CottageCutz Haunted House Gift Container

 "Boo to You"!  Hello everyone and welcome to another CottageCutz project.  You know that I just adore these dies.  They are so fun to work with.  The Halloween collection is outstanding.  This week I worked with the "Gothic Gate". 

 On one of my trips to the "Dollar Tree" I had seen a Halloween Haunted House Box that I thought would be perfect for this project so I picked it up.  I used some K & Company paper to cover the box and then die cut the Gothic Gate four times and applied around the four sides of the box.  I used card stock in Halloween colors to paper piece the design.  I did apply a little black distress ink to the skeleton head.

 I decorated the roof with a Martha Stewart Iron Gate Border Punch and also around the edge of the box top with Drippy Goo.  The Ghosts and Bats were a Recollection sticker pack and the Boo Sign with the Squiggly Eyes are K & Company.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed your visit. 

Heartfelt Creations Delicate Aster Card

 Greetings and welcome to another Heartfelt Creations Delicate Aster Reveal.  For my project this week I chose a card that I was inspired by on "Pinterest".  It is in Russian so I just winged it as far as the scoring.  And I am so excited that I finally got my "Martha Stewart" scoreboard that has been on my wish list for ever!!!  I love it-it has score lines every 1/8" unlike the Scorepal I had.  It's has a triangle and a nice scoring tool.  I've been giving it a work out and I love it!

 Please be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog for all the details on how this card was created and to see all the other design teams beautiful creations.   Thank you for stopping by today.  Hope your day is wonderful!

Delicate Aster Vase Card

 Welcome to another edition of Heartfelt Creation's Delicate Aster set.  Isn't this just gorgeous.  This is an image from their Delicate Aster Paper set that I cut to fit this card and dressed up with the Delicate Aster flowers.

 When I was creating this it seemed to me that it was begging for a little bit of whim and whimsy to add the feathers.  It just seems to soften the overall appeal of the image.

Here are the products I used to create this card.  Please be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog for the directions on how to re-create this.

CottageCutz Haunted House

Look at this Haunted House.  I have been wanting a really cool Haunted House for a long time.  I have had my eye on the PSX Haunted House forever but the price of that has been outrageous on the auction boards.  But along comes this CottageCutz die and I am in love-it's perfect.

 To make the Harvest Moon I die cut the second largest circle in the Spellbinders scalloped and circle sets.  I then distress inked with Rangers Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door.  The Ghost are from my stash of K & Company Die Cuts, the pumpkins are K & Company Stickers.  The spider corners, the bats, drippy goo, and the fence are Martha Stewart punches.  The "Boo" Sentiment is a Recollection sticker.

 The haunted house and all the black card stock was painted with glitter glue and black glitter was applied.  This is that very cool die from CottageCutz that I used for the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day!

Can you tell by my project how much I loved the stamps and the paper??? It's pretty apparent isn't it.  I can't tell you how much fun I had making this album and album holder.  I have become quite addicted to shopping the thrift stores in my area for unique objects to transform into new and useful things.  This window box is one of them.

Here is the album cover for my mini album.  It is made with envelopes and a chipboard cover and back.  I have been watching some videos on how to make albums with lots of embellishments and not have them end up looking like   V  ......lol    So I think I have it down and am good to go.

All the envelope have purple card stock inserts for pictures.  Plus there is a pocket on each of that side of the album that holds tags from the paper collection. 

I had so much fun coordination previous stamp releases with this paper.  Notice the birdhouse and the birds and butterflies. 

This picture shows you the envelope tags.  The flowers were so fun to make.  I used smooch glitz crystal on them for sparkle.  Would you believe I used a whole bottle plus a whole bottle of Crystal Stickles on this project...Yes I do love my bling!

This show you how I used some of the stamps that come in the set in the album

Hope you enjoyed viewing this project.  It took me about three weeks in-between my other Design Team Commitments to complete.  I enjoyed this so much and am finding myself wanting to take my art in a different direction.  I picked up something today that I am just itching to try.  Maybe next week it will be revealed-it depends if what I designed in my head really works out-that's the fun in creative inspiration!!!

Love and Marriage-Go Together Like a Horse & Carriage

Love and Marriage,
 Love and Marriage,
Go Together Like a Horse and Carriage
 This I tell ya brother,
You can't have one without the other!
 Isn't this horse and carriage yummy.  I see so many uses for this super terrific die-it's not just for Weddings.  I know you have a sweet little girl in your life that would love this on a Birthday card.   In my stash of stamps I have the perfect little princess to pair with this that you will see for sure one day on this blog.  

 

Just look at this Wedding border.  The images are amazing in it.  It coordinates perfectly with the beautiful Celebration Cake-I think it is just so pretty.  For my card I die cut the two dies and used some glitter glue and white glitter on them to make them sparkle.  The background is just a piece of recycled corrugated  card board distressed with some Picket Fence Crackle Paint and sprinkled with more glitter.  I used some tulle for the bow and a few pearls.  Here are the dies I used:

Hope you are having a great weekend.  Thanks for taking a look at my creation.  It's the first Sunday for the start of the football season here at our house.  Can't wait for the season to start.  Go Green Bay Packers!!!

Heartfelt Creations Pumpkin Harvest Altered Box

Hello friends and bloggers.  Today I have a project from the Classic Edition Collection for Heartfelt Creations.  It's a box that has 8 gift cards and envelopes inside.  What a fun gift idea!

I had so much fun creating this.  I purchased this box from Michael's and it was all of 80 cents or something.  I always go when they have those 20-25% off everything in the store coupons including sales items......can you tell I read those coupons....lol  I had it sitting on my desk for a while and thought I would make this to hold those really pretty tags that come with Heartfelt Creations Paper that matches this stamp set.  I painted the box with paint-let it dry then covered it with the paper.

The flowers were created to match the images in the paper collection.

This is the inside of the box with the little gift cards and envelopes I created.  Below are the products I used.  Be sure to check out the Heartfelt Creations Blog for the full directions with measurements on how I created this and to see the other design teams fabulous creations.

Heartfelt Creations File Folder Mini Album

.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  Welcome to my blog.  It's a Heartfelt Creations project today using their beautiful Frost Blanket Paper, Stamps, and Dies.  This is called a File Folder Mini Album.  They are very easy to make and I know you would have fun putting one together just like I did.  At the top you can see the mini album front.  I have inserted a picture that shows you how it opens to give you an idea all the little pockets you can create.

 

This is the back of the mini album open.  See how much fun it is.  I used stickles to trace around all the pretty images in the paper and added lots of Martha Stewart Snowflakes.  I made the snowflakes as pull tabs for all the tags.

This is the album front folded and ready to be sent in an envelope to a treasured love one filled with pictures of you and your family.  Notice the pretty tags that are from the Frosty Paper Collection.

This is a side that has the image from the Paper Collection as the Design.

This section has two of the stamp sets

The greenery is another stamp from the collection.  It's colored with copic markers and dabbed with paint, sprinkles with glitter and pearls added.  You can find the tutorial here at MyLilTreasureTrove.  This piece folds down to store pictures.  Here are the products use:
