Little Monster
Hey there...back to share some more cards!! Today's cards feature one of my faves, Little Monster. For this first card, I stamped 2 images (cutting off one arm from each monster...ouch!!!) along with 2 extra hands...and made 2 little monster pals:
Word stamp is #A118 (Pals). For the next card, I made a Thanksgiving card:
To make this card, I cut my card stock to 4-1/2" high x 5" wide. Score at 1-1/4" from each side. Stamp your sentiment on the inside of the card (paper-piecing the heart)...stamp 1 Little Monster and 2 hand stamps (each hand holding 1 leaf)...punch out a heart (and cut in half) ... cut 2 more leaves:
Glue both halves of your heart as shown below:
Next, glue your monster to the inside of the card...then glue the stem half of your first leaf to the left card flap, as shown below:
Match up the two leaves so that they're interlocked...then glue down the stem half of your second leaf to the right card flap:
Tie a ribbon around your card to hold everything together. I know this is an unusual sized card...I liked the long and skinny look of it...click here to get an envelope pattern for this card.
I decorated the front by masking one leaf over the other:
Hope you're all having a great weekend so far!!!

A Re-Do
Thanks for the suggestions on how to improve my "turkey favor" from yesterday's post...make the tail wider!!!! ok...got it!!! (Can you tell I'm a city girl?) Let's give it another try...click here for an updated pattern. How's this?
I tweaked the first pattern a little, but the instructions are pretty much the same. One difference is to cut the patterned paper to 3" x 4", then fan fold the top like before:
I changed the back a bit to cut down on the bulkiness. Now I have just one tab on the backside. Fill the bag with your treats and use double stick tape to close the bag, as shown below:
Oh...and take a look at Saskia's blog...Halloween is already passed and I'm only now getting around to linking to her adorable project.
Have a great night!!

This Didn't Really Turn Out Exactly The Way I Imagined, But I'll Share It Anyway
Since Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, I had a great idea to make a turkey favor with stamp #A152 (Turkey Face)...the only thing is that it turned out looking more like a rooster!! But, since I already made it, I thought I'd share it with you anyway...lol
Click here for a simple pattern. ETA: This pattern has been revised...see 11/9/10 post to see sample of adjusted pattern). I used brown mailing paper for the bag...cutting on the solid lines and folding on the dotted lines. Use double stick tape to seal the bottom of the bag. Next, stamp and color in the face and glue a 2" x 4" patterned paper to the top/front of the bag (this will be the tail feathers). Fold the sides in like a regular brown paper bag...starting at the top edge of the bag, make 8 scored lines (1/2" apart)...then score once more, 1" away. Fill the bag with your treats...then following the scored lines, fan-fold the top of the bag. Pull up the top of the fan and staple together (as shown below):
Use 2 glue dots between folds, as shown below (I used pop dots for the photo, so you could see them better):
And one glue dot on the back:
Hmmmm...maybe if I made the "head" smaller:
What do you think?

Forgot About These...
Happy October!!! Last month while I was doing some giveaways, I made this little box for the winner of the 3 holiday face stamps...it fits 3 of our Dandelion "A" size stamps perfectly. I took a picture of it and then forgot about it in my camera:
Click here for a simple pattern. Cut along the solid lines and fold along the dotted lines. Use double stick tape on the 4 tabs. Wrap the cover piece around the assembled box and secure ends with double stick tape. Here's what the stamps look like in the box:
As it turns out...it's also the perfect size for 3 Ferrero Rocher candies...I love these because they already come with their own little paper cups!!!
Also, I got an extra surprise in the mail...it's from Brenda (Sweet as a Gumdrop)...Thanks, Brenda...these sure are sweet!!! Be sure to stop by and see all the adorable creations Brenda has on her blog!!!
I'm working on more Halloween ideas...hope to post them soon!!!

Today's Winner is....
Debbie!!! Congratulations, Debbie!!! You know the routine...email your address to me and I'll send the stamps out to you!!! Debbie's comment said that she had ZERO stamps...WHA-T?? Well..I'm honored that Dandelion will be your first stamps, Debbie!!!
Now, on to today's project. From your comments, it seems like most of you are at least starting to think about the upcoming holidays. With that in mind...here are more ideas for the holidays:
Oh...before I begin...let me share the inspiration behind this project. Everyday when I run my errands, I pass by a house that's surrounded by a fence. Just over the fence, I can catch a glimpse of the backyard with a big mango tree...from the tree, they have a bunch of paper lanterns hanging here and there, at different levels. I don't know why, but it always makes me feel happy to see that. Anyway, here's my attempt to re-create those lanterns using 3 of my new "face" stamps for the holidays:
Can you imagine a bunch of these hanging on your trees leading the trick-or-treaters up to your front door?
Or some of these decorating your home or Christmas tree?
Or some of these as a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving meal?
They're so easy and fast to make!! I picked up the battery-operated candles at Ben Franklin (put a strip of double stick tape around the base of the candle (as shown below):
Cut a piece of vellum (I'm on a vellum kick!!) to 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" (of course, you can change the second number to vary the height of your "lantern"). I don't know if you can see it, but there's also a piece of double stick tape down the length (left side in photo, above) of the backside of the paper. Simply wrap the vellum around the candle (PLEASE, don't use real candles!!) and tape the 2 edges together in the back.
A few extra notes: When working with vellum, I stamp with Staz-On permanent ink and color the image from the backside of the paper. For the turkey candle, I used a handmade mulberry paper instead of vellum. To get the torn appearance at the top of the candle...I simply wet the top edge of the paper (i just put a little line of water with my fingers)...then carefully tear off the edge.
Here's today's giveaway:
To enter the drawing for these stamps, leave me a comment by midnight (Hawaii time) on Thursday, August 26...tell me something that gives you inspiration when you're creating. I'll pick one winner at random and announce their name on Friday, August 27.
Before I go, I wanted to share some goodies I got in the mail from Carole:
Aren't they too cute? She's already used some of my new stamps!!! (I'll be using that Fuzzy Bear in an upcoming project). Can you believe that she created all 3 projects from one sheet of 12 x 12 paper?? Thanks for sharing your creativity, Carole!!!
Have a great Wednesday!!!
