  • Tie it Up for Cute Card Thursday!

    Have you been playing along with Cute Card Thursday?  I have been having a blast as guest designer this month with them and this week we have a great challenge for you:

    Tie It Up!

    I had a lot of ideas for this theme and I really wanted to do one that involved lacing.  Somehow, though, my lacing turned into a few stitches.  But I really did get my needle out and was sewing through my card!

     

    I tried adding a bow to the card but I just couldn’t make it work without it feeling too over the top.  So I reminded myself that keeping it sweet and simple can be exactly the right way to go sometimes. Smile

    For those of you who are Stampin’ Up! fans, this is your chance to get a peek at all 5 of the new In Colors that will be coming out in June.  I finally started playing with my new papers and love how pretty they look when you mix them together.  Almost a pastel without being too faded or “baby”.

    I have to admit, I’m kind of digging the Crisp Canteloupe (orange) and Pistachio Pudding (green) the most right now… though a lot of people are big fans of the Strawberry Slush (pink).  And then there is the Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar.

    So, get inspired and try out something new!  If you have an idea for the “Tie it up!” theme – head on over to Cute Card Thursday and submit your fabulous creations for their challenge!

  • Scrapbooking Sunday: Sent with Love–a Leadership Layout

    If you remember, this was my first year attending Leadership convention.  I was so excited that I had promoted to Manager and so I had earned an entry into Manager’s Reception.  Well, this year, Manager’s Reception was at Harry Potter’s Wizardly World in Orlando.  Um, yes please!!

    The whole weekend was super fun and so I just had to try to start committing at least some of it to a scrapbook.  And I found that the Sent with Love designer paper was a fun way to accent this first photo I scrapped:

    The title here was actually made up of two different elements that I cut out of one of the pages of the Sent with Love Designer series paper (and even though you can’t see some of the pieces, I promise you they are from this page Smile:
    image

    See… isn’t it perfect?  And oh so true because the adventure of earning Leadership and then going their with my Mom (who is also my upline) was a blast!

    Then, for a bit more whimsy on my page, I took squares of the designer paper and cut them in half to make triangles and then stacked them like arrows.  I totally mis-cut some paper, so when I fixed it I had thin strips of paper which I glued as a center piece in the triangles.

    Then I used my Tombow liquid glue to draw dots where I wanted my twine to do loopty-loops along the side of my page and then pressed my Island Indigo baker’s twine into the loopy pattern on the right!

    The sad thing is that I love this paper and I completely hoarded it and suddenly realized that it is retiring in 2 days!  Yikes!

    So if you want to get in on the Sent with Love suite, check it out online today and grab yours before it goes away April 30th.

    And since I’m in a reminiscing mood… I thought I’d share some of the other memories I need to scrap:  Harry Potter and Manager’s Reception, Amazing on-stage demonstrations, winning Prize Patrol, and meeting Shelli!

  • Blast From The Past Thanks to April’s Best of Butterflies

    I love the idea of the “Best of” stamps… Stampin’ Up!’s way of celebrating their 25th anniversary by bringing back some of their best selling images from the past 25 years.  Now, that said, I wasn’t too in love with the first couple sets – they just weren’t my style. But now that they have announced April’s set, I love it!

    Best of Butterflies!

    This was a card I made back in July of 2011 and I still really like it:

    I had borrowed the stamp set from my mom to create the butterfly center piece and loved the unique shape of the butterfly.  But the stamp set (Strength and Hope) never carried over from the spring catalog and so I missed my chance to get it.

    So, if you were like me and missed it when it was around the first time, you can get it and other butterfly images in this set.  Here are all the different styles:

    Best of butterflies

    Best of Butterflies Stamp Set

    Aren’t they pretty?!

    I keep looking at the different butterflies and having more and more ideas for how I would use the different images… so guess I’ll be getting this set! Smile

    How about you?  How are you liking the “Best of” stamp sets?

  • Scrapbooking Sunday: Sunburst w/ Sunshine & Sprinkles

    Look, it’s back!  It’s Scrapbooking Sunday!

    I love, love, love making cards.  But boy did I miss making scrapbook pages.  I have photos piled up in my craft room and that is only the ones I’ve printed in the last year thinking I was going to be getting way more scrapbooking done than I did!  So, I decided to play along with a sketch challenge at ScrapbookSteals and um… I think I jumped back in at a challenging time.

    We had to make a sunburst on our scrapbook page! I had never done that before and it was a challenge for me.  But I just LOVE how it turned out!

