Stampers With an Attitude - Scaredy Cat - Blog Hop

This month Stampers With an Attitude are showing Scaredy Cat Artwork With an Attitude! This is a circular hop so if you have come from Jaimie's Blog blog you are right on track!
You are going to absolutely love this paper pack! The designs are fun, the colors bright and bold. You have no chance of making a card or scrapbook page that isn't fun!

I made two very similar cards for this hop -  only because when I turned the center portion of my card over to add the adhesive - I had cut the paper (unknowingly) in the perfect place! So I turned it back over and added the adhesive to the other side, and centered it on my card. It had the sweet little sentiment "By the Light of the Silvery Moon", (no need to add another), and the rustic fence! All I had to do was add the moon, bats and that cute little vampire! I love how this card turned out!

After that happy accident - I had to go back to my original idea and make another card. I am happy to report the original idea turned out just as cute! The ladies in my card club really enjoyed making this card during class. They added 'glittery' bats, and colored their cute little vampires with the new 'ShinHan' markers - IF they wanted to. Did I tell you how much I love the new markers??? They are amazing!
I hope you have as much fun making your Halloween cards as I did - Scaredy Cat makes so easy!

Convention Cards

What a fun time at convention this year! I just love Disneyland! And what a wonderful place to have a convention? Right? Fun Fun Fun!!!

This year I was blessed to help at one of the creative sessions! I was so excited when I got my email! My Mike asked if I was okay because I was just giddy! What fun! What an honor!

One of my friends got to help at a later one and we both agreed it was extremely hard to keep our secret, because we couldn't show anyone!!! Yikes - you all know how hard it is for me to keep quiet!

So here are the cards! They are made with our new upcoming Cricut cartridge Artfully Sent! It is all about cards. Sad part is (Provo Craft) the booklets won't be ready therefore the cartridge won't be available until September! So sad, but will totally be worth the wait! Now without further ado . . .

The cards are primarily  based on a 5x7 format. I can hardly wait to play around with it and see what they will be like at the standard 4.25x5.5 size! and here you also see one of the new colors - Flaxen! Amazing new basic color! I Love It!


YES the design is cut into to front of the card and you can back with any color you want! Here are two more new colors used, Canary and Glacier! Really nice new colors, aren't they?

 The last card is just downright fun, isn't it? Again the words are cut out of the front of the card as well as the clouds on the inside panels with the pop-up balloon! Just add a little stamping some blingy embellishments and voila - your card is done ~ As soon as our cartridge is available club members will be making this card!

Stampers With An Attitude Bling it On!

Welcome to Stampers With an Attitude's monthly Blog Hop! This month it is all about the bling! Something that is near and dear to my heart - and art!!!

Every one will be showing their best 'Bling it Up Artwork with an Attitude'! Because that's just the way we are! Blingy!!!

This month they are trusting me (of all the blingy people!) to start this hop! However if you started in the middle of this hop you have come from Denise Elliott's and you are on the right track.

Those of you who watch my blog know that I am mostly a card maker - but - I wanted to try something a little different this month. I wanted to make something for each of my children, something they could use (or not) inside or outside, but pretty - so this is what I came up with.

 

 I used the base and bling rings and made these darling napkin rings. The Kraft container holds extra napkins for the table. The roses were made with texture embossed paper and the swirls and hearts from the gorgeous glitter paper. And yes there is a red glitter gem in the center of each rose. Just a little glittery bling added to the 'blingy' glitter paper.

















I am sorry to say my camera quit working, at of all times - convention - so these pictures were taken with my phone, I really hoped the glitter from the paper and the center of the flower would show up better - guess I better buy an new camera!

The next blingin' blogger on this hop is Di Crawford check out her bling!

Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop! Gratitude with Attitude!

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop!  The blogger in front of me is Angela Garcia.

The Stampers with an Attitude are excited to show you our Gratitude with an Attitude artwork , so here we go.

My card was inspired by the scrapbook cover on page 130 the Close to My Heart 2013 Fall and Winter Idea Book.

Using our new Artbooking Cricut cartridge (Z1906) I cut out the awesome tree shown on page 72, using the Brown and Tan (Z1830) and Green (Z1847) glitter papers.  The trunk and some of the leaves from the Bronze glitter tree were used to fill in the trunk and some of the leaves. The remaining leaves were filled using Red Glitter Gel (Z1484) and Almond Glitter Gel (Z1769). Saddle (X5928) was used for the card base and Creme Brulee (X5754) is the accent color.

I love the contrast between the Burlap Ribbon (Z1760) and all the 'Glitter' on this card.

The next blogger on the hop is Sandra VanWoerden 

Have fun and Thanks for stopping by ~
