World Card Making Day Blog Tour!

The Bombshell Girls and Pin-Ups are pleased to be taking part in the World Card Making Day Blog Tour.

World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to:
• Celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family.
• Kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season.

This year, World Card Making Day coincides with Mad Hatter Day. Therefore, the Bombshell Girls decided to merge the two holidays into one and make cards that feature one or more hats!

So without further ado...

Rachael made this tag featuring Mi Amor and the heart from Madonna Woodcut.

I added the crown for Mad Hatter Day and dry embossed it in gold.

This was my first time playing with Distress Stain!

Susie using Butterfly Queen has also added the crown from the same set. 

Kelli using Sugar Daddy, Retro Cowgirl, Butterfly Queen, Bombshell Angel, Mi Amor, Man's Ruin, and Bombshell Accessories

Alaine used Peek-A-Boo Geisha and Lotus Garden

Emily used Retro Cowgirl and Tattoo Font

Monika using Vintage Motorcycle and Harley Bikes

The helmet is from Vintage Motorcylces in honor of Mad Hatter Day and the bike itself is from Harley Bikes.   Both images are colored with Copics.  The greeting is from the Vintage Motorcycles set, heat embossed.  Shading with Distress inks.  Embossed silver cardstock using a Tim Holtz embossing folder.  Misc. ribbon.  

Torrey went wild with Bombshell Angel, Business Bombshell digi, Fantasy Bombshell digi.

In honor of Mad Hatter Day...I transmogrified Bombshell Angel into the Madhatter himself (er, herself). Clean cup! Clean Cup! Move DOWN! 

Christine, used the Witch Costume from the Halloween Costume Digital Stamp set, together with the pin-up from Bombshell Angel.

Kim using "Love and Luck"

Alison used Calaveras Fiesta, and the pirate's hat from Pirate's Life

The orange wheel actually rotates so that the skeleton can wear 5 different hats.

You can see the other hats on Alison's Blog. 

Sparkly Mary using Western Gal

 

GlitteryKatie used Halloween Costume 

Paper Rosette Banner

Hello Lovelies, today I am sharing with you a tutorial for Bombshell stamps.  It’s a Rosette Banner made without using Dies.  Yeah I know there are dies out there but I don’t have them and it’s easy to make them without one so here we go!  This banner is going to be used for a Halloween decoration in my house so it is black and ivory to go with my black and white theme but feel free to use any colors you wish!

Supplies needed: 
Paper Cutter
Paper Scorer
Hole Punches or circle cutters
Patterned paper ( i used Black and Ivory French Script from Canvas Corp)
Cardstock ( I used Black and Ivory)
Bombshell Images ( I used Sugar Daddy, Retro Cowgirl, Man’s Ruin, and the Halloween Costume Digital set)
Inks (Black Soot and Antique Linen distress inks used here)
Double sided tape ( I used red lined tape, just make sure it’s strong tape)

     

If you want to hang it the way I did you are going to need 10 beads, 15 large jump rings and 12 small jump rings, 11 eyelets.  I put an eyelet into the bottom of the last rosette incase I wanted to add something there at a later date.  I didn’t have anything here now!

Hope you enjoy!!!
