LOOKING UP

One card two challenges with this adorable digi from Hambo Stamps

 

BIRD BALLOON



 

First this card is for this week's Hambo Hoedown #83.....ZIG ONE WAY AND ZAG THE OTHER (CHEVRONS)

I did not have any Chevron dies or papers I wanted to use so I used these colorful dp's and made my own Chevron border using a 1 1/4" corner punch. First I made the image png in Adobe Photoshop Elements so I could overlap my image and sentiment. I worked in Publisher using the cropping tool to break the image and sentiment apart and place where I wanted. I printed a second bird, colored, cut out and popped up.

 

Second, this card is for today's Free For All Challenge #135...THE EYES HAVE IT (GOOGLIE EYES)

I took one tiny googley eye and placed over the two eyes on the image. I love how he looks like he is looking at the sentiment. I would never have thought of doing this if I was not inspired by this challenge to use googley eyes today.

 

RECIPE:

STAMPS:Bird Balloon Digital Image by Hambo Stamps

PAPER:White, True Black (Papertrey Ink), Serendipity, Shine On, Picadilly (Basic Grey)

INK:Printer, Copics C-1, C-3, C-5, YR23, Y17, Y21, V04, V06, V09

SEPTEMBER 

REALLY REASONABLE RIBBON

 BLOG HOP

I am so happy to be participating in the blog hop as this month's Guest Designer. Yay. 

You should have arrived from CORRI'S BLOG. 

If not then you'll want to start at the

 REALLY REASONABLE RIBBON BLOG.

Next, hop on over to CHERYL'S BLOG. 

I just love these fun Halloween colors for this month's Ribbon Club collection. So many possibilities. You are going to be inspired by all the DT today. Not a club member? You can join HERE.

I made a Halloween Treat. I love Halloween. First I made Rice Krispie's Treats.  I placed the batch in a 11 x 7 x 1 1/2" backing dish. I like my Rice Krispie's Treats fat. I divided the pan into 6 equal pieces. Then, while warm, I placed a plastic spider ring (I bought a bag at the dollar store, there is a lot in the bag) on each square and let cool before cutting all the way.  

Then I placed one in my 9 x 4 x 2" clear treat bags (these are not cello bags).  I used the orange checkered ribbon and black satin for my bow. I tied the bag first using the black. then I made my bow separate by going back in forth with the orange to make three loops on each side then tied with floss.  Then wrapped the front with a piece of the black and adhered with score tape. Really easy. I love how this ribbon shines. So festive. 

RECIPE:

ACCESSORIES: Plastic Spider Rings (Dollar Store), 9x4x2 clear treat bags (Michaels), September Ribbon Club Kit (Really Reasonable Ribbon), Score Tape, Handmade Rice Krispie's Treats
