Thinking of you this holiday season
Hello my crafty friends,
Here is another holiday card. This is for our challenge over at {Pin}spirational Challenges Be sure to take a look and see what our talented design team has to inspire you. Join the challenge for a chance to win some images from our sponsors The Stamping Boutique and Fresh Brewed Designs As some of you who may follow me know, I lost my mom a couple of months ago. This will be our first Christmas without her. Although I will talk to my sister who is out of state, I will send her this card too. The image is from The Stamping Boutique. The base card was embossed with the Cuttlebug baby breath embossing folder. The sentiment was computer generated and the mats were cut with Spellbinders A2 Base card die set. Where would I be without my Spectrum Noir markers. LOL. Here is what I used: Window Frame GB1, Window panes BT1, Bear TN7, Bows DR3, Table JG1, CT4, Face FS1,2,8,5,PP4. Hair CT1,3,4, Wall GB2, Floor EB1. I used Stickles Diamond around the edge of the yellow table trim, girls bodice and frames of the image and sentiment mat. I had some left over Martha Stewart Pine Leaf punches from a previous project and embellished the mat. Follow me along as I will have a few more holiday cards posted soon. Thanks for stopping by today and leaving your comments, I enjoy reading them.

Santa's Coming to Town
Hello my crafty friends,
Only 10 more days to Christmas. Are you ready for Santa? Here is the last challenge for 2013 over at Artistic Inspirations The image is from Stitchy Bear Stamps. I used Spectrum Noir markers DR4,JG1,GB2,GB8,TN2,PP3 and Stickles Diamonds glitter glue for the sparkle. I used Recollection Seasonal paper collection for the mat background and computer generated the sentiment which I punched out with a stampin up tag punch. I also added Starform glitter sticker dots to the tag. Why not take a break from all the holiday madness and grab your favorite beverage and stop over and see what the talented design team has come up with for your enjoyment. Be sure to stop over and see what the talented design team has come up with for your holiday cards.. There will be surprises and more coming to Kitt's World starting in January.

Magical Time of Year.
Hello my crafty friends,
Today's card was an extra last minute creation for the challenge over at Artistic Inspirations. The image was so cute I had to create a card. I used Spectrum Noir markers IB2,3,TB1,FS1,8 CT1,3 ENABLER ALERT: Spectrum Noir markers ON SALE for $4.97 at Consumer Crafts .See my post HERE regarding which set I would buy first. The base card is blue from my stash and the glitter mat paper is Colorboc from Walmart. I would not recommend using it to cut on your cutting machine mats unless you don't mind the glitter going everywhere. I used a corner punch to round out the edges of the glitter mat. The sentiment was computer generated and the mat was cut with Spellbinder A size die set. The image was also cut with Spellbinders mat die set. I use Memento summer sky ink to edge both mats and lightly went over the snowflake background. I used Darice snowflake boarder embossing folder on the white background and added a Starform silver glitter sticker to the elf's hand. I used Stickles Diamonds glitter glue for the elf's earring, shoe, collar, belt and eye shadow. Take a look over at Artistic for some last minute holiday inspiration and the last challenge for this year. Thank you all for leaving comments and following me on this creative journey this year. I'm excited to show you what I have planned for Kitt's World in 2014. I invite you to follow me on this creative journey. I'm wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you next year.

Snowman Tag
Hello my crafty friends.
Can you believe it. I didn't use any Spectrum Noir markers or Stickles on this tag? Me either, LOL. I used Crayola color pencils and a silver glitter gel pen and sparkle paper for the tag and poinsettia. I also used the Darice snowflake embossing folder and red Starfoam stickers for the poinsettia. I cut the tag, poinsettia and snowman out with the Silhouette Cameo. Snowy Sky background is a free digital paper from Spyders Corner. The snowman image is from Digi Darla Designs. The red and sparkle background paper was from my stash. The sparkle paper was a heavy weight. I had to change my Silhouette blade to 7 and set to cover cardstock to cut it. This is only the second time I had to change my material setting. Look here to see what I've done with transparency film in creating stencils. Take a look over at Craftitude Challenges to see what the design team created to inspire you to get those holiday cards done if you haven't finished them yet. Enter the challenge to win fabulous images from our sponsors Digi Darla Designs and Sassy Studio Designs. Follow me along to see what new creations I have in store to share with you in 2014. Thanks for your comments. Happy Crafting.

