Don't Forget To Say Thanks

Happy Veteran's Day and 11/11! (And happy long weekend to me!) I've been quite the busy bee this long weekend, too. Friday night I went out to dinner with a few friends, which was much needed after the stressful week I had. Saturday I taught a Copic class at a local scrapbooking store, and Sunday I got a hair cut and just about finished my research paper - yay! In the midst of all that I managed to get some crafting done, and wanted to share with you a card I made for the new 'Thankful' challenge at Get Inky Stamps.

I love how this card still screams Thanksgiving but features a non-traditional color combination using papers from Echo Park's "This & That" line. The Turkey digital stamp is from SKdigis. I colored the turkey with the following Copics:

E18

E25

E29

Y21

Y26

YG67

YR07

BG18

The card also goes along with the "Let's Talk Turkey" theme at All that Stickles (my challenge/inspiration blog), so I added some Golden Rod and Cinnamon Stickles to the turkey's feathers. The sentiment is from Get Inky's Joyful Jar Drinks stamp set.

P.S: Both SKdigis AND Get Inky Stamps are sponsors at All that Stickles this month, so there's some awesome prizes at stake for creating fun Thanksgiving projects using Stickles!

Have a great rest of your day!

Furry Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to the Furry Friends Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

Cute, cuddly, soft, and sweet, having a pet is quite the treat! This month we are honoring our furry friends with a dash of Stickles!

If you have just come across the hop and are looking to start at the beginning, please stop at All that Stickles!

My hop project is rather simple since I was fighting what I thought was a cold earlier this week (thankfully it turned out to be just allergies) so I didn't make anything too detailed in case I wasn't feeling well enough to finish it. Nonetheless, I think these little guys still turned out pretty cute!

I struggled a bit with what to make for the hop (we had to put our dog down in February, so I'm currently 'petless'), but once I saw these little treat holders in the Silhouette store, I knew they were perfect! They have quite a few animals to choose from so I added some others to my cart as well, but stuck with the cat and dog for the hop.

These guys are tiny, they're probably only about 1.5 by 1.5 inches! They work perfectly for small treats, though, like these yummy Cookies 'n Cream Hershey's Kisses that I'm hopelessly addicted to. The faces on these cuties are from Peachy Keen's August stamp set of the month. I was so happy to see how perfectly they fit! As for Stickles, I used Cotton Candy on the kitty's ears, Brushed Pewter Distress Stickles on the tail, and I used Cinnamon on the puppy's ears and tails. I love how Stickles can give such a simple project just the right touch!

We have blog candy for those who are a follower of All that Stickles and leave a comment on every stop of the hop! Winners will be announced Wednesday September 18th at All that Stickles.

1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop

Welcome to the 1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

Back to school is just around the corner, and what better way to start off the school year then with a bit of sparkle?! Today the design team is showcasing all sorts of glittery back to school projects that kiddos and teachers will love!

If you've come from All that Stickles, you're in the right place!

For my project, I made some pencil toppers! Wouldn't these be cute as a centerpiece on tables in a classroom?!

The apple and the 'school days' sentiment are from a cling rubber stamp set I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby months ago, it felt good to finally open it and put it to use!

I colored the apple with Copics R22, R24, R29, and R59, and used Green Stickles on the leaves. I also added some blue twine to complete the traditional red/yellow/blue/green school color palette. I added some red fabric tape to the plastic tube as well as a last minute embellishment.

Surf, Sun, & Stickles Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Surf, Sun, & Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

We're in the midst of a heat wave and what better way to cool off then indoors crafting with some Stickles?! This month's hop is all about using Stickles on those fun, summer-themed projects we all love to create.

I created a fun, summer beach bag using a file from the Silhouette store and some Peachy Keen Stamps:

The palm tree and the beach ball are stamps from Peachy Keen. I cut out their coordinating SVG files and stamped them, then colored them with Copic markers.