    I used the Sunshine and Sprinkles designer paper because I liked the bright and cheery colors and how they matched so well with the summery colors and feel of the photo (that is my daughter Caitlin last summer in our new inflatable swimming pool.  Also one of my favorite pictures of her!)

    The sketch called for buttons in your sun rays but as I was playing with my buttons I realized that my “x” buttons from the Bitty Buttons set looked kind of like stitches and I was sold.  Smile

    And as I tried to figure out what I would use for a title for this page, I remembered the Vintage Verses stamp set (on of the Free exclusive sets from Sale-a-Bration) and thought the “There’s Only One You” was a perfect fit.  Combine that with the cool background shape from Everything Eleanor, and BAM! Title done!

    You can also see in that picture the Melon Mambo striped organdy ribbon (which I’m way more in love with than I thought because it is so soft and vibrant!) and the Delicate Details lace tape which I thought would be a great subtle accent for the page.

    Finally, I have to show you the last touch that I’m kind of proud of… the Baker’s Twine flower!  I made it myself!

    I started with a glue dot on the page and a piece of Island Indigo Baker’s Twine.  Then I formed loops and with each loop, I ran the twine back over the glue dot in the center  (I had to add a second glue dot over the first to help hold it all down but it all worked out).  Then to finish off the center I had a Wisteria Wonder printed brad that I covered in Crystal Effects and dipped in Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  Let it dry and then set in the middle of my flower for a cute finishing touch!

    I love how this page turned out and hopefully you got some fun ideas for incorporating into your own scrapbook pages.

  • Sycamore St Scrapbook Layout: Great Grandparents

    Some incredibly talented girls I know started a paper crafting challenge blog a year ago called The Paper Girls Challenge Blog.  They post challenges twice a month for fun and (sometimes) prizes.

    Well, I was so honored to be asked by them to be one of two guest designers this month – so I totally know what cool challenge is coming up later this month… and no, I’m not going to tell you.  hee hee!

    Anyway, today is their first challenge for February and it was:
    Use Twine in Your Project!

    Ta da!

    Now, their challenge doesn’t have to be for a scrapbook layout – I could have done a card.  But I do cards all the time and I figured I needed the extra challenge. Smile

    So, I decided to show some quick and easy ways to use twine.  I grabbed my Island Indigo Baker’s Twine and wrapped some around all four sides of an 8.5” x 8.5” piece of River Rock cardstock.  Then I tucked some pictures under the twine – I was going for the “memo board” look.  So parts of the pictures are over the twine and some are under.

    Thanks to my amazing foresight, I made sure to dress my daughter in a brightly striped shirt so that it would match great with the new Sycamore St designer paper that you can get free from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Ok, so this picture was from May 2012 and I totally lucked out, but I’ll take it!

    I also wrapped some twine around the “G” in “Great” at the top of the page, but of course realized late last night that the top of the picture is a bit blurry.  Oops!  So, trust me, it is wrapped around the “G” and looks cute.

    TIP:  If you have alphabet letters that you think are starting to blend into the background of your page like mine were.  Grab a marker (in this case, my Island Indigo Stampin’ Write marker) and with the fine tip, trace around the letter on your page.  It gives the letters a subtle border that really helps it pop!

    Think you have a cool idea for using twine or just want to try to use the twine you have sitting at home?  Visit The Paper Girls Challenge Blog to see more inspiring ideas and then create your own project and add it to the challenge list.  I’d love to see what different ideas you create!

  • My Little Valentine with Greeting Card Kids

    You may remember my somewhat recent watercoloring on glossy paper posting using this adorable Greeting Card Kids stamp set.  Well, I’m back at it again, this time with a Valentime’s Day theme.  I just loved this cute little girl and thought she needed to be colored up for the holiday.

    It was the same idea, heat emboss the stamped image – this time in black – and grab my neglected aqua brush and get to work coloring and blending on glossy paper.  I tried my hand at shading with mixed results.

    But then I preceeded to distract from… ahem, I mean highlight, the coloring with some brightly colored accents on the card. Smile  From the Real Red polka dot dsp from the Polka Dot Parade pack, to the wrapped Cherry Cobbler bakers twine… and just a touch of bling in the corner.  All adds up (I think) to a sweet little card that needs no sentiment at all.

    And if you know me and how hard of a time I have leaving a card front sentiment-free, you know this is a big deal for me! ha ha!

    So, grab your aqua pen and give it a whirl.  I promise it’s fun!

