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,

Colors of Fall...

Happy Wednesday!  

It's time for another Designer's Choice Challenge at Repeat Impressions. Rock Star Joy Hadden challenged us to make a non A2 sized card using a Repeat Impressions image.

Repeat Impressions Stamps: Maple Leaf Silhouette (5127-W), Inspiration (8409-W), Thinking of you (1105-W), Special (8608-W), Kaleidacolor Ink (Autumn)

I decided to make a quick set of fall note cards.  These cards are 3 x 3. I stamped the leaves and sentiments with a Kaleidacolor Ink pad.  The cardstock is from a muse studio.  I had a lot 'on my plate' and needed a very simple and quick project.  These will be fun to tuck in with a little gift for my chemo lady.

Fall is my favorite season for paper crafting!  Love the colors, the slight chill in the air each morning & evening, and the tree colors changing.

Be sure to check out what my fellow Rock Stars have created for this Designer's Choice Challenge.

Can't wait to see what YOU make for this challenge!  Grab those scraps, and let's see some non-A2 sized projects!  Link them up over at the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built, for a chance to win some RI of your own!!!

Have a great day.  Here's hoping no black cats cross your path!  

Hugs,

Patti J.

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!

For more inspiration, visit my fellow Rockstars, to see what they've created!
