Triple Stamp Card Blog Hop

Welcome  to the 

Triple Stamp Card Blog Hop

 

 

Ashley over at Blog Hop Princess has put 

together a crafty group of stampers

to inspire you with their cards!

I have even heard rumor that there is "blog candy"

around for our hoppers!

 

If you came from Suzanne's blog

you are right in line.  If you just started I encourage you to start here at the beginning.

  Now at this time I feel that I should post a disclosure saying that I am not much of a stamper.  I own stamps and ink.  I just don't do it very often.  So I signed up for this hop to push myself a little out of my comfort zone.  And it DID!!!

 

 

The lighting wasn't very good and neither 

was the photographer.  

You can barely see the stamping....

I promise it is there.

 

 

I hope you can see it better here!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Please stop by all of the talented stampers blogs and see what they came up for you.  Don't forget to look for the blog candy!

The next stop is 

Ashley W.

Talk to you later... 

Until then...Be safe and Create!

Hello!  How is everyone?  

I am so honored and excited to be a

 Guest Designer at Exploring Cricut!

If you haven't had a chance to check out their

wonderful blog make sure to get over there and 

let them know that Janea sent you!

Today I am posting my Pumpkin Patch!

Really it is just a set of Thanksgiving cards.

   

Okay, I used almost all of my 

favorite things for these.   

1. Cricut - Pumpkin is on Create a Critter

Leaves are on Paperdolls for Everyday

Tag is on TBB&M (the original)   

2. Cuttlebug and folder - Victoria

3. Bo Bunny - Burnt Orange Double Dot

4. Bazzill Card Stock - Parakeet 

5. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo. I stamped the leaves and distressed everything.

There you have it.  Add a button, felt ribbon and some raffia and you are done.  

What do you think?  I bet you never thought you could make this type of card from those cartridges!   I challenge you all to get out  one of your carts that you haven't used in a while and find a cut that you would dream is on it.  

Then of course use it!  And let me know I will stop by your blog and take a look!

Thanks for stopping by today!

FCCB #135 Seeing Spots

Don't you just love Polka Dots??? I do!  

They make me happy.

And I like to be happy, so much better 

than the other emotions.

This week's challenge over on the 

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog   

is to create a project using polka dots and of course at least one cricut cut.

So here is what I came up with while cropping with some of my friends:

  

 I sure wish you could tell that the red behind the snowflake is extra fine red glitter. 

Well, I guess you will have to trust me 

that it is. I cut this with the 

Winter Woodland cartridge

with the card feature. I don't know how  

many of you ever use this feature, but if 

you aren't you are missing out.

I also used packaging tape to put the glitter on.

Super easy and great look.  I will tell you that you have to use the extra fine glitter.  Chunky or coarse glitter will not have the same effect.  It leaves wholes or open spots on the tape.

This was cut as 5 1/4 card. Making it easier 

to find or make envelopes!    

Please remember to head  over to FCCB and link up your polka dot projects!  I want to see them!

   Also, check out the rest of the DT  and all of their wonderful inspiration!

Talk to you later... 

Until then...Be safe and Create!

So without further ado, here is what I

This Altered Book was so much fun!!

I used a few new products for the first 

time and I sure liked them.  

Stampendoushas a new embossing powder 

called Frantáge.  

It is hard to see in photos, but it has 

the most wonderful 

texture and color.   

I would describe it as a "distressed"

look.  Trust me it is fabulous!

FCCB #134 BOO SPECTACULAR

Happy Monday!  

Why does Monday always get here so fast?

One good thing about Monday is that we have a new challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!

This week we are featuring Halloween 

projects with a cricut cut.

Here is my project:

 I used cardstock and Tim Holtz Distress 

Ink for this card.  

The card base was cut from 

3 Birds - Life's a Party and the 

tombstone was from October 31.

See the detail on the tombstone?  Don't be 

afraid to cut detail with your cricut. 

 As long as all of your settings are correct

 it should work just fine.

We want to see your spooky projects, so head on over to FCCB and link them up! 

While you are there check out the rest of the design team for inspiration and leave 

them some spooky love!

Talk to you later... 

Until then...Be safe and Create!

I took a little different route with my animal print.  One of my friends asked if I would make invitations for her daughter's birthday.

She wanted them to be pink and grey.  I found this leopard print and thought it would be perfect.

I cut the card base with Art Philosophy and the letters and number from Mickey Font.
