SPOOKY 

Early Halloween card using the Festive and Bright  158536 Stamp and Die Set.  This Bundle is featured in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog on page 64.  The unique die set can be used to cut the right or left side or the entire garland like I have used here on my card of witch's hats and brooms.

I used my favorite item out of the entire catalog the black and white gingham ribbon I've already had to order another roll. I doubled it with some Fresh Freesia.  The card base is black and is stamped with Spooky along the right side in VersaMark, but I'm not sure it shows up on camera.  Spooky is then heat embossed in white on a gray background.  The shape was cut using one of the dies in the set and then  popped up on the card .  The garland is colored with blends on crumb cake cardstock.  The stamp is rather long so I used my Stamperatus to stamp it to make sure I got a good image and besides I didn't have a long enough block.

Hope this little Halloween tease gets you in the mood for more Halloween crafting.  Lots of SPOOKY products in the catalog to choose from take a look at kimogden.stampinup.net and if you find something that you just gotta have remember it's Sale-a-bration and $50.00 will get you a FREE item.

PEACEFUL DEER TAG

This tag would be perfect for a masculine gift all year long and it was easy to make. 

 

Crumb Cake card stock base desired size

Put it all together and you've got a simply gorgeous gift tag. This would be easy to make in bulk.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Challenge # 163

This week the challenge at FCCB is to make a project using two types of ribbon. I needed a birthday card and thought I would make it with two types of ribbon.                                                                  

  

 Also it was my first attempt at heat embossing.  I have seen it used by other crafters but had not invested in a heat gun and embossing powders, which by the way are a little pricey I discovered.  For someone who usually buys supplies on sale or discounted it was a big decision to purchase everything I  needed. I have to say I was very pleased with the results.  I do need a little more practice to perfect it though.

For my card I used Elegant Edges to cut the scalloped circle at 2.50 inches and the shadow.  The inner circle was cut smaller at 2.00 inches.  I threaded the blue gingham ribbon through the holes and tied a bow.  It is pop dotted onto the shadow. The border is a Martha Stewart border punch. The ribbon is more of the blue gingham and a piece of blue polka dot ribbon.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from a stamp set by TPC Studios. I used a fine silver embossing powder from Michael's and Versamark to stamp. It really was easy and the effect is very dramatic. If you haven't tried to heat embosse you might want to give it a try too. 

Thanks for looking. Join the challenge at FCCB this week and have fun.

Bye, Bye for Now,

I LOVE RIBBON

I love to use ribbon on my projects.  Sometimes it's just a little bow and sometimes it's wide and shiny, like on this Valentines Day card.  I have so much ribbon I am running out of storage.  I have a rainbow of colors.
On top of the spools I have yards of crinkle ribbon I learned to make.

Here's the card I made using wide ivory satin ribbon. The base of the card in A2 size.  I used Coordinations Chocolate Lovers collection from Joann's for the layers. The patterned paper is Prima "Printery" 6x6 pad.  The flowers are also by Prima to go with this paper.  The brad is Paper Studio Spare Parts.

The giraffe collage sheet  "Between the Lines" is from Gecko Galz. I inked the giraffe's using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress maker.   I also inked the edges of everything using Vintage Photo. The hearts are glittered red using a glitter pen.  I  wrote the sentiment because I discovered I have no stamps for Valentines.  Guess I need to buy some.

I love the way the giraffe's necks form a heart.  I also like the background text.  I am entering this card in the  Challenge over at Come and Get It Challenge blog.  The challenge is Tie a Ribbon Around It.

Hope you like it.  Bye Bye for Now, Kim
