Yay! It is finally here, our September release over at My Time Made Easy. You know, just when you think the designs can't get any better, look out!
This is the new Apothecary jar template that I made into a sweets jar for nice yummy Halloween treats.
I used the Hauntingly Halloween papers along with the digital stamps and cut file that match this set of papers...way too fun! I love the background words.
The top is decorated with some homemade ribbon and lace with a little bow on top. I really would love a big spider or bat on top, but I didn't have those items with me, and I am out of town right now.
There are so many things you can do with the sets that were released this month. I am looking forward to making quite a few of these up for Christmas. I will post them when I get them finished. Thank you so much for stopping by and be sure to see what everybody else came up with on the team. Have a fantastic Labor Day!!!
Hey, there everyone! Oh, my gosh, if this isn't the most precious of designs, truly. It is preview time again at My Time Made Easy, and all I can say is "Wow"!!
Isn't this adorable?! The bottom is filled with yummy M&Ms, my fav! I didn't put anything in the top, but it is pretty roomy and could be filled with so many good things. Here is a look at the bottom of the template. Too precious!
For the flower on top I used some lace ribbon and an acrylic flower and to top it off, a little metal butterfly. You just lift off the top to get access to the insides.
I hope you enjoyed this post and please stop by the other teamies to see what they came up with. It is sure to please.
Oh, my gosh, did I have fun with this pattern. It seems everything nowadays is hexagon shaped. The Cutting Cafe has a wonderful set of hexagon patterns that I am just jumping with joy to share with you.
Isn't this just the cutest? I am always looking for a good idea for get well cards and sympathy cards. I designed this one for a get well card, but I may have to make up one for sympathy as well. The template is called The Hexagon Shaped card set.
I used a couple callalilly flowers for the center and some seam binding for the bow. I used pop dots for the center frame...should have probably used thicker ones to make it stand out more.
So that is my card for the week. Just for fun, I want to show you a card that I started out with, and made a little booboo on. Soooo I tried to fix it and this is what I came up with.
So as you can see, this one will just have to be repurposed for something... not quite sure what yet. My suggestion, make sure your stamp is right side up before you stamp. LOL!
Thank you so much for stopping by and please go to the inspiration post at The Cutting Cafe to see all the ideas that are in store for you.
Hi, everyone! I have so missed posting and designing this last month. I'm sorry I have been gone so long, but I had a minor medical emergency...in and out of the hospital, doctor's appointments, etc. But that is under control now, hopefully, and I am back in full swing ready to go.
So with that, it is inspiration time over at the Cutting Cafe, and what an appropriate design we were tasked with...Apple Treat Box set and All About School stamp set. Love these!
Please forgive my photograph. I am trying to get back into the groove again and was so excited to make this little baby, that I forgot to take the pictures last night. So these pics are from my Droid phone on my desk! This is the Apple Treat Box set that is so adorable.
Here is a closer look. I used the All About School digital stamp set for the saying. I made layers of the apple from the template, added a little washi tape, some bling and it is good to go.
Isn't this just the cutest little set for teachers. This one is going to my daughter's second grade teacher, Mrs. Stephenson.
Hope you all enjoyed and please check out The Cutting Cafe's website for more inspiration today.
Oh, my goodness is it HOT outside! It is time for some Cutting Cafe inspiration.
This is the cutest little set. I made this note card for a friend of mine. We are going to the beach next weekend and thought this would be fun! I used the new Bow Tie and Ribbon Set...way too cute!
The kite and stamp is from the Up In the Sky Wishes set. Love that. It is so versatile. And I thought the paper was great for the occasion. It is from the Lime Twist Life of the Party paper pack.
I hope you are all staying cool. Please stop by The Cutting Cafe to soak up a little inspiration and I will see you next time!
Hello everyone! I am here today with a project for the Cutting Cafe. We are supposed to use the Flip Flop Card set. There are several different templates and stamps...way too cute!
I used the Flip Flop card and cut it by hand because I got a virus in my laptop and am having it repaired...grrrr!
I used my new pull bow ribbon I got at the LA Garment District for the top of the thong part and some liquid pearls for an added touch!
Thank you so much for stopping by and please go to the Cutting Cafe website so you can see what really cool stuff they have to design with.
