Glitter that Anya

Hi Everyone!

This evening I was able to work on a A2 sized card. The rubber stamp is from The Greeting Farm (some of my top favorite stamps.) I used Anya Celebrates  http://thegreetingfarm.com/rubber-stamps/anya-ian/anya-gives.html

I wanted had to use some used glitter on this card.

Valentines Bucket Swap Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all are having fun seeing what our swap buddies gave each other. If you're coming from Wendy's blog www.jazzydoodledesigns.com then you're in the right place. If you're just coming over to visit (awww thank you very much) please head on over to Simply Betty's Blog. The hop line-up is at the bottom of this post. 

My swap buddy was Roz from Florida, very nice lady. Can't belive how many things we have in common from tv shows, to food, plants and crafting ;) Roz got me all of these goodies many which I have not used before and wanted to get but hadn't yet. 

Love my goodies Thank you so much Roz.
This is her blog
http://www.wolfepak5.blogspot.com/
show her some crafty love :)
___________________________________________________________

I got a bucket online and the things I got a little to happy buying didn't fit

on her bucket so I decided to make her an Valentine's Day heart box

with the colors I think she'd like from what she posted on SBS fan site on FB.
The box is like 10"x11"
and I used one of Simply Betty's Digital stamps
My Funky Valentine Betty digi

I painted the heart and roses I made with pearlescent acrylic paint

but it's hard to tell from the pictures. Everything is very shimmery.

 Note* I forgot to add the colorbox that's in the heartbox :(

but I added a bag of Tootsie Rolls before I took it to the post office.

Roz stated she loves dogs so I bought these peachy keen face stamps

I hope she loves them 'cause I don't have those myself. LOL

Those are some of the flowers I made and hand painted as well.

At Simply Betty I'm noticing that there are many many Steampunk

challenges and digis so I decided to go that route when buying the goodies. 

I bought some of those things for myself and I haven't done steampunk besides

this heart box but hopefully I'll be able to start learning this Steampunk style.

I wasn't a Halloween person but Betty's images are so cute... I think I'm a bit

of a Halloween convert lol.

Anyway enough chatter from me... can you tell I'm at home with kids all day?

Heehee... next up is Stacey http://anastasiasarts.blogspot.com/ . Enjoy the hop everyone!

& thanks for visiting.

Kids Cricut Valentine's Day cards 2013

Hi there Crafty Peeps!

A little late posting on my blog... some of you gals may have seen these on Facebook where I posted before Valentine's day. These are the little cards I made for my Kindergartner daughter:

Using Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge and a Peachy Keen Stamp for the eye

Using Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge and Peachy Keen Stamp for the face

 The little cards measured 3.5" x 4"

from an 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock I made 

3 cards and only had to trim off half an inch.

Originally I made 17 boy cards and 8 girl cards

but the decided to make a few more (not pictured)

Along with the cards she gave Valentine's Day heart candy boxes.

Yup, there were lots of cards but surprisingly didn't take as long as 

coloring. I "coached" my daughter into choosing characters that

didn't have too many layers... 'cause at first she wanted Hello Kitty 

cards for all of the girls. If I hadn't started as late as I did I sure would 

have 'cause I love Hello Kitty. Maybe next time... Easter maybe.

Thanks for visiting.

Christmas card swap hosted by Cricut Crafts

Hi Everyone!

I'm back for a little while.... Just wanted to show the cards I made for a Christmas Card Swap I joined. It was a small group which was good for me because of family life adjustments here and there (new baby) but I really wanted to join something this year. It ended up being 6 of us total so I only had to make 5 cards but I made an extra card which I will mail out to a Hello Kitty fan/bloggy friend lol. Anyway, here are my Hello Kitty snow globe cards:

I hadn't really used my Cricut in a long time and on top of that I hadn't

used my Hello Kitty cartridge in a really long time.  

 The cards measure 5x7. 

Carts I used are: Hello Kitty Greetings, Create a Critter and Joys of the Season.

I used Stikles for the falling snow holes. 

The snowflakes are from Martha Stewart's Aspen Snowflake around the page punch set .

The Hello Kitty rubber stamp on the envelope is from Target.

The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is from My Creative Time.

The Buttons on Hello Kitty's coat are from Viva Decor Pearl Pens. 

Here is a close up of the card. I mailed all of these in 

cellophane envelopes so that my recipients were able to use

blank envelopes... I mailed them all out on the 1st of December 

I hope all of the ladies have received them. I'm still waiting for one card.

The ladies are: Lourdes (swap host), Luz, Jessie, Gloria, Gina and myself (Katya)

You can request to join the facebook group at:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/cricutcrafts/

There are a lot of talented ladies there. 

Some even have YouTube videos with tutorials.

I love the cards I received. I hope I wasn't too bad for my first swap

and hope they liked the cards I made for them. 

Can you believe my daughter Jade got to do a card swap before me? LOL

 I'd like to finish stating this was a fun experience for me

especially checking my mailbox with my daughter Jade and opening the cards together.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Pink Stamper's NSD Challenge # 9

Challenge #9--Use Glitz, Glam and Glitter in your project!


Good Evening Everyone!

Here is my idea of glitz, glam and glitter :) Since it's National Scrapbook Day this is what I came up with when I saw the title. LOL.

What kind of scrapbook or card maker that happens to be a glitter lover won't have Stikles?

The glitz & glam was with the black dress, I was going to go with a hot pink... I think I should stuck to the pink but maybe next time. Then I added a shimmery clear Studio G glitter glue

 (I wish they'd name their colors)

here you can see the difference of the black dress from the area I started to glitz up.

Standing card

Better view

For my dolls "long hair I just welded 2 together one being upside down... the girl is supposed to be me and my hair goes down to my boo-tay lol

I actually found this quote by accident but I love it, "Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins" 

by Paris Hilton . LOL So not related to scrapbooking - I think -- but that quote matched my card.

The Stikles bottles and Studio G bottles are actually baby bottles from New Arrival Cart. LOL.

Thanks for checking out my page I hope you had fun.

Crafty hugs and wishes,

Katya Bess
