Blog Hop–Scaredy Cat

Welcome to another Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop!  This team is led by Kimberly Moss.  This month we are showcasing artwork using the new Scaredy Cat collection.

If you have come here from Wendy Taylor’s Blog, you are on the right path!  The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your away all around.  Just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!  

I chose to share 2 cards today that I have already posted to my blog, but I thought it would be great for this hop.  I wanted to use the Scaredy Cat paper collection for something other than Halloween.

The dot paper with the stars was so easy for birthday and don’t you just love the Colonial White Ink on Black cardstock effect.  I used the new You Mean The World To My stamp set (B1467), which is quickly becoming a favorite sentiment stamp set for me.

I love purple and silver for elegant cards.  I heat embossed the sentiment with our Silver Embossing Powder.  The stamp set used on this card is called Look To The Light (B1428) and includes scriptures from the bible that praise God – enough said.

The next blogger on the hop is Fawn Carriker. 

Happy hopping and thanks for stopping by.

Card Class–Scaredy Cat

So apparently this class doesn’t get any love and barely gets posted to my blog.  Well, I’m trying my hardest to be more consistent and this is the first step.

I have to admit that I am so excited about how these cards turned out.  I was proud of myself, if I do say so.

Each month I am going to use a different paper collection for all 3 of my classes.  I asked my club members what kind of cards they wanted to make and if they wanted to use the Scaredy Cat paper.  The biggest response that I got back was that they love the Scaredy Cat paper, but don’t send Halloween cards.  So my goal was to NOT make all 4 of these cards Halloweeny – and I think I accomplished it.

The dot paper with the stars was so easy for birthday and don’t you just love the Colonial White Ink on Black cardstock effect.  I used the new You Mean The World To My stamp set (B1467), which is quickly becoming a favorite.

I love purple and silver for elegant cards.  I heat embossed the sentiment with our Silver Embossing Powder.  The stamp set used on this card is called Look To The Light (B1428).  Scriptures from the bible that praise God – enough said.

Of course I had to make some of them with our super cute new Halloween stamps.  This card uses the Trick or Treat Sweets (B1460) and Frightfully Fun (B1453) stamp sets.  They are so cute!

Last, but not least, and probably my favorite “if the broom fits, ride it”.  For some reason this stamp set, Halloween Greetings (D1605), just popped out at me in the Idea Book.  I LOVE it!!!

 

You too can join me in making these cards.  Even if you aren’t local, I can put together a kit for you and mail it directly to you.

So who wants to join in the fun?

Cricut Artbooking–“Halloween” Layout

My year of Artbooking classes is coming to a close – there are only 3 classes left and here’s the next one.

I have to give a special shout-out to Dana Kessler and Christine Adams for their inspiration with this page.

I don’t have a close-up picture of the cat, but take a close look at her collar.  That’s right it’s purple shimmer trim.  The tiniest little piece.  But she needed some sparkle. 

I think the house is so cool looking.  It’s just simply cut out of black cardstock and backed with Honey cardstock in the windows.  Then pop it up with some 3-d Foam Tape.  So cool!

The bats that came out of this moon cut were sponged with Archival Black Ink before adhering to the page.  Oh and back the moon with black cardstock and 3-D foam tape.  Have you noticed there’s a theme here. (3-D Foam Tape)

This is probably my favorite effect.  Cut the title twice and offset it.  Thank you Christine Adams for this one!

Remember all cuts are from the Cricut Artbooking collection. 

 

You can create this page by joining me at my next Cricut Class, Saturday, September 20 at 9am in my studio in Amelia, VA.

Cost is $10 if you own the Artbooking cartridge. Simply bring your Cricut, Artbooking Cartridge Bundle, and I'll supply the rest and walk you through the cuts.

Cost is $20 if you don't own the Artbooking cartridge, because I'll cut all of your pieces for you ahead of time.

Thanks for stopping by.

August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop–What a Hoot

Welcome to the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

This month we have 67 Consultants featuring the August Stamp of the Month, What A Hoot, a set of 17 stamps.  Remember that this stamp set is only available during the month of August.  Place an order of $50 and get the Stamp of the Month for just $5.

If you have come here from Dawn Haight's Blog you are on the right path! If you get lost along the way you can find the complete list on Melinda’s Blog here.

 I created a simple card for my upcoming Idea Book Celebration Make-N-Take.

I used the new Scaredy Cat Paper Packet (X7185B) and the Paper Fundamentals Adventure Assortment (Z2032).

To color the eyes and hat I used our new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers (eyes - Pastel Green Z2459 and hat - Marigold Z2457).  I am really enjoying these markers.

To finish it off I embellished with the Thistle Diagonal Striped Ribbon (Z1990) and stars from the Scaredy Cat Assortment (Z3011).

Oh and I think this doesn’t have to be just a Halloween card, but I made mine for a Birthday.

Now it is time to hop over to Stefani Ewing’s Blog to see what she has created!

Thanks for stopping by.
