Alphabet Stickers Challenge

Jingle Bells Rock!

 

I made this card for the Alphabet Stickers Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I started by making a 4.25" x 5.5" card out of dark red cardstock. Using Fiskars' medium Jingle All The Way punch, I punched 12 bells - 6 in white, 6 in gold. I glued the bells together leaving just a hint of the gold to peak out the side to give dimension to the bells. I used EK Success Sticko stickers in gold glitter to spell out 'JINGLE'. I adhered a white ribbon bow and streamer and set the bells along the streamer with foam tape for a bit more dimension. To finish off, I rounded the bottom corners.

CAS-ual Fridays Kraft-On Challenge CFC76

     Good morning! Thanks for stopping in. CAS-ual Fridays challenged us this week to make a card with Kraft paper or cardstock. Here's my take on the challenge.

 

 

       I started by making a card base with Kraft cardstock. The 'white and kraft script' background is from Prima's Madeline collection. I cut two lengths of border from the Kraft cardstock and backed them up to each other. Then, I added three fall-colored leaves and attached the 'hope' button to create the focal point.

     Do you have a project in mind using Kraft cardstock? You still have plenty of time to make it and enter it in this week's challenge at CAS-ual Fridays. You can get all the info about joining in the fun here: http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2012/10/cfc76.html. I will look forward to seeing your work in their gallery.

    Thanks so much for stopping by. I always love your visits and comments!

Fiskateers Third Annual ORANGE Blog Hop

     Welcome to the Third Annual Fiskateers ORANGE Blog Hop! If you're hopping along, you should have come from Donna #6036 www.scissorsstampsandscrapbooks.blogspot.com/  (If you are joining us in the middle, go to www.fiskateers.com to start from the beginning.) Today we are celebrating Fiskars' signature color, ORANGE. Almost everyone is familiar with Fiskars' famous orange-handled scissors, but Fiskars makes so many other wonderful products for crafting, sewing, gardening, and more. Each stop along our Hop will feature different Fiskars' products with a big helping of ORANGE! There will also be a giveaway from Fiskars for a lucky few who visit all the hops. And, I have a prize to giveaway too! Make sure you read this post all the way to the bottom for info on how to enter.
    
     Orange Christmas? Yes, of course, you can use orange - and turquoise - for Christmas! I'm a bit of a rebel when it comes to expected colors and using stamps and punches for their intended purpose. So, when I was asked to join this blog hop and the rules said I had to use orange I thought why can't I use orange for my Christmas tags. Here's my take on the challenge.

     The rectangle tag measures 2.5" x 5.5" and the circle tag is 4" across. I used four different Fiskars products to make these tags, but you should feel free to change them in any way and make them your own. Let's take a closer look at the round one.

1.  Cut a 4" circle in turquoise cardstock and run it through a crimper. 

2.  Cut a 3.5" circle in orange cardstock.

3.  Line up the two circles and punch holes for the ribbon.

4.  Stamp turquoise snowflakes of your choice on the orange circle making

      sure to stamp one over the hole you just punched. Allow some of the

      snowflakes to fall past the edge of the circle. Also stamp flourishes

      as desired.

5.  Adhere circles together with foam tape.

6.  Stamp sentiment, mat with crimped turquoise and adhere with foam tape.

7.  Apply turquoise gems to snowflake centers and tie on ribbon.

Supply list is at the end of this post.
