Pumpking for a Dinner Plate

Hello, stampers;

 

The members from my online classes site are

F*A*B*U*L*O*U*S

 

I'm very happy with the wonderful inspiration they give me and their amazing comments. Well, I recently had a request from Brenda, asking me if I knew how to make something like this:

She saw something like this in Pinterest.

 

 

I went to work on a tutorial for something similar and this is the final result of my project:

These pumpkins are the perfect size to be placed on top of the plates for Thanksgiving dinner or in front of them...and you can also add names to the banner for a more personal detail.

Candy Corn Box

Hello, stampers;

I'm sharing this tutorial with the members of my online classes, Inking from the Heart...the SCHOOL!

MINI Pumpkin Box

Hi, there;

 

What a wonderful morning...starting to feel the Fall weather and loving it!!

I made this cute mini pumpkin box for the members of my online classes, Inking from the Heart...the SCHOOL!!

 

The box is simple but yet elegant and can be used for a Fall wedding favor.

The box and lid are made of two pieces of cardstock, score and cut to create the shape of it.

 

Until next time,

 

And now...Hotel Transylvania!!

Hello, friends;

 

I'm so very excited to share with you pictures of the newest tutorial that I have for the members of my online classes,

Inking from the Heart...the SCHOOL!!

 

When you register for my classes, you will get the tutorial for this project as well as the tutorials for all the projects that have been uploaded to the site since June 2012 [because the tutorials are never taken down for a year], plus all the other tutorials that I will be uploading until May 31st next year.

Then, in June 2013, a new subscription will start.

To subscribe to my classes, please click here and press the Pay-Pal button at the end of the post.

 

Well, now to the project...

Have you guys watched the Hotel Transylvania movie, yet?

I went with my little girls and I have to confess that I loved it...so much, that it inspired me to create this project and named it after the movie.

 

What do you think?

 

 

This project was created using a box from one of our cartridges to make the roof, then the rest of the "house" was created with a piece of Pear CS that I cut and score to fit under the "roof".

You might be thinking, oh my God is a lot of work!!

Well, confession: it is when you have to cut, measure, score to fit one part into another, and so on...but once you have all the measurements and pieces cut and ready to assemble, is a piece of cake...and that is what I do for you with my classes, make it easier for you so you will have more time available to spend with your family and on planning classes around the projects I offer for you at Inking from the Heart...the SCHOOL!!

The roof is removable and you can add small gifts or candy inside the house; it's also a great idea to decorate your table/house for Halloween.

 

Hope you like this and I wish you can join me in my classes, you are not going to regret it.

Until next time,

 

DING, DONG! The Witch is DEAD!!

Hello, friends;

Can we say that after looking at this cute candy box?

The Witch is GONE!!

 

The original idea for this project is this witch's cauldron that I made:

But I wanted it to look somehow different, so I added other elements, like the witch's shoes that I made using the Happy Hauntings cartridge from Cricut. The legs and the broom stick are Twizzlers Twists.

 

I'm so happy with the results that I want to share the tutorial for this project with you. So, if you are interested, feel free to click on the right language when downloading the tutorial:

Moonlight Scrapbooking Kit

Hello, friends;

Is a new day and I wanted to share a duo of Halloween scrapbook pages that I made using the Moonlight Scrapbooking kit from Close to my Heart.

TO ORDER CMTH PRODUCTS, PLEASE CLICK HERE!!

Of course, I followed the instructions given in the kit, and I have to confess the instructions are clear and so fabulous that you’ll be creating wonderful and amazing scrapbook pages, even if you are a first-time scrapper. 

 Here are my pages:

As you can see, I used a different alphabet stamp set for “boo” and added some other elements to decorate the pages.

 

I added the year, 2013...what was I thinking when I added 2013? I didn’t notice until now…oh, well, now I have to change the year. :0)

Here is the other set of pages I made with the scraps left from the same kit:

I added some extra elements, like the pumpkin, and changed other details:

Hope you enjoyed this post, and if you liked it, don’t forget to leave me a comment.

