Wednesday: GLITTER QUEEN'S BLOG HOP - DAY THREE

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING OUR BLOG HOP. IF YOU HAVE MISSED ANY DAYS OF MY PROJECTS, JUST CLICK ON "OLDER POSTS" AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE AND YOU CAN SEE ALL MY PREVIOUS PROJECTS.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments you have left me. I sincerely appreciate them and am glad you like my projects.

I am featuring the Pennant Parade Stamp Set as well as the Pennants Builder Punch from Stampin' Up! all week. Today I have a Halloween card and a 3-D fun item.

I used the Mini Milk Carton Die and my wonderful BIG SHOT from Stampin' Up! (both are in the big IBC) LOVE MY BIG SHOT. You absolutely MUST get one - you can do so much with it - like cut 80 different materials with it. So the cute little SPOOKY carton comes cut and scored when it is run it through the Big Shot.

I used Halloween Fright DSP as a border on both the mini carton and my card. Also used the PENNANT BUILDER PUNCH and stamped from the Wicked Cool Stamp Set the words HAVE A WICKED HALLOWEEN. Cute, huh? I added some strips of the DSP to look like ties on the pennant, as well the flags I put into the mouth of the carton "full of candy". Pixie Sticks hold the the Pennants punched out, as well as crimped card stock foofoo (kind of like Cheer Leader Pompoms) at the top for decoration and it will be a winning treat for someone sweet.

For the card I stamped the spider web and the word SPOOKY from the same Wicked Cool stamp set, layered it with basic black card stock and lucky limeade card stock for the card base. I then used CRYSTAL EFFECTS on the word and it makes it look like it has a plastic bubble on it or a puffy shiney effect. When the Crystal Effects (IBC) dries it is shiney and dimensional. I punched out the spider from the paper and used some old olive retired ribbon on the side.

Here is a closeup of the mini milk carton with the yummy candy in it. Isn't it spooky and fun all at the same time? I used a mini clip to keep the top closed and put a 1/2" circle punched spider on that as well. FUN FUN FUN

Here you can see my SPOOKY card up close. I also put a drop of the Crystal Effects on the body of the punched out spider to give it dimension. CREEPY and FUN. ha ha

Tuesday: DAY TWO - GLITTER QUEEN'S BLOG HOP

HELLO, HOW DID YOU LIKE OUR BLOG HOP YESTERDAY? We have lots of fun stuff today for you as well!!

I am spotlighting all week the Pennant Parade stamp set with the Pennant Builder Punch. I LOVE THEM. They are so cute and I have had fun with them making all these projects.

My projects for today are from my daughter and I stamping together trying to come up with fun things for YOU:

Above we made the banners HAPPY and DAY. We created a flag and glued it to wooden skeweres. The pennants were sewn to a fun ribbon before attaching it in front of the newsprint banner. At the top we crimped some cardstock and glued it with Tombow Multipurpose Glue for a topper. Kind of like a cheer leader's pompom, right? Rah, Rah, Rah!!

You can see both words on this pennant banner. Again the pennants were decorated with punched out letters to spell BIRTH DAY. The pennants were sewn by machine onto a fun ribbon before being glued onto the wooden skewer. Besides the rah rah pompom deco on top, we added a large pearl topper.

Here we made a HELLO banner with wide ribbon flowing from the deco straw. We also used the little decorative stamp from the Pennant Parade Stamp set - looks like it could be a snowflake, a flower or just an accent. It could be a pixie stick if you wanted to do that - wouldn't that be cute for a child or for anyone? After we took the photos, we realized we needed to sponge some ink around the edge of the newsprint DSP to give it some depth, which we did but forgot to take another photo. We were just talking and laughing and having too much fun, I guess!! I hope you can imagine how cute it looked with the shadow of colorful blue ink all around the edge of the decorator paper.

We also made a WELCOME banner to use as a decoration with some home made goodies like cookies or cupcakes to take to a new neighbor, a new teacher, or a new member of your church. We used some designer series paper for the large flag, and the pennants were made from solid card stock again sewn onto ribbon by machine.

On to the hop: My first entry is my BONJOUR card. I felt like I should say HELLO and WELCOME to my blog. What a fun way to say hello with BONJOUR. I ordered the Hello Friend stamp set in French so that I could have it say BONJOUR on my cards. Many of our stamps come in both French and Spanish, as well as in English. Isn't that great!!

P
I used the wonderful new in-color pool party card stock, the new Spice Cake designer series paper in our HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG for the banners, and crumb cake and soft suede card stock (from the Idea Book & Catalog or IBC) as well. I used my sewing machine to sew the Petite Pennants to the 1/8" very vanilla ribbon (IBC) and two mini gold brads (IBC) to attach the banner. (The pennants are punched out with the Pennant Builder Punch (IBC). The other brown stitching is actually done with my mat pack (IBC) and then a soft suede marker to make it look like the thread.

See how well the designer paper and the card stock go together? Don't you LOVE how all Stampin' Up! items coordinate so well? I SURE DO.
