MIUCB #82: You Got This

Hello Crafty Friends :o) 

This is my post for Mix It Up , this month's optional challenge is Use Die Cuts. Make sure to visit the sister blogs for more inspiration. 

Like many of you, I have stamps and die-cuts that were purchased and never used.  Time to break them out of the hoarder box and use them.  The is a die cut set from TLC Designs called Aztec Sunshine Circle. The sets make it easy to create a simple card fast. 

Here is the inside.

stamps: Cas-ual Fridays: calm & gentle (sentiment)

paper: Brazill: wild pansy, scraps

die-cuts: TLC Designs: Aztec Sunshine Circle

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #71: Playing With Food

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)   Time for another challenge at MIUCB, this challenge we want you to play with your veggies.  Okay, so when I wrote down the challenge in my calendar, I put play with food.  I do eat veggies and love them, but I did this challenge with pasta. Playing with your Veggies is just an option to join the challenge, we will accept all creations.

Here is the pasta design.  I tried two different types, but the penne pasta did much better than the rotini.  Maybe if I used paint instead of inks, I might have had a better outcome with the rotini. Playing some more might be an option for the future.

Wanted to make sure the design was seen, so keep the design simple.  

Here is the inside, which I kept very light in order to stamp or write a message over the design.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Love to Craft Challenge Blog #50: Little Latte

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)   Here's my post for Love to Craft Challenge Blog, where every month is Anything Goes.   We just want to see what you are crafting up.

This is a cute little gift box from Simply Crafty SVGs and it's FREE: Chocolate Square Box.  My youngest son loves the little square chocolate that fits in these boxes ... they were all gone before photo shoot.  They just disappeared.  

The heart and Latte are chipboard from Cas-ual Fridays.  I painted with gesso as a primer, inked with embossing ink and used Stampendous embossing powder.  The powder had white, pink and gold in it, which seemed fitting for the background paper.

die cuts: Simply Crafty: Chocolate Square Box

embellishements: Cas-ual Fridays: coffee chipboard, Stampendous: fran-tage embossing powder, pearls

Love to Craft Challenge Blog #44: Cosmetics Bags

Hello crafty friends :o)  New month ... New inspiration.  All the sister blogs post on the first of the month.  I hope you enjoy all the beautiful projects created.

This is my post for LTCCB

I have a friend that has 3 daughters, since I have all boys, I adopted her daughters for girlie things.  For Christmas I made each girl a cosmetic bags ... each with their own personality.

Who doesn't love this stamp from CAS-ual Fridays: WTF2 

Being that they are originally from New York ... you learn their language.

I stamped her favorite quote inside the bag.

The oldest daughter has survived a brain tumor.  So I used positive strong women stamps from Unity Stamps to cover her bag.

The youngest daughter, who is very book nerdy, they tease her about being the "naughty" sister.  I've had this stamps from Unity for awhile and thought they were perfect for her bag.  I also decided to grunge it up and have some fun.

Each sister got a unique bag of their own, fitting of their personality :o)
