Craft Show

I'm going to be in my first craft show at the Midtown Atrium next Saturday, November 6th from 10-1. I will have Christmas, Hanukkah, Birthday, Thank You and All Occasion cards and tags for sale.

I'm inviting all my Sigonella friends to stop by and see me at Table #8!

Here's a sampling of a few of the items that will be for sale:

Papertrey Playhouse Challenge #3

The challenge this time was to use tags on your card. I decided to use two, one big and one small. Love those little tags to add just a small saying.

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI YOF: Morning Glories, PTI Fancy Flourishes, PTI Mega Mixed Messages

Ink: Versamark, Navy Blue

Cardstock: PTI Enchanted Evening, PTI Rustic White, PTI Dotty Biscotti

Other: Copic markers, Embossing powder, Seam binding, Button

PTI October Blog Hop

This month's blog hop is dedicated to those that celebrate winter holidays other than Christmas. The challenge was to create a project that celebrates Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or some other winter holiday as we embrace everyone's beliefs in a celebration of diversity through paper crafting.

Here's my card for this month's blog hop:

I drew the base of the Menorah in the cutting program for my Klic-N-Kut. I have the SVG file if anyone is interested. The candles were hand cut and the flames hand drawn with a copic marker and then stickles over the top. Hardest part was getting those letters lined up!

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Fresh Alphabet

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Cardstock: PTI Enchanted Evening, PTI Dark Chocolate, PTI Soft Stone

Other: Copic marker, Stickles

Holiday Thinking Inking Challenge 1

I am a HUGE fan of Jennifer McGuire so I had to participate in her newest addition to the Thinking Inking videos over on TwoPeas. I had a lot of fun playing with my distress inks to make this card.

Lots of sparkle added to those trees!

I used the Waltzing Mouse Sketch #18 for this card.

Supplies:
Stamps: WMS Nutcracker Sweet, HA Four Leaf Grid

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Inks

Paper: Neenah Classic Solar White

Other: Stickles, Glossy Accents

Papertrey Playhouse Challenge #1

I know it's not very original to make felt clouds but I've had this card in my head ever since I saw this card months ago on A Passion for Papertrey blog.

Can't believe I waited so long to buy this little airplane set. I mean my husband is a pilot - you would have thought it would have gone in my shopping cart the day it was released. I made this simple card for him since he's been flying so much the past month.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Fly Away, PTI Tiny Treats: Valentine

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Neenah Classic Solar White

Other: Felt, Copics

Waltzingmouse Challenge

Here's my card for the World Card Making Day challenge on Claire's blog using a beautiful digital stamp she created:

I don't have any Copics for skin tones so I had to break out my Prismacolor pencils. I forgot how much more work it is to color with those! By the time I finished coloring little Harriet, I was tired and so this card is pretty simple. Now off to shop for some new Copics.

Betsy's Card Creations Challenge

Betsy Veldman has a challenge on her blog right now to pick a non-holiday card from the pages of Card Creations Vol. 8 and create a holiday card based on that design. I'm not a big Christmas card maker but this seemed like a fun way to use my new stamp set from Waltzingmouse.

I used this Missing You Trees Card by Renee Morris-Dezember, pg. 87

Supplies:
Stamps: WMS Nutcracker Sweet, Hero Arts Flourish Background

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, VersaMark

Paper: PTI Kraft, PTI Vintage Cream

Other: Copics
