Day 19 Artiste! Halloween box

You should have just come from Gloria's Blog, http://www.scraptabulousstudio.com/ but if you didn't don't worry it is a circular hop so you can just follow it back around!

 So today was a free day and I chose to channel my Halloween spirit and make a little candy box! I think these would be so cute to hand out at parties or to trick or treaters! I cut the box at the recommended 4.5 and the pumpkin face at 2.5. Everything is from page 77 in the guidebook. The paper is Moonlight and the face is Smokey Plum.
This is with the lid closed.

Lid opened and waiting for candy!

Day 17 Artiste!

So our Artiste Blog hop continues on! You should be visiting me from Gloria's Blog, http://www.scraptabulousstudio.com/ but if you didn't don't worry! It is a circular hop so you will just circle back round. 

So today was a free day but I chose to do the recommended shape. The bow from page 55 in the handbook.    I also made a purse for the bow to go on. This is one of the purses I will be giving to my friend Sarah to hold gift cards in her salon. I cut the purse out at 3 inches and the bow and 3/4 in. The little sentiment is from the La Belle Vie Workshop On the Go stamp set. The little shape is also from Artiste!

This is the little purse. All shapes from Artiste!

Sitting up waiting for its gift card!
If you are interested in being able to complete any of these projects let me know and we will get you set up with an Artiste Cartridge! Your next stop will be Adeline at, www.adeline-brill.blogspot.com . I am putting the complete list below just in case you got lost along the way!

Artiste Day 16!!

You should have just come from Gloria's blog, http://www.scraptabulousstudio.com/ . Don't worry if you didn't, it is a circular hop so you can just follow it back around! If you get lost on your travels just come back here and I will have a complete list at the bottom.

 Today's shape was a Christmas Tree. I love Christmas and I am already planning ornament making parties, Advent Calendar classes and cards! This is perfect for anyone who has an apartment too small for a tree, or a mantel. I see endless possibilities with this. I used the Winter Wonderland paper that is retired. I have not been able to order out current Christmas paper pack yet! All the shapes I used are on the same button, and I used a tagline from the top of the paper for the garland. I hope this gives you some early Christmas Cheer!
Side one. The ornaments are cut at 1 in.

There is another ornament but it does not show up well in the pictures.


The star on top cut at 1.5.
Your next stop should be Adeline's blog, www.adeline-brill.blogspot.com , but remember I will have a full list below! Remember to stop by all the post for your Artiste inspiration and if you are interested in the package just contact me!

Artiste Day 15.

You should have come from Gloria's Blog, http://www.scraptabulousstudio.com/ If you didn't don't worry, this is a circular hop so it will come back around. Please also keep in mind that I work over nights, so on nights I work I post very early. Please remember to check out the other fabulous ladies later!

 Today's shape is a purse. I posted one awhile back that I used as a gift card holder. This one I was thinking would be a mini one for when you need to display a purse. Such as when you make a scene from a book. That seemed to be my teacher's favorite idea for book reports. :) Wish I had the Artiste back then!

Artiste Day 14!

You should have come from Tricia's Blog, http://craftingthedayawayy.blogspot.com/ If you did not do not worry I will have a complete list below for you to follow. You can always just follow all the way around to, because this is a circular hop!

 Today's shape is a bow tie box. I am on a Holiday kick! I wanted to created a little Thank you back for some embellishments for a hostess who just had a party. I will say on my box I flipped my little tie the wrong way and accidentally embellished the wrong side! I just made the best of it and make some clothes pin closures. I used a new Halloween stamp set called Creepy Creatures. I know that Halloween is awhile away but this particular hostess LOVES Halloween. We created little Halloween cards at her party too.
These are the clothes pin closures. Below that is the finished bag. I think some of the other ladies will have a better definition of the collar.

 Your next stop should be Adeline, www.adeline-brill.blogspot.com I have the complete list below also. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today was the Strawberry box. Here in Billings we have a Strawberry Festival and I thought these would be cool to sell there with candy or baked goods inside, or even a souvenir ornament! I had some trouble getting a good picture, so I hope you can see them ok.

Artiste Day 11

You should have just come from Lalia's blog, http://craftylalia.blogspot.com/ . If you are starting here don't worry just keep following and you will circle back around!


