Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Challenge #6...Dew Drops

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend, so far. This week, SSH has a new challenge going on for you. Please be sure to pop on over and check out the complete details. There is some nice goodies just waitin', for a winner. Part of the challenge is to create, using dew drops. As you can see, I decided to create using red and green glass dew drops. Perfect for the strawberry DSP.

It was raining dew drops on this card and on the paper crafted ice cream cone as well. For this challenge I used one of Little C's newest items in stock, CC Designs "Sweet Kiki". It's kinda hard to tell but the ice cream cone Sweet Kiki is holding, is covered with stickles.

Here's a couple more ice cream cones that I created as a RAK, for some of the Glama Gurlz, at last month's gathering. I know...it's so sad that it took this loooooooong to post. The original cones were embellished with either pink brads or pink pearls. The latest cone (shown above), sportin' the pink dew drops, was actually created to fit in with my card theme and dew drop challenge. I was very pleased with how cute these cones (filled with mini candy bars) turned out. Though I must be honest, it was not my brilliance, intellectual thinking. The idea was cased and the template can be found by clicking here.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and much blessings to YOU! Aloha...

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii's Challenge #5...It's a Sketch!

Hello everyone, although I'm a little behind in posting our SSH's Challenge for the week, I hope you will still be blessed by what Jen has challenged us with and join in. Pop on over and check it out for yourself. The special winner will receive one of the Popcorn Bear stamp sets from Little C's!

Here is the sketch we were all challenged with....

I loved this week's sketch, it was a fun one to work with. Along with the sketch, the SSH's DT were also challenged to incorporate "Popcorn Bear" in our creation and here is what I came up with...
This adorable set is called "Christmas Hugs". It's a very versatile set which can be used not only during the Christmas holidays but for other occasions as well. The DS paper is from Three Bugs..."Oh What Fun" kit. Which can also be purchased at Little C's. To touch it up a little, stickles were added to the yellow duck and Popcorn Bear's paws.

Here's a look of the inside. The sentiment used is also part of this "Christmas Hugs" set.
Although the inside has a fairly simple finish to it, I'm pleased as to how the overall card turned out. Hope you will be not only inspired but, excited at having a chance to win one of these adorable sets for yourself. So hurry on up and...create, create, create!

Thank you for stopping in. Have a very blessed day in the Lord. Enjoy and Aloha!

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii Challenge #4...Buttons!

Aloha all! The weekend is soon gone and another busy but wonderful week soon to begin. Hope your weekend was as beautiful as it was here, in Hawaii. Beautiful, beautiful weather.

Speaking of Hawaii, take a peek at this week's challenge on Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii. It's all about BUTTONS! Pop on over and see what the rest of the DT, has in stored for you. Then, come on and join in. There's a prize awaiting one lucky winner.

Here is my take on SSH's button challenge. This card was actually created prior to the challenge (like months ago) and given out as a RAK to some of LittleC's Glama Gurlz. The original (sorry no photo) was never posted on Heartful Stamping so I thought, "What better time to show case it, then through this button challenge!?!" So, I went to work and did a little adjusting to it. The original card was kinda more simplified with only two flowers and a dew drop. After the adjustment...here is what it looks like now.

The altered version has more flowers, ANA leaves, and of course, buttons.

"Tilda", flowers, and ANA leaves can all be purchased at LittleC's. Check them out and see the variety of products they carry, at such a great price.

Till the next time, I thank you for stopping by and blessing me with your visit. Have a wonderful week. Aloha and God bless

Stamp n' Scrap Featured "Aloha" Blogger...

Aloha all! Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. It's a beautiful day here in Hawaii. We're off and on our way to the "How To Walk" conference hosted by KLHT radio and Calvary Chapel Honolulu. Although there are lots of great speakers scheduled, I am so looking forward to hearing Greg Laurie and his awesome testimony, once again.

Before we leave out the door however, I would like to share with you, SSH's featured "Aloha" blogger. As Jen (LittleC's) would put it... Queen of HK projects..... Enjoli Bennett!!! Pop on over to her blog and you shall see why. Although there were many, many great creations by Enjoli that inspired me, here is the one I chose to work with...cupcakes.

