12 Days of Christmas (Day Seven)

 

Welcome back to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Seven)! This hop will take place  November 24th through December 5th. Each of us will be posting something Christmas related each and every day at 8:00am, Eastern time (so for my Pacific Time Zone peeps... that's 5am... But don't worry, you can sleep in, and we'll all be here waiting for you, too!)... for 12 WHOLE DAYS! Let us inspire you to finish up that layout, make some special Christmas cards, or wrap that gift in a fun and festive way. If you've already started, you probably came from Barbara. She is so awesome, isn't she? Let's continue this 12-day crafting party!

Alrighty now and again...  I've said in Day One, I'm starting my portion of the hop with paper things. Things that are simple and easy to do. As with Day Two,  Day Three,  Day Four, Day Five, and Day Six... We are still with the Christmas things meaning all things Christmas! and still with simple [paper] crafts. Today, though... I'm stretching it a tad still. We are still decorating for Christmas in my house. "What does that still have to do with it?" you ask... Um.. Cardboard or Papier Mache that's French for paper mache... is still paper, right? Right. I guess I'm not stretching it that much. And that's ok, too.

The ornaments went up today. And my 10-year-old pointed out all the ones she'd made. One of them being the paper mache spoken of above... She let me know that she is crafty, too. And she could make one of my projects. Hmmm... I told her to pick out her most recent... (lol!) And she gave me THIS:

I love Girl Scouts. And my daughter does, too. My older girls played sports... softball then swimming (remember... I'm a swim official/referee? I've posted funky fun pics...) My 10yo doesn't prefer sports... so I enrolled her in Girl Scouts. We do so many fun things together. She created this at a Girl Scout Christmas party she was invited to...

 She glued on paper, cut it up... glued on buttons, used part of the paper as a closed mouth, glued on googly eyes... Then she tore a candy cane she says that is a "bite" out of it and glued the candy cane down.

She and I hope you enjoy it. And thank you all for letting her help participate in the 12 Days of Christmas!

Now don't do too much damage at Cyber Monday! I won't... still waiting on that dang bankcard!

Remember... There's more in store for you, so hop along and please comment on each and everybody. 'Cause you know we all love a little love... And BE SURE to check out the "other" Lisa, as she's the one with all the blog candy and sponsor info! Have a great time, and don't forget to come back tomorrow!

12 Days of Christmas (Day Six)

Did you partake in Support a Small Business Saturday? I sure did... although I'm a little on the outs with most, as I lost my bankcard last week, and can only currently order from places that take PayPal until I get my new card. Kind of a bummer... but I saved a whole lot, without going anywhere. (In other words... I probably bought WAY less than YOU did! Neener neener... and that's how I feel better about not being able to shop this weekend!)

Welcome back to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Six)! This hop will take place  November 24th through December 5th. Each of us will be posting something Christmas related each and every day at 8:00am, Eastern time (so for my Pacific Time Zone peeps... that's 5am... But don't worry, you can sleep in, and we'll all be here waiting for you, too!)... for 12 WHOLE DAYS! Let us inspire you to finish up that layout, make some special Christmas cards, or wrap that gift in a fun and festive way. If you've already started, you probably came from Barbara. She is so awesome, isn't she? Let's continue this 12-day crafting party!

Alrighty now...  I've said in Day One, I'm starting my portion of the hop with paper things. Things that are simple and easy to do. As with Day Two,  Day Three,  Day Four, and Day Five... We are still with the Christmas things meaning all things Christmas! and still with simple [paper] crafts. Today, though... I'm stretching it a tad. We are decorating for Christmas in my house. "What does that have to do with it?" you ask... Um.. My paper craft? It's a PUZZLE! that I didn't put together!!!!

Anyone who knows me, knows I love all things Coca-Cola except that crappy new retro stuff and Polar Bears (even the Coca-Cola ones) should one be decorative (in the home) at Christmastime and Santa Claus. So... for my birthday last year, my friend put together a puzzle for me with my two materialistic iconic loves. Coca-Cola and Santa Claus. Yes, I know it's a really bad picture. Get over it. Since it's Christmastime, I'll even say Please Get Over It. It's not worth it. Really. Choose your battles.

