Tricks Or Treats???

Happy Halloween everyone....do you think there are tricks or treats inside of my box??  I have a fun little Trick or Treat box to share with you today.  I had a box in my stash that I think a pair of earrings came in, and I thought it was the perfect size to put a few little candy bars in or even spider rings or something cute!

This is how the box turned out.


I used the Masquerade Party collection for this one.  On the lid of the box and the box itself I used the "Webs" paper the orange chevron side.  I simply cut the paper slightly smaller then the box and adhered it with Xyron Mega Runner.  For the sides of the lid I used the stripes from the "Trick Or Treat" paper.  To embellish the lid the "H" with Halloween across it is actually from the small treat bag.  I cut it down and matted it on black cardstock.  I popped this up on the upper right corner of the box.  The fun little ticket was cut from one of the borders.  I embellished it with a brad and one of the die cuts from the sheet.  Once I was done with the I tied a little solid black twine around it from The Twinery. You can grab all of the supplies needed to create this from The Scrapbooking Studio online store!


Supplies Used:
Teresa Collins - Masquerade Party
The Twinery - Solid Charcoal Twine

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

Joy } Xyron & Maya Road Team Up

Good morning everyone, this week Xyron and Maya Road have been teaming up for a fun week of inspiration!!

So for some reason I have been in the Holiday spirit lately....I know it's early and I think it's because it snowed here a little last week.  I always wait until the last minute to start my Christmas cards, and then yes they never get done on time to send out so I stop making them!  I thought maybe if I started early this year I might get them out on time.  Now I have one down and tons more to go :)  Here is the card that I created for this swap.

I used Bazzill Nordic Pine collection for the paper line.  I placed the paper on the background and then using a different sheet cut out the shape using a Sizzix die Cameo Frame.  I popped that up using the foam squares from the Xyron Teresa Collins Adhesive kit.  Before I placed that shape down on the card I used the Maya Road Red Twine and tied it around the shape.  I took some Maya Road tulle ribbon and made a little flower then placed the Maya Road Vintage Trinket in the center.  The chipboard letters I painted with Art Anthology Truflle Velvet Dimensional Paint and then adhered them to the card using my Xyron High Tack Tape.  Once the letters were on the card I put little dabs of Art Anthology Cotton Velvet Dimensional paint to give it a snow effect.

Supplies Used:
Xyron - Mega Runner, TC Adhesive foam squares & High Tack Tape
Maya Road - Vintage Trinkets, Ribbon, Red Twine & Chipboard Letters
Bazzill - Nordic Pine collection
Art Anthology - Paints (Cotton & Truffle)
Sizzix - Cameo Frame

Spooktacular Mini } TCD Masquerade Party

Hello everyone,  I'm going to share a fun mini album I created with the spooktacular new Masquerade Party collection from Teresa Collins Designs.  This collection is so fun I just love everything about this line. I created this album for my sister in law using their Halloween photos from last year.

Here is a view of the album itself.  I created this album using the three larger file folders, 2 of the bags, and the packaging from the bags as well.  The binding it done with the We R Memory Keepers Cinch machine and coils.  The ribbon tied on the side is May Arts ribbon that I had in my stash.

This front cover I used the small file folder and embellished it with one of the white bags, a few enamel dots, die cuts and chipboard sticker.


The inside of the cover I placed a spot for journaling.  You can see the first page inside is one of the bags.  It's such a perfect page for any mini album.  I had a few photos left over and you can see that I simply matted the photo and stuck it right in the bag!


The medium file folder is the next page.  On all of the file folders I placed adhesive along the top and bottom to create more pockets throughout the album.  There is a journaling spot behind the photo that slides out.  This is a fun way to add plenty of journaling spots in your albums.  All you do is place adhesive along the sides and bottom of the photo and it holds your journaling cards.


A Halloween party is not complete without treats!  You can even add the recipe on the journaling card, or place it inside the file folder pocket.  I loved the design on the packaging on the right side below, so I turned that into a page as well and covered the flip side with pattern paper.




The last page of the album is the largest file folder that comes in the pack.  This one is so fun and I really didn't want to cover much up so I added the photo then placed the amazing chipboard frame around it.


The entire album is embellished with all of the fabulous goodies that go with the line.  I added a few enamel dots here and there.  Mix the die cut tabs throughout your mini albums and add a staple here and there and you have one amazing mini!

