Hatter Hat Stands

~ sproatmeyer ~ 23 Comments

Today is a start of a lazy weekend where I have absolutely nothing planned on my calendar!  The shock and awe of it all is amazing!  I finished off my Friday evening settled down to a movie – Julie & Julia – which was making me super hungry for something hearty.  In the movie, I just love it when her sister comes to visit.  LOL  So my card for today is another one I had made for the Hatter scrap party last week as one of the door prizes.

This fun card uses one of the Hatter Hat Stands and just the hat from Emily Rose Hatter from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and combines them for a perfect pair.  The hat stand was stamped on white paper then run through the die cutting machine. To get the hat all by itself, I stamped the top part of Emily Rose Hatter then after coloring it I cut closely around the hat. Then I used dimensionals to pop it up and positioned it on the hat stand.   

For embellishments I used some of my many corduroys buttons, which I have a whole box full, and some turquoise lace ribbon.  I wish I had a ribbon iron that I saw used at a scrap night a while ago – it would have been perfect for this lace that was bunched up.  However, my Mom rescued me and brought over a tiny quilting iron and the smallest ironing board I have ever seen.  It fit perfectly on my work space and I think it might be a better solution to the ribbon iron because I can use it for more things.  Thanks Mom!

That’s the end of this project and about all I can think about.  😀  Later on today I have a surprize Zombie gift set (really, you’ll be super surpized by these Zombies) and tomorrow be sure to come back for a little blog candy!

Payton

Can you believe it’s Thursday already?  I can’t believe I’m off another day this week – where is the time going?!  Today is an inspirational day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and even though I’m a little late (hay, I’m the boss so it’s ok this time.  LOL), I don’t want to miss out sharing one of my Father’s Day cards this year.  Check it out…

The image I used is Payton from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and is the perfect image for my dad who loves to fish.  In fact, this could possibly have be me when I was a kid which is why it’s perfect for Father’s day.  The dragonfly chippies are from Make it Crafty and the Papa sentiment stamp is from Stampin’ Up.

I don’t remember the paper I used but I thought the wood going horizontal would look a little like a dock and the browns would help the card look more masculine.  I also tried to stay away from curved lines but the circle fans in the decorative paper still help give it a soft look without screaming “feminine.”

If you get a chance make sure to head on over to the Little Miss Muffet Blog to see the design team’s inspiration – it’s a day we all got to play so there are some wonderful ideas!  Thanks for dropping by.  *Hugs

Iris May Hatter

~ sproatmeyer ~ 8 Comments

Here’s a quick project that I did for a Hatter Party we had at our local scrapbook store over the weekend.  A bunch of us got together to celebrate the new rubber stamp releases from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and had a crop day.  For some of the door prizes I created three different card kits and this was one of them. 😀

For this card kit I used Iris May Hatter from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and the “Hatty Birthday!” sentiment which I include free with any rubber stamps order (while supplies last).  I used paper piecing to get most of the coloring done so all I worried about was her hair, purse and skin.

For the background I used an embossing folder from Stampin’ Up on the pink a white gel pen on the decorative paper for a small border.  Finally added some rose ribbon, stamped the sentiment and added a silver brad which says “Genuine” on it.

I think the paper was from Authentic but I don’t have it handy to get the exact name.  It was a fun quick card and I hope you enjoy it!  Thanks for dropping by and come back later for some more new release projects coming your way.

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Update: I was the winner at Scrapalicious USA for this project!

Metal Shroom & Breena Stitching

~ sproatmeyer ~ 6 Comments

I’ve finally got around to making some more journal pages and I’m happy to share one with you today.  😀  This is for the Make it Colourful challenge this week which is to practice color metals, specifically to color copper!  Think you can handle that?  Well, it’s pretty simple and we even give you a couple color combinations to try out.  Come on over and check out the MiC Gallery!


 For my project I used the Metal Shrooms from Make it Crafty with some Dragonfly chippies then paired it with Breena Stitching from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. The corduroy buttons are from Stampin’ Up and the metal embellishment sentiment is from Tim Holtz.  I don’t remember where the paper came from but the ribbon was something I picked up at the local scrapbook store.  Other than the cheesecloth, I think that pretty much covers all the supplies.


Now down to the metal coloring part and for my image I experimented with copper, brass and steel.  A little back history… when I was a wee kid, I used to help my Father when he was making repairs.  I might have been in the way a little more than I knew but I always felt like the important assistant holding the tools and passing along the wrenches.  Anyway, we’d work a lot with copper, new and aged, so my color combination came from my memories of what copper looks like.


The colors I used for the copper is E13, E93, E95, E97 and E99 then for the aged look I added BG93 and BG96.   I put the BG color near seams and places water might frequently drip down.  I think it would be great to have more of a shine but sometimes copper has a dull finish to it so I guess it’s still acceptable.   


The fairy I used was already colored and I thought would be fun to pair up with the shrooms.  Of course, fairies and mushrooms are always a great combination but the contrast between soft textiles (the thread) and the metal was an interesting combination that I wanted to explore.  Actually, I had both images colored up and on the side of my desk so it felt good to get some of those used. 


That’s about it… come on over and play this week at Make it Colourful and let’s see what color combinations you use!  By the way, this is my last page in my journal book and I’m excited to start a new one!!  LOL  Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend.  😀

Bicycle

Welcome to a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!! Our theme for this fortnight is “April Showers” and you can represent that in your image, decorative paper, accessories or coloring. So make sure you head on over to the LMM Challenge blog and check out the design team’s amazing creations!!


For my project I used Bicycle from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and my challenge theme comes in the form of coloring rain. The image was one I’ve had colored for a while so all I need to do was add some grass, rain and raindrops. Then I saw what Shelby had done with her raindrops and was inspired to use glitter glue on mine too. 😀


For the raindrops, I first used the white gel pen and on the other side I used W10 to create a shadow. Then I used B41 to color the center and finally topped it off with Stickles, glitter glue. It’s actually rather easy and can be done to any image.


The image was rather large so I kept the rest of the card pretty simple and at last minute I tucked some ribbon scraps into the edges.

Hatty Birthday

Welcome back! Today I have a couple cards I’m going to show off and I’ll start the morning with a few “Hatty Birthday” ones from Little Miss Muffet Stamps! It’s also a reminder that there are 18 digital stamps retiring today and it’s your last chance to get them before I take them down… you have until tonight at 8:00pm Central US Time!

But don’t worry about these cuties being gone forever… that selection of Hatters and Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls are now available in rubber! Just click HERE to see the entire selection of rubber stamps. 😀


Now, I have a little bit of inspiration to share using the Hatters rubber stamps! There are eight cards all together but four of them are shown here and the other four are on the LMMS Challenge & Release Blog. In case you’re wondering, the “Hatty Birthday” sentiment if a freebie I include for you when you purchase any of the Hatters in rubber!

Thanks for stopping by and for being a part of our previews for the new releases! I hope you’ve been inspired to color or craft something today and have a great weekend! *Hugs
