The Creative Beehive: July 2014

Happy Owloween!

This is our first project of the month of August. There will be more cutesy, clever or creepy creations coming up this month.

This cute 4" x 5" little owl came from CTMH August stamp of the month ( S1408 ) and I used the Scaredy Cat cardstock (X7185B). I started by stamping the owl and his accessories then colored them. I used Liquid glass on the hat and on the pumpkin to give it dimension. The owl mask has glitter to make it a focal point.

I glued the owl in an angle to a 2" black circle. Trim the bottom of the owl using the outline of the circle as a guide. Attach the owl circle to a 2 1/2" scallop circle. Now the owl looks like is coming out from a hole. Embellish as I did in this picture. Have fun with it!

Fall Harvest

This is July Stamper with an Attitude " Bling it up" Blog Hop. I have just joined this wonderful group of stampers and decide to see what a blog hopper was all about. Below, is a list of all the participant in the Blog hop. I come right after Fawn Carriker (#12) and you should check out Denise Elliott ( #14) after you finish checking out my blog.

This Month challenge is "Bling it up" with an attitude. I love everything that shines and sparkle so it should not be to hard to embellish it. Check this out.. What a great way to embellish a gift! Don't you think?

Supplies needed:
Cashmere cardstock X5932
Barn Red cardstock X5637
Colonial White cardstock 1388
Complimentary print paper( Huntington Pkg)

Ribbon
Liquid Glass
CTMH stamp set "Fall Harvest" C1504

Cut 1 piece 2 1/2" x 7" from the Cashmere cardstock . Punch a 1 1/2" circle at one end. Adhere a 2 1/4" x 6 3/4" from the B&T Duo. Punch out over the existing hole again so you cut out the printed paper. Set aside. Stamp your leaves on the Colonial White cardstock. Watercolor your leaves and trim. I used liquid glass on the acorn to give it dimension. Arrange leaves and glue them. Add a 3-D foam tape to the acorn on top of the leaves and finish it off with a couple of rhinestones and ribbon. Finished size: 2 1/2" x 7"