It's fairly large... poster sized. And it came to me freshly put-together. So... I Mod-Podged it. Twice. I love the look of brush strokes (you can't see them in the picture, I tried to capture it, and it didn't work, so my lazy butt gave up on it), so I brushed one way and let it dry, then the other think hashtag, cross-hatching, or whatever your heart desires, so it gave it a canvas-y look. Huh! A puzzle on canvas. Why didn't I think of that! You might think it's nuts, but I really really REALLY like textures, and you can totally get that on your own, by applying in crosshatches, but drying the coats in between so as not to mess up blend the "both ways" strokes. Oh yeah... and then I glued it down to a larger cardboard. Two words. Gorilla. Glue. Love. It.

 

Next up? A frame. Uh. Wow. Even on sale... Michaels, Joann's Aaron's, and other framers cost fortune. Yikes! So... that's where my actual project comes in. Not only were these framers rather expensive, I didn't see a single thing I liked. I wanted regal. I wanted it to look antique and Old World and just awesome. And I couldn't find it. I looked EVERYWHERE! So I begged my Handy Dandy Husband to make me one!

 

I scoured Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace, friends' houses, EVERYWHERE to find the perfect molding. I found it. Scored it at Lowe's. I gave my Handy Dandy Husband the measurements and told him I wanted the corners mitered... He put it all together. And handed it over to ME! There'd be more pictures of the whole process but I was so excited about my project, I totally blitzed on taking them.

 

I glued it on top of the cardboard, so it exactly surrounded the puzzle, with a tiny bit hanging over the edge. Again. Two Words. Gorilla. Glue. Awesome stuff. Let it dry. Duh. Then I used a craft knife yes... because it is such a large surface, I did try a rotary cutter. Um. No. It will not cut at an angle... so the cardboard can be seen from the front of the puzzle. Does. Not. Work. For. Me. at an angle, similar to a mat cut. I wanted the cardboard adhered to the back to fade from view not be completely obtuse or amateur-looking. Got the look. Next?

 

Paint!!! Remember how I said I wanted it Old World, regal, antique yadda yadda yadda? I chose an antique gold and brushed it on after I put painter's tape all over the inside of the puzzle because yeah... I should've painted the dang frame first. Duh. And I'm sure that's what my Handy Dandy Husband was trying to tell me as I took/stole the new frame from him and ran towards the house. He was probably laughing his butt off when I had to go back out to get the painter's tape. I let it dry... Then I "antiqued" it by spraying Walnut Stain (Distress Ink) on it. I let it sit, then rubbed it into all the tiny nooks and crannies of the frame. I let it dry or so I thought and picked it up. The paint I chose was apparently a sealer, too. The stain didn't go "into" the paint and only stayed on top... never to dry..."  And so I rubbed it a tad more, then re-sealed it with another sealer on top of the "antique" look because the antique gold wasn't "antique" enough for me.

Close...

 Closer...

Even closer...

 

With the end result being...

And up on my wall... as we speak. I love it. Even with the minor setbacks of the inability for find what I wanted I feel so SPOILED, the soiled/stained hands, and the having to do more work because my ignorance, my arrogance, and my childlike impatience I didn't listen to my Handy Dandy Husband's words as I walked away with something he'd created for me... It is better than anything I saw ANYWHERE which is really good, because if you remember what I said earlier, I couldn't find it and had looked EVERYWHERE.

 

Since we are decorating, I thought I'd share with you a bit of my treasures...

I love small bits of lighting in a darkened room. So magical... With that, I bid you adieu. Be sure to scan the ads and get ready for Cyber Monday and hope I get my bankcard in the mail on Monday! but be sure to finish up Black Friday weekend with a bang. I'm back to work on Monday, as well... wish me luck. Only 3 weeks to go!

 

Oh wait! There is more in store for you, so hop along and please comment on each and everybody. 'Cause you know we all love a little love... And BE SURE to check out the "other" Lisa, as she's the one with all the blog candy and sponsor info! Have a great time, and don't forget to come back tomorrow!

