The Queen's Royal Court Blog Hop - Cosmo Cricket

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend? I spent National Scrapbooking Day, Saturday, scrapping with friends and I spend most of the day yesterday scrapping as well. I have ton of projects due this week and I was tying to get most of them finished. 

I am so excited because, today is our 3nd, Queen's Royal Court Blog Hop. All of us, on the Queen's design team will be showcasing Cosmo Cricket's amazing products, for the next   week!I LOVE Cosmo Cricket paper!

If you have arrived here from Rosy's blog then you are on the right track, if you would like to start from the beginning click here.

Today's project is a boxed set of shaped cards.

I used kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink for the box and the base of each card.

Th Cosmos Cricket papers that I used were from the"Jack's World" collection. The twine is from The Twinery.

The cards were designed using my Gypsy and the Walk  in my Garden Cricut cart. I welded shadows of each bug together to make the base of each card.

 

 

Each card measures approx 4.5" x 4.5". I also made envelopes and placed them in the box as well. I think it is going to make great gift.


The Queen is giving away a "grand" prize on her blog. Cosmo Cricket has donated some wonderful papers and accessories. If you haven't head on over to her blog and check it out!

Altered Frame

Happy Monday!

Have you seen Joy's new stamp sets? There are three of them and they are my new favorite stamps! You can see them here. I love that they are so versatile and can be interchanged and used together to make that perfect saying on your card or project.

When I saw one of the stamps, in the "All Around Sentiments" stamp set, I knew just what I wanted to do! 

 I started with a small wood frame and some Mod Podge. Both were purchased at Michael's. 

I pulled some decorative paper and matching DCWV card stock from my stash. I covered the frame with the decorative paper and then added a few embellishments.

I used the Simply Charmed and A Walk in My Garden Carts.

The love bug was cut at 2 1/2" and stamped with one of the new PKS Happy Lashes faces.

The ribbon was from my stash and the tag was cut at 1/2" from the Walk in My Garden cart. The tag was stamped with a stamp from the "All Around Sentiments" stamp set.

I think it is going to look really cute sitting on my BFF's desk, with a picture of her sweet little "bug" in it! :)  

Here is what the"All Around Sentiments" stamp set looks like.

The stamps are made with the highest quality photopolymer. Did you know that... Joy is offering free shipping on all her stamps sets until November 20th? Well... she is! :)

I will be back tomorrow with a new card. 

I hope you have a wonderful day!
