Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day 5

Thank you for visiting on this final day of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop!  We hope you've enjoyed our first blog hop and that we've inspired you in some way.  Your comments inspired me all week! I had only planned to have one post all week but your kind words made me want to rush home from work each day and create!  :)  Thank you!

This week I have incorporated a stamp from It's a Wrap Holidays into each of my projects and in this card "4 You" is also from that stamp set.  I punched it out with  a 3/4 inch Circle Punch.  It is attached to a 1 inch circle of Soft Suede cardstock.  I put some rhinestones around the edges of it because I felt like it needed a little bling.  
My flower is made using our new Spice Cake DSP with a piece of Victoria Crochet Trim behind it. I used the Dahlia Fold technique to make my flower.  I made another one in June that you can see here. I ran my Soft Suede cardstock through the Finial Press embossing folder and used my Snail adhesive to attach it to a piece of Pool Party.


It isn't too late to enter your name for a chance to win the clear stamp set It's a Wrap Holidays. You have until tonight at 11:59. All you have to do is leave me a comment.  Be sure to check back tomorrow when I announce the winner!  Good luck to you!

Be sure to continue on and visit all of the Glitter Queens.  In case you have missed someone along the way, links to all of the Glitter Queens can be found in my post on Monday. Have a wonderful day!

Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day 4

Thank you for joining us on Day 4 of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop!  I have another project for you using the stamp set It's a Wrap Holidays and one of the new Kraft Gift Boxes in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  The approximate size of the box is 3  1/2  x  3  1/2   x  2  1/2 and it is made from food-safe material.  It is is perfect for a small gift, a cupcake, cookies or chocolates! 


As I did on the Give Thanks card earlier in the week, I made my own DSP on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I used a different stamp set called Day of Gratitude.  This set was in a mini catalog last year and I was so happy to see it in the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.  I just love it.  I used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Old Olive ink to stamp three different images. Then I ran each of the pieces through my Big Shot with the Perfect Dots embossing folder although that isn't showing up in my picture I mounted each one to a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and wrapped it up with Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.  I also ran my tag through the Big Shot and used an Antique Brad to attach it to the ribbon.

I have continued to enjoy all of your wonderful comments.  Thank you so much.  I did have one person ask if I have any videos.  I do not at this time but it is something that I really want to try and hope to have on my blog in the very near future.

Have fun as you continue on the blog hop!  A link to all of the Glitter Queens in the hop can be found in the post on Monday!  Have a wonderful day!

Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the Glitter Queens Blog Hop!  I hope you've enjoyed all of the wonderful projects so far from all of us on the hop!  I had only planned to make the three projects from day one but all of your wonderful comments inspired me to create another little project using It's a Wrap Holidays and yes, chocolate!
This time I colored my EEK stamp with my Stampin' Write Markers in Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black so that I could just color in the word EEK and the cute spider.  I punched it out with a one inch circle punch and layered it with another circle punch, a 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle and a 2 3/8 Scallop Circle.  I used my paper piercer around the edges of each scallop circle. I added a rhinestone which makes the bag sparkle! It is actually a very easy project to make and it would be quite easy to make several for friends and co-workers. The candy fit perfectly in the small cello bag that I adhered inside with a small piece of Sticky Strip.  I made two holes at the top using my Crop-a-dile and tied it up with a piece of 3/8 inch Taffeta Ribbon in Basic Black.  The DSP is again from Pick Your Poison, the same pack that I used on my boxes on Day 1. If you would like to make one, you can find a tutorial here



You can still enter your name for my Blog Candy (see the post below).  I will randomly pick one lucky person to win the clear stamp set It's a Wrap Holidays. All you have to do is leave me a comment by Friday, September 9th at 11:59 pm!  I will announce the winner on my blog Saturday, September 10th!

Glitter Queens Blog Hop!!!!!!!

*** Thank you so very much for all of your comments!  I have read every single one and can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind words.  I will have another project for you on Wednesday using It's a Wrap Holidays! ****

Welcome to our first Glitter Queens Blog Hop!!  We are all very excited that you have joined us. You can visit us throughout the week and our hop posts will be at the top of our blogs.  Our hop will continue until Friday, September 9th.  You can visit as many times as you would like.

I have several projects for you and at the end of my post you will have a chance to win some Blog Candy!  I am  showcasing the brand new stamp called It's a Wrap Holidays which can be found in the Holiday Mini.  It is such a versatile set because you can stamp with it on Stampin' Up! cardstock or use labels that you purchase at your local office supply store.

I love the colors in this card because they make me feel as though Fall is almost here!  First, I made my own DSP by using Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Old Olive to stamp leaves from the set  French Foliage.  I stamped "Give Thanks" on Very Vanilla cardstock, cut them out and used my corner rounder on each of the corners.  I popped them up with dimensionals and finished the card with a piece of Old Olive satin ribbon.

For my next project I made a box using It's a Wrap Holidays and Batty for You  to decorate the outside.  I used address labels to stamp EEK! and wrapped them around chocolate which are inside the box. I have to admit that quite a few pieces of chocolate were consumed while wrapping the chocolate!  My box base and top are made out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I used a piece of Pick Your Poison DSP, also from the Holiday Mini.  The scallop is one of our Big Shot dies called Scallop Squares Duo.  The cute bat, pumpkin, cat and EEK are sitting on a piece I punched out with the Postage Stamp punch.  Below you can see a picture of the top and bottom, side by side.


My last project is a box I made using the Big Shot and the Bigz Clear Scallop Square die.


I originally saw this style of box on Angie Juda's blog using the smaller scallop that I used on my previous box.  I played around with it and came up with this bigger sized one.  The bigger the box, the more candy you can put in it!!  I used another piece of DSP from Pick Your Poison.  For my shredded material, I thinly cut Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black cardstock and then scrunched it up into a ball.  You could also put it through your paper crimper.  My purse handle is our new Scallop Dots ribbon attached with a Designer Printed Brad.


Now it is time for BLOG CANDY!!  I will randomly pick one lucky person to win the clear stamp set It's a Wrap Holidays.  All you have to do is leave me a comment by Friday, September 9th at 11:59 pm! It's that easy!

I hope my projects have inspired you to begin working on some Halloween treats for your friends and family.  I also hope that you will visit all of the Glitter Queens for more project ideas and more chances to win Blog Candy!  The next stop is Eileen Cassisi.  To visit her blog you can click here or use the link at the bottom of my post.  In case you have missed someone along the way, links to all of the Glitter Queens can be found below.  Thank you so much for stopping by!
