SBS Ribbon Swap Hop

Hello Crafty Friends and SBS Friends!

 

Welcome to the Simply Betty Stamps Ribbon Swap Hop!

 

The SBS Fan Group on Facebook love to not only create, inspire, and share, but we also love to swap!  For this swap we exchanged a package of ribbons and trims.

 

You should have come from Tanja's blog, but if not and you want to start at the beginning, hop on over to the SBS blog.

 

Here is what my swap buddy Sheri sent me.

 

 

 

Lots of fun textures to add to future cards and projects!  I can already see a few that would be perfect for SBS Halloween cards!

 

Thanks Sheri!

 

Your next stop in Summer's blog.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

 

Grillin' and Chillin' Blog Hop

If you are looking for the Christmas in July Blog Hop, go here.

 

Welcome to the Grillin' and Chillin' Blog Hop!



If you came from Michele's blog, then you're on the right track.  If not, you want to hop on over to the start, Lisa's blog.  You aren't going to want to miss anything!

Today we are sharing with you Cook Out related projects. 

For my project, I made a 3D pineapple drink.  You can't have a BBQ without refreshments, right?  One of my faves happens to be Malibu and juice on ice.

The pineapple is from the "Fruity Fiesta" kit by SVG Cuts, cut with my Cameo.
The top comes off and you could fill it with goodies, but I like to pretend that there is an ice cold beverage inside.

The sentiment is from the "Happy Summer" stamp set by Jaded Blossom.

I'm having so much fun making these 3D projects!

JB Christmas in July Challenge

Hello again!

 

Click here if you are looking for the Forgotten Treasures Blog Hop.

 

This project was made for the current Jaded Blossom challenge, Christmas in July.  As crafters, it's never too early to start thinking about, planning, and starting on projects for the Holidays.

 

I made a cute Elf Fry Box that holds some peppermint candies.  This would also be cute to hold a few baked Holiday cookies.  There is also a Santa version that I think I'm going to use to make treats for my co-workers.  (Yep, planning ahead) :)

 

 

Isn't it cute?!

 

The fry box is a cut file from SVG Cutting Files.

Patterned paper is from the "Merry Christmas" pack by Echo Park.

The candies are decorated using stamps fro the Jaded Blossom "Christmas Candies" stamp set.
The trim is embossed with the "Swiss Dots" Cuttlebug embossing folder.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is my project:
 

 

I love washi tape and have lots of it but haven't used it.  I found a similar card on the ScrapbookSteals.com blog and thought it was the perfect way to use all the tape that I've been collecting.

 

I love the way it turned out!

 

I just cut strips of washi tape and stuck them diagonally across a piece of white card stock until I had it covered.  I used a craft knife and ruler to clean up all the edges.  Then I added a black mat behind it before adhering it to the card front.  I also added a sentiment using the Jaded Blossom "Candy Charms and Banners" die, and stamp from the "Sweet Birthday Wishes" set.  I also added a black mat behind the banner.

 

 

I hope you're finding lots of inspiration to use up the forgotten treasures in your craft space.

Thank you for stopping by!

SBS Summer Fairy

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

If you are looking for the Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop, click here.

 

I want to share with you a card I made for the Simply Betty Stamps fan page challenge.  The challenge is to use the Summer Fairy image drawn by Betty and create a background. 

 

Here is what I made.

 

 

I was going for the summer night.  It's hard to see in pictures, but the black cardstock has a faint and sparkly floral pattern stamped on it, using a Versamark ink pad.  The image is from the Jaded Blossom "Simple Sayings, Valentine Edition".

 

The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom "Simple Sayings 2" stamp set.

Spellbinders, Wonky Rectangles

ribbon

flat back sticky pearls

 

I really like this image and can't wait to "think outside my box" and try multiple color combinations.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

For my project, I made a Freedom Ice Cream Cone!

The cone is an svg from SVG Cuts, and I got the idea from another crafter who turned the single scoop into a triple!  I mean, who wants to choose just one flavor?!

 

Supplies:

Ice Cream Birthday svg set

Jaded Blossom "Patriotic Candies" stamps, colored with markers

tiny stars embossing folder

various red, white, and blue papers

sticky star gems as the 'sprinkles'
