Friday Famelits

Friday Fall Decor

Welcome to this Fabulous Friday post, coming to you courtesy of the Sisters in Stamping blog. Rachel is up this week and she has challenged us to make some Fall & Halloween Decor for you. Here is my project for this week--

 

I started my little paper broom with Stampin' Up!'s petal cone die. The broom base is in More Mustard. I made a broom handle with the new Cord'nations card stock and the Wood Grain embossing folder, attaching it to the cone by snipping a hole in the top and gluing the handle down into the cone.

 

Here is a closer look at the leaf decor--

 To make the broom part I cut strips of More Mustard card stock and curled them with a bone folder. This project is time consuming and a little tedious--but it turned out so cute, I think it was worth it!

Thank-you for coming by today! See you next week.

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Itty Bitty Punching on Friday

 

Hello! Thank-you for coming back. We all take turns picking our weekly Fabulous Friday post over at the Sisters in Stamping blog -- this week it's my turn, we are all doing projects with the Punch Packs from the Holiday Mini and the 2012-13 Idea Book & Catalog. Here is my project--

 

 

I used the four petal punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. I used the Full Heart punch in white as my bottom layer just in case you could see between the little flowers, and it also serves as a guide for my little heart. I attached the flowers with mini glue dots and then places a small pearl in the center of each flower. This card looks pretty simple and easy, but let me tell you it's a little tedious with all of those little flowers and pearls! But it was worth it because I think it turned out very nice.

Happy Stamping!

Spooky Spider for Sisters in Stamping Post

Hello- Friday once again! It's Debbie's week for the Fabulous Friday theme, here is my 3D Halloween Candy item for the Sisters in Stamping post.

 

This is called a 2/4/6/8 box. It's a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2x 11 cardstock (5 1/2x 8 1/2) scored at 2", 4", 6" and 8". Then again along the long side at 1 1/2". Fold it up use some glue to put it together, cut a few notches in the side--there you go! I used the Stampin' Up! Spider Web embossing folder on it before I glued it together and the cute little spider comes for the Stampin' Up! set called Tricky Treats. Last but not least, the spider has some of the new Googlie Eyes from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I'm traveling to Wisconsin this week-end and this will be my 3D trade for my Meeting on Saturday.

Thanks for looking!

Fabulous Piercing Templates

Good Day! One of the fantastic new products in the Idea Book & Catalog are the NEW Piercing Templates right now there are only 2 sets, but I'm sure Stampin' Up! will be adding more to this fantastic line of Stampin' tools. Here is my project for this week--

I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack (#126187) and the new Stampin' Pierce Mat (#126199). The Pierce Mat is twice as large as the old, which works great for this Faux Stitching technique-- draw a line on both side of the strip using the white gel pen, use the straight line of holes in the Template and pierce a line over the top of the gel pen. Pretty easy and lots of fun!

Thank-you for stopping by and make sure you go over to the Sister in Stamping blog to see what the other girls are "piercing."

Happy Stamping! Karla c(:

Fabulous Christmas Wheels

It's another Fabulous Friday over at the Sisters in Stamping blog where we are featuring wheels this week. Here is my card-- 

 

 

I used the Music Notes Wheel and the stamp set Beautiful Season. I tried a new technique with the coloring of my little bird I used a marker in a lighter color (Certainly Celery for the holly leaves) and came back with a darker colored Water Color Crayon (Garden Green) to give it some depth. This technique is similar to Marker over Pencil shown here on this post. I'm going to be creating a lot of these cards for Christmas so I needed to make it quick and easy!

 

Thanks for stopping by, and go check out the Sisters blog to see some other great Wheel cards!

Happy Stamping-- Karla c(:

 

PS. I used some of the InColor satin stitched ribbon on my card that's on special this month. Only one more week to get your free spool of ribbon. Contact me today!

Scrapbook Pages for Friday

It's my week over at the Sisters in Stamping blog. I picked Back to School Scrapbook pages for the theme. Here is my page--

I used the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, I thought it was appropriate--kiss that Summer good-bye! The strips of paper are cut in 1" strips and I used the Pennant punch to make the pencil tips. Clever, eh? We will be making this 8x8 page at the next Mother Daughter Class on Wednesday. I thought it would make a great page to put class photo's on, you know the little ones that you trade with your friends. E-mail me if you live in the area and you'd like to attend.

    Go over to the Sisters blog and check out what the other girls are doing-- some very cool My Digital Studio stuff.

Happy Stamping!
