Cage Match at So Suzy Stamps!

It's the battle of battles at So Suzy Stamps. Suzy has 2 main events today, in celebration of Leap Year, so you will find two blog posts from me today. Number one, there's a blog hop, and a winner from the comments, who will win all the design team cards featured on the blog hop. Number two, there's a cage match between Suzy's two design teams; the Stamp of the Month Club design team and the "other" design team. Haha, yes, I'm on the SAM Club design team, so you know who I'm rooting for.

The way this challenge works is, I'll be linking up the card below to the challenge link on Suzy's blog. You go and vote for your favorite design team project. Suzy sent random stamps to everyone to create with, so all the projects will have different stamps. Which ever project wins the votes, that design team member wins the cards from the rest of the team. Be sure you check out all the details on both events today at the So Suzy Stamps Blog.

And, here's the inside:

The challenge comes to a screeching halt on March 3rd, 2016. Good luck!

Cocoa Card for The Ribbon Resource and Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Hop

Welcome to the Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop!

If you love coffee, cocoa or tea and making cards, this is the place for you! You can link up your winter themed beverage card right at the link below. There's lots of prizes and so much inspiration to be had; you don't want to miss it!

Winter Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop

Since National Cocoa Day is Dec. 13th, I thought I'd create a fun cocoa card today, for The Ribbon Resource, Super Sponsor of this event.

This card features several fun ribbon embellishments including silver twine snowflake centers, a glittery ribbon snow bank, a wired pearl Christmas tree and more. I even made my own little warm footie socks, to compliment the sentiment, from the Hello Winter collection by

Echo Park Paper. Stick around for a few minutes and follow along! It's easy enough for the kids to do too; cutting and taping - simple as that!

You'll need these ribbons: (Full supply list at end of post)

C-1-30 1" Gold Sheer Ribbon (4")

FY-34 3/16" Light Blue Wired Beads (10")

SE-31 1/8" Silver Curling Ribbon (8")

FF-5-31 1.5" Silver Sheer Glitter Dot Ribbon (16")

412-31 Silver and White Baker's Twine (10")

First, trim and score card to 5.5" x 6". To make the glittery snow banks, I trimmed my stitched die cut frame to the desired shape and length that I wanted, then ran my Xyron adhesive across the top, fully covering with adhesive. Lay down a 5" section of Sheer Glitter Ribbon and trim around the edges. Repeat for each snow bank, adding extra strips of ribbon if necessary for larger pieces. How easy is that?

Isn't it gorgeous? And so easy. No mess either, which is always a bonus.

(*Let me interrupt this message for an important announcement!! You can get this glitter ribbon in a 5 yard bundle for $6.95 right now, plus for every purchase before Christmas, you get a free 25 yard roll of ribbon, plus..... you may get free shipping when you head over to the the Ribbon Resource site and get the pop up box offer! Woo hoo! Merry Christmas to YOU!)

Next, I made little foot socks by drawing out my own little hand designed sock, then tracing the template on the back of two pieces of cardstock that I trimmed from the paper collection, approximately a 4" square. Just for fun, I ran my Xyron adhesive runner over the top of my square, then added the sheer gold ribbon. After tracing, I trimmed out my little socks. Now my socks have a little shimmer. Adorbs! One is popped up on a foam square, which adds some dimension. By the way, the sock dimension for each is approximately 1.5".

I thought I would go ahead and turn these little sock footies into a .png file and share it with you today, so you can upload to your preferred cutting file system. I've uploaded it to my Cricut Explore and can now cut as many of these cuties as I want on patterned paper, or to color in. Enjoy!

Save it to your computer by placing your cursor over the slipper sock, right click, and save. You can print this out and hand trim, or even use the Print and Cut feature of the Explore.

To finish things off, I wrapped a 10" strand of wired pearls around this tree and popped the tree out with foam squares. The little snowflake centers are easy to make by wrapping a section of twine around an adhesive dot. Tuck the end of your strip underneath and add another adhesive dot on the bottom to secure.

Make a little bow with the silver curling ribbon to accent the sentiment and you are done. Fun little details that make for a special card for the cocoa lover in your life.

