Just buggy, a cute Pin project!

Before I get to this project, I want to thank Mary for this blogger award:

I also got the same award from Vicki. Thank you so much ladies!

To accept this award I had to do a few things:

First I needed to thank the person who nominated me for this award and include a link to her blog, which I have already done above.

Then I need to list seven things about me that people might find interesting and then nominate seven Kreativ Bloggers, posting links to the seven blogs that I nominate, and then leave comments on all seven blogs letting them know I nominated them.

So, here are the seven (hopefully) interesting things about me:

1. I play violin.

2. I broke my leg because of my dog.

3. I love tomatoes.

4. My favorite color is mauve pink and green.

5. I love all paper crafting.

6. I love photography, but am lousy at it!

7. I really like spending time with my family!

My nominees in no particular order are:

Mary Dawn: The designer with the most!

Marisol: My little sis from a few rounds back of secret sisters, great stamping up girl!
Cambria; What cute projects to be found here!

Beatte: She has such great projects!

Chat: She is so creative, I love her blog!

Dawn: Great video tutorials!
Malisa’s: She has fun projects here as well as step by step instructions!

Now onto today’s project. This little bug is a Hampton Arts Studio stamp, I stamped him three times, twice on acetate (a transparency) and embossed with black embossing powder, and once onto green card stock. Also embossed.
***

Using crystal lacquer, I attached the card stock layer to the bugs body and layered everything on top. It is also the “glue” used to attach the google eyes.
****

The entire project took about 4 minutes to complete, you can do a bunch of them in a short amount of time. Now to think of a price point, since I would like to sell these.

***

Have a great evening, and think out side of the box and the card, make something 3 dimensional!

Stamp Happy!

In Shades of blue!

Hi my crafty friends!

****

Today’s project is very easy and straight forward.

***

I used an acrylic photo frame that measures 3 X 5″ purchased fro my local craft store, I layered the patterned paper inside. Then on top I placed an extra large prima flower which I used stickles to embellish then the sticky note is attached with red-line tape. It is simply finished with green dew drops and a pretty blue stitched ribbon.

*****

For the card, I followed a simple grid pattern to create what I feel is a really pretty card. Instead of my cherry blossoms being pink, I turned them blue. I simply used my regular water based ink markers to color directly onto the rubber. Then I used my spellbinders dies to cut out the two scallops. All of the edges are sponged with a Stamping up ballet blue ink. Of course it is also embellished with stickles! Don’t forget blog candy continues!

Have a wonderful day! Stamp Happy!

It’s a piece of pie! (Blog candy continues)

Hello Stampers!

Its a piece of Cherry pie with a cherry on top!

***

Don’t you just love this? I actually bought the pie die from this web sight, click here.

****

I also used the Sizzix Cupcake & Ice Cream die (38-0998) that is retired. If you own this die or would like some cup cakes and ice cream die cuts, they are free, just tell me colors or send materials and I’ll gladly cut them for FREE. Just pay for return shipping. Email information is on my side bar so just drop me a line if you are interested.

What do you guys think about a ‘kit’ club. Basically I would chose one to three projects and feature them on the blog. I all you would need to do is send me your mailing information and I would send you off a kit. The kits will not be exact duplicates of what I show on the blog just due to supply limitations. If you need more than just one kit for doing goodies for an event, just let me know and I’ll quote you a price and customize to your needs. Donations will be appreciated but not necessary. Lets face it it will only cost a couple of postage stamps. Please leave feedback for this idea via the comment section and email.

*****

Edit! After the already over whelming feedback and emails, I will offer this as my first kit of the month, if you want the supplies to make this for yourself, send me a self addressed stamped envelope, email me for the address! Sorry for the quality of the video, #1 Chad (aka camera guy) wasn’t in the mood to shoot it and #2 I forgot to turn on my “studio” lights. I hope you get the idea anyway. I promice the next one will be better.

I finally heard from my Airman Craig today. Several factors, mainly he is a bit un-organized and couldn’t find his cell phone charger. He apparently finally found it after tidying up his area. I’m thinking he needs to stay active duty for a while and remember the basics from basic training!

*****

One of these boxes filled with goodies is now part of blog candy. It will be similar to the one pictured above. So that is one pie box and $25.00 blog candy at current.

I hope every one is enjoying a beautiful day. Stamp Happy!

Patriotic Altered Clip board — don’t forget about blog candy!

Hello my crafty fun friends!

What a great few days! Sunday and today I was able to get some house work and laundry finished up. Hey, I had to get my chores done so I could grab some fun stamping time.

****

The image on the altered clipboard is from House Mouse. I used my copic markers to color the image. The clipboard was purchased from my local craft store. I used patriotic themed scrapbook paper. Before applying the paper, I used Red acrylic paint to paint the clipboard then once it was dry used a home made decoupage medium to apply the paper. I carefully removed bubbles using a bone folder.

*****

Don’t forget $25.00 is the first item of blog candy this month, leave your comments on my blog any where you would like. I will certainly be adding to this pot as we play along!

*****

I’ve applied to be come a design team member for DZ doodles, if you would like to view their call, please click here. You can also visit Kim’s blog by clicking here.

My Airman, Craig will be the recipient of the altered clip board, he has requested a new ‘goody‘ box from mom. I guess it is a good thing he enjoys getting stamped cards and goody. I’ve almost finished his box. Hopefully everything will be totally dry and ready to mail tomorrow.

Have a great night and Stamp Happy my friends!
