Feature Friday

It's Happy Dance Day! I don't know about you but this week has flown by and so glad it's over! I've been busy working on class prep, my rescheduled Open House, and my upcoming Spring Fling.

Let's get back to Feature Friday. This month's product is the Magical Day. I really liked this when I saw it in the Occasion Catalog but was on the fence. After seeing so many adorable samples, that made up my mind to get it. I hope the samples I share with you today, will get you to want it as well.

This bundle comes in clear and wood mount. You can die cut all the figures in the the stamp set along with the seahorse, bubbles, & stars.


Isn't this adorable! I saw Patty Bennett post this castle and she got it from another demonstrator, Barbara Smith, from Australia. Patty tweaked hers, and I tweaked mine as well! This was really pretty easy to make. In this picture you can see some hinges and a handle. These are from the Sliding Door Framelits, which is part of the Barn Door bundle.


Here's another view of one side. What's nice about this castle is it folds flat! I put a piece of card stock in the middle to hold the message, which is adhered to a piece of window sheet. In this picture you can see the wizard casting a spell!

And here is the other side, with the dragon. I colored all the images with the new Blends. The "princess" at the top is the mermaid. To make this castle you need a piece of card stock 10 1/2" x 3" scored at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2", and 10". To make the turrets I used the Classic label punch. I also embossed the card stock with the Brick Wall embossing folder and sponged ink on it to give more dimension.


For this card I was experimenting with the Brusho Crystals. I'm doing a demonstration at our upcoming Spring Fling and having a great time preparing for this! Not to spoil how I did everything on this card until after the event. I did emboss the mermaid with gold embossing powder and watercolored her. I did some ink splatter on the card and stamped some bubbles as well. Not sure you can see it well but I put some of the glitter epoxy shapes in the bubbles as well. I used the glimmer paper to create some "seaweed"  around her too.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed these projects and give these a try yourself. You can find all these products in my STORE or look below for all the items I used to make these projects. If you don't have a demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. There are all kinds of benefits for shopping with me. Check out the VIP Host Code and your Wish List for more details.

More January Paper Pumpkin

I just can't seem to get enough of January Heartfelt Love Notes. I have a few more alternative cards I made using this kit. I tried to stick with the kit contents and not adding much else except the card base.
 For this first card I just cut some strips from the pocket and then had to splice them together since these pocket cards are not as big as a standard card. I then stuck them to the sides of a card base. Lastly I used some scrap whisper white card stock to stamp the envelopes and fussy cut them out.
For this next card I added a scrap of copper foil. The linen thread is actually from an old Paper Pumpkin kit as well as the sequins and doily.
This last card I only added the card base. I did use a circle punch to round the bottom corners of the card. So save your extra supplies from your Paper Pumpkin kits, you never know when they'll come in handy!
