Time for a Non-Traditional Christmas Card

Happy Wednesday everyone. It's almost Valentine's Day but before I celebrate it's time to make another Christmas card to add to my collection.

For my card today I decided to play along with a few challenges and am using the sketch below from Merry Monday Challenge #49 at Always playing with paper.














I normally do not play along when there is a sketch involved but this year I have decided that I need to break out of the comfy zone and try new things.

Here's my take on the sketch. I made a non-traditional Christmas card and I really like how this turned out. What do you think? I know my SIL would love this since her family is all about Disney.





I am entering this into the following Challenges:
Always Playing with Paper - Merry Monday #49 - Use the Sketch
Christmas Card Challenges - Week # 11 - Scallops
Cut it Up - Animation Domination and use a die cut
DL Art - Anything Goes Linky Party
Every Day is an Occasion - Linky Party

What I used:

Dies, Carts and Punches:
Disney Classics Cart: Captain Hook cut at 4"
Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles - the vellum shape behind Hook
EK Success Large Scallop punch - bottom strip

Paper:
EK Success Disney Pixie Dust Vellum
MME Wish 6x6 CS pad
Recollections - Black, gray, white, peach, tan, and dark gray CS
The Paper Company - Cool Metallic Ruby Jewel paper for Captain Hook's shirt
DCWV Metalic CS in Silver for Hook's Hook

Other Supplies:
Felt from Hobby Lobby - for Captain Hook's hat
Recollection black and silver pigment ink
Studio g - Stamp "Ho ho ho"
Brad from my stash
Twine from My Craft Spot
Foam tape - used on Captain Hook and tag

Side Strip of CS measures: 1 3/4 x 3 1/2
Scallop strip along bottom measures: 1 7/8 x 5 5/16
Card size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2


Thanks for stopping by.

Disney Pixar Blog Hop - Day Two

Hello my friends I'm so glad you dropped by for Day Two of the Disney Pixar Blog Hop. I absolutley love that Shawn invited me back again as a stop for this Marvelous Magical Hop. We always have so many creative and talented ladies in our fabulous hops and I just love being a part of the fun.



If you came from Jenny's Crazy about Cricut blog then you are in the right place. If you happened to stop by my blog and would like to start at the beginning go to Shawn's Crafty Chic's blog.


I usually have a great project to share at these hops but I've been so busy with our AF walks and event this month that I just did not have the time, so I will be sure to have something wonderful lined up for the next hop.


For my project today, I made a card for my Nephew's birthday in June. Kristal Andrew's has the perfect stamp set called Of Mice and Lil Men. Kristal is the last stop of the hop so be sure to look around Getting Cricky for examples of projects using her wonderful stamps.

I created my card around Kristal's sentiment, "Just a wee wish". I thought it was perfect for a birthday card and who better to deliver that wee message than Jiminy Cricket. I love how this turned out and I can't wait to send it to my Nephew.


What I used:
It's hard to see but I used different textured cardstock from my scrap paper stash. I'm totally into using up my scraps this year.
Disney Classics cart - Jiminy cut at 5"
Mickey and Friends cart - Star cut at 1 1/2"
K Andrews Stamp set - Of Mice and Lil Men
Staples - green
Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles - I love this die
Cuttlebug Argyle embossing folder

Foam tape to pop the tag and Jiminy
Sewing machine - orange thread used to sew the frame around the card
Twine from My Craft Spot
EK Success 1/2" circle used to create the ticket tag
Eyelet Outlet - watch brad

Disney Pixar Blog Hop - Day Two

Hello my crafty friends. I'm so glad you stopped by for the second day of the Original Disney Pixar Blog Hop hosted by  Shawn of Crafty Chics and Melissa of Disney Dreamers. Thanks ladies for making this hop the best ever.


I'm so excited to be here once again. I just love Disney and I love coming up with Disney projects to share.

My project today is all about fall and those two adorable chipmunks who we know as Chip and Dale. I took my inspiration from Splitcoaststampers and put a fall twist on their tissue box cover.




Here's how I did it:
My base was made from Kraft cardstock (see instuctions on how to make this by clicking on the splitcoaststampers link above).
I used DCWV Autumn Afternoon cardstock for the 4 panels.
I cut 2 each of Chip and Dale at 4" from the Disney cart using Recollections cardstock and pieced them together then placed them on my background paper.

From that same cart I cut several leaves and acorns from cardstock that I had in my stash. The leaves were cut out at 1" and 3/4" and the acorns were cut at 3/4".

I inked my leaves using SU close to cocoa ink and curled them slightly to give them a more realistic look then attached them one by one using pop dots.
I attached my ribbon to the top of the box using double-sided tape then attached the leaves and acorns using pop dots again. A Zip pen was used for the details on leaves and chipmunks. Hope this project inspires you to make your own tissue box cover.

AND NOW...

We have a GRAND PRIZE for this Blog Hop donated by ContainYa Crafts! You can have YOUR CHOICE of a Scrap'n Tote or a Scrap'n Easel! Each blog in this two day hop has a special letter, and when all of the letters are put together they spell out a secret phrase.
My letter is S

All entries must be in by Midnight on Monday, November 21st. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, November 22nd at http://craftychicsblog.blogspot.com/

Don't go away just yet! I have some blog candy up for grabs.

