The Cameo Spotlight Challenge #7

Welcome to another Cameo Spotlight Challenge! This is a color challenge and we want you to play along using the colors in the above photo. You can also include white, black, and kraft colored cardstocks in your projects. To enter this challenge be sure to stop by The Cameo Spotlight blog to submit your projects (don't forget that you can now submit Home Decor Items, Scrapbook Pages, Gift Boxes and Bags, Party Favors, and Ornament papercrafts in addition to cards and tags) and check out the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

We also have a sponsor giveaway for this challenge: a $30 Gift Certificate to Paper Smooches! I LOVE these stamps! Be sure to stop by and check them out.

 

I used the Cornucopia files from Sarah Bailey and Silhouette to make my card for this challenge. 

 

I cut two of the cornucopia pieces and adhered them together to make a pocket card. I arranged the fruit and leaves, adhered them together, and then added my stamped message from the Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases set. My message slides easily into the pocket and is ready for the recipient. It might also be fun to add a gift card to the pocket.

Supplies:
Pretty Phrases Paper Smooches Stamp Set
Silhouette Cameo
Cornucopia File by Sarah Bailey
Cornucopia File by Silhouette
Bazzill Cardstock
Colorbox Chestnut Roan Ink
Dimensional Adhesive
Xyron Mega Runner

I hope you enjoyed my project. Thanks for stopping by!

The Cameo Spotlight Challenge #6

It's time for another Cameo Spotlight Challenge. For this challenge we want to see your Halloween themed projects- anything from witches and pumpkins to ghosts and goblins. Starting with this challenge you can also submit home decor, Scrapbook Pages, Gift Boxes and Bags, Party Favors, and Ornament papercrafts in addition to cards and tags! To enter this challenge be sure to stop by The Cameo Spotlight blog to get all the details and to submit your project. While you're there be sure to check out the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team and guest designer, Jocelyn Olson.

We also have a prize from Gel-à-tins- a $25 gift certificate!  They have lots of great stamps so be sure to stop by their website and check them out.

 

For my card I used the Build-a-Monster sets by Snapdragon Snippets to create this cute little guy. I used the body as my card base and built my monster around that. I gave him 2 sets of legs and adhered one set to the front of the card base and one set to the back so he could stand when opened. This would be a fun card to send to friends and family that could be displayed with other halloween decor.

 

On the inside of the card I also stamped a Hero Arts Halloween sentiment.

Supplies:
Silhouette Cameo
Build-a-Monster Sets by Snapdragon Snippets
Sign Post by Silhouette
Hero Arts Happy Halloween Stamp Set
Bazzill Cardstock

Where I live Fall is settling in with cooler temperatures and beautiful colors of the changing leaves so when I saw these colors I knew I wanted to create a Fall themed card.

I added my sentiment to the inside of the card.

Silhouette Cameo
Bazzill Cardstock
Colorbox and Studio G Inks