  • Christmas Gift Tags from Scraps and No Peeking

    Ok, so Christmas is only 2 days away!  Eep!  Are you ready and have all your presents wrapped?  I’ll admit, I have most of them wrapped but not all of them!

    But wrapping presents got me thinking about gift tags and I was going crazy with the No Peeking set and had so much fun playing with my ribbon and paper scraps to make a variety of tags for this year.  Check out what I made:

    It all started with me stamping a bunch of images on scrap paper and then picking up extra cardstock scraps from around my craft table and punching or cutting them into roughly tag shapes.

    First I grabbed some Gumball Green and heat embossed the “No peeking” sentiment with white embossing powder.  Then I punched them out and added some ribbon and cut out stamped images

     

    Next were some simple flap style tags.  I scored them so that the heat embossed sentiment (white for the “no peeking” and Early Espresso for the “Jolly Christmas”) would show when it was closed.  Then I decorated the flap with cut out stamped images and ribbon.

    Next I was on to some more simple tags.  I just embossed or stamped the images of the penguin and reindeer and cut them out, then layered them onto the Real Red scallop and Gumball Green circle.  Stamp the “To: From:” sentiment on the back and you are good to go!

    Finally, my last set were my random experiments.  I had an extra reindeer on a scallop circle and thought it would look cute on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock (really like how this turned out) and I tried to leave enough space so you can actually write who it is to and from.  (I had thought this through in my head before seeing how much space there actually was!)

    And finally, my ultimate in playing.  I had the scrap of Crumb Cake and Real Red and decided to do a twisted tag.  I stamped and then heat embossed the penguin in Basic Black (it looks awesome heat embossed by the way) and then colored in some of the spaces with my Real Red marker.  Then I stamped a little bird next to him also in Basic Black (you can see how much nicer it looks embossed this way).  Then I added some “snowballs” aka pearls along the side.

    So there you have it!  Some quick last minute gift tags to add a touch of handmade to your projects.

  • Don’t You Just Love This Reindeer?

    I know, I just shared another card with this stamp but isn’t this reindeer sooo cute? 🙂  I was having a bit of fun with this stamp set – No Peeking –  and seem to be having a love affair with “cute” stamp sets, so I hope you don’t mind!

    This is an idea for a quick and cute holiday card that you can easily produce a lot of in a little amount of time –especially if you use one of the bigger clear blocks to mount the sentiment and the reindeer on the block at the same time.  Then just ink up your reindeer with your Early Espresso ink pad and your sentiment with markers!

    Tie some matching baker’s twine around the card and you have a sweet card that is ready to go!

  • A Clean and Simple One Layer Gratitude Card

    First, let me start by wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
    Whether you are with family and friends for the holiday, or just having your typical day at home – I hope it is a wonderful day for you!

    I always love the time to get all of our family in the area for an afternoon of relaxing and eating an awesome meal – especially when it is like this year and I am not hosting! 😉  I love having people over, but after the last year or two hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is kind of nice to get to take food to someone else’s house this time.

    Well, before I head out to eat way too much good food – I thought I would share a thank you card I made with my group in our last team meeting.  It is a great clean and simple card that doesn’t take a lot of time or supplies but looks really nice in person.

     

    This is the technique of using a clear block to stamp a background image.  I used my ‘H’ Clear Block and inked it up with Crumb Cake ink.  Stamp your block directly to your card base, if you don’t get a solid image – try again either with your cardstock on a softer surface (like on a magazine) or pick up your cardstock and block and flip them over so you can rub the paper to help pick up the ink.

    Then stamp your images – in this case, leaves and acorns from the Day of Gratitude stamp set.  Then, just add a bit of bakers twine, to the top and you are done!

  • Mixed Medley Hanging Christmas Wreath Card

    Thanks to everyone who sent their good luck wishes or stopped by my Stampin’ Up! booth at the Seattle Creating Keepsakes Convention!  It was fun to set up as a vendor this year though it turned out to be quite the eventful weekend with my entire family getting taken out suddenly by the stomach flu.  But everyone made it through and life is getting back to normal – and I look forward to having some new crafting friends in the future from the show. 🙂

    Well, today I thought I’d share a card we made in one of this year’s Christmas stamp-a-stacks.  Each month we have been doing a different set of cards and this was one of the first.

    Merry Christmas hanging wreath card

     

    The designer series paper makes it look a little like you are looking out the window to a snowy forest to me, do you see it?

