Buttercup and Stick Pin Mania — fun pics!!

YPP Stick to it Swap for August

This adorable tag was made using my Gingerbread box die from sizzix. The die can be purchased (on clearance) at their web site.

I used a glow in the dark paint to accent the bats eyes, wings and the ghost at the top of the tag. I will take more pictures when every thing is dry, as I have not finished up the back of these yet.

The ghost in the window and the bats where both cut out using my big shot machine and shrinky dink plastic. I used my copic marker 110 to color the shrink plastic on the rough side of the plastic. Using a craft mat, I shrank down the piece, then kept heating the piece until it was clear. This also lightened up the color to more of a brown.

When working with a heat gun please use reasonable caution. For more information and to join a fun group of people, please visit the Your Paper pantry site!

Altered bead box for MSC — lots of pictures!

Altered Bead Box

for My Scrap Room

Since I have really loved doing the altered acrylic ladies desk caddies and the cigar box, I went full out on this altered bead box for My Scrap Room’s Swap.

I actually started this box once the partners where posted on Thrusday, I finished it up except for the bottom this evening. It took me nearly 12 hours to complete.

My partner loves pinks, teal and white. Teal is a bit hard to find, so I used accents of teal and goodies inside the box in teal for this swap. The roses are rolled roses from my sizzix die, I am roses and Wild Orchid Crafts.

Since my partner is over seas, I will be finishing this up and mailing it out this week, so I can send it ‘snail mail’ and have it arrive by the deadline.

I had a really wonderful time with this. I first sanded the box with some medium grit sand paper, wipped off the fuzz, and used Aileens E78000 to attach the paper, flowers, trim, etc.

If you have any questions on how I made this project, please contact me via email at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com. Have a great night, stamp happy and be a blessing!

Squigglefly Challenge and desk caddy in Yellow and blue! Video slideshow!

Hi Friends !

Heather at Squigglefly.com has come up with a super fun challenge, we as designers where challenged to come up with a card that featured our own hand writing.

I needed to make a gift and card for my senior friend, Ms. Vivian and felt this to be the perfect opportunity to make this adorable card.

Here is the slide show, I hope you enjoy my creations!

I used the image “To catch a falling nut”, and colored it with copic markers. I took this card way over the top by adding handmade flowers, leaves and other embellishments.

I used the scraps from the Ladies desk caddy to complete the layout of this simple yet elegant card. The large acrylic photo frames have been purchased at my local Michael’s craft store.

I hope you’ll come see the fun on facebook and at our challenge blog. Squigglefly design digital stamps are fun to use! I hope you’ll give them a try!

Stamp Happy, be a blessing.

Squigglefly Sickity Sam!

This is sickity Sam from Squigglefly!

This seemed like an odd image to me, at least the first time I viewed it. Then I got to thinking how fun it would be to do a get well card for a neighbor complete with a bowl of hot chicken soup or a nice casserole.

I kept the layout of the card simple and used my own hand writing for the sentiment.

Some of my favorite colors are green and pink, I used the bright greens and yellows to brighten up the card. It was fun to create and I hope you’ll hop on over to the squigglefly web site and see the great digi stamps you can purchase!

Wonderful Wednesday — Altered Cigar box —

Hi friends!

I spent most of Tuesday working on this altered cigar box. I used my K and Company “watercolor” garden paper to decorate this beautiful box.

The flowers are cut from a sizzix flower, 3D and all of the other elements are from my personal collection.

The pictures where made while the project was still wet, so I could get my post for today together.

Please try this project for yourself. Cigar boxes can be purchased from your local tabacco retailer. This box cost me under $3.00. I am not altering the inside, as I enjoy the smell of the cedar wood.

Stamp Happy and be a Blessing!