I am so proud of myself. I actually did what I said I was going to do in the time frame I said I was going to do it in. I am such a procrastinator most of the time, but I must be turning a new leaf.
So here is part 2 of the videos I promised.
And the following is part 3 of the videos.
I hope you guys enjoy these videos as much as I did making them. I will probably be going back in a couple of months, and I will let everyone know when I go, so if you have any requests, you can let me know.
On a sort of similar note, I am in the process of getting my Etsy shop up and running. There are a lot of items that I picked up that I am never going to be able to use all of, so I am going to be listing some of it. So please check back on my blog for that. It will probably take me a couple of weeks to get that finalized.
Thank you so much for stopping by and please leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of them. Please be kind, but I do take constructive criticism pretty well, and I am always willing to listen, so that I can learn!
Okay, I have finally uploaded a video to YouTube. You are totally going to laugh at me, but it literally took me all day to finally get a 15 min. video edited and uploaded, and trust me, there wasn't much editing involved. Wow! Am I glad that is done.
With that being said, this is only part 1 and I have part 2 and 3 to edit and upload...yeah... you will probably see that a year from now. I am just kidding. I have to get them uploaded by Monday, cuz I am starting a death penalty at work next week and it is supposed to go through until end of October. That means daily transcripts for me...oh, and no life and very little scrapping, but you know I will be fitting it in somewhere, because that is my stress relief.
Anyway, enough of that. For my birthday, I went to the Los Angeles Garment District, the textile part of it. Oh my goodness, did I have the time of my life. I couldn't keep it to myself, so I have made three...yes, three...videos to show everything I got. Way to much fun and soooo overwhelming.
So hopefully, if you click on the play button above, it will take you to my YouTube channel and you can play it. I am not used to posting videos, I am just a voyeur and enjoy watching other people's.
But I have to say I am quite the talker...I guess it's an occupational hazard. I never get to talk at work, cuz I am always writing what everyone else says, so by the time I get home, my poor daughter!
If any of you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will try to answer it the best I can. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy it!
Happy 4th of July, everyone! This is the best time of the year for me, because it is my birthday. Ever since I was a little girl, I used to think the world was celebrating my birthday. Even though it wasn't true, it was still fun to think it. Lauren asked us to create something using red, white and blue for our project, and I sort of changed it a little. I decided to use the Americana colors. So here it is.
I put a little pocket together with a card. I used a zigzag stitch around the sides and bottom decorated the front with all kinds of yummy stuff.
Don't they make a cute set? I love the Americana theme.
The banners on the front of the card are using the new cut file Birthday Banners. I also have the stars and label from the new cut file Magical Birthday Wishes.
Wow, have I ever had some computer issues. I couldn't get my post loaded yesterday...what a bummer. So today I will be showing you both my release day and post release day projects. I guess if I had to miss one at least you get two in a row, right?! So without further delay, this is my Cuppy-Cake project.
Pink and black, my very favorite colors. This template goes together very easy. Super fast and too cute! I used the Wistful Musical Magic paper pack.
I took the pink paper from the pack and added the double sided tape, the two-inch size and burnished it with very fine clear glitter to give it that shine.
The roses on top I put together with a little prima rose colored to match and some fabric trim roses. Love that shabby look.
Here is the ade to match. I wanted to keep it a little cleaner than I normally do, so that you could see the background paper, added a little glitz and bling and, of course, the Magical Wishes stamp set that is in our release. Love them!
And a closeup of the glitter paper. I really love the texture it gives.
So that is it for my release day project. The following project is my post release project which uses the Lil Cupcake template.
This is great for a party favor or just a little something that needs a great package. I used the new Blue Birthday paper pack.
I wrapped a little PTI ribbon around the bottom and embossed the top piece with some silver glitter embossing powder.
I used my Copic markers to color in the bunny and free cut him from the Magical Wishes stamp set. I also cut out a few of the balloons from the paper and used some dimensional adhesive to make them pop.
Wasn't this month a fun release? I was so excited to make all the templates especially with the birthday theme.
On the 4th I will be back to show you my year in review project...bet you can't guess it will be red, white and blue! I am all geared up cuz the 3rd is my birthday, and I am going to the LA Garment District in the textile area to do some shopping! Can't wait to show you all what I pick up.
Thank you so much for stopping by and please visit the other teamies to see what they have in store for you!
