Many of you are familiar with Spellbinders Impressabilities, especially if you are a card maker, but have you tried the Grand Impressabilities? These are fabulous for Scrapbookers since they will emboss/deboss almost a full 8 1/2 x 11″ sheet of paper!

The Impressabilities templates will emboss, deboss, stencil, letter press and embellish all in one product.

Impressabilities embellishment templates allows crafters to effortlessly emboss or deboss the front of your scrapbook layout or add embossed or debossed accents to pre-cut shapes and letters, creating uniquely detailed embellishments.

Using micro-tip scissors, Impressabilities can also be trimmed to create custom templates for flourishes, frames, charms and more. And, when used with inks, Impressabilities templates can create elegant debossed Letter Press effects.

Here are a couple projects that I did using the Fall Splendor Grand Impressabilities which is perfect for this time of year.

 I embossed a sheet of card with the Fall Splendor in my Grand Calibur then rubbed Tim Holtz Distress Ink over the top to bring out the leaves.

I also used  DC0202 Nesting Maple Leafs and the Splendid Alphabet (back ordered) from Quickutz.

This box was fun. I cut the box using Spellbinders LF-012 Square Petal Top Box then ran it through with the Fall Splendor. I used DCWV Shimmer card stock and Tim Holtz Distress Ink again to bring out the embossed images.  I finished it off with some Petaloo glitter leaves.  Fill with candy and have a great office gift!

I hope that gives you some ideas for the weekend!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

It is crunch time to get you gifts done for Mother’s Day if you haven’t already! Here’s an idea for a card box if your mom likes cards, but needs a place to store them, or you can fill the box with pre-made cards for her to use when needed! Of course I used roses, because that is what mom’s like! Right?

The paper I used for my tin box  is the Rustic Paper Stack from DCWV ( It is an exclusive to JoAnn Stores), and the Shimmer Stack for the roses. To cut the roses I used QuicKutz Roses die. Easy! I cut it out with my Cuttlebug Machine then rolled them up and glued them in place with some Zip Dry Paper Glue!

I used Spellbinders Lacey Ovals to cut a copper frame from the Precious Metals Premium Craft Foils, then topped with Classic Ovals Small stamped with a saying from Just Rite Stampers The Greatest Joy Borders & Centers Set! I finished it off with flowers from Petaloo Canterbury Collection Rose & Berries Branch and some ribbon!

This was a lot of fun! It took me a minute to practice making the roses with some regular paper, but found that the thicker card stock made it easier! Just roll it up with your fingers and let go for it to take shape, then glue it where you want it!

Have fun making your Mother’s Day projects!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Introducing the brand new Basic Grey 6×6 Hello Luscious and Life of the Party Paper Pads! I tell you, I can’t seem to get caught up with getting all of this adorable paper! The manufacturers are putting it out faster than my paycheck can keep up! Oh well, they keep my mind spinning with ideas!

Here are two projects using these new paper pads:

I used three different patterns from Hello Luscious Paper Pad for this first card. Using the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accent for the paper embellishment and Petaloo’s Canterbury Collection Rose and Berries Branch (Mauve). I just cut off a piece of it for my card and tied a ribbon around the stem! The stamp is from Stampin’ Up!

This is a birthday card for my youngest son, who just went into Basic Training! (Go ARMY N.G.!)  I used the Life of the Party Paper Pad. I spruced it up with Petaloo’s Canterbury Collection Sunflower Leaf Branch and Sunflower Pick. My little 2×2 Owl is from QuicKutz as well as the Dragonfly Alphabet that I used for my title! I finished it off with tiny google eyes on the O’s and in between branches!

Well, that’s it! What do you think? I love the woodgrain in this paper! That’s not all! There are patterns that you can use for school, birthday, etc. in this pad! Both of these paper pads are darling! I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Wedding?  Shower? Birthday? Doesn’t matter, I always think of needing a card at the very last minute! I am notorious at my house of forgetting the cards! Are any of you the same way? Well, those of you who are card makers probably aren’t, but I am more of a scrapbooker than a card maker, so I don’t always have a card on hand for any occasion!

I decided that, for me, it is a good idea to have some pre-made cards on hand that I can add an embellishment or two in a hurry and go! Die Cuts With A View’s Box of Cards collection is a winner! They have a very nice assortment per box to choose from, add embellishments (or not) and have an original card to give in minutes!  I could add a specific title  or stamped label to spruce it up a bit more, but I am still done in no time at all!

For my examples I used cards from Latte, La Creme, Citrus and Street Lace! My embellishments were Petaloo Dazzlers, Petaloo Celebrations, Embellishments by Petaloo, and Metal Staples from Graphic 45!

So, there you have it! Quick and easy card embellishments in a snap!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

The Canterbury Collection from Petaloo is unique because it is designed for home decor, weddings and your upper end projects, when you need something that looks expensive, but is very affordable.

One of my favorite products from my friends at Petaloo is the Jeweled Candies! Jeweled Candies are acrylic flowers that are so easy to use! The acrylic makes them very bright and shiny, so they look great as an accent flower mixed in with softer flowers and also look great on their own. They adhere easily to paper or any surface with the Zip-Dry glue or use the Click and Stick foam squares from 3L Scrapbook Adhesives to make them pop out a bit. You can also use alcohol inks to change the color a bit, like adding yellow ink to a red Jeweled Candies for an orange flower – and just in time for Halloween and Thanksgiving!

Can you spot the Jeweled Candies in this gorgeous design by Lori Gentile Designs? She used the teal candies in the lower left and the upper right corner and mixed them with other Petaloo fabric flowers.

Have fun and look for our newsletter coming out tomorrow!

Happy Scrappin!