H2H Rolling Technique

Hello, stampers;

 

What a wonderful morning celebrating one more challenge over at H2H. We had to create a layout or card using the "rolling Technique".

This is my scrapbook page:

Rolling Technique is simple and easy but has a great WOW effect. It adds dimension and depth to a stamped image. You can use this method to shade an image or add additional color.

Here is how to do it:

** Ink your stamp in one color of ink. Use the lightest shade of your chosen inks.

** Take your stamp and "roll" the edges on a second color of ink. I hold the stamp and just roll it so that the edges pick up the extra ink then stamp it. You can also use a dauber/small sponge to ink the edges of the stamp with the darker color.

The rolling technique was applied onto the leaves I'm using on this scrapbook page. I inked each leaf with Autumn Terracotta, Honey, and Pear; then, I used a dauber to ink the edges of the stamp with Chocolate ink. Each leaf was then stamp on Colonial White CS.

 

Hope you like this idea and please, feel free to play along with us this week!

Hope you enjoy this card!

ACORN Boxes

Hello, there;

 

I have to confess that anything related to Autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are my passion. These are my favorite times of the year and I love to make projects related to these holidays.

Since I joined the CTMH family, I've been having the opportunity to be more creative by using my Cricut and the wonderful cartridges CTMH has available for us.

Today, I want to share these wonderful boxes shaped like acorns using papers from the Clementine Paper Collection:

These set of boxes turn out to be so pretty that I'm planning on making more and have one for each member of my family; then, I will put them on the table during our Thanksgiving dinner.

Here is a close view of the bow...I used the seam binding ribbon from CTMH.

Fall Background Scrapbook Page

Hello, friends;

I am very happy to share with you a free tutorial on how to create the background for this layout:

I used a combination of the AP and the new Artiste cartridges from CTMH. The background was created using a frame shape in one of the cartridges with four different cardstock colors.

 

To order CTMH, please click here!

 

Here I have more pictures of the layout:

This embellishment was created by making a bow out of burlap ribbon and making cuts along each bow side. The acorn is also from one of the cartridges.

 

The phrase is also cut using one of the cartridges...I like the outcome and hope you like it, too!

 

I have a tutorial available with details and exact measurements of each piece of CS and B&T used for this layout.

 

 

The tutorial is available in English and Spanish; to have access to the tutorial click on the correct language link.

"SPOOKY" Candy Box

Hello, stampers;

 

I've been working on some projects and ideas to share with the members of my online classes @ Inking from the Heart...the SCHOOL!

 

I want to share this cute candy box that is far from spooky:

 

This is an easy box using the Art Philoshophy cartridge from CTMH. Once you have all the pieces needed cut an ready, making this pretty box is a "piece of cake".

Hope you like it!

Owl with AP

Hello, there;

I've been working in different projects at the same time;

busy, busy, busy!!

I made this cute owl using the AP cartridge and the 1-1/4" circle punch from CTMH.

Check it out:

The body was made using the pillow box from the AP; I press Fit to Page to cut it at the largest possible size. It was cut from Kraft CS and I distress the edges of the pillow box with Chocolate ink.

For the "feathers", I punch lots of circles using the 1-1/4" circle punch from the Flirty Paper Packet. I used two different BT [designs]. All you have to do is adhere the circles in rows and overlapping them a little on the front side of the pillow box.

For the eyes, I made two large rosettes from a 3/4" x 11" strip of black CS and two medium ones from a 1/2" x 11" strip of Chocolate CS. Adhere them with hot glue to the pillow box.

Adhere a 1/2" circle from orange Cs and a white button as pictured.  For the peak, I just cut a 1" square using the AP and then fold it in half diagonally.

To finish the pillow box, wrap around it Brown Striped GG Ribbon and add a tag from one of the Artiste Collection stamp set.

 

Hope you like this idea!

Until next time,
