All Decked Out Snowman

I bought these cute socks at CVS Pharmacy several weeks ago because I love snowmen!  They inspired me to get out my All Decked Out stamp set and make this 6x6 card.

I love this stamp set! It is one of those stamps that you stamp and color the elements to add pop!  The All Decked Out stamp set includes snowman parts:  the body in separate pieces, mittens, arms, scarves, hats, and snowflake flourishes.   

Since the socks had two shades of blue, I looked through my stash to find things in those colors.  Believe it or not, the Pacifica B&T behind the snowman came from the Dreamin' paper packet!  I added Crystal Blue and Pacifica Cardstock to it and Whoala!  Think outside the box when choosing paper patterns and you will be amazed with what you can create!

I added this photo because I wanted you to see that Prisma Glitter was added to the snowflake flourishes, which was hard to see with the straight on shot of it.  The snowman is lightly water colored blue with our watercolor pencils and watercolor brush.  I used Rhinestone Brads to embellish  the card, as well as ribbon from the Blue Ribbon Assortment.

**Tips - Use Bonding Memories Glue Pen to add Prisma Glitter to any project.  Put the glue on the area you wish to highlight; let glue dry to clear; add Prisma Glitter with the eraser on a pencil (which just adds glitter where you want it and not all over your table and your lap!).

Dreamin' Workshop on the Go Cards

These are the cards for the Dreamin' Workshop on the Go that we are making this week.  The Dreamin' Kit includes:  Dreamin' Level 2 Paper, Dreamin' My Acrylix Stamp Set, Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel,  Shimmer Brads, and the Workshop Guide.   The price is $35 (includes tax and shipping).  These cards/ instructions were made by me for the workshop.

Card 2

Card 3

If you purchase the Dreamin' WOTG kit I will include the card instructions.

Leaves and Acorn Harvest Happiness Card

This card is on the <shape11> key; Card button.  It is a 4 1/2" card.  I used the Dreamin' Paper Packet, Harvest Happiness Stamp Set and Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel.

The cool thing about the Harvest Happiness stamp set (and others in our catalog)  is that it coordinates with shapes on our Cricut cartridge.  The stamp set "carrier sheet" tells you what size to cut the image so that you can stamp on it.  It is so fun to stamp and NOT have to cut it out by hand.   I cut the card, leaves, and the acorn with the Cricut Cartridge.  I also utilized the zip strip from the B&T as "ribbon" for this card - what a cool use for those little strips!

Have a Splendid Day Card

I used the Cricut Cartridge to create the card, flower and sentiment. The card is from the <shape 11> key; Card button; Shift - it is 4 1/2". The "splendid" flower is on the <flower4> key. I cut it 5 times beginning with 2 1/2" and turned the size dial down one tick each time I cut the flower. 

The items used for this card are the Dreamin' Paper Packet, Mini Medley Pewter Assortment, Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel, and Cocoa Ribbon.

**Tip - I cut 5 flowers from the Pacifica Dots B&T and utilized both sides of the B&T for the flower (alternating sides as I stacked them up).   I curled the petals downward using a stylus tool; adhered the flowers together and placed a brad in the center.  I also cut <shape11> at the 3/4" size to use as the leaves for the flower.

A Season of Thanks Pillow Box

This was the project we created at my Cricut Class this week.  It is a pillow box from the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and is on <shape11> key.  To get this 7" shape you need to push  Font Layer,<shape11> and Shift.  Fill it with candy or a small surprise and put on your Thanksgiving table (see page 64 in the Catalog IdeaBook). 

I used the Dreamin' paper packet, Captured Moments stamp set, Harvest Happiness stamp set, Foundry Metal Accessories, and Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel.

Cherish the Day Fall Card

This is the $10 Month Club Playgroup card for November.  I used Dreamin' Paper, Cherish the Day Stamp of the Month, Harvest Happiness stamp set, and the Cricut Art Philosophy to cut the leaves and the ticket.

This photo shows that the leaves are popped up with 3D Foam Tape and embellished with Bronze Glitz Glitter Gel.  The Glitz Glitter Gel adds just the right amount of sparkle!

Blessing Jar and Sending You...Harvest Happiness

I had this idea about a month ago and finally made it while visiting my sister!   I though it would be awesome to write down one blessing each day during November and keep them in this jar.  The Blessing Jar has a coordinating card (just for fun - the stamp set inspired the actual jar).  The little pocket holds the slips to write your blessings on.  

The jar has a piece of Dreamin' B&T around it, along with ribbon from our Honey Mini Medley and a charm from the Harvest Charms.  

**Tip - Use the blessing strips as journal prompts when you are ready to scrapbook your Fall/Thanksgiving photos.

I used Dreamin' Paper, ribbon and charm from the Honey Mini Medley, Joyful Jar My Acrylix Stamp Set and  Harvest Happiness Stamp Set

for this card.

The pocket is from the 10 Things Pocket and I decorated it using scraps of Dreamin' paper and a Harvest Charm.  (I used the tags from the 10 Things Pocket on the Roxie Board Book).   I cut 1" x 4" strips of cardstock to slip in the pocket. 

A Sweet Treat Bookmark Card

For this card I used the Dreamin' paper packet, Treasure Life stamp set, Antique Copper Brads, Harvest Charms, and Cocoa Ribbon.

The pocket on the front of the card does double duty by holding a bookmark that can be used later by the receiver. 

  *Tip - You could send a birthday card such as this - you haven't  spent a lot of money, but it is a sweet treat that can be used later, when you include a bookmark for a special friend's birthday wish!

Life Unscripted 4 1/2" Card

This 4 1/2" card was created with Dreamin' Level 2 Paper, Mini Medley Pewter Assortment, Chocolate Ribbon, and the cute My Acrylix Stamp Set - Unscripted. 

Live. Laugh. Love.

I used CTMH  Dreamin' Level 2 Paper to create this 5x7 card.  The stamps I used are:  Love Life stamp set and the Happy Clusters stamp set.  The embellishments on this card are a selection of buttons from the Blue Button Assortment and Mocha Opaques.

Two thicknesses of 3D Foam Tape were used pop the star up and I sponge distressed the edges with Chocolate Ink.
