My Huntington themed project features a Paper Mache box that I purchased at Hobby Lobby.  I then used a matte acrylic paint to match the color "Slate" that is a suggested color compliment to the Huntington Paper Pack.

From the Hutington WOTG kit, I used 2 different sheets of B&T papers to cover the painted box.  The box measures 4" wide and is 4 1/4" tall.  I cut the paper for the box at 3 3/4" x 4" (4 pieces). The lid measures 5" square so I used one piece of the B&T paper and cut to 4 7/8" x 4 7/8".  The lip of the box measures 1" x 5" and there I cut (4) 7/8" x 4 7/8" strips and use the other side of the B&T Paper.  I used Tombow Adhesive to adhere cuts to box.





I then colored 2 wooden pumpkin shapes with Autumn Terracotta Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pad, I used 2 different inking techniques.  The smaller pumpkin I colored directly on the ink pad, the larger pumpkin, I sponge dobbed the color on and then distressed with Whisper Exclusive Inks® Marker around the edges and used a little touch of Olive Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pad to color top of pumpkin. The canvas pumpkin comes from the Huntington WOTG kit's Huntington Assortment set.

I used the flourish wood pieces from the Mini-Medley Accents Wooden Collection.  Then I added some sparkles - Brown & Tan Assortment that also comes in the Huntington WOTG kit.

The stamped image is from the Huntington WOTG kit, inked with Slate Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pad.

Damask Divas Laughing Lola Blog Hop

Welcome to the Damask Divas Laughing Lola blog hop.  My name is Traci Williams and I am an Independent Consultant with Close To My Heart.

  If you came from Sharon Chapman's Paper Fiesta, you are in the right place.  If you have jumped here and just discovered our blog hop, feel free to check the list at Damask Divas blog to find the complete list of blog hop participants.

For my project, I decided to make a project using the new Designed Decor Flip Stand Album (Z1896 - $12.95).  

 From the Laughing Lola Cardmaking Kit, I used the stamps and cut out the shapes, added some "bling" from the new Mini-Medley Accents Collections in Rosewood (Z1857 - $5.95).  I also used Laughing Lola Assortment, paper clip and pattern button.  The "Too Cute!" stamp is from the new Wild Wonders stamp set (C1558 - $13.95).

It was really simple to create the pages and add holes to fit to the frame.  Just use your imagination when using the flip stand, there are so many things you can make with it, don't forget to add insert page inside the frame to give an added look also!

  The next blog on the list is Amie Kiger's Mimi, Myself, and I. Hope you have a great time on our hop and checking out all the creations using Laughing Lola paper pack. If you get lost, just hop on over to Damask Divas blog for the full list.

Damask Divas Pro Player

 

 

Welcome to the Damask Divas ProPlayer blog hop.  My name is Traci Williams and I am an Independent Consultant with Close To My Heart.

 

If you came from Mandy Leahy's My Passion for Scrapbooking, you are in the right place.  If you have jumped here and just discovered our blog hop, feel free to check the list at Damask Divas blog to find the complete list of blog hop participants.

 

My project features an A2 sized card suitable for any young fellow who loves monster trucks and dirt!!  The ProPlayer paper pack has so many options, I used the red circuit board B&T for the background of this card.  I cut it to the A2 size for a perfect fit.

 

 

The stamped images are from the Maximum Force stamp set, stamp set from Laughing Lola Cardmaking Workshop on the Go and December 2013 Stamp of the Month.  Using the Maximum Force set, I used the tire tread stamp, "This is how I roll" stamp, and the monster truck stamp.  The mud look behind the truck was created from the "smudge" stamp in the Laughing Lola Cardmaking WOTG.  The "Gently Wash" title is from the December 2013 SOTM. 

For embellishments, I used a couple of new products.  From the ProPlayer Assortment, I placed 2 colored corrugated cardboard shapes (blue chevrons) and 1 twist tie from the Slate Striped Twist Ties set.  I then added some square shaped Durables to the card.

The inking was done using Close To My Heart's Pigment Ink and as instructed by my 4 year old grandson.  For the color on the monster truck, I was handed Sunset, so I inked up the entire stamp in Sunset.  I was then asked to make it look dirty so using the color he handed me; Chocolate, I inked around the outer edge of the stamp to give a dirty look to the truck.  Since tires are black, I was handed the Black ink and informed to make the tires look "real".  He is so creative!!  Best part, he even helped with the clean up after card was done!
