Eclectic Ellapu October Challenge - Shabby Chic or Vintage



The October challenge at Eclectic Ellapu is Shabby Chic or Vintage!

For my card, I used the Friendships Journey retired stamp set from Stampin' Up.  I die cut the image and layered it on die cuts.  The layering cardbase panel is from my paper stash.  I embellished my shabby chic card using Prima Flowers and May Arts leaves along with a Martha Stewart butterfly and pearls.

We hope you'll share your shabby chic and/or vintage cards / projects with us.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Altered Eclectics October Challenge


The October challenge at Altered Eclectics is always anything goes as long as it is Mixed Media projects, Altered Art, Upcycled, Recycled projects.  No cards, scrapbook pages, or ATCs.

For my project, I used this plain wall switch plate and altered it using alcohol inks and rub-ons as shown above!

We hope you'll share your altered art with us at Altered Eclectics Challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Fall Coffee Lovers Challenge



For this coffee lover's project I used the MFP Oh Beans stamp set.  I stamped and embossed the beans stamp to create the background.  The sentiment panel was stamped and die cut using the MFT Stitched Square Stax die.  Embellished with some checked ribbon and the coffee cup was die cut using the Spellbinders Hipster 1 dies.

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Fall Harvest


The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge theme is Fall Harvest (tractors, apples, corn, pumpkins, scarecrows, sunflowers, etc.)

For my card, I chose to create a pumpkin shaped card using Spellbinders Pumpkins dies, using an embossing folder to give some texture.  I embellished using a flower I pulled from an old floral stem along with a cluster of glass balls and tendrils.  The sentiment is from the Big Pumpkin MFP stamp set and die cut using a banner die.

We hope you'll share your Fall Harvest projects with us at The Sisterhood of Crafters.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 5



An easy peasy gift card holder for a coffee lover!

I used a flattened bathroom tissue tube as the base of my gift card holder; wrapped some designer paper around it, added a bow closure on one end and left the other end open to insert the gift card.  The coffee is a die from The Ton, the cup is a stamp from A Muse ArtStamps called To Go Cup.  The stitched round dies are from Gina Marie Designs.

I'm entering my gift card holder project in the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.