In order to be eligble to win my candy you must:
1. Visit every blog in the Disney Hop and leave them a comment.
2. Leave me a comment on this post with your email and/or blog address by 12 mid night EST on November 20th.

I want to take a moment to thank Shawn and co-host Melissa for giving me the opportunity to participate in this wonderful hop again.

My project today is all about Disney Classics.

I took my inspiration from a class by Awesome Albums from the Creating Keepsakes Convention of 2009. I decided that this was the perfect thing to make in order to showcase Alice in Wonderland.

The pictures don't show all the glitter on the characters and the shiny papers that I used. But I sure had fun creating it and hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Front cover:

Here's a closer look at the title.


Inside the folio.


Here are the close up pictures of the tags. It's so hard to tell but I used a pearlescent paper on the watch, vest, and umbrella.

Back of tags.







Instructions for the Tagged Folio by Awesome Albums
Things that I changed on this folio:
I used Velcro as my closure instead of two brads and a string.
I changed the sizes of my patterned paper to decorate the outside of the folio.
I chose to decorate my tags; the teacher chose to leave them plain for the class.


Cut printed papers to size.

Fold and score the 6x6 card stock at 4.5 and 5.5”
Fold and score the 6X9 card stock at 8”
Fold and score the 6X5.5” card stock at 4.5”
Glue first piece to the board creating upper flap
Glue second piece to the board leaving bottom 1”
Glue third piece to the bottom 1”
Cover those with print A using the smaller piece on the lower portion
Insert folio section into lower portion gluing only in the center of the front and back as you did when building the stack.

I am so excited to be participating in my very first blog hop! A BIG thank you goes out to Shawn and co-host Melissa for giving me the opportunity to participate in this wonderful hop. For the second time we come together to celebrate our love of all things Disney, which includes the Pixar family of characters.

My projects today showcase both Disney Classics and the Best of Pixar.
So first up is the Disney Classics. I really wanted to make the Cheshire cat from this cart so I decided to put him on a card.

I wanted to use the classic Disney colors so I made him red and black. Hope you like it.


Recipe:
Cheshire cat cut at 4" with the paper company cardstock
Patterened paper from DCWV Summer Dream Stack
Cuttlebug folder - Divine Swirls
Stamp from My Pink Stamper More Punny-licous
Ribbon from Michaels

Next up is The Best of Pixar cartridge.
For those of you who are already followers of my blog you get to see another version of my basket using the Best of Pixar theme.

I made the Basket first then I choose to decorate it with the Monsters, Inc. characters. I'm very pleased with how this turned out so I have several pictures to show you all the sides.






Recipe:
To make this a little challenging for myself I decided to flock Sulley after cutting him out at 3 ¼”.
Mike and Boo are cut at 3 ¼” too. I added some silver scales to Boo’s outfit using a Martha Stewart glitter marker since the piece of paper were just too darn small to work with.
Roz was cut out at 3 ½” then I added sparkles to her chain on her glasses and her blue hair.

The Paper Company Cardstock was used for characters and base of basket.
Patterned Cardstock used:
Nana’s Nursery – Baby Boy
DCWV – The Fun in the Sun Summer Glitter Stack
My Mind’s Eye – Deena’s Penny Lane Glitter Cardstock

Spots and Dots

April Showers!

Well its back to work full time for me so I will only be bloggin' during the evenings if I can fit it in but don't leave me yet! I have the weekends to play.

This card is for the FCCB Challenge 54 April Showers challenge and the CREATIVE SISTERS MONDAY CHALLENGE #5 - BUNNIES I sraplifted myself in a way. For those of you who saw the Winne the Pooh card a while back I took my saying and background from that and changed it up a bit. What do you think? I love it because I love this Rabbit.


Here's my Recipe:
I cut the Rabbit at 4" from the Disney Classics cart. Let me tell you the piece are very small to work with at this dimension.

I used the April Shower cart to cut the surprised cloud at 1 ½”.

I used Create a Critter, Yay my new cart, to cut the sun at 1 3/4"

The card is from DCWV Summer Dream stack.

The paper that I used for the back of the cloud, Sun and Rabbit came from The Paper and Company.

The top of the cloud was cut from came from American Traditional Designs textured cardstock.

The sentiment, face on the cloud and rain drops are from the 2008 Holly Brooke Jones for My Cute Stamps set.

The ink is Not Quite Navy from Stampin Up!

Foam tape used on cloud and sun to pop them just a little.

Orange Peel Stickles used on outer part of sun.

Whew! Okay I have to go hubby is calling me to go sit out on the deck with him and enjoy what sun we have left before the rain comes in this evening.

I'll be back this weekend...

Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge and Blog Hop

My entry for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Disney challenge is the catipillar from Alice in Wonderland. When I saw him on this cart I couldn't wait to create a card with him in mind.


Here's How:
The background paper is from My Minds Eye Penny Lane stack. The catapillar was cut at 6" from the Disney Classic cart using cardstock from the Paper Company. The mushroom was cut at 4" from the Fresly Picked cart. I cut the mushroom on chipboard first then I cut it again on cardstock. I put the mushroom together then ran it through my big shot using the Spots and Dots cuddlebug folder. The glitter paper on the mushroom is from DCWV Glitter matstack. I cut the grass from the Plantin Schoolbook Cart at 2" then ran it through my Big shot using the Swiss Dots cuddlebug folder. I used Marvy markers to outline and add a little color to the swiss dots on the grass and leaf.