Supplies Used:
Teresa Collins - Masquerade Party Collection
Xyron Adhesive - Mega Runner
We R Memory Keepers - Cinch
May Arts - Misc Ribbon

EEK } Getting Inky with Art Anthology, Basically Bare & Authentique

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to share with you my first creation on the fabulous Art Anthology blog.  This week the DT is rockin' a fabulous swap with Authentique and Basically Bare.  I created a mini album for this one using a Basically Bare Bare Booklet, Authentique Thrilling Collection and tons of Art Anthology goodies.....can I just tell you I totally love it!!  I can't wait to carve pumpkins so I can add my photos to it.
SONY DSC
You can see at the top of the cover I used a chicken wire stencil and used the Juicy Colorations Spray.  Before I placed the spider and EEK on the cover I then lightly sprayed a little Radier over the top. 
SONY DSC
The spider and the letters "EEK" I cut out of grungepaper using a couple of Sizzix dies. I painted the spider with Tuxedo Dimensional Paint and EEK with Kenyan Dimensional Paint.  I popped those up on the cover with foam pop dots.
SONY DSC
Now for a little peak at the inside of the album. I did a little fussy cutting on the owl, cat & hat on the lower right page of the album.  The moon behind them was so cool but I added some Sunbeam Dimensional Crystal to it.  I simply set that aside to dry while I finished the rest of my book, then popped that up on the page once it was dry.
SONY DSC
I love adding journaling spots in my albums from the paper collections as pages.
SONY DSC
SONY DSC
The next page of the album I sprayed both sides of the acrylic piece using Timeless Coloration Spray.  I actually sprayed one side at a time and I did heat set it before flipping it over to do the other side.
SONY DSC
Here is a close up and hopefully you can see it better, it just gives the acrylic a fun look.
SONY DSC
Up next is the last page of the album, a place for another photo and an element cut out using the Forewarn sheet from the Authentique Thrilling collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my very first project using Art Anthology, hop on over to the AA blog and see all the amazing creations from the team!

Hello everyone today i'm going to share a card with you that I created for my little sister.  It's been a tough week here as she and her husband have moved to Texas!  I'm sad to see her go, but so very proud of her.  I now have a new place to vacation to :)

Here is the card that will be making its way to Texas.

On this card I used the new Memorabilia collection.  I simply love this line, and the colors are amazing!  I started with the base of the card being 4 1/4" x 6".  I cut the blue pattern paper (the back side of the "frames" paper) to 4" x 5 3/4".  Pop that up on the card base, then adhere the the Quartrefott paper cut to 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" center on the lbue paper.

You can embellish the card with the border strips ( i used the blingy gold scallop one) across the upper part of the card.  I cut a strip of paper and made a little banner piece to go over the gold border.  Then it was time to embellish.  You can see that I used the rockin' smile brad....have you seen these???  I mean really they are gold not silver...AMAZING!!  I also cut a few little banner pieces from the "Labels" sheet and placed those in the upper right corner.  Tied a little bow using Twinery Twine and embellished that with one of the buttons and enamel dots.  Here are a couple of close up pics for you.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the corsage pins with this line.  I just added a few of the sequins onto the pin before sticking it in the foam pop dot behind the banner.


Supplies Used:
TC - Memorabilia collection
Xyron  - TC Adhesive Kit
The Twinery Twine - Solid Charcoal
Ranger - Distress Ink (walnut stain)

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, have a fabulous day!

Thinking Of You

Hey there everyone, thanks for stopping by today.  This week Xyron is teaming up with Core'dinations to bring you tons of inspiration!  I have a tutorial of how I created this tag so that you can give it a try.  Here is the finished tag for you to see first.


So to start with I used Core'dinations Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Shattered collection and cut a piece out.  I then used the Sizzix Tag & Bookplates die to cut the tag out.



Next emboss the tag using the Sizzix Wood Planks Set.

The next step is to take the Core'dinations sand-it block and sand off the embossed design.

Run you embossed tag through the Xyron 3" Sticker Marker and adhere it to a Ranger size #8 Manila tag to make it a little more sturdy.

Take any Ranger distress ink (I used Walnut Stain) and ink the edges and also ink the embossed sanded parts of the tag.

Using the Core'dinations Chocolate Box papers stamp "thinking of you" image from the Stampers Anonymous set using Ranger Jet Black Archival ink on the paper.

Cut out the sentiment and use the sand it block to rough up the edges and a little across the sentiment.

Now it's time for the fun part.  Decorate your tag using any embellishments you want.  I used a mixture of seam binding, misc moss, Petaloo flowers & leaves.  I adhered all of this using the Xyron/TC Adhesive Kit liquid glue.  I also popped up the sentiment using the foam squares from the kit.
Here is a close up photo for you.  You can add memo pins or stick pins when you have placed all of your embellishments down for an added little touch.


Supplies Used:
Ranger - Wild Honey distress ink, Jet Black Archival ink, #8 manila tag
Stampers Anonymous- Simple Sayings
Canvas Core- canvas
Petaloo - Paprika flowers & leaves medium
Sizzix - Wood plank embossing set, Tags & Bookplates die
Misc - seambinding & moss
