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’!

We are so excited to be stocking the new Graphic 45 Metal Staples! If you are into vintage, then you will want to make sure you take a look at these! There are Alphabet Sticker Staples, Chipboard Button Staples, Black Policy Envelope Staples, Envelope Tag Staples and much more!

I did a bit of playing last night with the Graphic 45 Curtain Call 12×12 Paper Pad, using the Chipboard Button Staples and one of the Metal Tag Staples. There are 3 of each size. I used one of the large pieces. I added a doily which brings back childhood memories of when my mom used to crochet doilies! The enhanced photo is of my mom and her little sister who both wanted to be actresses when they were little! I found the key in the old treadle sewing machine that we inherited from my husband’s grandmother! Cool! You never know what my be lurking around your house waiting to be included in a layout!

My title is cut from QuicKuz English Rose Alphabet on a mat cut from the Spellbinder’s CHA release Grand Large Labels #2 die (due in March!)

I really don’t like using a lot of adhesives on photos, especially older photos, so I like to attach them with photo corners! I used 3L Black Photo corners on this page to match the paper!

I hope you get a chance to browse the new Metal Staples! These make  some really fun embellishments for all kinds of projects!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

I was introduced to Nestabling using the 2011 release that coordinates with S5-030 Fancy Tags Two!  Here are a few quick projects that I used them for!

For my first project I used paper from DCWV 12 x 12 Whimsy Paper Stack, S4-311 Labels Nineteen, S5-030 Fancy Tags Two with coordinating Nestabling!

This card was unbelievably easy using DCWV 4.5 x 6.5 Whimsy Mat Stack, S5-030 Fancy Tags Two with coordinating Nestabling! Fast, easy and pretty! It looks like I spent hours using glitter and rhinestones! NOT!!!

I love to scrap my granddaughter! She may be little, but she cracks me up with her big personality! She is already showing off like a “Little Clown”, so I decided on Graphic 45 Le Cirque 12 x 12 paper pad. The colors are as vibrant as she is, so it is perfect! I also used LF-246 Grand Labels Eleven and, of coarse, S5-030 Fancy Tags Two with Nestabling! After all, the Big Top has pizazz!

I can’t wait until the new Nestabling arrives! It is such a quick and easy embellishment and adds so much to your project! I am sold!

Keep watch for these items coming soon!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’

Here are some new papers released from Graphic 45 at CHA in Chicago.  There is also a video at the end of this post showing two of the lines Halloween Wonderland and Christmas Past. Christmas past is a new re-release with 4 new papers!

Here is a quick look at the new paper from Graphic 45! The Christmas Past collection is different from the one they released lat year. They added four more papers and two more colors – plum and country blue.

They came out with a unique twist on Halloween paper I think you will enjoy with Hallowe’en in Wonderland:

Think Alice in Wonderland on Halloween! The colors are great, especially the purples!

Steampunk Debutante is a very unique look of nostalgic travel:

The Halloween paper in the 8×8 and 12×12 will be arriving next week, and the other two are available for pre-order in the 8×8 and 12×12 paper pad sizes as well. They should be arriving the first week in August.

This great idea comes from Beth from the Spellbinders Blog.  She cut the points off two different sizes of the Star nestabilities and attaches the points to a ribbon to make a pennant. What a creative way to use your star die cuts!

She also used my favorite Graphic 45 paper, A Proper Gentleman. What a handsome gift bag for Father’s Day and any other masculine holiday! Thanks Beth!

We are so excited about this last CHA release! I think it is one of Spellbinders best releases to date. The Big Scallops are very hot and of course the Labels are flying off the shelf. Here are a few of my favorites to compare with what you like:

I love the Labels Ten because it reminds me of a vintage luggage tag. This label look great with the vintage paper from Graphic 45, the Transatlantique. I chose the Big Scallops because of the deep wide curve of the scallop. The Lotus Pendant is so versatile with the different flower centers and looks gorgeous on a romantic layout. Don’t forget the little trick for the pendant dies to make them come of your die cutting machine smoothly. Run the die through with wax paper first. It gives you just enough of a waxy coating so the intricate cuts come out beautifully. Or you can try the Paper Glide. Just a little spray will do ya! Awesome product.

Have fun!