I saw this "Box of Cupcakes" awhile ago on Inking Idaho and has always wanted to create one. What better time to bring out Enjoli's work, I thought. I wasn't sure as to how, I would decorate the cupcakes until I went and browsed through Enjoli's blog and, taadah...there it was, a perfect cupcake.

This box is a very good size, designed to hold 6-8 embellished cards and envies.

This is what it looks like from the top, looking into the box through it's cupcake shaped window.

Here's a set of (4) standard cards created just for this cute box. The inner side of the cards have also been stamped and colored. Sorry no photo

Well, it's time to head out the door. Thank you for stopping in, till the next time...Aloha and God Bless.

Stamp n' Scrap- Challenge #3

First of all, hope you all are having a beautiful Sunday. Up early, ready to make breakfast for my wonderful hubby and beautiful girls, then off to some great fellowship in the Lord....church. Can't wait to hear what Pastor Bill will be teaching today.

Wanted to share a real quickie with you. This week's SSH challenge is to create something using this color combo AND...using images from Dandelion Designs. Not only does DD have the cutest lil' images but, they were so generous in sponsoring this week's challenge. I hope you will be inspired to join on in and check out what SSH have in stored for you. While there, have a look at all the other creations by SSH's DT.

I chose to create, using DD's "Good Pals" image and this is what I came up with. Something really fast and so last minute (lol). Why do I wait until (almost) the very LAST minute...I dunno!?! I guess I like the rush...hee, hee j/k. Just in case you're wondering...a pink dog!?! Yes...in our home we have pink dogs. Stuffed ones, that is (smile). Besides, I needed somehow to incorporate the color, what better way then to use the dog. The sentiment "Your friendship blesses me..." was computer generated. The note card(s) holder is cricut's version of SU's top note die and the tiny flowers were also cut using the cricut. I used CB embossing folders on the front of the holder and SU's slit punch to create the scallop edging. Each note card measures at 3x5.

I am very blessed by your visit today. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day with your family and friends. As always...Aloha and God bless!

Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii- Challenge #2

Happy Aloha Friday and hope your day is just as beautiful, wherever you may be, as it is in Hawaii. This has got to be one of the most beautiful days, anyone could ask for. Bright, sunny, blue skies, and a nice breeze with the fragrance of the plumeria flowers in the air. Wow!!! God is truly so good and it is by His hands that this great beauty was created. My girls are off in the family room entertaining one another and just laughing and giggling away. I love it. As their mommy, it blesses my heart to hear (and see) the joy in their spirit and their little hearts. I am truly blessed. Thank you Lord!

Now, as for the week's SSH challenge, we were given this very beautiful image to work off of. Check out those colors. Don't they make the prettiest combo? Yes, the layout and details are great but...I was so inspired by the color combo. Very gorgeous and vibrant. However I selected only certain colors to work with and this is what I ended up with...

I was so inspired by the beautiful Accordion bags/purses that Maria (Stampin' Inspirations...) created and decided to take a try at it. My 11 y/o needed a gift holder to put her little bags of trinkets in, that she will be giving to one of her girlfriends. Perfect! I had the perfect gift holder in mind, for her. So there I went, on to creating it. Of course I geared toward the younger age.

I love the "Girlie" images from Penny Black. As I mentioned earlier, it reminds me much of my girls. This image "Always Here", the DS paper kit "Blossom", and the designer ribbons are just a few of many items sold at Little C's.

Just as any other project, the measurements of this Accordion Purse can be adjusted according to one's needs. In our case, this will suit the need of the little trinket gift bags just perfectly.

Purse Details:
Stamp: "Always Here" by Penny Black (Little C's)
Paper: "Blossom" kit by Three Bugs...(Little C's)
Ink: SU! markers
Accessories: ribbons, stickles, designer brad, scallop & circle punches, oval nesties, CB Dots folder.

I appreciate you stopping by. Pop on in at Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii to check out what the rest of the DT's came up with. Hope you will be inspired. Till then...Aloha and God bless~

Happy Tuesday! It's color time again. Yep, this week's "LCWC" is a color combo. Check out the beautiful set of colors we DT's were challenged with.

For this challenge and the purpose of this card, I chose to use an "Anya" image. I think, they are just so adorable. I applied purple stickles to her crown and frosted stickles to her wand. The DS paper, Maroon CS, and sentiment are all of SU! and the vanilla CS is unknown (sorry). Designer brads and prima flowers were purchased from my favorite online store =)...Little C's.

