Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· October 15, 2014

Add a Little Dazzle and Fancy Pants Blog Hop – Day # 3 – and the Dazzling Diva Challenge. Welcome to another exciting Blog Hop. This week Fancy Pants Designs and Add A Dazzle’s Design Teams have been busy creating some amazing projects you are going to love. Join us today as we continue with Day 3 of this week-long blog hop. Get ready to be inspired by some amazing projects paired with Fancy Pants Designs beautiful patterned paper and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets. Let the fun begin!

Sometimes, it’s not about what you give but how it’s presented. A tiny gesture is greatly appreciated – especially if it’s wrapped in an adorable package like this Petite Purse. It has four Hershey Nuggets wrapped in Patterned Paper. A fabulous little pick-me-up! I created a quick Video to show you how easy it is to create tiny Craft Metal Flowers.
Petite Purse with Metal Flowers

The SU! Petite Purse Die was used with the Big Shot to cut out the pattern for the purse with Basic Black Cardstock. It was assembled and then strips of Fancy Pants Designer Series Paper were cut and adhered to the purse. A strip of Patterned Paper was adhered to the handle before attaching it to the inside of the purse.

Four Hershey’s Nuggets were wrapped with strips of Matching Fancy Pants Patterned Paper adhered with Sticky Strip.

A Flower Punch from SU!’s Itty Bitty Punch Pack was used to punch out 3 little flowers from Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal in Brushed Copper, Pucker Me Pink and Scarlet Red.

The flowers were rolled around a skewer and attached to each other with Glue Dots.

Craft Metal Pumpkin Halloween Card

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· October 8, 2014

The fall makes me happy! Halloween is just another excuse for me to use fall colors. 😉 The spider web is a new Stencil from My Favorite Things. I like it ’cause it’s BIG! It’s perfect for embossing paste but I was not in a patient mood today so I just sponged Black Soot Distress Ink through the Stencil.

Craft Metal Pumpkin Halloween Card

Base card is SU! Elegant Eggplant Cardstock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ – Scored and folded at 4-1/4″.
The background piece is 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ Specialty Stamping Paper with an Alcohol Background created using Orange Blossom Archival Ink. You can see a Tutorial HERE.
Black Soot Distress Ink was sponged through the Web Stencil from My Favorite Things. It was then heat set.
The spider from the SU! Batty For You Stamp Set was stamped onto a scrap from the Alcohol Background piece and cut out. Black Glitter Glass was applied to the spider with 2-Way Glue. A piece of Black twine was attached behind the spider and over the top of the Alcohol Background piece. The spider was attached to the center of the Web using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Outrageously Orange Craft Metal was used to punch 3 Ovals using SU’s Large Oval Punch. Backing Paste was used behind the ovals. Once dry, they were layered on top of each other to create the Pumpkin. It was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Craft Metal Pumpkin Halloween Card

Green wire was wrapped around a stick and adhered behind the Craft Metal Pumpkin with Glue Dots.
“Happy Halloween” from the SU! And Many More Stamp Set was stamped in Archival Ink onto the background piece.
Black Lace Ribbon was tied into a Double Bow using the “How to tie a double bow using your fingers” technique and attached to the front of the card with Glue Dots. (You can see a Tutorial HERE.)
A 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock was adhered to the inside of the card.

Clean and Simple Happy Fall Card with Craft Metal

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· September 24, 2014

The Dazzling Diva Design Challenge this week is to create a project using Craft Metal Sheets in Fall Colors.(Inspirational Photo is below.) I wanted to create a Clean and Simple Fall Card so I stuck to Geometrics/Triangles.

Clean and Simple Happy Fall Card with Metal

The base card is SU! Whisper White Cardstock 4 1/4″ x 11″ – scored and folded at 5 1/2″.
The next layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ Whisper White Cardstock which was passed through the Big Shot in the SU! Triangle Embossing Folder.
The Triangle Punch was used to cut 8 triangles – two of each in Dark Chocolate, Brushed Bronze, Gold, and Copper Craft Metal Sheets.
The triangles were then embossed using the SU! Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder and then adhered to the project with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Two thin strips of Copper Craft Metal were adhered to the card front using Score Tape.
“hello, FALL!” from the SU! For All Things Stamp Set was stamped in Early Espresso Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and cut out using SU! Bitty Banner Framelits and the Big Shot.
A piece of Dark Chocolate Craft Metal was cut with Bitty Banner Framelits and then cut in two and reassembled behind the greeting as a border. The whole greeting was then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Clean and Simple Happy Fall Card Flat

I hope you can see how rich the Craft Metal looks on the card! The fall colors are awesome but the Craft Metal Sheets come in colors too!

Craft Metal Leaves Napkin Ring for Blog Hop Day 1

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· September 15, 2014

Stampendous and Add A Little Dazzle Blog Hop Day #1

Stampendous and AALD

Welcome to Day #1 of the Stampendous and Add a Little Dazzle Blog Hop! I’m excited that you’re visiting my blog! We have a whole week of Holiday Projects for you along with lots of prizes. Make sure to check out all the details! Today’s project is my first of many this week and the other Designers have inspiring projects for you as well so be sure to stop by!

Napkin Ring with Leaves

Fall is my favorite time of year! In our family, when you get married, you are given a Holiday and the whole family (it’s a BIG one!) comes to your house every year to celebrate that holiday. Thanksgiving has been my holiday for the past (almost) 30 years and I love it! When I saw the beautiful Leaf Stamps and matching Leaf Die Cuts, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. Here is the first project using those leaves along with some Craft Metal Sheets. If you’d like instructions, Click here to subscribe to my mailing list for exclusive samples as they will be in my newsletter this month! 🙂

Craft Metal Leaves Napkin Ring with Give Thanks

The actual Napkin Ring was created using a strip of Dark Chocolate Metal that was run through the Big Shot in a Woodgrain Embossing Folder and then secured using Sticky Strip. The leaves and ribbon were then adhered on top of it. The Double Bow was created using the “How To Create a Double Bow using your Fingers” Technique – View the Video HERE. Metal Napkin Ring

I think the funky Aged Copper Embossing Tinsel just makes the design!

Supplies: Stampendous: PenPattern Leaves Set Stamps and matching Leaf Die Cut Set; Aged Copper Embossing Enamel from the Encrusted Jewel Bronze Kit; Add A Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets: – Brushed Bronze, Dark Chocolate, Aged Copper; SU!: Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Crumb Cake Ribbon, Heat Tool, Early Espresso Ink
