Wine charms

Hi everybody, this is probably gonna be my last post for the Holidays.  I'm going away to see family and I won't have my craft room!
I made these little wine charms with Shrinky Dinks.  I welded the snowman from Doddlecharm with the hat from Paper Doll Dress up.  I then cut them with my Expression at Blade depth 6, speed 3, pressure 5 and multi cut at 3.  I colored with Copics and then shrunk them with my heat gun.  Much faster this way, you just have to be careful!

Before shrinking them

 I used Staz-on ink for the Peachy Keen stamp faces.  You have to remember to punch a hole before shrinking them!

Close up with the cute PKS face!

WAW, everything is suddenly so big!!!

The charms with beads.

 The snowflakes are from Accent Essentials.  The first snowmen I did, I totally forgot to use my PKS faces:(  I just colored them with Copics!

Close up with the beads.

 The Santa stamps are from Stampin' Up.  They were cut with Create a Critter.  The beads, wire hoop, jump rings and spacer are from Michaels.  Can you believe how cute those spacers are?!!!  They look like tiny gold ornament.  I had to use pliers to finish the hoop so that the beads don't fall off and to keep it close.

The gift box to put all of them.

Decorated box.

For the box, I used a piece that I already made for another project.  You can see it here.  The snowflake is from the Winter Lace cartridge cut at 4".  I then added ton of Stickles in pink and put bling with my I-Rock.
This gift is for my mother-in-law.  She's receiving for Christmas and there's gonna be a lot of us!!!  Don't want to mix those drinks up, lol!!!
Hope you all have a great Holiday.

Joyeuses Fêtes

I'm entering this card in the challenge from Stampin' for the Weekend.

 

I sponged behing the memory glass with different inks to make the background, then I stamped with black Staz-on ink for the trees.  The stamps, ribbon, brads and paper is SU.   It's a simple card and very fast to put together.

Thanks for stopping by,

Brigitte

MPS Day 2 of 12 days of Christmas

At My Pink Stamper, she has a challenge to make a project using two shades of pink, two shades of blue and black.  This is my spin on it:

I had the little woman done since I got my Forever Young cartridge, but I didn't know where to use her.  When I saw the challenge, I just knew she would fit perfectly!  The swirl were cut with Storybook, it's actually the shift portion of 2 that I cut twice.  I added lots of Diamond stickles for some sparkle and also some bling with my I-Rock!.  The Bashful Blue piece of cardstock is emboss with the D'vine Swirl folder and the Brilliant Blue is punched with MS punch.  The paper is SU, the ribbon is from Micheals.  I added some faux stitching with a white gel pen.
I didn't put a sentiment, I will wait to see when I will use it.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and please leave a comment!

Sassy Mrs. Claus

Hello,
I'm entering this card for two challenges:
Sketch Saturday Week 133

and One Stop Craft Challenge :  Sassy Christmas

 The paper, ink and stamps are SU.  I cut the corner and the silver backing with Storybook cartridge and the flowers with Gypsy Wandering.  I colored the picture with Copics.  The background is actually white paper that I smeared silver ink on it!  I put some Crystal stickles and Viva Decor Pearl for accents.

I crinkled and sponged the flowers with two different ink colours and then sprayed some water on them to give a watercolor effect.
This card is the sister of this one.   I used the same colour theme and the flower are from the same cartridge.
Hope you like it,
Brigitte

Celebrate with a Martini

Hi everybody,
I had a long day.  For 3 hours, I got dunk upside down in a pool for egress training !  We have to do this training to prepare us if it ever happens when we fly in the helicopter.  My vision is fuzzy because of that, but I still manage to make a card.
I used the Smiley cartridge again, lol!!!  I hid the eyes and mouth because I wanted I more elegant card.  I put Glitter Ritz in gold and warm highlights on the glass and Crystal Effects on the olive for some shine.

The stamp, ribbon and paper is SU.  The "Celebrate" didn't show up on the background, so I went carefully around it with my black pen.  Let me tell you, after today, it was a pretty hard task to focus on anything!!!  I handwrote the rest of it.  The bubbles are Viva Decor pearls.
Inside it just says Happy Birthday.  This is also a card for a co-worker.  He works so very hard and I want to acknowledge that!

Little devil's card

Hello bloggers and crafters!
I made this sweet card for somebody I work with. 

 I used the cartridge Smiley cards cut at 3".  The phrase is cut at 1.25".  The patterned paper is DCWV and the rest is SU.  I used Shrinky dink for the little charm in the card.  He has two daughters, so he can  give them the charms.

Have a great day,
Brigitte

Viva Decor Pearl

Happy week-end to everybody!
I just got my Viva Decor Pearl, woo hoo!!!  So, I made another Christmas card!  I have over 60 and I only need about 35:)
The patterned paper is SU In color 07'.  The stamps, ink and ribbon is also from SU.  I cut the circle and stamp shape with my Cricut.  The circle are from George and Basic Shapes and the stamps are from Create a Critter.  I added some buttons and bling in the form of stickles and Viva Decor Peal in gold.

I embossed the tree with Rainbow sparkle powder and I used the D'vine Swirl folder for the background.
Hope you enjoy,
P.S.:  My boss loved the card I gave him!!!  You can see it here.

Round Christmas card

Hello,
I made this simple card for Cricut Cardz challenge 54.  It had to be a round Christmas card with no red or green.

I welded two scallop circles (from Birthday Bash) together with my Gypsy to make the base card.  Then I cut another circle just a little bit smaller in some Tim Holtz patterned paper.  I cut the ornament with the Trim the Tree Lite cartridge.  The paper is SU and the ribbon is from Michaels.  For the intricate part, I used white card stock and then put some platinum ink on it!  For the final touch, I added some bling with my I-Rock!
Hope you like it,
Brigitte
