more for GIBBS 5

This is the last item I have to post from Tracy's goodies. I will soon be posting some of the layouts I did at the weekend crop I went to Veteran's Day weekend.

This project was "treats for your partner and family". I made this treat basket from some embossed AC cardstock and used some of the leaves from the wreath as embellishments with button centers to look like holly and berries.

Christmas wreath

This is the next to last project for Tracy that I have to share with you.



I used the same papers for the wreath that I used for the banner as well as the same Glimmer Mists. I found the little pearls at Hobby Lobby in the bridal department and decided to tuck them in between the leaves in various spots. All of the leaves were cut using my Cricut and Walk in My Garden cartridge.

Christmas tags

.... more goodies made for Tracy's box :)



I used papers and die cuts from Making Memories' Fa La La line for the tags above. I used my Cricut to cut the tag bases, holly & berries, poinsettias and "Happy Holidays" with various cartridges. I decided to 'pretty' the tags up by using Creative Imaginations glitter glue and Sakura glaze pens along with various ribbons.

For the tags below I used Reminisce's Snow Globe line. I used my Cricut for these tag bases as well along with the holly & berries, tree and the sayings. I 'prettied' these tags up with Creative Imaginations glitter glue, Sakura Glaze pens and Sakura Stardust pens.

Christmas cards

I made these for Tracy's box as well. :)



The papers are from K & Company's Evergreen line that was designed by Brenda Walton. I used some Creative Imaginations Glitter Glue, a Viva Decor Pearl Pen and my Sakura Stardust pen to embellish the papers.

Kusudama/Origami

I made this Kusudama flower ball for my GIBBS 5 partner, Tracy.



The papers are from Karen Foster Designs, Paper Studio and Paper Pizazz. The ribbon is from Offray and the beads are from the $1 bead rack at JoAnn Fabrics.

"Peace" banner

This is a banner I made for Tracy for the GIBBS 5 swap on the Cricut Messageboard.





I used my Cricut to cut all of the pieces with the Lacy Labels and Storybook cartridges. The letters are cut from Storybook and I used Lacy Labels for all of the layers. I made 3 cuts of each letter to make them more dimensional by stacking them on top of each other.

letters ~ basic cardstock, Creative Imaginations Glitter Glue
snowflake frame ~ AC Cardstock, Holo Iridescent Viva Decor Glitter Liner
sweet base ~ Moxxie Winter Wishes patterned paper, Frost Glimmer Mist
flower base ~ Reminisce Snow Globe patterned cardstock, Pearl Glimmer Mist
flower shadow base ~ AC Cardstock
tulle ~ glitter tulle from Hobby Lobby

picture frame

This picture frame was sent off to Tracy for the GIBBS 5 swap on the Cricut Messageboard.





I originally covered this frame with a mixture of chocolate brown acrylic paint and gold diamond dust but didn't think it was good enough. I decided to use Tim Holtz' Tattered Rose Distress Crackle paint instead. The Grungeboard accents were painted with acrylic paint and then sprayed with Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist. The flowers are spiral paper roses cut from some paper from Heidi Grace Designs and sprayed with Bubblegum Glimmer Mist. I used Zip Dry Paper Glue to adhere the flowers to the frame.

THANKS for looking!

ornaments

These are part of Tracy's box as well.

I bought some ornaments from Hobby Lobby, disassembled them and made these from the bits & pieces.

another sneak peek for GIBBS 5

Here's another sneak peek of one of Tracy's goodies. I just finished it tonight .. woo hoo! I only have 2 goodies left and then I can get the box together and shipped.

sneak peek for GIBBS Round 5

As promised, here are a few sneak peeks of a handful of the projects I made for my GIBBS Round 5 partner, Tracy. I won't be posting the full pictures until Tracy has received her box which won't be for about a month or so. I have to keep you in suspense LOL

GIBBS 4 paint can

This is the paint can that I sent Tammy's goodies in. This is the first paint can I have ever decorated so I went safe and easy.

The paper is by K & Company and I found it at Michaels in their travel section sold as individual sheets and the paint can is one of the clear ones from Michaels as well. The trim was bought from Michaels also in the $1 special value ribbon bins and I adhered it using Zip Dry Glue. I took the washer off the plastic tag and attached it to the handle with a Tim Holtz swivel clasp.

GIBBS 4 mini album #2

This is the other mini album I showed a sneak peek of for Tammy, my GIBBS 4 partner on the Cricut.com messageboard.









I found the tutorial for this envelope flip book on YouTube >>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsjvm-W-Z90

I used 6" x 9" catalog envelopes for the base for this mini because I wanted Tammy to have more room to put her pictures and journaling. You can use any size envelope for this project ... that's what initially drew my eye to this tutorial.

The cardstock is from Bazzill and the patterned papers & embellishment pieces are from Bo-Bunny Press's Splendor line. The ribbon on the front is from Offray and the bling is from the $1 bin at Michaels.

I shared the YouTube video with my son and he made one right away. He thinks it's pretty cool .... I do too! Make one for yourself or a loved one soon ... they're pretty easy and quick.

GIBBS 4 mini album

Here are the pictures of the mini album I showed a sneak peek of a month ago. Tammy, my partner for this swap on the Cricut.com messageboard, finally received it so now I can share the whole kit & kaboodle with you.








The papers and embellishment pieces are all from Little Yellow Bicycle's Vita Bella line. The flowers on the front are by Prima w/ skittle accents and the ribbons are from miscellaneous companies w/ the beaded tassel from Hobby Lobby. I highlighted a lot of pieces using my Sakura Stardust pen.

sneak peeks for GIBBS 4

These are a couple of sneak peeks for the GIBBS 4 swap on the Cricut.com messageboard. This round involved decorating a paint can (my first ever) and filling it with at least 2 "made" items and some bought items.



The above sneak peek is of the 2nd "made" item for my partner, Tammy. You can view the 1st "made" item ... just scroll down to the August 2nd post.



The can is very basic. I used K & Company paper and the fiber is from one of the $1 bins at Michaels that I inked up a bit.

sneak peek for GIBBS 4

I made this item for Tammy in the GIBBS 4 paintcan swap on the Cricut messageboard. I can't share the whole project just yet because we haven't traded our paintcans.

Tammy likes Little Yellow Bicycle and I like Little Yellow Bicycle so I knew I would use their paper on one of her projects. I used their Vita Bella line for this project.
