On the Road with A Muse Studio!

Hi everybody!

Here’s a sneak peek to a template that I’m working on right now. It’s a Camping Trailer Box. After I attached the door, window, and the wheel, I realized that I misplaced them. The door and the coupler should be on the right, the window and the button should be on the left. But, it’s still cute. Heehee. =)

I’ve been wanted to make this box for a long time, and I was finally motivated to make one after seeing On the Road with A Muse Studio badge image.

The train is from Its a Trainset digi stamp. Printed on a muse studio Shimmer Damask cardstock papers.

Celebrate Summer… with a Blog Hop!

Number of View: 2732

Hello everybody!

Thanks for coming to celebrate summer and the 4th of July blog hop! This fun blog hop was organized by Taylor Usry (THANK YOU!!!)

If you came to my blog from Krissy, you came to the right place. If not, you can start from Taylor’s blog.

I was inspired by Pottery Barn Kids summer catalog to create these cute beach houses, sling chairs, and umbrellas. Also, wanted to add a bit of Caribbean colors to it.

For the sling chairs, I used Sizzix Bigz Bookplates die on chipboards. Cut the end parts.

Cut some notches before putting two rectangle pieces together.

I used a muse studio pigment ink pads to color the chipboards. A muse studio Washi Tapes to make the chair fabric.

Comfy! =)

For the umbrellas, I used lollipop sticks and Nestabilities Circle Die to cut the circles. Wrap stripe of paper around the top.

For the beach houses, I used Stampin Up Mini Milk Carton Die (Cut the top taps off).

Martha Stewart fence punch for the fence. Eyelet for the roof window. Lollipop stick for the legs.

Teeheehee. These tiny houses remind me of the movie, Zoolander. “What is this? A center for ants?”

Look at all these awesome blog candies!
