Presenting to you... The Clicut!

Happy Tuesday to you!

I'm so excited to host over on the Imaginisce blog today and celebrate one of our newest tools with you!  I know that you're going to love the Clicut as much as we all do!!!  For my project today I used my Clicut along with our 14x14 iMat and the CutRight Acrylic Ruler.

I was inspired by the last challenge that we had to create a shaped project. My project idea was to create a large hexagon shape as the base for a Halloween sign for our front door or a layout. 

I'll show you how I created the initial step easily with card stock and then some Monster Mash paper.

Step 1:  Mark a 12x12 piece of card stock with a pencil at 6" on two opposite sides. 

Step 2:  Mark the remaining sides 3" in from each edge.  You'll have a total of 6 markings.

Step 3:  Using your CutRight Acrylic Ruler, line up the center marking with the first 3" pencil mark on the adjacent side and trim with the Clicut and the iMat under your project.

Step 4:  Continue trimming the remaining 5 cuts.

Step 5:  You are left with a hexagon shape.

I used this method to cut my second layer of the black pattern paper as well.  I started with a 10x10 piece of paper, marked at 5" on two opposite sides, then 2.5" on the remaining sides.  I used the "B" side of my paper for the bottom part of my sign layer.  The rest of the design came together effortlessly as the die cut and sticker elements in this line are so cute!  

Problem Solver:  The door I wanted to hang the sign on in our home is metal.  

Solution:  I created some Magnets using our magnet daddies and the iTop 2.0 to attach the sign to the door without having to use a door hanger.  Quick and easy!

Using the Clicut is comfortable, it fits nicely in your hand.  I also love how you are able to safely retract the blade and put it back in a safe position.  It's going to be one of your favorite new go-to tools for all of your crafting adventures!

Spotlight on... Snag 'em Stamps!

Monday greetings to you!  

The next two weeks over at Imaginisce we are doing a fun product spotlight feature on our Snag 'em stamps.  I'm super excited to be kicking off this fun event today so here--we--go!

It's always so much fun to play with our stamps.  I thought it would be fun to make a few Halloween cards featuring our Snag 'em stamps from the Monster Mash collection. 

For the square chevron and scalloped shaped cards, I used my Silhouette.  The hexagon shaped card was created with the newly released Spellbinders hexagon die.

I cut a few leaves, layered them and decorated in Sugar Skull's hair, 

then added some Crackle Accents.

On the Hex card I layered a few hexagon shapes and used the sentiment from one of our Sticker Stackers.  I added a witches boot for fun.  She is secured with a wobbler.  (Have I said that she is one of my all time favorite Snag 'em Stamps?  She is so so cute!!!)

The Spooky card I layered the tree die cut under the interior sentiment block so it would peek out from behind my mummy and ghost.  The ghost has fairy glitter on it and my mummy has some frost glimmer on it.  I added some "eyes" to the Spooky sentiment using my i-Rock and hot rocks.

The "Boo!" card layers a Halloween fence behind the chipboard sentiment.  Eddie has a wobbler behind him too, so he wiggles and jiggles when you move or rock the card.

Ingredients:  Monster Mash Pattern Papers, Chipboard, Sticker Stackers and Snag 'em Stamps Sugar Skull, Eddie, Mummy, Ghost and Foam Tape by Imaginisce, i-Rock and Hot Rocks by Imaginisce, Crackle Accents, Silhouette, Spellbinders, Spooky Tree die by Cheery Lynn Designs, Wobbler, Momento Ink, Copics, Trim by Cosmo Cricket, Twine by The Twinery, Glue Gloss and Fairy Dust by Donna Salazar, Smootch Glitz in Frost by Clearsnap, Xyron 5" Creation Station and Mega Runner.

Monster Mash... Imaginisce Style!

We're very excited over at Imaginisce this week to continue to share with you 

our latest release called:  "Monster Mash"!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the collection:

~~~~~~~

"Boo! Bam! Pow!" 12x12 layout

This collection is so fun to work with, the colors and adorable characters just spoke to me!   These fun photos were taken of my boys trying on their costumes from last year.  I thought it would be a fun play on the "Boo" to add a few additional phrases. 

The spiderweb style doily and "Pow!" and "Bam!" were cut using my Silhouette. The sentiments that I cut were accented with Crackle Accents and Glossy Accents. A few glam rocks were added using my i-Rock to the tree's eyes and to the "Boo!" sentiment.

The mini tray was a fun little Halloween scene to create for some decor.  The boys absolutely love it and can't wait to put it out!  (I'm pretty sure they really just can't wait for the c-a-n-d-y!!!)

Ingredients:
