Invisible Band Aid People

I think I got four birds with one stone. LOL.

- Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoaststampers dot com WT390: make something that would make someone SMILE!

- I'm using items from August Studio Calico Summer of '69 kit.

- Challenge with friends to use something I have not used...Inked up SU! Word Play for the first time!

- Challenge with friends to be inspired by Pinterest. (http://pinterest.com/pin/45528646203445217/).  I pin things & forget to use them...especially the craft inspiration items.  So, after getting the ways to use it challenge, I went to Pinterest for my inspiration!

And...I came up with this!

 

Doncha think this would make sone who feels bad...S M I L E ?  It makes me giggle.

 

I did not have any band aid colored band aids that I could use on this project...those had antibiotic stuff on 'em...and those are usually slippery. So...these are invisible Band Aid people. LOL.

 

As is my usual practice, I made two cards.  BUT...they turned out different cuz I forgot to trim the other side of the DSP panel.  I was glueing it down when I discovered that.  ahem...a tad bit late to fix.  So...presenting version #2.

DH likes version #2 better cuz I put the eyes on crazy. LOL.

 

Hope today's projects made you S M I L E !  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!

I decided to participate in the 400th sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers dot com.  It was "crafter's choice".  So I picked Sketch 379.  It is a great sketch to showcase some great designer paper from the August Studio Calico kit - Summer of '69.  I made two cards. 

 

No stamping what-so-ever.  I'm so not the frilly butterfly gal ok, but I love this paper. 

Here's a close-up of the washi tape stack + the stickers.

This is a stacked embellishment.  Took a label sticker + a large kalidescope sequin + a decorative brad. 

 

I love to make my cards in pairs...and I think this one is my favorite.

You've Got Mail!

I needed something creative for Mom's gift cards.  I have it!  Off to search the alterables closet for...a Target mailbox!  Remember those things...$1.00 a piece...in bubble gum pink, white and red? 

Many crafters had issues with covering the box in patterened paper because of the permanent flag stuck to the box.  Usually, I left the front part where the flag was uncovered.  This time, and it's been a while since I've covered a mailbox, I had an idea.

Off to the punch storage drawer & out comes Stampin' Up!'s Word Window Punch.

I cut a 12 x 12 piece of patterned paper from My Minds Eye Be Merry Collection (Snowball Fun pattern) to 4" wide.  I dry fit the 4 x 12 piece to the mailbox.  I marked my spot and punched two times.

I applied sticky strip to all four sides.  Check out where the seam is...barely visable.

I grabbed my SU! 1 1/4" striped grosgrain.  I love this wide silky grosgrain ribbon.  I tied it up with a nice bow.  From the coordinating accessory sheet, I used a tag, which was attached with a safety pin from SU!'s Vintage Trinkets.  I love the trinkets, too! 

The lowly safety pin...elevated to embellishment status.  The same accessory sheet has another cool embellishment for the gift card mail box...

This one, I ran through my Xyron.

I was impressed with how cute the project turned out.  I do believe Mom liked the mail box and the contents.
