

I created this treat box and card gift set to package up some treats for a friend of mine who is recovering from an injury.  I thought some bright colors were in order to cheer her up.  The box and card were both created with the Wrap It Up cartridge.

I used some acetate to cover the opening on two sides of the box so I could hide some treats in there without worrying about them falling out.

I embellished the box with some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine by outlining all of the lollipops.  I also added a couple of twine bows to my project and finished off the tag with some twine.

The tag and card were both faux stitched with my white gel pen.  I then added some twine stitching to my card as a finishing touch.

Built to Play Layout

Today I'm participating in Cricut Craft Rooms Scrapbook Saturday event to showcase one of my layouts.  This is a layout that I created using the Wrap It Up, Boys Will Be Boys and B is for Boy cartridges.

The title for the layout was cut from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge at 2.5 inches.  I have seen this title used on several other layouts so I admit that I "scraplifted" the title, however, at this time I don't recall which designers used it so I am not able to give them credit. 

The blue robot was cut from B is for Boy Lite cartridge at 6.0 inches.  I added a metal button to his tummy to add some hardware to him.

The green robot was cut from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge at 5.5 inches.

The last robot was cut from the Wrap It Up cartridge at 5.5 inches.  I used some metal brads to also add some hardware to him.

I added a lot of faux stitching to this layout with a white gel pen.  My intent was to make the die cuts stand out from the multiple patterns used in this layout.  Each of the robots are also popped up on foam dots so they don't blend into the background.  The arrows throughout the layout were cut from the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge at 1.5 inches.
