Heartfelt Creations Sweet Serenity Collection – May 20th

Monday, May 20th, 2013

Father’s Day is just around the corner and I know you’re wanting to get that special man something wonderful. This is where the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Serenity Collection comes into play. Yes, at first glance, this paper does NOT look masculine in any way, shape, or form, but I promise that you can make it manly with a twist of fancy…ahem…dare I say fancy and manly in the same sentence? You betcha!

I don’t know about you, but my Father is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for. I think I may have mentioned this on more than one occasion. Impossible. Since I will be in the middle of moving and unloading boxes in my new Texas home, I wanted something easy to send to him that I know he can get what he wants. What does that mean? Yes, you’re right. A giftcard. Gift cards are a little impersonal, so let’s get this decorative holder going to show that you really do think of him and spend time on his gifts (although you don’t have to spend hours). Start with your QuicKuts Pocket Envelope, make it snazzy, and walah! Father’s Day complete.

Also in this beautiful collection comes the Vintage floret stamp, which I couldn’t pass up in making a card. This is just incredibly gorgeous and so fun to make. It looks like you’ve spent a ton of time, but really haven’t because the product does all the work for you. I like to color in the details on stamps like these to give it more color and dimension. I used a fine tip marker to make the flowers pop and draw more attention to the center. Also a great Father’s Day card idea!

A Little Note Cards

Monday, May 13th, 2013

If you’re looking for a fast and easy way to make an adorable card, then look no further. A Little Note by Hero Arts is just what you need. The pre-decorated cards allow you to take about 10 seconds to add a stamp and you’re on your way. You can use 4 different messages with that same card, which is a beautiful thing when you’re in a hurry for a all-occasion card. These are very self explanatory, so I made one card with just the stamp:

IMG_1984

 

I also wanted to spruce it up a little and add some embellishments, so I stuck with coordinating paper colors and the adorable American Craft Dear Lizzy Ribbon (which made all the difference). It’s amazing how much the cute-ness factor increases with just a little ribbon!

IMG_1985    IMG_1983

 

I also wanted to do a card with some dies, so I took out the second love of my life, Spellbinders Blossom Five, and added it to a birthday card I’ve needed to make for weeks. All four of these cards took me about 10 mintues. SO easy!

Mother’s Day Gift Album

Monday, May 6th, 2013

Alright folks, you have ONE week until Mother’s Day, so here’s is another Mother’s Day Gift Album idea. This is actually going to Grandma from my two cuties, so you can really make this for any lovely woman in your life. First off, if you’re reading this blog looking for a Mother’s Day idea, let me tell you, most women (at least the one’s I know) love thoughtful, homemade gifts from their children. Sure, you can flower her with roses (and by all means do so if you’d like), but gift her something from those children that they can help make! It’s fun, it’s personal, and it will make her heart melt.

First off, you need to choose your album. Want2Scrap has a plethora of different albums and what they’re made out of. I used a Mixed Media Album because I liked that it had different chipboard/paper/medias to offer. I’m so glad I went with this because I was able to use my imagination more and my kids were able to get their hands dirty as well! I wasn’t sure what to do with the corrugated…until I saw fingerpaints! I had her create a 2 year old masterpiece and she really liked the bumps. I had them stamp their hands on the canvas and they got to play with magic marker for another picture. I know they were in heaven as they excitedly ruined two marker heads. I’m glad they did.

After you’ve chosen your album, it’s time to choose your paper! I love the DCWV line (ok…I just love paper), but they have so many options to choose from that you can’t go wrong.

* Adhere the paper to the album FIRST, and then cut it out! I suggest using a craft knife (especially if you have an intricate album) but using scissors works great too! This makes the paper fit the chipboard better.

I used some of the new QuicKutz dies that cut AND emboss! They are so cute! They are super easy to use and I love that they don’t get stuck in the die; they just pop right out! Easy. When you’re dong with your paper/ dies, embellish that puppy up! Want2Scrap Bling and American Craft Ribbon (SO adorable!) are the perfect ways to add SO MUCH pizzaz to any project.

HAVE FUN with it and it will be awesome!

