Little Hop of Horrors

Canadian Nickel Scrap’n “Little Hop of Horrors” Halloween Blog Hop

There's lots to HOP about! 
Photobucket
YOU MADE IT!

Wozers this blog hop is BIG!!!  BUT!!  So are the prizes!!  Hopefully you will have time to make your way through to everyone and leave some luvin' to increase your chances of winning these grand prizes!!  Also, the ideas these ladies are showing are fabulous!!

You should be just crawling in from Debbie P's Place but if you are just starting your haunt you'll want to creep over to Barb's, she holds the key to your escape!
 
My project for today is a cute little popcorn treat holder.  I used Lola Mummy from Simply Betty Stamps, available in rubber only.



So AFTER I was half done my project I figured I should have done a tutorial on the box at least.  If you are curious, let me know and I'll post a quick tutorial cuz it's really easy!  I did make my own caramel popcorn and found out I hate making anything sticky!!  I used the Martha Stewart drippy goo border punch and Spellbinders new Halloween Fence and distressed it with ink.  My sentiment comes from my great friend CHERI!!

TIP**** I wrapped my box with gauze - try to use gauze that isn't stretchy.  It'll work but just be careful not to stretch it very tight cuz it will make your box bow in or bow out. 


CHECK OUT THE PRIZES!!

All About Betty Blog Hop

ALL ABOUT BETTY BLOG HOP

The gals from The Burtonesque Dolls, Simply Betty Stamps and Simply Betty Challenges figured it was a good time to put together a blog hop for our very own

SIMPLY BETTY!

October is Betty's favorite month and since there is so much happening in October why not do it just before?!!  This way we can get things warmed up for the whole October and Halloween theme.  Kinda like an appie!! 

Since Halloween is her favorite time of year you will be seeing mostly, if not all,  Halloween cards and as well, we have all used an image of only the Betty Emo's. 

Betty you are such a generous, kind, giving, thoughtful, warm, talented friend and I so appreciate the way you are!!  I just wanted to say thanks for everything you`ve allowed me to be a part of over the past while and let you know it`s very much appreciated.  I have had such a wonderful time and am looking forward to continuing a wonderful friendship. 

Congratulations on your new blog and I wish you all the continued success you so rightly deserve!!!  Your images are absolutely FANTASTIK and so much fun to work with!!  Thanks for bringing me closer to the dark side.  LOL!!  It`s not so dark after all!! 

So I decided to use the very first Emo Betty along with some fab Bo Bunny papers.  I kinda made it a cutesy card this time but I absolutely luv this image.  

Without further ado, let's check out some more inspiring cards from all the ladies.  Please note because this is an appreciation blog hop there are no prizes.  It's just for fun but the ladies would love some luvin' from you anyway!!

So LET'S GET HOPPING!!  Your first stop is Cheri!!! 


OH AND!!!!  I would like to thank Tanya for the inspiration for this card, from her card.  Thanks Tanya!!!

Stamps: SBS Betty Emo
Paper: Bo Bunny
Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and lace
Punches: Martha Stewart gate border punch, Spellbinder Graveyard Scenes skull punch, EK Success bat border punch and Dollar Store webbing.

Christmas in July Blog Hop

On the Seventh day of Christmas ...

WOO HOO IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!! 
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
BLOG HOP!

I hope you've enjoyed the hop so far.  If you've come over from Crafty Deb's then you're heading in the right direction.  If you'd like to start from the beginning go back to KinderStampO.  There is pretty much blog candy on every blog as well as an overall "main" blog candy so lots of opportunity to win!!  FUN OR WHAT?!! 

My project actually made me giggle as I was making it.  I think these things are so friggin cute!  Each of these little snowmen packages consist of marshmallows and a packette of hot chocolate.  These are sooooo easy to make and very inexpensive if you need a bunch!  :) 

Here are all my snowmen napping on the job!! 


And now my little soldiers are all standing at attention!!  

I even embossed the back of the little package.
What the heck hey?!

And here is a close up so you can see the sentiment.  

SO BLOG CANDY!!!  YIPPPEEEE!!! 

I will draw a winner's name at random and the lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate for their favorite online store.  So when you leave a comment, please include your favorite online store where you order most of your scrapbooking or card making goodies!!  The Christmas in July blog hop ends 9pm Sunday night, July 25th so I will be drawing a winner on Monday July 26th.

NOW!  To carry on to the next great project:

Copy for Blog Hop
 

Instructions For the Wrapper:  Cut a piece of cardstock to 4" x 12" or whatever width you want.  I based mine on  the width of the hot chocolate packette.  Then score at .5" for the tab at the top, flip your 12" piece around on your Scor-Pal and score at 5" and 6.5".  This will give you the bottom of your package.  That's it!  Then start to decorate any way you want!  If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to comment.  :)
Paper:  Three Bugs in a Rug and SU's "Whisper White" cardstock
Embellishments:  Misc silver decorative wire, black Stickles for mouth, eyes & buttons and EK Success fastener staples. 
Punches:  EK Success snowflake punch, Quickutz Snowmen from "Merry & Bright" Edition and Quickutz ovals for oval window.

On to the rest of the blog hop and CHALLENGE!!  This challenge is running for the rest of July and here is the photo to use for inspiration:

Ummm wow did it take me a bit to come up with something but I ended up being inspired simply by the Ipod itself.  I made a stationery box and used the face of the Ipod as a sketch....okay turn the Ipod upside down.  The flower on the front and then the monogram is the square on the Ipod.  


You can find this tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers along with other samples.


Most of my products were bought at Creative Accents but ALL the products are available there.
