Kitty Bee Designs #106 - Halloween!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you! It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #106 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #106

Halloween!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge Star Stampz and The East Wind!!

Star Stampz - https://www.etsy.com/shop/StarStampz

and

The East Wind - http://etsy.com/shop/theeastwind

For this challenge I'm using an image from The East Wind - Lucy Loo Morning Coffee. Since I love coffee and Halloween, I figured this would be a fun card to make 😉

I coloured this sweet image in with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour markers - both alcohol based, and used a Spellbinders Nestabilities die to cut her out. To get the matted frame I used the same die, but traced a pencil line around it and cut that out by hand. I printed out the sentiment from the Craftin' Desert Divas Be Scary digi stamp set and hand cut it into a banner shape.

I had a lot of fun using the Fractured Ice embossing powder! It melts clear with speckles in it and looks so cool on this black raven from the Cricut Creative Bug cartridge!

Inside, I used some sentiments from the Pretty Cute Stamps Bewitched stamp set and added a coffee cup diecut from the Cricut cartridge Designer's Calender. A little skull sequin adds some fun spookiness! I love how the 'Brew' sentiment coordinates with the coffee theme!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenge to see all the inspiration from the other awesome Design Team members - and enter your own project HERE for a chance to win!! Have a wonderful weekend!

Inspiration Saturday!

Hello friends! We've had a busy week this week; we went to the local amusement park, to the wading pool, lots of park time, to see the Emoji Movie - which was a hit! and had a water balloon fight in the backyard. And, Amie, who's 10 has been baking up a storm! She made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, which were really good, on Wednesday, and has made scrambled eggs and regular, blueberry and almond flour pancakes Friday morning as well as a grilled cheese sandwich for herself for lunch. Her dad bought her a mini griddle and she already has tons of recipes pinned to try!

Here are some crafty inspiration sites, videos and freebies for you to check out!

1) I've really been enjoying finding some awesome home decor inspiration lately, and I was so impressed when I came across Bless'er House. You'll find some amazing 'drool-worthy' home decorating pics and tips on the Blog and Instagram feed! I'm warning you though, it's addictive!

2) Crafty Bit Creations has a great video tutorial showing four different Distress Oxide Ink backgrounds with the cutest mermaid stamps! I am loving playing with my first set of DOX inks, and I'm working on the second set!

3) Craftin Dessert Divas have their August New Release event going on right now, and depending on the number of attendees, Tara puts the occasional FREEBIE digi stamp up in the CDD Store! Every month they have a New Release Event, so it's worth following along to see all the awesome inspiration and pick up a couple free digi stamps! And who knows, you may even find a new stamp set you can't live without 😉

4) Dreaming Tree SVG has the most adorable Fairyville SVG Bundle out, and it's free with a $9.98 purchase. Details are in the link!

Kiss Me I'm Irish St. Patrick's Day Card!

Hi crafty friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend :) It was cold here so we stayed in on Saturday and had a crafty day - my favourite! I had downloaded this sweet Irish Kisses Digital Stamp image and sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas a while ago and figured I should put it together as a lovely card for one of my daughters! We have gotten into crafting and decorating a bit more for St. Patrick's Day the last couple years as the school always has a Leprechaun Trap contest and the girls like making some fun creations! My 10 year old actually refused to make a trap one year, but instead made a little B&B of sorts - just in case the leprechaun wanted to take a little relaxing break, lol ;)

After printing this cutie onto white cardstock I used Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers to colour her in. I coloured the shamrocks at the same time and then added some white gel pen highlights and a few drops of shiny Stickles.

I twirled some sparkly green thread around my fingers and tucked it under the pretty shamrock. A few lovely sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps add some more shiny fun!