Christmas Stampin All Year Long...Challenge #5

First of all...Happy Monday all! Well here we are, already on our fifth challenge of the year for "CSAYL". My, how this year is just moving along. For this round, Maria not only challenged the blog team with a sketch but...a color combo in addition. Which I thought was so cool. Here is the sketch we were all challenged with and the color combo is...pink, purple, & blue.

Below is my take on this challenge. This too was kinda a really quick, last minute rush job. The image, DS paper, CS, and scallop punch are all from Stampin' Up. I also used a CB embossing folder and some lavender gem stones, to top off.

The gem stones actually added a nice touch to the card, IRL. Here's a close up view. Don't forget to hop on over and check out the rest of the team's creations for this challenge. While there come along and play! Thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate you and your sweet comments and encouragement. Have a wonderful day in Jesus!

Christmas Stampin All Year Long...Challenge #4

Happy Presidents Day everyone! Wow Monday is already here and so is another round of CSAYL's challenge. This is the sketch Maria challenged us with. But...along with this sketch she added a little twist to it. At the request of CSAYL's readers, a snowman image was to be included into our design. Great!!! We love snowmen. So the blog team went to work and wah la!!! It was done. Check out all their fabulous work here. Hope you will be inspired and play along with us.

The first thing I thought of when it came to snowmen were, of course, snowflakes. So here I went again, with my cricut, to create that huge gigantic (chipboard) snowflake. I got a kick out of it, the size and all (lol). IRL, it is very pretty with that glittered effect. I dunno...do real snowflakes ever get that huge? We island girls, really don't know, hmmmmmmm...and...being from Southern Cali, the only snow I've ever experienced were in the mountains, already fallen. So...hmmm...

I love this snowman stamp. It's part of SU!'s "Holiday Woodcuts" set. And the sentiment is part of the "Flaky Friends" set, also from SU!

Card Details:
Stamps: snowman & sentiment (SU!)
Paper: CS & DP (SU!)
Ink: markers (SU!), versacraft blk ink
Accessories: cricut cartridge (Accent Essentials), glitter, ribbons, brads, embossing powder

Hope you enjoyed your visit today and as always, I appreciate you. Have a very blessed day with your family and remember...Jesus loves you!

Happy Tuesday all! Another day for Little C's Weekly Challenge. This time around we have decided to challenge the diva's with a Valentine card, using a color combo. The selected colors are Red, White, and Blue.

Paper: Stock (SU), DS (unknown)
Ink: SU markers
Accessories: Flowers (Little C's), Dew Drops, CB Embossing Folders, Stickles

Tis' The Season...Take Three

Aloha Everyone! Today is our Christmas Stampin' All Year Long's sketch challenge three. Check out the sketch Maria challenged us with. It's great right!?! Looks fairly simple, right!?! So why did I wait until the very last second (before it was due), to create my card??? Why, why, why??? I have to STOP! doing that. It was such a rush job and no one else to blame but me, myself, & I!!! (lol). Although I must admit, it was a fun card to make and I guess it's safe to say that I'm pleased with it, after all.

For a great lift, check out the rest of "CSAYL" divas and their take on this challenge. Hope you'll be inspired and come along and play. Lots of time left to jump in. Have fun and enjoy!

Okay now, here I share with you my very last minute card. In other words...my rush job (lol). I just love this stamp. It's gotta be the cutest. This image is "Snow Family" from Penny Black, which I picked up from Little C's just two days ago and couldn't wait to use it. I created the background using a CB embossing folder, puffy velvet for the rims of their snow caps, and designer snaps (also purchased from Little C's).

As for my snowflake charm, I created this first by cutting out a few snowflakes. Using the cricut, the cartridge "Accent Essentials", and Jen's tutorial on how to create your own chipboard, I went to town. Once my snowflake chipboard was done, I then colored it with a Stampin' Up marker and piled tons of crystal glitter all over it, giving it that crystal effect. IRL this snowflake turned out so pretty. Card Details:
Stamp: "Snow Family" (Penny Black)
Paper: Stock (SU)
Ink: SU markers
Accessories: Ribbon, Glitter, Cricut cartridge "Accent Essentials", Puffy Velvet, Designer Snaps

Have a great week...Aloha and God bless!
