MASON JARS, OH SO CUTE!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS

I know everyone has been seeing Mason jar projects all over blogger.  Well here is my project using the Stampin' Up Jar of Love stamp set and Everyday Jars framelit bundle.

I heat embossed the fish using our new copper embossing powder.  The jar was stamped using Pool Party ink.  I also used Pool Party card stock as my base layer.  The polka dot Bermuda Bay is a project life card.  The ribbon is Bermuda Bay stitched ribbon.  I know these two items are retired, but you can still use them.  I wanted to share ways to combine old and new products.

To add value to the Everyday Jars framelits the new Holiday catalog, which goes live September 1, 2016, has two new stamp sets that will coordinate with them.  One is a Halloween themed set and the other is Christmas.

I would like to send a complimentary Holiday catalog to any one that subscribes or is a subscriber.  Just send me an e-mail at ogdendoll@gmail.com with your name and mailing address and I'll get one out to you.

Check back in next week I will be sharing projects made using some of the new products from the Holiday catalog.

Stampin Up Challenge #2 Happy Birthday

Here is a couple of new projects using products from the 2016 Occassion catalog.

I made two Birthday Cards.

Here is the other one

The suite I used was "It's My Party"  I love the bundle, which is discounted 15%, of the Stamp set and punches 141071.  The balloons and candles are made using the punches and the cake is an image in the stamp set.  Both card bases are Melon Mambo.  I used the Designers series paper stacks "Its My Party" 140552 and "Birthday Bouquet" 140557.

The first card was made using the Number of Years stamp set and framelit dies 140811 for the bundle.  I embossed the 2 in Blushing Bride.  The tiny hearts and scalloped circle were punched using Blushing Bride Glimmer paper140550.

I have one more Birthday project to share in my next post then on to Easter.

Love Blossoms #3 Stampin' Up Challenge

Today I want to share another card using the Love Blossoms suite.

This card looks complicated but it's not. All the intricate work is done using the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die 140621 and the Bloomin' Love Stamp set 140643.

Want to get 15% discount Bundle the Thinlits and the Stamp set 140818.

I made this card using Whisper White cardstock cut 10 x 5 and scored in half to make a 5 x 5 square card. For the layer I cut Blushing Bride cardstock 1/8" smaller.  All of the stamped images I used are in the Bloomin' Love stamp set.  I used the flowers to make the background and for the sentiment and used Watermelon Wonder ink.

The bow paperclip and ribbon I used is in the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit 140551.  The white pearls 119247 embellishment can be found in the 2015 Annual Catalog 

The heart and flowers for my focal point are all cut using the Thinlits die.  This intricate die has lots of small pieces and our new Big Shot Die Brush 140603 easily removes these cut pieces. Stampin' Up has a great video demonstrating the use of thinlits die and Die Brush.  I am adding it below.

Hope this video from Stampin Up  is helpful.  If you don't have a die cutting machine you can purchase the Big Shot and accessories HERE.  

With the purchase of a Big Shot you might want to consider becoming a demonstrator.  There are so many perks as a demonstrator and I would like to share them with you.  If your only interested in receiving products at a discount you can join as a hobbyist. Want to make money doing what you love, Crafting, then you can join and start a business.  It's up to you. Contact me using my email ogdendoll@gmail, com if you would like more information.

Challenge Christmas Cards

Here today to enter a few challenges.  My first card is for Simon Says Stamps Wednesday challenge CAS (clean and simple).

This was really simple to make. I used DCWV "Evergreen" stack for my card base. I heat embossed Merry Christmas using silver embossing powder and a $1 stamp from Tuesday Morning's on green cardstock. The little tree embelishment is from Recollections and the green striped paper is Paper Studios  "Holiday Cheer" 6x6 pad.  I used foam adhesive for dimension and found a scrap of green ribbon from my stash.

Second card is for the sketch challenge at Pink Elephant.

I used the same 6x6 paper pad "Holiday Cheer" for the green strip and patterned paper. I mounted a K&Company die cut onto red card stock which I also used for my card base. On this card I used Vintage Photo distress ink on all the edges. For dimension I popped up the die cut and the red cardstock. A red and white gingham ribbon was the finishing touch. 

Thanks for viewing my cards. On to another project.

Bye, Bye for Now

FCCB CHALLENGE # MEMORIAL DAY

Hi! Everyone.  I want to share my project for the Memorial Day challenge at FCCB this week.  I know we all have members of our family who have been in some form of military service.  My grandfather served in the Marines during WWII.  He was stationed in the Pacific and was one of the lucky ones who returned home after the war and died many years later safe at home.  I want to thank him and all those who defend our country against our enemies foreign and domestic, which seems to be happening a lot too often lately.

My card has a vintage patriotic theme to it. Once again I used one of those great images from Geko Galz. I wanted to showcase this image so I used a white card stock as the base.  The mat behind the picture is red card stock, I think it frames the image perfectly. Tried to keep with a red, white and blue color scheme. The stars ribbon I bought last year for a 4th of July scrapbook and this was some leftover. I like trying to use up scraps. A white button in the corner with some red hemp finished off the image.  For the border I used Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge.  This cartridge has some great border cuts as well as rosettes.  I used Crystal Stickles to highlight the stars.

Please join us this week as we celebrate and remember those who have defended our country.

Hope you have a good and safe Memorial Day weekend.

Bye, Bye for Now

FOR THE GRAD

As you might know I had no computer last week.  I tried posting my Design Team project for the Graduation challenge on my cell which by the way is also having issues. Any way I thought I might post and share my project with everyone.

I used Wild Card for my cuts.  The local HS colors are red and black.  I do not have a grad this year, but still made a card for the challenge at FCCB. I used a piece of gold paper for bling and elegance. The black rhinestones are from Michael's. The ribbon is Ollfray from Walmart. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Loving my new computer now that I have everything loaded, (pictures, etc.). Will probably be posting again later, lots of catching up to do.  While I was computerless I did have more time to craft.  Have some projects I want to share.

BYE BYE for Now,

SHAPED CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE AT FCCB

I have been busy crafting Christmas cards and when I saw the challenge at FCCB I thought I would enter with a card I made using the Noel Christmas cartridge.

The door is cut at 5 1/2 " out of textured red card stock. The shifted cut is white card stock for the panes.  I used a silver glitter pen for the door handle.  The acetate wreath is from K&Company. To make the card I cut the shape in white on the blackout feature twice.  I glued the two pieces on one edge for the hinge so it would open.

Back to crafting working on a stickpin swap.  I'll post them when I am done. 

Bye, Bye, for now
