Handmade Gifts QKR Stampede Blog Hop!!!!!!!

Welcome to our QKR Stampede and Eureka Stamps Handmade Gifts blog hop!!!!

Welcome to our sister companies blog hop, we are so excited to share with you our handmade gifts perfect for any holiday!

You should of arrived from Mian's blog, if not, then you will want to start at the beginning on the QKR Stampede blog, as you will not want to miss a chance at all the prizes we are given away!

These are my three projects to show you today:

Shadowbox trio:

I used some empty chocolate boxes (I love recycling!!!) and white cardstock, I used different embossing folders for the backgrounds (snowflakes and stars). I used red snowflakes ribbon and made bows, in the center one I added a bunch of jingle bells with red twine. I also punched snowflakes and decorated the borders. To glue the images, I used foami tape to give more dimension. And a lot of glitter!!!

A pack of CAS Christmas cards:

For this I used some blanc cards and  red, green and blue cardstock. I printed the images in a big size to have the images as the protagonists of the cards and colored them and also used glitter on them. I made some faux stitches around the images with glitter pens and used twine to embellish them and made a little bow on each plus a little sentiment. I wraped them all in a red Christmas ribbon together with the envelopes.

And a Cookie Can (Pringles recycle can):

I used an empty Pringles can and some Folia dp (Chritsmas blue). I also used blue cardstock to mat the image. As embellishment I used a wired blue Christmas ribbon around on the top and made a big bow.

The images were all colored with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils and the list of images is the following: digi10501 Feeding the Birds,  digi8705 Friends, digi13606 Caroling, digi8715 Merry Christmas, digi16302 Reindeer, digi7304 Caroling, digi19805 Star Angel, digi21304 Catching Snowflakes, digi9411 Decorations, digi23501 Snowman Scene.

SKdigis Fall Blog Hop!!!!!!

Hi all you FABULOUS  people in blogland, I hope you are having a wonderful day!!  :)

  Welcome to our  FALL Blog Hop brought to you by the SKdigis design team

This blog hop is only 9 stops, that's quick and easy and you have the chance to win a free SKdigis image at each stop along the way.  You will start at SKdigis blog, where Sonia has another chance to win an even bigger prize! Fun and easy, yes?  We have all been working hard to bring you some fabulous projects and hope you will find eye candy and lots of inspiration along the way.

If you arrived here from SKdigis you are in the right track and the next stop is Angeline but if you just came accross the hop, you may want to start HERE

For this event I made a Fall Shadowbox. I used many of the fall collection by SKdigis and some other elements.

As I can´t find here finished boxes I built it myself, using a candy box as base and some white cardstock to make all the small compartiments.

Here you can take a look of every space and how every image has dimension. I used at least three layers on each image and glued them with foam tape. 

To hang it, I used natural raphia in brown and natural color. To embellish the box, I used flowers, buttons, ribbon to made a bow and a wooden flower on top, and natural acorns.

Here is the list of blogs in case you get lost along the way, we start at SKdigis and continue the fabulous design team members

ABC 123 Back to school - QKR challenge

Hello and happy Friday!
Today at QKR Stampede we have a new challenge: ABC 123 (Back to school). The kids are coming back to the school rutine and some of them need more encouragement than others, so take your tools and papers and create something for back to schoool season!!!
I made this pencil holder:

I used Writing Squirrel (18208) and the sentiment is School Days (13515). I colored the fun squirrel with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils. I cut it out and placed it on a double circle (Sizzix) mat (white/red). I placed the sentiment in a small red cardstock tag.

I used a small "pringles" can and recycled it. I used yellow cardstock and "Stars, circles and dots" embossing folder (Sizzix) and apples dp (I don´t know if you can see the apples, but is full of them). I used red ribbon on the can and red bakers' twine for the tag.

Anything but a card at Digi Makeover

Hello! Happy Monday!
I hope you are starting a wonderful week and have time for your loved ones and also... for crafting :)
Today I want to show you a project I did for our weekly challenge at Digi Makeover: a recipe box and a couple of recipe cards. (It seams I am arranging my kitchen with paper projects!!!)

This week, our challenge is ANYTHING BUT A CARD. You can do anything using a digi, but not a card this time!!!

I used Color Kid with Soup, Duncan and the ice cream of So Sweet set. I colored all of them with Koh-i-noor aquarelable pencils and the icecream I cut it with a circle die cut and placed on a red mat cut with a scalloped circle die cut.

I used a small cereal box as base for the box and used DCWV dp imitating wood.

For the cards I used yellow cardstock for the one for savory food and blue cardstock for the sweet food samples.

I hope you like my project and feel inspired to play with us.