I accented the flower using a piece of CANDi embellished with Star Dust Stickles, and I added Cotton Candy Stickles to the creases of the flower.

The sentiment is attached to the bag with twine (made to look like a shopping tag) and is also from Peachy Keen's June Stamp Kit of the Month set.

Life's a Beach!

Hi everyone! Just a quick post tonight to share with you an easel card I made for this week's sketch challenge at Peachy Keen, and also the new True Blue Stickles linky party at All that Stickles!

I love how it turned out! I'm normally not a big scene card girl, but as soon as I saw this week's sketch challenge, the idea for this card immediately came to mind:

If you look at the bottom portion of the card, you'll see how the crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam and the twine make up the layered portion of the sketch. :)

Here's a close up of these beach cuties! All stamps (including the sentiment) are from the PKSC-18 stamp set. I used the coordinating SVG files that come with the set to cut out the white pieces, and then stamped the images on there and colored them with Copic markers. I embossed the clouds and added Frosted Lace Stickles to the swirls, and also cut a wave border using my Silhouette and added True Blue Stickles. The sand is actual craft sand from Hobby Lobby.

Here's a side view of the card! Of course the clouds would cover the sun right as I was trying to take this picture. Ugh - crafter problems. :)

I'm off to work on my creations for this weekend's release party challenges over at The Peachy Keen Connection! See you next time. :)

Neon Stickles!

Happy 4th of July!! Anyone have any fun plans? Me, I'm just enjoying the day off and getting crafty. :) I also have a post up at All that Stickles that I'd like to share with you!

Every Tuesday and Thursday at All that Stickles the design team posts tips/techniques/tutorials involving Stickles. Today I'm over there sharing how Stickles fit in with the recent neon trend, so be sure to check it out if neon is your thing!

The card I made to go along with the tutorial is actually being entered into this week's Use What You Have challenge at Sweet Stamp Shop!

To make the card, I of course used my stash of Stickles:

(These are all the regular and Distress Stickles, I have another container with the Ice Stickles and Glitz Stickles, along with my Liquid Pearls collection)

And CANDi pieces:

(I love these and really don't use them as often as I should!)

And now for how I combined the two stashes together...

A CAS neon card! I Stickled the pieces of CANDi, and heat embossed a sentiment from Sweet Stamp Shop's "Packaged Pretty" stamp set. I adhered it with the same pop dots used to adhere the CANDi pieces. I love how even though it's really simple, it's still fun and bright!

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check out my post at All that Stickles!

Star Spangled Stickles Blog Hop!

Looking for Made Especially For You's 2 Year Blogoversary Blog Hop? Please click here. :)

Welcome to the Star Spangled Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

"Oh say can you see... by the gleam of Stickles. Oh so proudly we post, our patriotic projects" (if you sing it to the tune of Star Spangled Banner, we promise it makes sense ;)

In non-musical form: Today the All that Stickles design team has created a variety of patriotic-themed projects using our favorite sparkly embellishment - Stickles!

I made a 4th of July box that would work great as a treat or favor box!

The box itself (not including the star topper) is about 2 inches by 2 inches, which is why it would be great for a few small pieces of candy. :) It's a cut from the Silhouette store and its cut out of Recollections cardstock. To embellish the sides of the box I used some star pearls and a "celebrate freedom!" sticker from SRM Stickers.

The top of the box slides together to form a star. For the inner star, I used dark blue cardstock and embossed it using my Cuttlebug and a polka dot embossing folder.

The patterned star paper is by The Paper Studio and the dark blue paper is the same as used on the top of the box. I distressed both layers with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink, and distressed the box itself with Fired Brick Distress Ink.

The chipboard letters I picked up at Hobby Lobby nearly two years ago, and they work great for projects like this that come around every once in a while. I embellished them with Picket Fence Distress Stickles to tone down their original brightness (although they look pretty bright in the pictures) and give them more of a distressed look.
