Welcome to the Grab and Go! Premiere - The Wizards Box!!

Hi and welcome to our first ever Grab and Go! Release Hop!

What is Grab and Go!?

It's a well thought out (and jammed packed) themed subscription box!

We pulled out all the bells and whistles for this Wizard inspired theme box to get us all in the mood for the soon to be released Fantastic Beasts 2 movie!

If you are anything like me, and love anything Harry Potter related - than this box is for you!

~*~*~*~*~Because LOVE is a well stocked subscription box!~*~*~*~*~

Check out the LISTING here to see a list of all the goodies the box contains!

Valued over $165, its quite a steal considering all you get inside!

Take a peek at the projects I made using the new release items and make sure to visit the other team members below too!  Meg and Stephen used ONLY items from the box, so you can see what you will be getting!

Also read below to see how to get a FREE digital sentiment that I used on a project below!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Let's kick off my projects with Alex!  He is a done in a no line ink version that I colored with my copics.  I used paper from the wizards box, the Magical Beasts Paper Pad and added a die cut using the Fantastic Word die cut in Gold Foil  I tied it off with some Bee Sting Twine and Wizards are Cool Enamel Dots.  Except for the card mat dies I used, everything else is included in the box!

Next up is the Anthony stamp!  Again I no line colored him with copics and created this fun background image of the Quidditch field.  I used the sentiment from one of the stamps included in the box as well.

Here is the sweet Chloe!  I used all box items to make this sweet card.  The Wizards are cool paper Pad, Wizards are Cool Cardstock pack, and enamel dots and twine.  Everything you need is right in the box... how cool is THAT?   Even the Foam POP up dots are included!

You can NOT have a wizards box without the Chosen one, right?  Here is Sam.  How adorable is he?

again, I used everything in the box except for the black twine  (different colors in the box)....   check out that Adorable OWL and Cage charm!  It comes in teh box too!

I used the brick wall stencil to create the alley leading into the magical world!  I even

used the envelope provided in the box to make a matching card and envelope set.

Here is the inside of my card, again, repeating the theme to make it all cohesive!

Here is a FREE digital stamp magical Sentiment I created as a fun treat for those hopping along with us today.  Its in PDF file and is already sized to a 4.25 X 5.5 card size.  All you have to do is print it out, cut it down to fit the front of your card base and Voila, instant card.  I also used the Falling Star Stencil with our totally YUMMY Hybrid Inks.

I took a bv20 copic marker and added little shadows to make them look 3d

I also created a matching envelope and inside of the card with the stencil.

Here is the inside view of the card.

Hello Kitty Birthday with Megan

Hello Crafty Friends,

Katya Bess here from Kattyxotica's Kreations. I have a birthday card for you using Megan Glasses.  

I had great feedback when I made another birthday card with Megan - Cupcake 

because I colored her hair with braids. Takes a while to create the braids

but so worth when you're done.

So here I used Megan Glasses

I colored her with Copic markers.

I used:

skin: E11, B34, E37, E34, R22 and R30

hair: W9 and W5

Reds: R24 and R46

Blues: B21, B45 and B97

boots: W9, W7, W5 and W3

leggings: N0 and N2

The background paper is called Hello Kitty Ribbons

and it was a 12x12 sheet I got from Michael's open stock papers.

I fussy cut a Hello Kitty Head from the same paper 

and popped it up so it can look like a balloon.

The yellow dotted paper is from Echo Park and it's called

 Birthday Wishes

the small HB2U and balloon string dies 

are from CC Designs.

Here is a close up.

I hope you liked it.

Thank you for stopping by.

September Release - Day #1, I'm Nerdy

Hi everyone!  

Thanks for joining the Stamp Annie Thing's Mini September Stamp Release!  

We have 2 great stamp sets to share with you this month.  

Today we are showcasing our new "I'm Nerdy" set!

This is the start of the hop, and the complete line up is below for you to follow.

Without Delay, here is the new stamp set, "I'm Nerdy"

This stamp set is available for purchase RIGHT NOW in the store!!

Now on to my project and the Hop Giveaway Info

 Today I made a super cute Notepad holder and Pencil box.

I know school has already started..but I just love how it came out and I think it would look cute on a teachers desk!

I got the idea for the note cube holder from the $1 bin at Michaels.  So I bought a cube of note paper and then measured it out to make a box to hold them.  I added some side panels of school themed paper, colored my CUTE Nerdy Pencil and then added some Rhinestone border and Trendy Twine in Lemon Tart.   I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set and pop dotted it on the Banner Charm from Jaded Blossom.

 For the Pencil Box, I used the Cut file from SVG Cutting Files, Valentine Treat Pack, added some Crazy Coral Ribbon from LoveBugCreations and topped it off with the sentiment stamped on the Jaded Blossom arrow die.

CLOSE UP...its tooooo CUTE!
