Stampin' Dreams Halloween Blog Hop

Halloween isn't a real bit thing in my neighborhood, but I usually do something with my daughter for her to take to school for treats. In the past I have even baked items, but with the year of 2020 I'm going for pre-sealed sweeties for this years treats.

I found that Freddo Frogs fit perfectly into the Little Treat Box Dies, so all that was need was to add a Halloween theme to the treat box and they would be done! Well, I couldn't leave it at just that, my mind was working overtime (I tend to get creative in the evenings, before I knew it, it was 11pm), I made a couple of variations with the spider theme - the Metallic Mesh Ribbon looks great as cob webs!



Now the details, the purple treat holder is the stock standard treat box made with the die, all I did was stamp the sentiment and spiders, then put it together - its really kewl, as you don't need to use any adhesive. There are little slots the fold into each other and hold it together all by itself, fold the sides up and tie with ribbon, that's it, done!


Now for the second project, I wanted to fit skittles into this one, so I made it a custom fit. I started with the treat die, and then made a box to fit onto the bottom, it was a definite work in progress at that time of the night...... or was it morning by then..... what started out as a pull out box, ended up as a lid.


I heat embossed the sentiment with both silver and white to give a rustic ghostly feel, doing everything you wouldn't normally do with embossing powder to put some "grunge" on the box, finger prints everywhere, rubbed my little fingers all over the place lol.

Now to hold the lid down with some cobwebs...aka Metallic Mesh Ribbon, to open all you need to do is undo the bow.



Lastly I die cut spiders, adhering Gorgeous Grape or Pumpkin Pie under the black, and putting on the box. I'm really happy with the finished treat holder.

Thank you for everything Hues of Happiness

Hello crafty friends, I'm using one of my favourite layouts today with the simply gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP . I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set .  To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone  Basic Jewels .

Color Fusers Blog Hop May 2023

Hello everyone, it's the beginning of a new month, so that means it's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, is all about the new 2023-2025 InColors! There is also a colour refresh, so lots of new colours are on there way, but today I am super excited to try out Moody Mauve, my favourite from this group. I've done 2 tone stamping so you can see first and second generation colours of Moody Mauve using the Two-Tone Flora stamp set, as well as blending the ink on to Moody Mauve cardstock using a Artistic Mix Decorative mask . As you can see Moody Mauve is stunning in both a pastel (2nd generation stamping) as well as full depth. I've combined with Basic Grey...... I may have done a booboo with my pre-order and missed Pebbled Path; but based on the sample of Pebbled Path I have, it would be perfect companion for Mood Mauve  To finish I added "thanks" from Sentimental Park , and some Basic Rhinestones for just a touch of bling. Be su

Fancy Folds Stampers Showcase - Hues of Happiness Circle Easel Card

Hello there crafters! You are going to love today's Stamper Showcase Blog Hop - we are all featuring FUN FOLDS, I just love a fun fold, I should really do more of them! I decided to a Circle Easel Card, it's a smaller card, but I think you will agree is just super cute, and with the Hues of Happiness DSP is just Gorgeous! This card is a relatively simple for a fun fold and comes together very quickly - I think I spent more time doing the floral arrangement than the actual fun fold itself. I took advantage of being able to die cut images directly from the Hues of Happiness DSP - I love it when we can do this with DSP, and aren't the flowers just stunning! I took 3 different flowers and some foliage and arranged to fit within the Basic White Circle cut from the largest circle die in Layering Circles Dies set, and the largest scallop die is used for the coloured section of the card. To create the card base you need to fold a piece of card stock and positon the largest die slig

Color Fusers Blog Hop June 2023

Hello everyone, it's the beginning of a new month, so that means it's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our creations will feature the new pink - Bubble Bath, the returning Pretty Peacock, and Pool Party. I decided on the pastel approach, I began with creating my background with a paper stencil cut using the cloud die from Basic Borders , working from Pretty Peacock to Pool Party and finishing with Bubble Bath towards the bottom of the card, moving the stencil a little each time so as to not have identical clouds in a line. I was excited to try a creation with the Beautiful Balloons Bundle - I traced the outside edge of the balloon die then blended each colour, leaving the right hand side a little lighter, the inked up the "detail" stamp for the balloons just on the left and stamped.  Once die cut, I then stamped the ribbon and sentiment, before mounting the balloons with Dimensionals . Be sure to continue on through the rest of t