12 Days of Christmas (Day Five)

Cheers to hoping you came out unscathed from the Black Friday Masses! Me? Totally bruise-free. I only went to Home Depot (because I happened to lose my bank card last week and didn't have enough cash to go anywhere else, and with no access to more cash... case closed.), where compared to "normal" BF shopping, it was a breeze! I did wind up with 9 poinsettias (at $.99 each... how could I go wrong???) and a new step-stool mini-ladder for the craftroom. And with that...

Welcome back to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Five)! This hop will take place  November 24th through December 5th. Each of us will be posting something Christmas related each and every day at 8:00am, Eastern time (so for my Pacific Time Zone peeps... that's 5am... But don't worry, you can sleep in, and we'll all be here waiting for you, too!)... for 12 WHOLE DAYS! Let us inspire you to finish up that layout, make some special Christmas cards, or wrap that gift in a fun and festive way. If you've already started, you probably came from Barbara. She is so awesome, isn't she? Let's continue this 12-day crafting party!

As I've said in Day One, I'm starting my portion of the hop with paper things. Things that are simple and easy to do. As with Day Two,  Day Three, and Day Four, I've had a major messup an awesome adventure or two doing something that was supposed to be so simple. Today, I made two cards. There it is, should it be that simple, but it's not... SURPRISE! I did not use a Cricut. I did not use ink. The only materials I used of my own were... A Cuttlebug. Red Tape.

"How?" you ask... Um... I used a kit. I tried my very hardest NOT to use anything else but what came in the kit. You have no flibbering clue how much self-control that took and how hard it really and truly was for me. If you follow me, you might know I recently moved from a small craftroom to a much bigger one. When you move, you find many, many, many, many things you may have forgotten not realize you had. Well, I found a whole lotta lotta lotta stuff! Enter the card kit...

It supposedly has everything you need. Lies! It's alright... just not something I would normally do. But hey... it was in my stash for YEARS! quite a while, and I figured I'd just better use up my stash so I have more room to put the new, incoming stash.

I chose to use a Cuttlebug to emboss both cards, because I thought it a bit too "manufactured" looking. And then... Oh the choices! Either the Spellbinders "Snowflake" or the Cuttlebug "Snowflake"... Hmmm... I choose CB! (only because I haven't fully organized everything and have no clue where I could possibly have put the rubber shim to adapt to the size of the Spellbinders Impression...) It falls a little short on the vertical scale, but it will do...

 Then... I applied the stickers that came with it. I am so not a sticker kinda gal... The glue on them was really weird; some kept coming off, while others had a residue on top, as well. Just remember to burnish stickers with your finger. Rub it really well!!! And make sure your hands are clean, first. No really. Really REALLY make sure your hands are clean, especially when using older stickers, as they tend to be sticky everywhere and will pick up all of the dirt any little spec or tiny bit of oil from your fingers. It came with ribbon... but no glue. So I used "red tape" (it's super strong, so really good for ribbon, and you can get it from various places, called by different names. But it's still got a red coating on it.). Be sure to cut a slit, so you can slide the tape to the inside (and the ribbon too) through, instead of wrapping around to the back of the card. Burnish the tap really well (while the red plastic is still on).

Peel the red tape off, adhere the ribbon (following the line of the tape and wrapping through the slit and towards the inside of the card) and burnish it with your finger. And it is done. Easy peasy. Just not my style. *** Note *** I totally wanted to use washi tape on all of the sides to make up for the empty space. And then I got over it.

This one was much easier to choose the embossing folder. I just wanted to semi-match the frame length. It was a tad hard, so I had to cut and place, cut and place, etc. Until it finally fit. End result... It will do...

Crap! Before you put the stickers on ANTHING and especially before you burnish it be sure your card is facing the position you intend. Hint: Try opening it first. See this? I had to peel it all off ad start over. And it left THIS icky sticky residual. Yuck.

