Christmas Recycled

Hi all,

Today is a sad sad day, today I am announcing my last post for One Stitch At A Time. I have been with the DT for 4 yrs, I think. I just want to say how much I am going to miss them and want to Thank Stitchy and Jane and my teamies for all the years of fun, support and encouragement. They definitely have pushed me to try new things and broaden into other areas of crafting/art that I would have not tried. Being on a DT for that long it's like family. You get to know each other and make friendships that are treasured for a long time. I will miss being a part of such a fabulous team.

For this New Challenge at One Stitch At A Time I created a couple of Christmas items, a card and matchbox gift box. The New One Stitch At A Time Challenge theme - Anything Goes with Recycling. 

For this card I used PBD Christmas Flakes 3. I just love the beautiful Non-Traditional colors of 

this set. So soft and pretty, yet it still has a Christmas feel to it. This paper set is digital paper but

it is just gorgeous. For the Recycling portion of the challenge I used some Prima gems 

that I had placed on a photo frame a while back. I pulled them off and then glued them down

around my beautiful Christmas bulb image. And I placed the remaining ones inside the 

the little box I created with this beautiful paper. 

Here is close up of the Christmas card I created. I used the gems I recycled from a photo frame.

I added stickels to the Christmas bulbs and Christmas trees. One of the digital papers has these

pretty little holly leaves with pink berries so I fussy cut those out and adhered them to the card.

Another design paper in this set has the words Merry Christmas which I cut out with one of my 

label dies and popped up to make it look 3D. I just love how this card turned out so pretty. 

 Here is a close of the matchbox Christmas gift box I created. For the top of the box I used

the digital paper that had Merry Christmas and the bottom of the box  I used the blue digital 

design. I created a bow from the holly paper and fussy cut out the holly and adhered in the 

middle of bow and used a pink pearl for the centers of both of the holly's.

 Here is the inside of the matchbox and I covered the bottom with another 

one of the digital papers, and along the sides I placed gems.

A Little Happy Witch

Hello all,

Today at One Stitch At A Time we are having a new challenge - Anything Goes with Halloween Colours. Yep, you heard right, Halloween Colours. You can upload any project as long as it has Halloween Colours.
For this challenge I used KT Trick or Treat by IKEsART found at Stitchybear Stamps Digi Outlet.
So here is my POP-UP Card

For the front of the card I used I used some papers from my stash

and used Blue Ferns Chipboard webs and black cat. I used BoBunny Black

Gesso for the spider web and black cat. 

When you lift up the card the little image KT trick or treat pops up with the 

pumpkin and little ghost by her side. 

For my background I used some Halloween design papers in my 

stash and fussy cut some bats and cut out Happy Halloween 

from my cricut. 

My little witch image she I used my copics and. I thought some 

bright orange and yellow hair would be fun. I printed the image on a sheet of 

Authentique's Mysterious design paper, fussy cut her little dress

 and colored purple with my copics.

Your Invited For Cake

Hi everyone!

Well today I have a new challenge for you all at One Stitch At A Time Challenge 271 Anything Goes with A Special Day. Come over to join us with all your cards showing how you create a card or project celebrating A Special Day.

For this wonderful challenge I used a digital stamp from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet Store Wonderland Cake designed by CraftyGirl Creations. 

When I saw this stamp I just knew what paper I wanted to use with this stamp Graphic 45 - Hallowe'en in Wonderland Collection, I really think it goes perfectly. 

I decided to do something a little different something a little off from my 

usual using fun colors with my copic markers.  

 Here is a closer look of the stamp and the background of the Tag. I used some fun

items to create my background Tim Holtz distressed paints and inks, BoBunny black gesso

with TH stencil Harlequin and BoBunny Grape Glitter paste. 

Here is a close up of the stamp. 

Applied Glossy Accents to nose and clock. I also used black liquid 

pearls applied around the cake and the gold liquid pearls are applied

 to the chain that links to the clock. 

Our Sponsor is StitchyBear Digit Outlet with a

$10 coupon to use at the store

Tiger Card

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday.

Today I am sharing a really cool card I created with a digital paper collection and stamp from StitchyBear Digital Stamp Outlet. This collection was created by Coosty Creations - Tiger Digital Stamp Pack. I really like it what a fabulous collection to create masculine cards and so with that being said One Stitch At A Time New Challenge 269 - Anything Goes with Men.
I would like to invite you all to join us for this fun challenge. Create anything masculine, this gives you a chance to win a $10 gift card to the StitchyBear Digi Outlet Store to shop for some awesome digital stamps or Paper collections with stamps.

Here is my card -

This paper collection comes with 4 digital papers and a digital stamp. 

I printed out all the paper designs on my neenha cardstock. I used one of the

paper designs for my base. I used 2 designs in the front as my card, cut into 

1 1/2 inch strips. I used regulat black cardstock for my mats. 

In this photo you can see a close up of that beautiful tiger. Doesn't he just look

majestic. I really like the way he is just sitting there, his face is just beautiful. 

This is the stamp, instead of coloring the stamp I printed him out on one of the

design papers and matted on the black cardstock. I used prima crystal gems I had

 in my stash, which I think added a nice touch. I also used a Graphic 45 chipboard Safari 

with black seam binding.

This is the inside of the card. I mated the design paper on the black card

stock again. This design paper has this beautiful tiger already on the paper 

so you don't have to print on the paper. 

I thought this would be a great piece for the inside of the card.

Back to School Treat Bag

Hey Y'all,

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Today we are starting a new challenge at One Stitch At A Time - Anything Goes with Boxes and Bags. I invite you over to join in this fun challenge. You gotta make a box or bag and I would love to see your fabulous creations.

For this challenge I created a fun back to school treat bag using an image for the StitchyBear Digi Outlet Shop made by BBKakes - School 3 Frame. I thought it would be prefect for a back to school gift for a teacher. I filled the bag with little coffee candies, but I think chocolate would work too. lol

Hope you all like this and are inspired to create your own little bag for a back to school gift for a teach or two.

For this bag I used School 3 Frame by BBKakes.

I used Graphic 45 - An ABC Primer paper collection

I thought it would be perfect with the school image from 

the StitchyBear Digi Outlet Shop.  I used a couple of chipboard items

from the ABC Primer set. 

Here is a close up of the image I colored with

TH distressed markers. I used my copic markers

on the little apple. 

Supplies:

Stamp:  StitchyBear Digi Outlet Shop made by BBKakes - School 3 Frame.

Ink: TH markers and distress inks tea dye

Paper: Graphic 45 An ABC Primer

Accessores: acetate used for window in box; seam binding, red twine, and chipboard pieces; used a boarder punch from MS.

 then placed them around my card with pop dots. Cute out a 

Happy Birthday sentiment with my Cricut and 

placed on the front of the card.

What's Glowing In The Dark??

Hi all,

I hope you all are doing well this weekend. Gosh, it's been a busy month .... my oldest is getting married in a week, and so I've had approx. 3 weeks to plan it all. Oh, it's been a wild ride these last few months. Got all the decor for the gazebo did I mention it's an outside wedding. It's very small so not many people attending but enough to have a reception and all. I will be posting some things later. I have so much to share with you all I can't post it all right now. Plus I'm in the process of making some videos. (ssshhhh)
