Paper Pumpkin Try It "Jots & Thought" Kit

So after getting my first Paper Pumpkin kit, I decided to order the Try It kit called Jots & Thoughts.  This kit does not disappoint! It comes with two cute journals to decorate with adorable stick on butterflies and Summer Starfruit Baker's Twine.  I added the Rhinestone Jewels on myself.  I posted a video on YouTube, so if you want to watch me put it together it is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGSas_s2-cU

 

Also, here are a few other cards I made with the stamps from the kit.

Pedestal Cards for Teacher's Gifts

Paige's last day of preschool was on Thursday.  She was sad to leave her classmates and teachers behind!  I took my camera in when I dropped her off and took pictures of her with each teacher and brought back these cute pedestal cards later that afternoon.

I started out with one of my favorite new stamp sets from the Stampin'Up! Summer Mini catalog called Flower Fest!  It is such a happy and beautiful set ;)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

It's that time of year again... Craft Fair Season!!!

This year I had a booth at the OFallon Township High School Band Boosters Craft Fair.  I was so excited that I got into the show that I have been working like a dog... ha ha, I made dog treat tins with a little help from my 4 year old daughter, Paige. She lined up the bones in the tins for me. She is a great helper!

I used the D is for Dog stamp set on the Doggie Treat Tins.

 

On the reindeer poop bags I used the a retired Big Shot die for the antlers, and circle punches for eyes and noses, and the Top Note Die from the Big Shot for the head.

The Perfect Man bags are always a HOT item to give to your girlfriends who really need to find one!

One of my favorite items I made was the Candy Bar Wrappers. I used the Leaves #2 Die #113459 from the Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Textured Embossing folder #120175, the Falling Leaves stampset #115368, Hemp Twine #100982, the 3/4" Circle punch #119873 and the Designer Series paper is retired, that is how I save money making goodies at the Craft Fairs!

I made a variety of Matchbox Teabag Holders including Christmas, Congrats and Get Well.

 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of the goodies I had at the Craft Fair!  I am working on a few new things for another Craft Fair in two weeks! Have a great day!

From the Crypt Brayered Card and Spooky Candy Wrappers



From the Crypt Brayered Card and Spooky Candy Wrappers

I had alot of fun creating this brayered card! I started out with a 4 3/4" Square piece of Whisper White, punched out my circle and brayered over it (masking technique).  Next I stamped the trees in the background and masked then sponged the hills in.  I put this thru my Big Shot tucked in the new Spider web embossing folder and sanded the top of the embossed spider web, popping the white for the web. Next I stamped the spider from, From the Crypt stamp set, and went back and colored it in.

The Spooky Candy Wrappers were fun to play around with.  I had tried a few different things and this is what I came up with.  I started out with an 8 1/2 x 11" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock.  I cut it at 5 1/2" on the long side, giving me two pieces to run thru the Big Shot with the Candy Wrapper Bigz Die. After I ran them thru, I embossed one with the Perfect Polka Dot folder, the other with the Spider Web folder.  I scored the creases and rubbed the embossed parts with my Basic Black ink pad.  I assembled it and embellished one with a So Saffron Circle and Bitty Bat in Black, the other with the Spider from, From the Crypt and a Black circle behind it.