    Merry Christmas hanging wreath card close upThen we made a “wreath” to hang on the bottom part of the card.  We started by taking some Cherry Cobbler baker’s twine and gluing the two ends together and under the Cherry Cobbler cardstock so that you have a loop on your card front.  Then use a Stampin’ Dimensional to glue down the twine where the wreath will be – because you are using a foam dimensional, you can make the loop spreadout so that it looks kind of like a triangle…. does that make any sense? 🙂

    Basically make your loop of bakers twine look like a teardrop and stick the dimensional across the fat base of your teardrop to hold it in place.  Then cover up your dimensional with your stamped images from the Mixed Medley hostess set.

  • Sponged Holiday Ornament Card for the Stamp-a-Stack

    Last night I was finished up the final design touches and prepping for my first Christmas Card stamp-a-stack this weekend.  I need to get the cards photographed so I can share some of the fun things we will be doing but I really wanted to get at least one up today so I hope you don’t mind the more “rough” photography I did for this one card.  🙂

    delightful decorations christmas stamp a stack card

     

    I wanted to have a good mix of colors for the cards so they weren’t all red/green combos, so I started thinking blue and that got me thinking sponging for whatever reason.  So, this card started coming together.  We are going to be punching out an ornament shape from some cardstock (the backing from the designer series paper packs you get) to use as a mask for our Whisper White base.  Then we will sponge using Baja Breeze and Island Indigo to make the mottled ornament shapes.  Add a bit of Dazzling Details for their “strings” and they make a nice background.

    The front ornament is stamped in Island Indigo and punched out with the Ornament punch but if it looks a little funny to you, that is because we are going to cover it with Shimmer Paint!  It gives it a really pretty shimmery sheen when you stamp.  Check it out:

    To get this look, you ink up your stamp in your color of choice, and then take a sponge dauber and dab it in your Shimmer Paint.  Tap the sponge dauber all over the surface of your inked stamp to add the shimmer and then stamp like normal!  Very pretty effect!

    Add a rhinestone to the middle and some Whisper White bakers twine for the string and you are done!  Its an easy card with a lot of pizzazz  I may have to do more of these for my own personal Christmas cards this year. 🙂

  • Creating a Scallop Border with Stamped Circles

    starter circles from Everything EleanorAfter creating my Everything Eleanor swap cards for convention (this card), I was left with a bunch of circles that I punched out from the middle of the scallop circle image from the stamp set.  I think it is meant for journalling but since I had been trying to make a wreath, I didn’t need them on the card.  But I though they had to be useful for something so I saved them, even though I had no idea what to do with them.

    Well, I started laying them out to make a polka dot background for a scrapbook page or card but wasn’t loving what I was creating so I started overlapping them and realized that I liked the fun effect of getting all the lines to match up so it looked like you had a continuous pattern even though you were using a bunch of different pieces.  So, I started adhering them together into strips to use as a scallop border.

    front of scallop edge with circles

     

    This could make a cute scallop trim for a card or scrapbook page depending on how many circles you adhere together.  In my case, I sponged the edge of each row and layered them together to be accents for my photo on a scrapbook page.

     

    I tried to line up my rows so that the stamped lines matched up and it looked kind of like you had one continuous pattern.  As you can see, I didn’t always get it exactly right but I was more focused on using up my scraps than making sure everything was perfect! 🙂

    I like how in the end it is a cool fluffy effect without looking too frilly or girly for a picture of my son from this past July.

    I also tried to keep the page simple by only using 2 colors of cardstock, 2 colors of ink, 2 extra embellishments (Faceted buttons and Early Espresso Baker’s Twine), and one stamp set – Everything Eleanor.

    And speaking of my son… after I had just finished the page and had gone upstairs to feed the baby, my son came up a few minutes later looking like this:

    Nicholas and the marker

    After freaking out trying to figure out what he had eaten, he told me he had “colored with a marker!”  Yup, that same marker I had used to journal on that scrapbook page!  I got him to bring me the marker and the caps (that took 2 different requests).  But then my husband checked on where he had used the marker and told me

    “He colored all over some paper on the table and the table”  **heart attack again!**

    I asked what had happened to the scrapbook page and Scott said he hadn’t seen the scrapbook page.  So I raced downstairs and saw this:

    Nikos coloring adventure

    I am very thankful to report that while he colored on much of my table, that he managed to miss the scrapbook page entirely!  Whew!

    So there you have it, hopefully that gives you another idea for what you can do with your scraps.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this idea!
