Treat Box

Yesterday, I spent most of the day pinching myself.  I was lucky enough to have a box that I created, featured on Splitcoast Stampers!  You can find the tutorial, and even a video, HERE.  I thought I would share the box, as it's a fun way to give a sweet little gift, and display your artwork, as well!

This first box features Impression Obsession Stamps: Spa Day G2346, and Witching You B5523.  All Coloring is done with Copic Markers, Ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, and the cardstock is from a muse studio.  The teensy spiders are from a punch I found in the $1 bin at Michael's - no names on it.

This little sweetie is a Little Darlings stamp.  She just melts my heart with those big blue eyes! The sentiment stamp is from Stampendous, and the cardstock is Kraft.  Button is from my stash, and I used my black Zig Pen for doodling around the edges.  All coloring is done with Copic Markers.

 

Last, is the easiest of all!  Using some Graphic 45 DP, I simply cut and pasted on the box.

 Hope you will give it a try!  Looking forward to seeing YOUR treat boxes!

There is an album in the gallery at SCS for them, so after you create, 

post your finished project HERE!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!  

There are lots of fun hops coming up in the next couple of weeks - check out my sidebar for more info!

Have a great day,

Happy Halloween...

Welcome to a new 'What If Wednesday' sketch challenge for Repeat Impressions Stamps!  We have another great sketch by Wendy to share with you today.

Here is Wendy's Sketch:

 

And here is my card:

Repeat Impressions Stamps (2323W Halloween Cobweb) (2322W Black Cat), Reminisce "You Don't Scare Me" DP, Authentique "Glowing" DP, Fiskar's Deckle Scissors, Zig Pen, CS from stash, Stickles, Bat Dies from Amuse, Spider Punch is Studio G. from Michael's.

I had all sorts of ideas about flipping this sketch so that the rounded panel would be 'grass' at the bottom, but 'someone' must have snuck in when I wasn't looking and glued the bats at the bottom of the panel.  Hmmm....Funny how a card evolves from a mistake!

Let's see what YOU can do with this fun sketch!  All of the challenge details can be found at the Repeat Impressions Blog, The House That Stamps Built.  You could be a lucky winner!

Creations by AR - Mothers and Grads Blog Hop

Good morning, and thanks for dropping by to hop with us!  

Adela has been busy over at Creations by AR, designing some fun and very useful templates for Mother's,  and for those Graduates that you need to remember with a little something, or a lotta cash...

let's get started!

As always, there will be prizes.  There will be two winners per blog - each winner will receive one of the new templates.  How do you win?  Very simple - leave a comment at each blog!  That's it! Winners will be posted on Friday.  If you get lost, the blog roster is below!

 First up is the Birdhouse Topiary.  Oh my goodness - what a fun project!  As you know, I do not have a cutting machine, so all cutting is done by hand.  There were a lot of pieces, but the directions were concise, and the pieces were well marked.  I had no trouble figuring it out!  As you can see by the photos, you can display the entire piece as one, or you can set the birdhouse next to the base, which you can fill with candy, money, etc.

CS: a muse, Butterfly punch: Martha Stewart, Flowers on base & sign on house: computer generated. Butterfly bodies and sign 'hanger' were drawn with zig pen.

Next, we'll move on to the Grad Cap.  This was easy peasy!  Three pieces - the box (which can be used alone), the cap top, and the sentiment piece.  The Congratulations stamp is a Michael's $1 bin stamp, and the scroll is from a Doodle Pantry digi image set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  You can purchase both of these templates at Creations by AR.  

Now, hop on over to Sue's Stamping Stuff to see her gorgeous creations!
