Amy's Kit

Amy's Kit

Hi,

I was getting out my Valentine supplies when I came across a kit given to me by a friend.  Her name is Amy White.  Amy is very talented and is an inspiration to me. Last Valentine's she gave me this cute kit that she created.  When she gave it to me I remember thinking what a great idea......Create a small kit to give to a crafting friend and let them have the fun of putting something together.

Amy tucked 2 stamped images, 4 embossed pieces of cardstock, gems, ribbons and a diecut into her baggie and used themed paper with her stamp to top it off.

I took Amy's kit and some scraps that I had on hand and here are 2 cards I created.

These cards were fun and very quick to put together.  I think that I am going to make a few kits this year to give to crafty friends.  I am thinking that a "birthday" kit would be fun.  Amy, thanks for the great idea!

LOVE pop-up card

LOVE pop-up card

Hello,

One of my favorite blogs for tutorials and inspiration is created by Jin Yong.  She is very creative and generously shares her knowledge with all of us.  When I saw this card on her blog I knew I had to give it a try.
http://underacherrytree.blogspot.com/2012/01/love-pop-up-card-free-download.html

Here is my version of her design.

The papers I used were exclusive to Archivers last year and have a shine to them.  The paper was designed by Kelly Panacci.  I have seen many of the same designs by her this year.

One of the things I like to do when I make a card is to make an envelope that matches the card in some way.  For this card I lined the envelope with some of the paper that I used on the outside as well as the inside of the card.

I hope you like my take on the card and make sure you check out Jin's blog at  http://underacherrytree.blogspot.com .

Bath Time Layout

Bath Time Layout

Good Morning!

Yesterday I attended a baby shower for a crafting friend.  Our group surprised her with a baby scrapbook.  We each made a 2 page layout.  Today I thought I would share my contribution with you.

                                               The bathtub and ducks are files from Silhouette.

I had some unusable mostly dried up iridescent craft paint that I sponged on the bubble cutout to give the effect of foamy bubbles.  The duck in the tub is a random sticker that I had in my stash.

            I used foam dots to elevate the bubbles.  This will allow a picture to slide behind the bubbles.

Thank you for looking.

Birthday Card

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


The Holidays were wonderful.  We were so thrilled to have our kids, grandkids and my dad for 9 days.  It was truly a magical time for us and I hope your Holidays were as joyful as ours were.

My first project for 2012 was to make some changes to my craft room.  Now that task is almost complete and I can actually spend some time crafting.

My project for today is a birthday card for a friend.  I used a set from SVG Cuts called "A2 Cards For All Occassions."  I suggest you take a look at this site.  There are many wonderful projects.  http://svgcuts.com

 I used a paper pack from ColorBok that I picked up at Target over the summer.  I adapted the pattern a bit in MTC to create the dimensional flower.  I use versmark chalk ink "white cloud" to add some highlights to the flower and edges of the card.  I also used sparkled vellum mounted to the cardstock for the background.  I enjoyed using my new Zing to make this project.

We Are Thankful Charger

Happy Friday!!!
I have another entry for the MTC challenge.  There are 11 total and I do not think I will manage all 11.
Thanksgiving is a very thoughtful time for us.  We have so much to be thankful for and it is a good time reflect on all that is good in our lives and give thanks for our blessings.

This charger was done with a gold bronze contact paper that I have had in the drawer for years.  I obtained the cornucopia from a free dingbat called LCR Autumn.  The font for the lettering is Lucinda handwriting. I used the MTC program to cut the images.
As a side note the pumpkins are  12 strips of paper that are 1" wide and 8" long that I ran through my cuttlebug with various backgrounds.  I hope you enjoy this coming week!

Santa Birdhouse

Good Morning!
As you know I am taking part in a challenge on the MTC forum.  We were provided with a cutting pattern created by MichelleMyBelle.
The challenge was inspired by http://bettys-creations.blogspot.com/2011/09/vogelhauschen-anleitung.html

Peeking inside!

I used a digital paper-pack from EchoPark called Everybody Loves Christmas. I printed my paper on the printer double sided. Inside I placed a foam sticker Chrsitmas tree from the dollar store and a Santa sticker from my stash left over from last year.  This was a quick project and fun to do.

Tissue Box Cover

Hi,
 I am great at "Scraplifting " and will try to give credit to the original creator when I know the information.  If I make a mistake please let me know so that I may give the proper credit to the deserving person!

My first post is a challenge that I am taking part in called "Nutcrackers in November" on the MTC (Make-The-Cut) forum. I used a MTC file created by "Im a cutter",  the challenge was inspired by http://www.stampavie.com/dt/2010/09/16/aahhhh-choo

I used some Christmas stash  from last year.  The Paper is from Making memories called Mistletoe and Red Glitter Love Notes.  The ribbon is from Michaels.   I thought this would be perfect for my bathroom over the Christmas season.  I did not attach it to the tissue box so that I can fold it flat for storing.

Thanks for looking!
