It's another Friday Challenge at Dilly Beans and we're continuing with our month long Halloween theme. Lots of opportunities to use the fab creepy cute images Dilly Beans is know for. I've created a tag this time using #456 Teeghan's Spider Framed. I've printed her directly on DP and then paper pieced her hair and skullie bow. The tag itself is recycled Prima Marketing packaging and the checked and striped DP bits just happened to be lying on my table from??? Wow, I used SCRAPS! Go ME! The rest of the stuff are stickers from Authentique Enchanted pack. Ribbons from J's. Easy peasy. My teamies have again outdone themselves. We just LOVE Halloween at Dilly Beans, so be sure to check them out. There's a fab BOGO sale running at the SHOP through Sunday ...no tricks. Isn't it time to treat yourself? Come on! No calories and they won't rot your teeth. You know you wanna.

Happy Friday! It's a new Challenge day at Dilly Beans and and we're asking for Washi tape. I have to admit, although I've had these rolls for over a year, I haven't used much of the stuff so this is sort of a new one for me. But now that I've taken the plunge, I think it could be pretty addictive. I've paper pieced the hair and dress of the adorable #538 Poppy Circle Frame and colored the rest with Copics (right over the paper piecing of her dress as well). Then I cut a square mat and layered the orange Washi first, and then the yellow in a starburst pattern and cut the window with a Nesties Circle. (It's supposed to look like a sun, in case you missed that.) I wasn't sure if my printer would print on Washi so after laying the green tape down on card stock and cutting the banner, I just added the printed sentiment on top. Both the mat and banner are popped for dimension and there ya go. My teamies had a ball with this one too, so be sure to check out the Challenge Blog and leave them some love. Now it's your turn!
Be sure and join the new Dilly Beans Facebook Group and share all of your Dilly Beans creations.
I'm also entering this in the Cute Card Thursday Hip to be Square Challenge, the Paper Shelter Sun, Moon, Stars Challenge, the Sisterhood of Crafters Devine Digi Challenge, Stamp and Doodle Spots and Stripes, Oldie but A Goodie Spots and Stripes Challenge (washi is old), the Use it Tuesday Friendship Challenge (washi from stash) and the Left Of Center No Designer Paper Challenge #14 (Don't worry, I'll be back with LOC shortly, LOL).
Well our challenge this week at Dilly Beans is Robots, and it seems I just can't get enough. I had this ancient Scenic Route DP I'd been hoarding and thought it would make an adorable party invitation for a boy. I used #436 Gear Robot, #435 Sparks Robot, and removed the frame from #437 Bolt Robot Framed so they would all look alike. They are colored with Copics and the sentiment is computer generated. The invitation pocket and invitation itself were cut on the Cricut with my CTMH Artiste cartridge. (Can't seem to get enough of that either. LOL)
Here's the shaped invitation pulled out of the pocket (also cut with Artiste). That happy guy is #439 Wired Robot Framed. Doesn't he look excited! I used DS to fit a gear from Artiste to fit over the mat. The bolts were punched from a piece of mat metallic card stock that was embossed with one of the Cricut Companion Robotz set. I stacked the embossed punches with plain ones to give them dimension since I didn't have appropriate brads both here and on the front corners of the mat. Kinda loved how that turned out and cheap, too.
The back side of the invitation has the room for the pertinent information as well as some cool gears, also cut from Artiste. Like I've been saying all along, there's something for everyone on this cartridge. (Steampunk, anyone?) I finished the back side of the pocket envie with the embossed cut out from the Cuttlebug Cogs and Wheels Embossing Plus folder. Be sure to stop by Dilly Beans Challenge Blog to see the rest of the DT's fab creations and the Shop to see all of the new Halloween stamps and MORE Robots. And if I haven't convinced you with my projects, please visit my dear friend and DT sister Susan's Blog to see more great example of the fabulous things you can do with this cart.

Although this isn't as elaborate as most of my shaped cards, I'm also entering this in Charisma Cardz Shaped Card challenge (and thank them very much for choosing me among the Top 3 last week), Divas by Design for a Child, Celebrate the Occasion Getting in Shape, Use it Tuesday Anything Goes (my beloved Scenic Route DP which I still shudder thinking that I actually CUT into it!), and Hooked on Crafts Cards for Men (I'm assuming boys are ok since the DT had boy cards, too).
