October Design-abilities Blog Hop - Trick Or Treat Wall Hanging

Hello and welcome to the first Design-abilities Blog Hop! We are the Spellbinders® Blog Team and we wanted to do something fresh, fun and creative to bring our team together. But before we get started we want to let you know this blog hop is just for fun and creative inspiration we are not sponsored by Spellbinders Paper Arts®. Starting this month we are going to do a Blog Hop every other month (on the 16th) and we will have a link list to all of the Designer. Sometimes we might not all be able to participate but we would still encourage you to visit all of the Blog Team Members and check out their blogs. You will find all kinds of ideas for die cutting, papercrafting, mixed media, DIY projects, jewelry, home decor, lots of tutorials and techniques. As designers we are always inspired by each other and we hope to inspire you too.

For my project I altered a 5 x 5 frame for Halloween. I love to decorate for Halloween and this little altered frame is the perfect home decor piece. I painted the frame with black acrylic paint. Then I added a piece of pattern paper to the center. I used S4-126 Classic Squares Large, S4-295 Lacey Squares die templates to die cut the cute little witch image. All of the pattern paper is from the Authentique Thrilling 6 x 6 paper pad. I used 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® in between the die cut layers.

I added a fun flower cluster in the top corner using some of the WOC Flowers in Halloween colors. To create the leaves I used S2-049 Corner Sprigs. The little leaf sprig die cuts are perfect to use with the flowers and the size of the leaves is just right. I think this might be my favorite new die template set! I also added some diamond Stickles for a little sparkle.

On the side of the frame I added another flower cluster, some Black Seam Binding and a MB3-001S Circle Hatpin-Silver. The image in the hatpin is also from the Authentique Thrilling 6 x 6 paper pad. I also added a few beads to the hatpin.

To create the hatpin I used the MD1-007 Circles One die template to die cut the image. Then I added a little glossy accents in the hatpin and added the image. To top it off I added a clear epoxy circle sticker. I have had these stickers for a few years and I am not sure which company they are from but I am sure if you do a goggle search these will pop up.

Here is a close up of the hatpin.

Paris Canvas Handbag with Dangle Charm

Hello blogging friends! I know it has been a few days since my last post. I am still trying to get caught up on things since I was gone for a few days at ScrapFest. I think my get up and go left me at ScrapFest--LOL--I have been so darn tired the past several days.

Today, I have an altered canvas bag to share with you using some of my favorite products from

Fun Stampers Journey, Spellbinders Creative Arts®, ButterBeeScraps' and Lavish Laces. I altered this canvas bag before I went out of town but just didn't have enough time to get it posted before I left. I created a charm dangle using some of the hatpin bezels from Spellbinders Creative Arts®. Then I added beautiful lace from Lavish Laces and I did some stamping using images from Fun Stampers Journey.

Here is a close up of the dangle charm. I die cut several canvas flower shapes using S5-050 Rose Creations die template. When cutting the canvas I used the Artisan X-plorer and the Artisan X-plorer Metal Shim in with the plates. This is the sandwich (plates) I used-- A Base Plate on the bottom, place the Spellbinders Artisan X-plorer Metal Shim on it. Add media on top of the metal shim and put Spellbinders die template on top with the cut side facing down. Cover with either Pink Embossing Plate or Raspberry Spacer Plate (depending on thickness of sandwich). To color the flower I used pink nail polish and white acrylic paint. Once that was dry I added a top coat of Pure Ice Dazzle Me 1005 nail polish. For the leaves I used Silver Filigree Embellishment (Item #068-P) from ButterBeeScraps'. I cut the metal filigree piece and glued them to the back of the flower. For the flower center I used a MB3-001S Circle Hatpin-Silver. I cut down the size of the pin and used the Loop Tool to create the loop to hang the charms from. I filled the bezel with silver glass glitter and ICE Resin and adhered it to the center of the flower.

Here is a close up so you can see the loop on the MB3-001S Circle Hatpin-Silver.

Here is a close up of the dangle charm. I used MB3-004S Diamond Hatpin-Silver, MD1-014 Diamonds One Die #1, MB3-003S Square Hatpin-Silver from Spellbinders Creative Arts® to create the charms. The images in the bezels are from Piddix. These are great little images and match the size of the bezels perfectly. I also used some Blue Moon Beads a division of DCWV and Rhinestone Rondelle Spacer Beads (Item #BD010-P/CL) from ButterBeeScraps' and a piece of rhinestone chain.

I used a couple of stamps from the Love Paris #SS0008 stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey for the images on the canvas bag. To stamp the images I used StazOn Jet Black ink from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. Then I added a rhinestone flourish and I covered the front of the bag with Pure Ice Dazzle Me 1005 nail polish.

For the top of the bag I added some gorgeous Venise White Fancy Fringe Lace Trim from Lavish Laces. Then I added some pink Blue Moon Beads a division of DCWV to dangle down from the lace. To finish off the top of the canvas bag I added some ruffle trim and white rosette trim from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you like my altered Paris canvas handbag with the dangle charm.

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Grand Birthday Sentiments Cling Stamp Set - JustRite Papercraft September New Release Day 4

Hello everyone! It's Day 4 of the JustRite Papercraft September New Release. Do you have some of the New Releases on your wish list? Today, I have one of the new cling stamp sets to share with you.

Here is the CL-04745 Grand Birthday Sentimens Cling Stamp Set from JustRite Papercraft. This is a perfect sentiment stamp to say Happy Birthday. But a few of the sentiments could also be used for all occasion cards for friends.

Here is the card that I designed. Now I have to be honest and tell you this card was a little out of my comfort zone. I know that this color combination is very popular right now but these aren't colors I usually use together. But I think it is good to step out of the comfort zone every now and then. ;-) The pattern paper is from Fancy Pants ParkBench 6 x 6 Paper Pad . I used several die templates to create all of the shapes and layers on the card. I used three die templates from the Card Creator sets--S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A, S5-132 Matting Basics B, S5-194 Pearl Effects. I also used S5-191 Labels Twenty-Eight die templates.

I stamped the sentiment, die cut and then I airbrushed using Copic marker N5 Neutral Gray.

Here is a close up of the hatpin. This was so quick and easy to make! I simply die cut a piece of the pattern paper using MD1-007 Circles One and then I used a 3D Foam Squares inside the MB3-001S Circle Hatpin-Silver. Place the die cut circle of the pattern paper on top, add a piece of bling and some glossy accents. Easy peasy!
