Open House Artwork!

As promised, I said I'd share the artwork that was on display at the Open House!!!  First, I'll start with the other make-n-take card everyone got to make.  It is using the new adorable stamp set, Owls.



And here is another card that was on display, using the same stamp set:



 This card is using the new Ariana papers and the new stamp set Banner Wishes.



And here is another card using the same set:



This is another cute owl card using the stamp set from the Workshops on the Go Lollydoodle Cardmaking Kit with the Timberline papers.



This card is using some of the awesome new Paper Fundamentals Basics Assortment.  This pack is so versatile, filled with colors from the Basics color palette.



Here is another card made with the Dreamer set (I've shared a couple already), but this time I'm just using the heart from the set.



This is a cute little card made with the new Jubilee papers, and I even pulled the sentiment from one of the extra design strips on the B&T Duos.



And here are a few cards made with the new minis sets, this one is Perfect Polka-Dot Day.



This one is made with the Good Job Stencil.



And these are made with the new Hi mini set.


 


These cards are made with the new Feathers set.  Love it!!!

Gifts!

I thought I'd share a couple of projects that have been made lately. The first one was a gift for my grandma's 92nd birthday.  I decorated up a set of the My Creations Collage Cubes and made a coordinating card. 

 
 
 
 
Each side is decorated with a different print and theme.The first one had a quote on it, "You have a place within our hearts that no one else can fill.  You're a dear and special mom, grandma, and great-grandma who we love and always will." 



This side was titled Mother, with the names of her three children: Danny, Dinah and Linda.



This side was titled Grandmother, with the names of her five grandchildren: Michellette, Jason, Danielle, Danah and Dione.



This side was titled Great-Grandmother, with the names of her six great-grandchildren: Shaylee, Jocelyn, Parker, Connor, Delaney and Kyle.



On this side, it was simply grandma's first name Imogene with her birthdate.



And the last side, had another quote, "Just when a grandma thinks her work is finished, someone calls her 'great'."
 


The collage cubes are no longer in the upcoming Idea Book, so if you'd like to make something with them... I'd order a set right away.  They are on a while supplies last, and can be ordered until the end of the month as long as they are still available.

And I said that I would share the little soccer mini album that Delaney made for her soccer team, so I'm FINALLY getting around to sharing the pictures.  It is made from one 12x12 page, like the mini albums some of you made before at one of the Open Houses.  Delaney was so excited to make the Varsity Soccer team her freshman year, and then the fact they were the Sectional Champions made it even better.  So she wanted to make everyone on her team a mini album (which meant making 30 of these!!!).  I helped Delaney design the mini album, and she helped cut out everything and both of us finished putting them all together.  It takes longer than you think to make 30 of these!


 

 

 

 


And make sure to check out the link above if you'd like to make one of these cute little mini albums, the directions are available there.

Enjoy!

November's Stamp of the Month set: Illuminate

I finally got around to creating some art with November's stamp of the month set.  I love all the sentiments and images with this month's set.  It was a lot of fun to play around with.  I tried to use a different sentiment and image with each card to showcase the versatility of the set.









I had fun with some bling using our sparkles and shimmer trim. I even got out the Prisma Glitter for the third card (forgetting how it gets everywhere) -- but I think it was worth it.  It looks even better IRL.  :-)

Enjoy!

October's Stamp of the Month set: Scandinavian Wishes!

Better late than never, right? It has been very busy this month! October's stamp of the month set, Scandinavian Wishes, is just in time to start creating some holiday paper crafting. :-) I've had these ready for a while, I simply couldn't find the time to get them online.

My first card is a simple I Love You card, doesn't even have to be a "holiday" card so to speak. By stamping the heart three times and attaching them together, I created somewhat of a 3-D effect with the heart. I pulled paper from the Frosted paper packet and used some Ruby for a pop of color.



This next card is geared for the holidays, even though I pulled some paper from the Babycakes set. I went with a simple Whisper and Colonial White color scheme, this time with a splash of Cranberry for color.



For the last two cards, I got to use the brand new paper pack, Sparkle & Shine, shown in the 2013 Holiday Gift Guide.  I absolutely love it!  You can check the guide out online if you haven't seen it yet, or I have some left... stop on by and pick up your own copy (while supplies last).

I kept it simple with this card, using the diagonal striped pattern with the colors Ruby and Juniper.  I also used a bit of the polka dot paper as a banner too.



This card, I pulled a print from the Huntington paper pack; I always think it is fun to combine prints from different packs.  I took advantage of the cricut shapes as well and easily cut out the ornament shape before stamping.  I even added some sparkle & shine with the Silver Shimmer Trim and the Silver Glitz Glitter Gel.  One can never have enough bling, right?



Next up, I helped Delaney create a mini album for the high school soccer team.  (We had to make 30 of them!!!  UGH!)  I will share a picture of hers hopefully here soon.

Enjoy!