I tried to put the crystals on. But they were just too big. And bulky. And hideous. And I just didn't like them. I think I would've liked them if they were much smaller and if I had an odd number. It was an even four.

The pom poms? Total loss. The colors don't even coordinate or compliment. I gave up on those.. and some of the leftover stickers, too. And I'll just save them all for another project because you know I'm a hoarder.

The final result is in...

 Maybe a little ink? Oh well... all is good, and I only stepped out of the package twice! It's a new world record!

There is more in store for you, so hop along and please comment on each and everybody. 'Cause you know we all love a little love... And BE SURE to check out the "other" Lisa, as she's the one with all the blog candy and sponsor info! Have a great time, and don't forget to come back tomorrow!

And don't forget to support your Mom & Pop stores today for Small Business Saturday. Enjoy online shopping!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Four)

First of all... I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and you were able to enjoy your friends and family. I also hope you are not currently incurring injury from the Black Friday masses. And with that...

Welcome to the back to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Four)! This hop will take place  November 24th through December 5th. Each of us will be posting something Christmas related each and every day at 8:00am, Eastern time (so for my Pacific Time Zone peeps... that's 5am... But don't worry, you can sleep in, and we'll all be here waiting for you, too!)... for 12 WHOLE DAYS! Let us inspire you to finish up that layout, make some special Christmas cards, or wrap that gift in a fun and festive way. If you've already started, you probably came from Barbara. She is so awesome, isn't she? Let's continue this 12-day crafting party!

As I've said in Day One, I'm starting my portion of the hop with paper things. Things that are simple and easy to do. As with Day Two and Day Three,  I took a cut from Design Space (covered by either my subscription or purchases -I don't remember!). Today, I created two cards. As usual, things didn't quite go my way, but if you know me... and you frequent here often, you knew that already. At this point, I've come to the conclusion that nothing will EVER go my way. And I fully intend to contact Cricut (both Customer Service and Tech Support) on another day, when the week isn't so hectic with all things Turkey-and-fixin's-cookin'. (btw... it was quite yummy at my house... How was yours?)

This one really truly brought out my frustration. Ugh. Ugh. I'm surprised I have any hair left.

I brought in a hexagon card from Design Space. I was going for super simple, no extra cutting, and just using the card cut and have Design Space do the writing of both the graphic and the sentiment on the front. Easy, right? Ugh. Ugh.

Let's start at the beginning... I added the hexagon card image and re-sized it according to what I wanted (5.5" wide, as I was going to duplicate it and get some more Christmas cards out of the way).

 Found an AWESOME "written" snowflake and added that and the sentiment in different colors, so the program would prompt me to change the pen, when it needed me to. I attached the snowflake to the sentiment...

Then placed that where I wanted and attached it all to the card...







It looks good, right?

 Sent it to the mat, changed the "1" to "2", clicked "Apply"... Still looks like it should....Wait for it...

And the writing stops...



The machine kept writing... It was "ghost writing". So I switched pens... Shouldn't have had to do that. It was a BRAND NEW PEN. And yes... they are all Cricut Explore Pens.

And it wrote again... Not in the same places, as it didn't line up. I don't know why. And kept skipping, as the pen kept popping up. Yes. I did make sure it was completely clicked down in the first place, the second place, the third place, the fourth place, the fifth place, and the sixth place. It popped up SIX times! And the dumb thing wouldn't even pause. And then it would (pause) when I hadn't even hit the pause button. BTW... when that happens... just hit the Cricut button on the machine, and it will (hopefully) resume. Mine did.



And if you look really close... it's not an illusion and doesn't change with the light! The color and pressure thickness look different. It really is. Why? This is WHY Customer Service and Tech Service will be getting a call! But hey! It cut just fine.

And now I had to do perform the Great Christmas Cover-Up... I added embellishments to both cover the blank spaces and distract the eye from the inconsistencies or massive lack of perfection.


Then I got over the major flaws (not really) and added Faber-Castell Gelatos in white to soften the effect and the harsh contours of the cut.

I blended the Gelatos with a finger sponge... and Voila!

