Easter's Coming!

It's once again time for another holiday treat for Sawyer's preschool class! It's been a good long while since I've sat down to make something-Christmas, maybe? These little hamburger boxes are kind of a pain to glue up but they are soooo adorable! Standard plastic Easter eggs fit really nicely inside, as you can see. Also, kinda broke my die cut machine when the cutting mat rolled up inside of it, so getting all of them cut was somewhat of an adventure last night. Gotta save my pennies though, cuz the new machine comes out this Spring!
Anyhow, here's a couple snapshots of this Easter's class gift for Sawyer's friends!

Another StampyLand Challenge Card

 

The challenge for November was to NOT use black ink and NOT color the images with Copics (or other markers). So, we were asked to use colored inks instead! I used the only other ink colors that I own, and I think it turned out pretty cute and simple. I stamped the card in a shimmery white, as well as a piece of green "scrapstock" with the word JOY. I then used a green and a light tan ink pad to stamp the Christmas tree image. I added a little Stickle action after diecutting the green sentiment and image with Nesting Lace Ovals from Lifestyle Crafts.

Here ya go, Momma!

Here are pictures of some commissioned Christmas cards I just finished up. These gave me a great opportunity to use my Copics! A little twine and some pop-dots, along with a few stamps made for quick work of these custom cards.

Christmas is around the corner!

Christmas is coming! It is such an exciting time for crafters! 

There is still about a week and a half left for you to order Christmas cards from me to give to your loved ones this holiday season! November 18 is the deadline to place an order if you want them by December 1! Here are the images:

Remember, these are customizable as far as the background colors are concerned. Also, a sentiment (Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc.) will be included once you tell me what you would like. These are hand colored stamped images, complete with glitter and sparkle. The holly vines are die cut and layered and accented with rhinestones. 6 cards with envelopes is $24, and they get cheaper for larger quantities. Please email me at elizabethvetos@sbcglobal.net for more information and to order!

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween is so much fun! I can't believe it's my son's 5th time Trick-or-Treating already!! Today in his preschool class, they are having a costume party, so little Optimus Prime and I decided to make some treats to share with his school friends:

Thanks to the Lifestyle Crafts die Triangle Box, available at Scrapy Land at a great price, these boxes were a snap to put together! These were not my idea, but thanks to a friend at the Scrapy Land message boards, it's a winner! I used Scortape to adhere the glitter to the sides, some wiggly eyes, fall colored yarn, and a Zig pen for drawing mouths. These little guys are bursting with 3-5 pieces of Halloween treats and will be in the hands of 4 year olds in just a couple hours!

There's still time, so go make something SPOOKY!!

Fall Frenzy!

Woohoo! It's Fall Frenzy week at Scrapy Land and we've been seeing some really great projects since Monday! Last night's live video showed us the "Left to Right" card, and here is my take on it!

 You can see how it flips open, and here is one shot of part of the inside..

Then of course the right side flips up to reveal the sentiment. Super quick, and super cute!

Go make something spooky!!

Trick or Treat...

Here's another Halloween goodie with Pumpkin Marci. I cut and colored four of her for specific cards, so depending on what I come up with, you may see her four times in a row here! Fonts are Maggie/Shadow and Eliza.