Naughty or Nice
Hello my crafty friends,
Today's card is a center step card and the image is from Sassy Studio. I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the image and mounted it on pop dots and used a Zig two way pen to adhere the pine leaves.

I used the Martha Stewart pine leaf punch and Stickles Diamonds to highlight the white trim of her outfit. The sentiments are digital images. This card is for the challenge over at {pin}spirational challenge. Be sure to stop over and see what the talented design team has come up with for your holiday cards.. Join in the challenge for a chance to win 4 fabulous images from Sassy Studio. Our other sponsor for this month is Scribble and Scrap and they have some cute sentiment stamps for the holidays.

Silhouette Stencil Project
Hello my crafty friends,
Have I told you how much I love my Silhouette Cameo lately? LOL. I'm still a newbie using it. My husband wanted a way to personalize the golf balls. He said that the guys need a better way of identifying the golf balls. He wanted to get a little gift for the guys he plays golf with. He said the guys each like a different brand of golf ball and when he looked online he found that you didn't get a choice of brand and it was very expensive to personalize them. He said they have golf ball markers but he was looking for something more personable. It would have to be small enough to fit on a golf ball and portable to throw in the golf bag. I told him I had an idea that I could create a personalized stencil out of transparency film. (overhead projector sheets). He liked the idea and said he wants at least 5 stencils per name and could I save it so when they loose them I can make more. I know I had transparency film but I couldn't find it. So off we went to Office Depot. And talk about sticker shock. For a box of 50 transparency sheets was $39.99. I only needed a couple of sheets, as I didn't even know how if my idea would work. I spoke to a sales lady and she said that if I only needed a couple of sheets I could buy it from their copying department. That was a great TIP. It cost 5 cents a sheet. I bought 10 sheets. LOL. Well this was my first time cutting a different material other than cardstock with my Silhouette and it didn't disappoint me. Love my Silhouette Cameo. Oh, I already said that. LOL. In looking through the cutting material list I didn't see one transparency film. So, I figured this was going to be a trial and error and glad I bought 10 sheets. I have the designer edition and chose the clear sticker paper. It cut like butter. The stencils peeled right out with no need for weeding the letters out.
Have I told you how much I love my Silhouette Cameo lately? LOL. I'm still a newbie using it. My husband wanted a way to personalize the golf balls. He said that the guys need a better way of identifying the golf balls. He wanted to get a little gift for the guys he plays golf with. He said the guys each like a different brand of golf ball and when he looked online he found that you didn't get a choice of brand and it was very expensive to personalize them. He said they have golf ball markers but he was looking for something more personable. It would have to be small enough to fit on a golf ball and portable to throw in the golf bag. I told him I had an idea that I could create a personalized stencil out of transparency film. (overhead projector sheets). He liked the idea and said he wants at least 5 stencils per name and could I save it so when they loose them I can make more. I know I had transparency film but I couldn't find it. So off we went to Office Depot. And talk about sticker shock. For a box of 50 transparency sheets was $39.99. I only needed a couple of sheets, as I didn't even know how if my idea would work.

I must say that cleaning off the mat was a job with all the little letters sticking to it besides being hard to see. I put the cutting mat over color paper to help with that. The labels were cut at 2.75Wx0.625H. The names were cut 1.500W x 0.390H. Some adjustments were needed such as, to be smaller due to the fact there were more letters.
After they were cut out came the real test. The golf ball which has a bumpy surface. My husband bought chisel tip sharpie markers to go with the stencils. It didn't work out well. Of course I had to try my Spectrum Noir markers. Again, it didn't work well. I had one more type of marker in my arsenal to try. My LePlume marker has a brush nip. It worked like a charm. If my husband wants to give them markers (I had them for years), I could part with a few old ones and get some new ones to replace them. LOL. See pix below for results of chisel, bullet and brush marker
I have the memory makers envelop punch board and decided I need to play with that since I haven't used it since I got it last June. I made the stencils but they were really lost in the smallest envelop I had on hand. Since my husband wants to give these as stocking stuffers I used the gift card size measurements on the board. I wanted to dress it up a bit and used the Darice big dots embossing folder and ran through the Big Shot. I used white cardstock, it reminds me of the dimples on the golf ball.
I wanted the envelop to be able to close again after they open it. I cut a slit to tuck the flap back in. I the other envelops in different colors and use a different embossing folders. My husband just called from the golf course and ask if he can add two more names for stencils. That makes 18 names. Follow me along on this creative journey and I will visit you too. Stay tune for more creative discovery's coming soon. Thanks for your comments. I love reading them.