A Mothers Day Page Layout

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

I came across this beautiful and old picture of my mom and me and my brothers and I thought this would make a great Mothers day Page Layout.  My father served in the Military my whole childhood so I had the privilege to grow up overseas.  This picture, I believe was taken in Europe, and so I wanted to use some products that would bring back some of those memories from my childhood.  First Edition has this beautiful paper collection called Noir et Chic and it went perfectly with this black and white photo. I also used KaiserCraft collectables called 75 cents and it is a really fun and unique die cut shapes with warm colors and that European feel is was looking for.  I used my Sizzix Big Shot machine to cut my QuicKutz die called Nesting Flowers, to frame around my picture.  I also used, as always, some bling from Want2Scrap and Hero Hues Chalk Ink to finish off my look for my layout.  I showed my mother and her reaction was perfect, I got a huge OMG!  that was all I needed to hear to know that she loved this layout and that it brought all the feelings and memories to her that I was trying to capture.  Happy Mothers Day mom, and I love you!!

Emboss A Layout!

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

Have you ever wanted to emboss a layout but didn’t know how you would do a whole sheet? Well, now you can emboss an 8 1/2 x 11″ sheet of paper or cardstock using a few larger Spellbinders M-Bossabilities! The larger folders SKU # begins with EG. These larger dies have patterns on both sides just like the smaller sizes.

EG-002 Dainty Dots

EG-003

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EG-003 Garden Lattice

EG-002

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EG-001 Graduated Dots

EG-001

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Dainty Dots and Garden Lattice to emboss the blue and pink backgrounds for my double page layout. It gave dimension and detail to the backgrounds by simply putting a sheet of cardstock in the embossing folder and running it through my Grand Calibur. BTW- you do need to have a Grand Calibur or other machine with a minimum opening of 8 1/2 x 11″.

IMG_6254

IMG_6256

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because I needed 12 x 12″ pages, I placed the embossed cardstock on 12 x 12″ sheets of cardstock, but the white backing made the cardstock pop! Yes, this is me and my adorable grandchildren visiting a duck pond. They LOVE the ducks!

Again, I kept my layout clean and simple to give focus to the photos. I used strips of pattern paper, buttons and QuicKutz Detailz dies for embellishments.  QuicKutz Detailz are specifically designed to cut and emboss, but you can stencil with these as well! You can view all of the Detailz dies HERE. I used DC0465- Banners and DC0467-Flags  on my layout.

Make sure you have a good adhesive to adhere items to your embossed paper, otherwise it won’t stick to the raised surface! I used glue dots on my photos and embellishments and 1/4″ Scor-Tape on the ribbon for the banners. Worked great!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Spellbinders Ornate Squares Graduation Card

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

It’s Graduation week!!!! Hooray! I’ve been looking forward to this week for 6 long years for my husband to finish his Ph.D. and it’s finally here, so naturally I had to use the Spellbinders Ornate Squares for his Graduation Card!  Now, I know you’ll look at this card and think, “What? That doesn’t look like a graduation card.” Let me explain. When writing your dissertation, I’m convinced that you loose a little of your sanity and start looking for anything to entertain yourself. My hubster picked up magic tricks as his new hobby, so I was so excited that this new Bo Bunny Anthem paper had face cards on it! So, he may be getting a doctorate degree in organic chemistry, but it has been the magician inside that has kept him sane the past few months. This is exactly what I love about homemade cards! You can do any theme you want, use any paper you want (even if it’s technically for the 4th of July), and make it personal.

IMG_1649

 

The Spellbinders Ornate Squares are seriously TO DIE FOR! They are gorgeous! I also used the matching stamps by JustRite (the Ornate Happiness Squares) which are equally beautiful. I’m not sure if you can see it in the picture, but I stamped around the star paper with the graduation cap on it with the Ornate Happiness Squares. It adds just the right detail. The graduation/congratulations stamp was something I thought I’d never use and was elated to rediscover last night! Just what I needed. It’s part of the JustRite Summer Words stamps. So glad I had them! I will be using more and more of them in the near future.

So, it’s the season of graduation and you can now make a personalized card for your lucky graduate. Congratulations Class of 2013!

Kid’s Activity Bags Using Sizzix Bigz Dies

Monday, April 15th, 2013

Have you been looking for a way to entertain your children on a rainy day (or any day for that matter)? Well, kid’s activity bags using Sizzix Bigz dies are the way to go! I have been so excited to make these and I finally got around to it! Since I’m moving to Texas in a short time, I may have to throw out my scraps of fabric and felt, so I wanted to put them to good use before that happens and I am SO glad I did!

IMG_1612

First off, I have to rave about the Sizzix Bigz dies. I just can’t get over the fact that you can use your dies for fabric and felt! It really is so fun. You can do so many things with them! I got the Bigz Birds #3 for this project in mind and my daughter is in love with making birds. Can I just say, how cute would these birds be sewn onto a little shirt or onsie? Maybe an upcoming project? Hmmm…..