Today I made some of the accordion Flowers. These are super simple to make, you just cut out 2 strips of paper, at your desired size, and fold on your score marks, glue the ends together to make a circle, push your circle down in the middle and secure with a circle on the back. I also add an embellishment on the front, in the middle for extra security. I cut all mine at 2.5 inches today. I thought of ornaments when I saw these, as I am gearing up for Christmas. To make this an ornament I just added some hemp or bakers twine to my back circle with Liquid Glass.
This is all 4 that I made. Sorry the picture is so dark!

I chose not to make this one an ornament. I may add it to a wreath.

It is hard to see but this one actually will hang. It tips forward a little when it does so it
 is best hung from some were high.

I solved the tipping forward on this one by also securing it to the top
 as well as the middle.

This is the middle embellishment. It says Live Love Laugh.

This is by far the smallest one. I think it would look the best on a tree,
tho not a traditional Christmas Color

Artiste Day 10!

The Artiste hop goes on! You should have just come from Laila's Blog, http://craftylalia.blogspot.com/ If you didn't don't worry! I will have a complete list at the end!  So today I am a very triumphiant Concultant. Why you ask? Well because I mastered the 20 Circle ball!! I have the pictures to prove it. :) Since to day was a free day I made a hostess gift purse also. Just a reminder to everyone joining us, this blog hop is devoted to the new cartridge, Artiste. If you have any questions or want to buy the cart please just leave a comment or email me!
Artiste Bundle
The Hostess gift purse and the ball.
So the first thing I want to talk about is the 20 circle ball. I have to thank Denise Hobbs (fellow Hopper) because she is the one who gave me the hint I needed to figure this out. I read her blog post on it and in her last paragraph she talks about putting the middle in. So the secret is after you put your first group of 5 together that is your top. The next thing you want to do is attach one circle to each flap on one side one only.

It will look like the picture in the left when you are done. Your next step is to adhere one circle on both sides in between the ones you just put on. After you do this you will be able to clearly see where the last 5 will go. It will look like the picture on the right. The finished product will be  a ball.

 The picture on the left is the ball hanging on my porch at night. The picture on the right is against the wall in my apartment.






Next I want to tell you about my Hostess gift purse. It is cut at 4.5 inches with Lucy Paper. I used the wooded color ready shapes (garden variety) to give it a little flair. This was simple to put together and comes out looking amazing. It is page 32 in the handbook. There are several different purse shapes, but I like this one because it have the little pocket inside! If you cut it smaller it would be perfect for gift cards of jewlery!  I am calling it my hostess gift purse because I plan to put hostess gifts inside!                                                                                                                                                              The picture below is the purse closed and ready to give. The strip along the bottom was just the zip strip from the paper I used
The Front of the Purse

The inside. I used the two reinkers as place holders, but I plan on putting  the petite perks stamp set I have in there!

Purse form the back.

Artiste Day 9! Flower top box.

You should have just come from Laila's blog, http://craftylalia.blogspot.com/ . I can't wait to get to check hers out!

Just to catch anybody who has been out of the loop up, this is a blog hop to show off Close To My Heart's new Cricut Cartridge Artiste. It is a great deal, 125.00 worth of products for 99.00! You get 3 exclusive csized stamp sets, 3 dimensional elements and the cartridge! The cartridge has over 700 images and the creative possibilities are endless!

The shape we made today is the Flower top box. Now I must say after first putting it together I thought I had done it wrong, because it looks more 2-D than 3-D. I looked through the assembly handbook over and over and tried refolding a thousand times before I realized I had it right! lol. After I accepted to the shape I saw all the things you could do with this. Of course there are gift cards, but I also thing these would hold scavenger hunt clues. Plus it is a great way to have a unique cover for business cards. Just glue them to the bottom and people can open them up. I guarantee they will remember you! I do not have anything on the inside of mine right now. The only thing I wish I had thought of before is the embellishments! There is not a ton of room for them, but I will think it through better next time I make it!
I used Twine wrapped around it to give it a gift wrapped feel. I love the hat pins. They are a favortite embellishment of mine!
This is the view if you are holding it up looking at it.

This is looking straight down at it. Close up of my embellishment.

Looking straight down at it.


So next you should be headed to Adeline's blog,  www.adeline-brill.blogspot.com  She is always so inspiring! If you got lost along the way I have a complete list below of all the blogs! Make sure you see everyone's lovely creations! Happy Hopping!
