More Mini Boxes

Published by Kimberly under 3-D

Well, I showed you yesterday a fun Mini box, and here is another one. This was actually the orignial project for my stamp camp that I had yesterday.  It was postponed from July because of a family emergency.  When I was putting it together for this month I noticed a few retired items so I decided to redo the entire thing and used the Pocket Silouettes you have seen HERE.  This uses the Doodle This stamp set.  As you can see I added some of the Pretties Kit to it as well. 

 

Mini Box Thank You.

Here you can see one of the cards I made to go in the box.  The cards are only 3 1/2 x  31/2.  I just watercolored them using a blender pen and put a half back pearl in the center. 

 

Hope you enjoy and have a fabulous weekend.

Saturday Night Stamping!

Published by Kimberly under 3-D, Altered Items, Big Shot

I kept busy all day today.  We started with a craft show earlier today and then tonight I had my monthly stamp camp.  WOW! It was a full house and as always lots of laughs.  I thought I would share some of the projects with you.

This little Mini Box is just adorable with the cards inside.  I love using Kraft cardstock as it goes with EVERYTHING!  I used the stamp set Pocket Silhouettes (which by the way is ON SALE for 15% Off!).  Using a little White Craft ink and Irridescent Ice just added the wow factor to the front of the box.

Next we made this adorable Triangle Card using the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set.  Are you CRAZY for this stamp set yet?  I just love it.  This was a really fun card.

 

Last project we made was a bit busy but I think they liked it.  Coaster Hanger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Coaster Hanger "thing" was not easy to photograph so bare with me.  Using coasters we covered them with Maine Blueberry DSP and I used many of the Big Shot dies to make this project.  I used the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and cut each of the butterfly’s out.  (I don’t think they liked me for that. LOL!)  But look how those butterflies look like they are going to start flying off my coaster!!

Here are a few more close up pictures!

Hey Cupcake!

Published by Kimberly under Cards

Oh, I am really excited about this stamp set.  I know I say this about all of them, but really I do love this one.  I love cupcakes and I love stamps with cupcake images.  I have eyeballed so many other company stamps with this image and said No, No, No!  Then Stampin’ Up! came out with this one and I squealed.  Very exciting. Tonight I finally was able to put a little ink to the rubbah!  YIPPIE!  Total quick card, but hey… it was able to get inky!

 

Hey Cupcake

 

My base is Chocolate Chip CS and Pink Pirouette Patterns Designer Paper.  Isn’t it pretty?  So soft. I stamped my cupcakes on WW with Black Stazon and then used a blender pen to color the image.  Not much coloring really.  The fluffy part of the cupcake has Dazzling Diamonds on it.  Doesn’t it look fluffy now? Lastly, I used some of the new 1" Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon in Chocolate Chip and the new Clip Assortment.  Oh, this just makes me HAPPY!!

 

Hope you have great plans for the weekend and find time to stamp!  I know I will. 

Ta Ta!

Holiday Confusion!

Published by Kimberly under 3-D, Altered Items, Big Shot

This time of year always gets crazy in my stamp studio.  Hopefully you can keep up with me.  I get a little confused on the Holidays and love to play with Halloween, Christmas and Fall stuff!  The kids are a little confused too.  Alexis thinks Halloween is next week for the way my stamp room looks.  I have to admit that Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays to stamp for.  I think because there are so many cute "treat" covers you can make.  Each year I find more and more.  I have a class coming up this fall called Spooky Treats.  It will be all about making those candies a little spooky!  Here is one I played with today.  Skull Head

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see the cute lollipop hangin inside.  Very fun.  Love this years Halloween paper Ghostly Greetings. 

 

Next I had a some of my Choxie Chocolate from Target.  This is my 50 cent per piece candy that no one can touch or I will bite them.  Ya know, it’s all about the packaging and this little chocolate is perfect to wrap our designer paper around.  It’s just expensive stuff.  No one would want to eat this anyways as I recycled it and re wrapped it from the last DSP that was on it.  Shhh… don’t tell.  LOL! They sure do look cute in my tin.  Boo Tin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, let me tell you a little abou the "BOO" Banner!  I decided to try something I was a little scared about.  I took one of our small On Board Book Basics and rolled my Top Note Die through the Big Shot.  Now, while this is fancy schmancy chipboard, it is a little thick but ended up rolling right through without problems.  I covered it with Ghostly Greetings DSP and then used my Chills & Thrills Rub On’s for the "BOO" part.  I attached a little Kiwi Kiss ribbon at the top and stuck a scewer onto it and stuck it in the tin.  Just another cute candy thingie to put in my house.  I am sure the kids will be tempted to eat my good chocolate so this better stay near me!!
