Avon Chapstick Holders + Hello Kitty Freebie

I am still working on items for my craft fairs coming up. Here are some more avon chapstick holders I made. The first one is using Lindsay's Nature's Christmas Set. I colored it with copics and added some inking to the edges then some red stickles and pearl paint to Santa and the holly berries. The second one is made using some freebie clipart that I got for joining the PC Crafters site. The third one uses Lindsay's Winterland clipart set. So easy, just print!

To make these, just cut them at 5.5"x3.5" Then a 3"x1" strip. I scored the holders at 2 3/8" and 3 1/8" Then I scored the strips at 3/4" and 2 1/4". Then I just use my ATG gun to adhere the strips to the holders along the score line. I used a corner rounder punch to finish them off.

I just wanted to remind you that there is a sale going on today!!! So hop on over to Lindsay's store!

 

Per follower request, here is your thursday freebie, a Hello Kitty Reindeer! Enjoy!

Breast Cancer Encouragement Card + Turkey Freebie

This week I decided to make a card for my son's preschool teacher. She was just diagnosed this past week with breast cancer. I just wanted to cheer her up a bit. So I used Lindsay's new set of bold black & white digital papers. I opened the paper that I wanted in my publisher program. I right-clicked on the paper and chose format picture/object. Then I clicked on the "recolor" button. Then I just chose a sassy color of pink! I am in love with this zebra print. It isn't your typical print. It is very artistic looking!

I also used Linday's breast cancer awareness digi stamp. It is an old freebie, but you can still get it here. I used my paint.net program to add the zebra print to the bra as well. You can see my tutorial for doing this here. I just added a couple of doodle flourishes behind the image and a bit of ribbon and inking to the edges.

I found this quote on google and put it inside. This card qualifies for the following challenges: Aly's Stampin' Challenge (distressing), City Crafter (get your digi on), Color Cue 9 (Pink, white, grey, black), Cow Girl Sunday (bling it on), Craft your Passion (Anything goes), Crafty Card Makers (use digi in unusual way), Incy Wincy (Anything goes), Inktegrity (Anything goes), Lexi's Creations (Anything Goes), My Sheri (Get well), Paper Players (anything goes), Stamp Something (pink), Wee Memories, (free 4 all)

Looks aren't everything...

I think this is one of my most favorite cards that I have ever made. I just adore this little Frankie from Bugaboo. I used the cracked edge svg file that gave away as yesterday's freebie. I am not sure I like the way it turned out, but Frankie's cuteness makes up for it. The sentiment is a freebie from TLC.

 Here is the inside:



Warm Winter Wishes + Border Freebie!

Hello and Happy Thursday! This week I wasn't in the mood to color, so what better time than to use some clipart?! I usually don't work with clipart, but after making this card, I definately will more often! I love how easy it was. And first of all, I must apologize for the sadness of how the photo turned out. My mother borrowed my camera, so I was forced to use an older one (that I despise) and it didn't turn out so well. So when I tried to make another one, the camera batteries were dead. argh!

Anyways, back to the card. I used a sketch from InStyle Stamps blog. I printed the clipart on textured white cardstock. I printed the gifts and the tree star two times, because I wanted to layer them with pop dots (hard to see in photo). The paper is from DCWV. It isn't supposed to be christmas paper, but it reminded me of snow, so I thought it looked nice. Then I just added some sparkle!  

You can find this set here.

This card qualifies for the following challenges, 2Sisters (Anything goes), ABC (Glitter), Bee-Crafty (Xmas), Craft Your Passion (Glitter), Crafty Pad (Xmas), Delightful Sketches (It's beginning to look a lot like xmas), Gingerloft (Winter), Snap Creations (Christmas), Lothian Crafts (Christmas), Meljen's Designs (Anything goes), Papertake Weekly (Sparkly & Bright), Quixotic (Christmas is Coming), Sew Many (Anything goes), Fourth Friday (Christmas), Wild Orchid (Pastels)

Wagon Get Well Card

Here is a cute and fun little card that I made the other day using last week's wagon freebie. I cased a card that I had seen on the Scrappin' Navy Wife's blog. She has some adorable cards! I love how she uses faux stitching on almost all of them. Makes quite an impact. This card wouldn't be nearly as cute without it!

BTW, the inside says "Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I made my own business cards! + Freebie!

First of all, I want to let you know about a sale going on all day Thurday. You can get 40% off at MyGrafico. So if you've had your eye on any of Lindsay's new sets, now is the time to buy! If you haven't seen her new stuff, scroll down!

This week I opted to make something totally different. I needed to make some new business cards for my upcoming craft fair in december. So I used Lindsay's new Bowling Fun Papers to create a fun and colorful business card! I manipulated the papers on my free Paint.net program and then saved the file and opened it in my Microsoft Publisher program to add the text.

Here is the first design I came up with. I was beginning to run out of printer ink, so I altered the design some more and came up with another design which you can see below.

 I acutally like the white design better. What do you think?

Before I hand over your freebie, I wanted to show you Lindsay's other new sets!