Don't forget, The Ribbon Resource is giving one lucky winner a $25.00 gift card. Don't miss out! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my project today.

Day 2 Halloween Blog Hop / Ribbon Resource with Mini Ribbon Pumpkins

It's Day 2 of The Ribbon Resource Halloween Blog Hop with the Prima Ribbonistas! Be sure and check out all the fun halloween projects that the girls have created for this special 2 day event, and follow the instructions to be entered to win a gift card to the Ribbon Resource online store.

Here's the line-up for today's hop if you get lost along the way:

For my project, I've made some easy mini ribbon pumpkins for a light string.

It's as simple as rolling your ribbon and tying a knot! I only made four of these pumpkins because I ran out of ribbon (I've been using this gorgeous ribbon a lot!) so keep in mind you'll need a 32" strip for each pumpkin. The supply list below is for four pumpkins.

You will need these ribbons:

JE-28 1.5" Sheer Bittersweet Iridescent Ribbon (3.5 yrds)

QD-46 1.5" Sheer Green Polka Dot Ribbon (12")

To begin, cut your bittersweet ribbon into four 32" strips, or just grab your roll, and roll it around your fingers four times. Gently remove it from your hand, keeping intact.

Take one end of your ribbon and tuck it through your rolled loops, pulling out both ribbon ends from opposing sides

Bring your ends together at the top and tie a loose knot. Cut a 3" piece of your green polka dot ribbon and thread through the looped hole. Tie into a single knot, then pull the loose orange knot closed tightly. Pull your orange ribbon loops out and shape to form a pumpkin. Trim the ends as desired.

You can make a bunch of these to decorate your table, use with a place setting and a little name tag attached or, as pictured above, string lights through the center of your pumpkins and adhere with a little adhesive glue dot.

Fun, festive home decor that's easy to make. Once I got in the groove, it took about 1 minute to make each pumpkin. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Now, hop on over to Emily's blog....

If you get lost, start at the beginning at The Ribbon Resource Blog. Be sure and visit yesterday's post if you missed Day 1.

Additional supplies:

10 light string

Adhesive Dots

Welcome to Challenge # 25 here at DoubleClick Skittles!

I'm so happy to have been selected for the Doubleclick Connection Design Team! Everyone has been so welcoming and I know I'm going to love it here. A quick little something about me: I'm married with a 13 year old son and between the 3 of us, we play guitar, piano, saxophone, a little mandolin, bass violin and drums. We all sing as well. In my downtime, I love to whip up a gourmet meal with help from my son who also loves to cook. I'm a freelance craft blogger, writing the occasional craft article, Guest Design occasionally and last summer, was the Guest Blogger and Show Photographer for the Craft and Hobby Association's Paper Arts trade show in 2014. To "pay the bills", I work for an agency that serves children with disabilities. And, that's enough about me!

Challenge Date: June 24 - July 7

This is our former guest bedroom and now, craft/nostalgia room. It doubles as my hubby's nostalgia and record collection. He has the closet and some shelf space, I have the rest of the room, which explains massive stuff everywhere!

The ugly wallpaper? Yeah, just ignore that....another project for another day, haha.

Here's my little crafty corner of the room. My refurbished student desk and some fun storage panels that I recently made to have better access to the products I use the most.

This is the bookcase where I store my ribbons, stamps, punches and collection of paper. Lots of embellishments and inks, as well.

This little nook sits right next to my desk and is where I keep my favorite stacks of paper and adhesives, close at hand. That's one of my hubby's hand-me-down pieces of antique furniture.

This is another little spot where my husband and I duke it out. Crafting versus nostalgia.....

I think crafting is going to win! That decorative Kaisercraft house? I made that last year and it houses a lot of my little embellishments, such as sequins, buttons, etc.

And, finally, here's the view from the doorway.

Now, head on over to visit Kim......

I'm giving away a little blog candy as well today. A brand new package of Spellbinders Golden Glow ink from the Celebra'tions collection, 5 Adornit Art Play Paintable coloring images from the Hello Collection and a 12" piece of "handmade with love" May Arts Ribbon from my personal stash.