IMG_1598

So, let’s get down to our explanation. Activity bags! Throw some projects in a bag for your kiddos to do when they’re bored/when it’s raining/learning how to count/or just to have fun. I’ve made a little felt pizza for my daughter since she loves to cook and she loves to put all the toppings on. With the Sizzix Bigz dies, it takes all of the work out of doing these bags and makes them 100 times cuter than what I could ever cut out.

IMG_1610

For the birds, I used my Cuttlebug to cut out 3 complete sets of birds, so she has a lot to work with. I made different “dresses” out of pattern fabric for the birds to wear. I’ll tell you right now that changing clothes on birds is a LOT of fun! It even won out on the fun-ness meter over Daddy’s super cool helicopter he was flying around the house (which she watched for hours). Without furter adieu….

IMG_1614

I also used the super cute Wheelbarrow and Flowers die so we could keep up our numbers learning and count flowers. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the flower centers and the leaves since the pieces were small enough for a little guy to eat. Once again, I cut out the main wheelbarrow out of felt and then made different “dresses” to change on it as well. The same  idea was used for the trees as well. The tree top was the PERFECT shape to use for clouds, so that’s why my blue, fluffly clouds are so perfectly shaped.

Have fun with it! I know your kids will love activity bags and it will give them something to do if your going on a road trip this summer! Something fun for the car ride! Something for a rainy day! Who wouldn’t need these in their house?

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Heartfelt Creations Balmy Breeze Collection Release!

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

I am practically giddy today for the Heartfelt Creations Balmy Breeze Collection release because this collection is right up my ally! Even though I live in a desert state, I love the ocean! I love scuba diving, and walking along sandy beaches, sunsets over the water and the sound of breaking waves. Ahhh…. so relaxing.

In this collection old world vintage has been combined with tranquil seaside scenes (including a rustic compass, beach chair, fantastic surf, beaming lighthouses) and the Balmy Breeze paper pack, composed of a neutral color palette of peach and mint hues. This set is perfect for the crafter that loves creating vintage projects or for the stamper looking to create a project for her favorite man.

This collection consists of a 12 x 12 paper pack, 2 exclusive Spellbinders dies and 6 stamps. I am already anticipating what I will make with this collection. I know for sure that I will just HAVE to have them all! These will be perfect for Father’s Day cards!

Sizzix Meets Suga Pop!

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

What a fun and exciting way to start Spring off – when Sizzix meets Suga Pop! Kaisercraft paper and the Sizzix Framelits Die Set are seriously the way to go and you’ll love every project you make with them. Just peruse through the sample pictures, I dare you! You may not be able to resist yourself (sometimes like me) and you’ll have to have it all! I had a really tough time deciding which paper I was going to get just because all of the Kaisercraft paper is to die for.

I wanted to make a bajillion cards to show you just how adorable these projects were, but alas, it was way too late (again) and I was able to get one finished before my eyes started to close. I promise to have more finished beauties from these two products in the near future. They’re just so irresistible.

More Paper, Dies, Embossing Folders And Stamp Choices!

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

A perfect world for crafters is to always have more paper, dies, embossing folders and stamp choices! We love to have the latest and greatest in product. Its like an addiction, or at least it is with me. My husband actually had the nerve to tell me the other day that I had enough stuff. Eh-hem… excuse me? What is he talking about? He has literally filled his 40 x 60′ shop with old cars and car parts that he will never have time to use!  I only have one 10 x 12′ bedroom! I still haven’t got everything on my wish list from last CHA and the next CHA release is only a few more months away, so I am no where near done getting more “stuff”! Besides, he never goes in my craft room, so I don’t know why he even said that.  Oh dear…He doesn’t know what he’s talking about, right crafters? (Giggle)

Well, speaking of more…. have you seen the latest products that we have brought on in the last few weeks? Holy cow! We have brought on some great “stuff” (as my hubby calls it)!

Embossing folders from Crafts Too and Darice

Paper products from Kaisercraft

Magnolia stamps

Marianne Designs dies

And they say that dreams don’t come true. HA! Yes they do!  These products are top notch quality to give you long term use, with the exception of paper of course. Once you use paper, you can’t very well reuse it. You know what I mean.

Please note that Kaisercraft and Marianne Designs come from out of the US so our shipments take longer to arrive, but they are well worth the wait!

I hope that you will check out all of these new products! If you are like me, you will surely find lots of things to add to your wish list to make all of your scrapbooking and card making dreams come true!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Carrie
