Five Minute Friday: Mint Motif Teacher Keychain

Happy Friday!  Are you happy it is Friday?  I sure am! 

Today’s project is super simple.   Five minutes, drying time not included.  :)

When I knew Kimberly was designing a teacher set I picked up this mini clipboard to alter.  I covered it in a scrap of Chalkstock, stamped teacher from School Basics on it in Palette New Canvas.  Then I kissed the apple onto one of the backgrounds from Very Square in Palette L’Amour Red.  I finished it off with a scrap of sheer polka dot red ribbon and added a little apple leaf that I had cut out of some Jocelyn paper.  I added some Glossy Accents to the apple and was done.

We’ve got a lot going on over here at IHP.  Mint Motif has a design team call out now (see my post here) and we’re getting ready for the October release, which has two stamp sets.  IHP also turns TWO in October so we’re busy working on a birthday celebration. 

What would you like to see?  Blog candy?  Challenges?  Store coupon?  Lots of items deeply discounted?  Let me know!

Have a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping in!

I’ve Only Got Eyes….For….You…

Come on, now you’re singing that song, right?  It’s going to be stuck in your head ALL DAY.  You’re welcome.  :)
Here’s a cute little card using another Chicken Girl digi, Witch Eye Brew, part of this month’s September Collection.
I printed it out on Copic Heavyweight paper, colored it with my Prisma pencils and then added some Glossy Accents to the eyebalss and some Gunmetal Stickles to the cauldron.  Then I die-cut some Spooks paper with my new Crown Ovals and layered it on some more Spooks paper.  The finishing touch was all the googly eyes around the edge.  It’s kind of like a paper Beholder. 
There’s lots of things going on behind the scenes here at IHP so make sure you’re signed up for the newsletter (on the homepage).  It’ll be going out later today.  Also, join us on Facebook…the most current up to the minute updates are posted there, along with the occasional Deal of the Day, and you don’t want to miss those!
The new section is OVERFLOWING with amazing new CHA products and they just keep streaming in.  A few things have already sold out and I’m working to reorder those items so if you find something that is already gone, just click the restock notify link and you’ll get an email as soon as it is back in stock.
Thanks for popping in today!  See you again soon!

Five Minute Friday AND CGD Release Day: Autumn Greetings

Hello! Happy Friday! I know I’ve been a pretty bad blogger lately. I’ve got a good excuse though - (being buried under CHA deliveries) - have you seen the new section of the store lately?? Plus some other craziness on top of all that and today’s release just completely snuck up on me.
This is what my studio looked like 24 hours ago. Absolutely a disaster because there was some painting going on and lots of things got moved around and many of them landed in my studio as a holding place. There was not 5 inches of space to work.
Luckily it was Chicken Girl release day AND Five Minute Friday so I didn’t have to stress about a complicated card! HAHA!
So, I cleared 5 inches of space, printed out my new Scarecrow Greetings image (cleverly missing the actual scarecrow courtesy of some quick Photoshop erasing) and colored the pumpkin with some Prismacolor pencils and Orange and Olive Spica pens.
I adore the little scarecrow though so I’m going to have to do another card with the full image for you.
Here is the complete September Collection, all four images available at a discounted price of $8.50 or each one is available on its own for $2.50.
Be sure to check out the rest of the design team and see all of their projects.

Cupcake Birthday Wishes

Hello! Today's post is short, short, short...I'm short on time!

For this card I use Very Square and Very Square Sentiments stamped in Palette inks, cut out my Square Nesties and a cupcake dazzler. I used my Classic Scalloped Petite Borderabilities and dotted the holes with Frosted Lace Stickles. This is a very bright card but I think it’ll make a cheery birthday greeting for someone!

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

Five Minute Friday: Just Lion Around

Here’s a quick little card I made using the Just Lion Around digi from the Chicken Girl August Collection, printed on Copic Heavyweight cardstock, cut out with Square Nesties and colored with Prismacolor pencils. I applied Scattered Straw Stickles to the lion and Pine Needles Stickles to the tree. The DP is from the Jocelyn collection (loved the green and orange combo) and I used a scrap of brown crochet ribbon.
Thanks for stopping in today! I’ve got to keep it brief! See you again soon!

You’re Out Of This World

Hello!  I realized that I never showed you this sample from last month’s Chicken Girl digi July Collection, called Out of this World.  Isn’t it adorable??
I printed it on Copic Heavyweight cardstock and then used my Labels One to cut it out.  I colored it with Copics and then applied Glossy Accents to the helmets.  The DP from Jocelyn is die-cut with Classic Scalloped Petite Borderabilities (are you sick of seeing me use these yet?) and wrapped with this amazing two-tone purple/green ribbon.  Depending on how the light catches it, it shows up different hues.  LOVE it.
That’s it…pretty simple.  Thanks for stopping by today!  See you again soon!  (I’m slowly getting caught up from being away so please be patient!)
