Cherry Cordial Queen Corrine

For my second project I used Cherry Cordial Queen Corrine.

 

I used some awesome brown glittered paper from DCWV.

I also used some pretty digi paper from an ETSY store.

I added some pretty lace to go with this lovely image.

 

I would like to enter these into the Simply Betty Fan Page Challenge.

Sweet Ladies! Princess Cupcake Rio

Today I have been busy creating some new projects.

I love using these awesome new Simply Betty Stamps - Sweet Ladies.

 

For the first one, I decided to use Princess Cupcake Rio.

 

 

I used a great new template from Sandra's Scrap Shop.

Ok, actually, I only used part of it.

I thought this great paper from The Paper Shelter would look great with this

Simply Betty Stamp.  I love the saying on it!

I used some pretty pink striped paper from My Minds Eye

and I decided to use this great green dotted paper that was used as

a backing for some scrapbooking materials I bought.

Thought I would recycle it.

 

I added a pretty pink dotted bow, and a lovely pink rose.

I like the Shabby Chic look of it.

 

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Pumpkin Juice Anyone?

I do love making tags!!

And since it is almost Halloween, I thought I would make a Halloween tag.

And since I love the Shabby Chic look, I decided to make a

Shabby Chic Halloween tag.

 

I used a wonderful stamp from Simply Betty Stamps.

I backed it with some fabulous digi paper from M R Designs.

I added a Pumpking Juice label, a Tim Holtz apothecary bottle, and

some edging from a Martha Stewart border punch.

 

I added a little bit of twine around it, and some great fibers to the top.

Hope You Like it!

Love these cute little boxes!!

 

 

How cute are these??

I used Little Witch Ariel and Wolfie Ariel from Simply Betty Stamps.

I added some Glossy Accents to both stamps' glasses.

 

For my box, I used paper from K&Company.

 

I added a sign to the back of the box "I Want Candy" from the Ali Mummy digi.

I made my own little candy embellishments.

I tried to make them as close to the candies on the box as possible.

I also added a few fibers to the back for a little extra.

BEWARE!!

The new challenge for Simply Betty Stamps

Halloween challenge has started!

 

Today's challenge is just BLOOD CURDLING!

OK, not really bloody, but use bloody effects.

You can use sprays, mists, embossing powders, etc to create a bloody effect.

 

For my project I decided to make a little something to get the

Halloween Party going!

 

 

 

I took a soft drink, removed the label, added a new "Poison" label, and

lastly added a tag to forewarn the drinkers to Beware!

 

I used some DCWV Spooky Time mat stack.

I used a Simply Betty stamp called Bella the Vampire.

 

For my background I used a Tim Holtz stencil that I applied distress paint to.

Next I used a Tim Holtz splatter stencil, and added some red distress paint, and some red spray mist for a bloody look.

 

Lastly I used a Cricut machine to create the BEWARE warning.

 

Hope you will join us over at Simply Betty 13 Days of Halloween Challenges

for this new challenge because we are having a

bloody good time!



Steampunk Necklace

Time for Day 2 of the

Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween Challenges.

 

Today's challenge is

Spooky Cogs, Gears, and Webs.

Just Steampunk out your project.

 

I wanted to do something new and a little different.

So, I decided to make a Steampunk necklace.

 

 

 

 

I started with a pretty black lace necklace with a black satin rose, some antique brass colored chains, and a couple of black teardrop beads added.

I also added a Tim Holtz antique brass gear, and two large

 antique brass bats.

 

For my pendant, I used, yep you guessed it, an antique brass pendant.

I colored the Simply Betty stamp Portrait of Lavinia with my

Copics, cut it out, and applied some Glossy Accents to the top of the

portrait to give it the glass look.

 

Hope this will inspire you to join us over at Simply Betty Stamps

for the 13 Days of Halloween Challenges.

 

 



Bon Bon's Anyone??

Simply Betty Stamps in having a September Fan Page Challenge on their blog.

This one has the "sweetest" stamps!

 

 

Each stamp has a certain thing you are supposed to do with it.

For this stamp, you need to use some form of embossing.

 

I used my favorite Swiss Dots embossing folder with some

added lace and pretty brown crystals.

 

 

I went with a monochromatic look for this project.

Nothing but browns and creams, with a hint of a rosy color.

 

I used paper from Baerdesignstudio off of Etsy.

I also used a design from Allegradigital.

 

I made a card to display a necklace I am going to be giving as a present.

For the necklace, I used the same design from Allegradigital and

used my Epiphany square punch to cut out the design.

Then I added it to the pendant.

 

Please check out the Simply Betty Stamps September Fan Page Challenge.

They are fabulous stamps!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Today is the first day of the 13 Days of Halloween challenge

over at Simply Betty Stamps.

 

I am excited to announce that I was chosen as one of the

13 Days of Halloween Princesses.

Pretty Exciting!!

 

The Princesses must compete in every challenge for a chance at the top prize;

however, each completion is open to everyone who wants to participate.

It should be a lot of fun!

 

For our first challenge,  we are

too create a banner to welcome Halloween.

 

 

 

I had soooo much fun making this banner!!

One of my favorite projects.

 

I used some wonderful digital paper from Michelle R Designs called Halloween.
I backed each tag with a piece of burlap.

I used a different Simply Betty Stamp for each tag.

I used a Cricut machine with the Happy Hauntings cartridge to cut out the

black iron gate, the witch's cauldron, the grave, bats,and all of the letters.

I used black glitter paper for the letters, and I inked a little bronze color from a bronze ink pad to the edges of the gate, cauldron, and grave.

 

I added a little black crystal bling to the first and last tag,

for a little something extra.

I do love my bling.

 

I added a watch piece to the Alice stamp on the "O" to give

it a more whimsical touch.

 

I used a Tim Holtz Apothecary jar dies for my Potion Bottles.

I used some black and gold glitter paper for some of the bottles.

For the other bottles, I used some Glossy Accents to make the

die cutouts look more like real bottles.

Then I added some Potion Labels that I found.

For the finishing touch, I used some great fibers to tie my tags
to some bailing twine to create the actual banner.

I hope that everyone will take a few minutes to check out the
Simply Betty 13 Days of Halloween challenges.
And hopefully you will join in the fun with us.
There are some great prizes to be won!
