Odd ball Pairing

 

 

 

 

Soooo hello there...happy September! I have a couple of odd ball pairings here for you today made for
Vintage Street Market. 



   













I say odd ball because they are completely diffrent projects.  I made a sweet little vintagey plaque made from the sweet bingo cards in the craft pantry staples, some twirly twine, stick pins, garment pins, and a diecut from the ever favorite Dimestore Vintage.  The other project is an oh so cute Halloween treat bag! I used the polka dot paper from the Family fun pack, another bingo card from the craft pantry staples, more twirly twine, and a cute little diecut buckle from the Dimestore collection again.   Just some fun things to hopefully inspire you!  Happy weekend!  cherry

Jar full of spooky...

Happy September! I couldn't let a holiday go by with out filling up the the mason jar from The Rubber Cafe! This time with spooky stars for Halloween. I love how large this stamp is....you can fill it with just about anything. I used up some fun Halloween scraps and stamped my images and gave them some fussy cutting. I added some stitching with combinations of zig zag and straight stitching.

From there it was time to do a little embellishing. I added some glittered up chipboard stars and stacked some buttons on top. I also added some grunged up seambindings and halloween twine and a cute tag. The tag was perfect to add some black soot jellie dots to for added detail. I topped it off with a big chunky button and I was done. Hope you enjoy! hugs, cherry

Sweet treats....

 

 

September has come and will be gone before we know it....so now is the time to start creating up a storm for Fall and Halloween.   I had fun sorting through my Really Reasonable Ribbon and knew I had to play with the new mini pom pom trim .  It is soooo cute!  I made a set of two mini lollipop pockets and adorned them with the pom pom and sticker borders.  I used some old looking images and a few little toppings.  I also used orange seambindings  to add some fullness to each pocket.  I couldn't leave the lollipops plain jane so I added a bit of two tone textured ribbon in the orange with a bit of

black jute wound through the little stamped tags.  It made the lollipops a little more special!

I couldn't stop there though...you know me and halloween.  I decided to also make a plaque.  I fell in love with this pumpkin and created a rosette using my scor-pal. to set the pumpkin on top.  I love making rosettes using the scor-pal ...they turn out perfect everytime.  I used seam bindings again...this time using black and orange but I threw some of my orange into a vat of tea and let it sit overnight.  It came out darker and richer.  It is fun sometimes to alter your ribbons. I Love the outcome and will be doing this again.  So what do you think?  Are you ready to bring the Fall  on?   Lol...hope you have enjoyed! Happy September! hugs, cherry

 

Back to School Theme with RRR

Well........it is September 1st, which means it is time for a fun challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This time it is a "back to school theme with ribbon".   I hate to admit it but I can feel a bit of a chill in the air..especially at night.  It is definantly time to start thinking about the new school year, books, new clothes....the list goes on.  Although I hate to see Summer go I love to create for this time of year.  I decided to do a teacher thank-you with old fashion charm.  I used red and cream seambindings and a bit of Penelope crochet lace at the bottom of my card.  Remember you have a chance to win a prize if your creation is picked for the challenge.  It must have ribbon on it and it can be any type of project you want.  Make sure to check out the RRR blog for more inspiration from the other gals playing along!   Happy labor day to you all!  hugs, cherry

They're creepy and they're spooky

                  For some reason I have the Addam's Family in my head....I wonder why?   Maybe because I can't stop creating for Halloween.  Not even if my life depended on it.  I LOVE to create for the holidays...all of them.  Each time a holiday rolls around I think THIS IS MY FAVORITE one...and than the next comes and I change my mind again. For now it is Halloween that has me happy. We will keep it at that for now.
                     So  I thought I would share just a few of the things I have been making.  A halloween pocket ..why of course.  Full of delightful little goodies...I like to think each tag tells it's own little story.  Halloween brings out the imagination in us all.  I really think that is why it is so fun to create for it.  As always I had fun stuffin the pocket...letting them peek over the edge.  I also made a stamped card.  I recently got some stamps  from Wplus9.  I paired them with my mason jar.  Love the outcome.  Mixing and matching stamps makes their uses go so much farther.  Sorry for the lighting , it is still a bit smoky here.   It is getting better , thank-goodnes!  Well that is it for me....I have been organizing my craft room.  As always thank-you for visiting me.  hugs, cherry

New Release Blog Hop with The Rubber Cafe...

 

 

 

 

             Oh boy howdy am I behind.   The last couple of days have been horrible for me .  We have fires in the surrounding areas and I am allergic to it.  It looks like we live in LA.  Sooo happy though that I was able to get in a fun project using the new releases from The Rubber Cafe. 
We are celebrating our new release called On the Fence! This set comes with a new exclusive The Rubber Café die template manufactured by Spellbinders Paper Arts called On the Fence Die!



Today is day #3 I am blog hopping with   Michelle so go check out her fab creations! If you want to start from the beginning just simply go back to the the rubber Cafe blog.   I decided to go all wintery with my card....I embossed the fence and the window and fussy cut everything out.  I also drew a very light circle and  used the mini ivy and created a christmas wreath for the window.  I added some holly berry red jellie dots to the wreath as well.  I broke out my faux snow to add to the whole scene..so  much fun to work with.  Last but not least I added the merry christmas in bold sentiment.  Hope you enjoy!  hugs,c herry
