Good Witch Bad Witch Time

Who doesn't remember as a child being mesmerized by
Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of
the West? 

Well here Sophie gets to play both parts! 
What fun these two stamps are.  So many uses for
them too.  From Princess parties to Halloween
these are perfect!



Glinda's card is made of Kaiser Craft paper and embossed
with the Floral Fantasy Cuttlebug embossing folder.
The flower is a hand made scrunchie style flower
with Spellbinder accents from the Floral Accents and
Fleur De Lis Pendant sets.  Ovals were also cut with
Spellbinder Nestibilities.
Distress Inks in Victorian Velvet and Bundled Sage and
touches of Stardust Stickles accent the die cuts.
Image was colored with Copic Markers.




This one was lots of fun to do.  I love cards with cutouts.

This one has the Lotus Pendant Spellbinder Nesties cut
from the center top.  I cut one white and a slightly larger
black circle. Stamped the image on the top white circle
then lightly stenciled Black Soot Distress ink around
the colored image when it was placed back in the die.

The card is made from Coredinations
cardstock so I was able to sand the black off the diecut
and let the green show through.  The card was embossed
with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder for the same
effect of color peeking through black.  I added a backing
to the cut opening with a Kaiser Craft patterned paper.
The diecut with the Wicked Witch image is then pop
dotted up off the peekaboo cutout area.

Added a ribbon and some buttons and topped them
with a few rhinestones.  Hint - mini glue dots are great
for adhering extras to buttons like this.

Ready for sneek peek 3 of my final project?


Thanks for stopping by!  Please be sure and join us

Along the Yellow Brick Road...

First correction!  Blog hop will be Thursday eve
at 9 pm central.

Are you still travelling the yellow brick road with me?
Ready for a second sneek peek?

I so love this stamp set that is really hard to decide
which stamp is my favorite.  I think Sophie as Dorothy
kind of steals my heart though.




Supplies:  Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder
Coredinations card stock
Print paper by KaiserCraft
Buttons from Michaels
Offray Ribbon
Ovals cut with Spellbinders Nestibilities
Copic Markers

Then of course who doesn't want to give the
Cowardly Lion a hug?  Or should I say Moose?



Same supplies just a Morrocan Screen Cuttlebug
embossing folder instead.  Silver pearls from Recollections.

Now here is part two of my sneek peek for my big
reveal project! 


Yes more ATCs.  Hummm... must be building a collection?????

Enjoy your Tuesday visits to all our blogs!

It's Two for Tuesday!

Guess it is a two for Tuesday!
Yep two blog posts today.
First up is the Tuesday Challenge from Design Team
Member Laurie.  She challenged us to make a
birthday card.  Well I admit I took a tiny break
from Oz because Tanya called and said
a new Cricut Cartridge had come in for me.

I have had this card in mind ever since I saw
this VW Style car.  LOL!

So this one is for you Tanya.  :-)
Sorry it is a bit late....




No I am not the first one to put lips on Riley and
make him Sophie.  LOL!  It was all Tanya's idea!

If you are wondering that is the Car Riley stamp.
Car is from the new Limited Edition Summer in Paris
Cricut Cartridge and cut at 2 1/2 inches.
The lips stamp is by Stamps by Judith.  Just too perfect for
this card!

Please join us on the challenge and post a Riley Birthday card
you have made!  If you post it at Splitcoast please use the
keywords of Riley 0910.

Now on to post 2!

We're Off to See the Wizard!

Are you ready to join us on the yellow brick
road?  We promise a fabulous trip!
I think the whole Riley and Company
Design Team is so excited to get this
preview week started.  This release
of "There Is No Place Like Home"
is amazing and ever so much fun.

So here goes as promised my peek of
a Sophie box with Sophie Cards.









This is a wooden box with a circle inset.
The Papers are by KaiserCraft and the stamp
is the brand new Sophie the Good Witch stamp.
With the inset I actually was able to make it a shaker box
so the top is filled with crystal beads and has a shaker
pouch top by Impression Obssession.
Edges are inked with Distress ink in Victorian Velvet.

The cards inside were cut with Spellbinder Nestiblities.

Now here is a peek at a project that will be revealed
Wednesday night at 9 pm central time at the
Follow the Yellow Brick Road blog hop.

ATCs (Artist Trading Cards).  Wonder what I am
doing with these little cuties?  Well stayed tuned for
more and the final reveal Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure and check out the rest of
the Riley Design Team blogs for some wonderful sneek peeks!

Oh No!

Oh no!  I am a week late for the challenge. 
Riley & Company had a Design Team
challenge last Tuesday.
Silke challenged us to make a circle card.
I am so sorry I missed it!
May came just too quickly.  I have a good excuse though....
honest!

I was in Oz with Riley.  Yep visiting Oz but I think my family
would say I have moved there.  LOL!  I have been working,
working, working on the new release projects. 

So I have a problem.  I have circle cards but they have
the new release stamps on them.  So here goes....
a teaser.....















Tanya said I could give you a peek.  So here it is.
Guess who that is? 

I promise I will post the whole project as the first sneek peek
release week.
Until then back to Oz I go. 

Happy stamping!