Here are the end results... I'm not really happy with them... They will do...

I am hoping... the next time I decide to show my friend how "GREAT" the Cricut Explore Air is and all the wonderful things it can do, it will behave appropriately and do what it's supposed to...

There is more in store for you, so hop along and please comment on each and everybody. 'Cause you know we all love a little love... And BE SURE to check out the "other" Lisa, as she's the one with all the blog candy and sponsor info! Have a great time, and don't forget to come back tomorrow!

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Three)

Happy Thanksgiving, and WELCOME back to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop (Day Three)! This hop will take place  November 24th through December 5th. Each of us will be posting something Christmas related each and every day at 8:00am, Eastern time (so for my Pacific Time Zone peeps... that's 5am... But don't worry, you can sleep in, and we'll all be here waiting for you, too!)... for 12 WHOLE DAYS! Let us inspire you to finish up that layout, make some special Christmas cards, or wrap that gift in a fun and festive way. If you've already started, you probably came from Barbara. She is so awesome, isn't she? Let's continue this 12-day crafting party!

As I've said in Day One, I'm starting my portion of the hop with paper things. Things that are simple and easy to do. Today, I created another thing-a-ma-jig that was probably supposed to be done in vinyl. As with Day Two, I took a cut from Design Space (covered by my subscription)... this time, it was a circle-hanging with a fleur-de-lis. Again, I had to make a backing since it was probably designed for vinyl... so I added a circle and enlarged all to 11.5", so I could just use a 12x12 piece of cardstock.

Why did I not enlarge it to 12", you ask? Um... because you can't. Well... you can, but... it won't fit in the cutting area and the program asks you continuously to resize your image because it is to large to cut. In other words... I did enlarge it to 12", then took it down by .1" each time it sent me that forsaken message, until I finally reached 11.5" and it quit doing it to me. And then I sent it to my Explore Air and cut. It cut this one perfectly. You'd o' thought it was butta!

Then onto the glue-ing. If you're like me, you have to flip it over several times BEFORE you start to glue. Because otherwise, you can't remember if you put the glue on the right way or the wrong way, and then before you know it, you glued it the wrong way and the wrong side is now facing up. Just remember to put the glue on the BOTTOM. I added the circle... and used a brayer to get all the little air-bubbles out (because vinyl isn't the only thing that gets air bubbles).

 Time to put the Fleur De Lis in. I love them... It's one of my favorite symbols. I like it's real-life counterpart, too... the Iris. They are so pretty. And regal. And it's one of my favorites. And I'm rambling. Promise... Not too much wine, yet.

The glue I'm using is by Adhesive Tech. "A Fine Line... the glue you can write with!" it boasts. And yes... you can. It is REALLY great for glitter, for adhering paper, for those teeny-tiny-little-fine parts paper crafters seem to create and can't figure out how to stick them down. The guy who sold it to me at the Scrapbook Expo (in Ontario... less than a month ago...) told me right. However... he neglected to tell me the thing leaks through the screw threads of the cap and gets totally messy. Yes, tightened it. And. Yes, double-checked. When I find a way to keep that from happening, I'll get back to ya'll. No worries. It still works great and was totally worth the money especially since it didn't cost that much. I still like it. And I'd buy it again. Just keep it in a baggie...

Now... if you look really close at the edge of it... It's not perfect. The solid circle (even though the program SAID both images were the same size) extends past the main image circle.

You can see it here, much better. Inking dark on such a light-colored surface wouldn't take that away... so I snipped it with my... do you remember what they are?  trusty Cutter Bee scissors!

And it was better...

See? Doesn't it look better? but not quite done...

I misted some Art Mist in Silver to give it a little shimmer and sparkle

And all was good! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I sure hope this hop is getting you ready for what's to come in a little over 28 days or under 29 days... but who's counting? Not me!

There is more in store for you, so hop along and please comment on each and everybody. 'Cause you know we all love a little love... And BE SURE to check out the "other" Lisa, as she's the one with all the blog candy and sponsor info! Have a great time, and don't forget to come back tomorrow!
