Birthday Set with Echo Park Little Boy...

I made this birthday set with the Echo Park Little Boy paper/sticker pack before Christmas...and FINALLY I can share it...all of it used the various functions of the Xyron Creatopia...some fabric adhesive, some regular adhesive, and I WORE OUT the Shapez component (just kidding, I just used it ALOT!) and made use of the Cutz componenet too!

Let's start with the invitiation....I used a Spellbinders  Nestabilities (Octagon) die set and cut a folded piece of cardstock to make the card base...

And on to the centerpiece...a Kaisercraft train covered in Echo Park paper and some felt!

and on to the placeholders and cupcake holders and flags...

And then, for when the party is over and the pictures are printed, a little mini album to hold all the memories...

Christmas Ornaments...

Since I'm starting to get into the holidy mood...I made these dimensional ornaments...they were in addition to the Christmas tree in the previous post:

I cut around 10 shapes from the Echo Park Merry Christmas papers, using this Spellbinders (lotus pendants) die and my Xyron Creatopia (Shapez module)...then I scored each shape down the middle, folded along the score line and ran the FOLDED shape through my Creatopia with the Permanent adhesive cartridge....and then adhered the shapes in alternating order, inserting the string of beads and a 'blob' (I know, highly technical term!!) of glue at the end...I strung a ribbon through the tops of two shapes on opposite sides and strung another spacer bead on the ribbon to center the ribbon above the ornament...they were then ready to hang and enjoy!!

An altered pumpkin...

Well, last night my dd woke me up at 2 am (she has a bad cold) and I couldn't get back to sleep...so I crafted!! Here's what I made...it's an altered white pumpkin with rolled strips of Echo Park Happy Halloween papers as hair...the face was made using a mask cut with my Cricut Expressions and run through my Xyron adhesive machine to keep it in place while apply the Martha Stewart glue and glitter....love how it turned out...and glitter mess is WAY better than pumkin GUTS mess!!

Thanks for stopping by...have a good week!

It takes a village...

...a village of luminaries!!! I started making these altered house luminaries last Christmas and thought this year they would become my Christmas display in my living room...I've got two of them done with hopefully a third (larger one) yet to be done...I used the FABULOUS Everybody Loves Christmas papers and stickers from Echo Park...this stuff is C.U.T.E! Of course all the paper pieces were run through my Xryon Creatopia for easy, peasy adhesion to the paper mache houses...with all the right tools, these are a SNAP to put together...

I hope to light these up tonight (with flameless tealights) and if I get some good pics, I'll share them here too...Laters...thanks for stoppin' by!
