Thinking of You Card

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a pretty card I made featuring some lovely dies from Scrapyland.com If you haven’t stopped by there, make sure you head over and take a look at all the beautiful dies. They carry a wide array of dies from all over the world!

So let’s get started, here is my card

Here is my card. The base is linen white and the beautiful patterned paper is from the DCWV Sweet Stack. I used some Spellbinders corner dies for the outer and inner decorative corners.

I used the Spellbinders Oval Beads For the two layers of oval beaded layers. I cut a duplicate out in the sweet stack paper and then trimmed off the “beaded” edge. I used the regular ovals Spellbinders dies to cut out the sentiment.

Here is a closer view of the tiny flowers and the pretty leaves. These were made using the Impression Obsession tiny rosette die set and the Elizabeth Dies Curvy Leaves set.

Here is a shot to show you how very small the actual dies are. The set comes with these four and one more not pictured that is a bit smaller than these.

To create the little rosettes, I cut them out of plain white paper. I rolled them up and then hit the tips with my Copic Marker to give just the tips some color. I liked the duo-tone of the finished flower and wanted something that matched the pattern paper I had picked. I didn’t have just the right shade of pink cardstock so this was a great alternative to pulling in the coloring without going too far off track.

Doodlecharms Santa and Rudolph Paper Piecing

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a cute Christmas layout with you. My first of this season.

Once again, I used the wonderful Doodle Charms cartridge along with some fantastic paper from the DCWV Sweet Stack. So here is what I created.

Here is a view of my completed layout. I used some very pretty paper from the DCWV Sweet Stack. Although this is not "Christmas" paper, I loved the pre-glittered, whimsy look of the red stripes and the pretty soft green with white paisley print.

Here's a closer look at my cute Santa and Rudolph piecings. I created them both with all cuts from the Doodlecharms Cartridge. 

Here is a closer view of the Title block. The letters were cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge. But you could use anything here :-)

Lastly, this is just a shot trying to show how pretty that background paper is. It is pre-glittered and has the perfect look for this layout.

Pumpkin Patch Cutie Layout

Hello crafty friends,

Hope your weekend was a fun one in which you got to spend a little time crafting! I was able to create this layout for today. Today is also a bit special because I get to announce that I was recently added to the Fab Four Design team for Scrapyland.com. Scrapyland.com is an online retailer with a huge selection of dies, copics, papers, adhesives and all the other fun stuff that makes our paper crafting so much fun! So let’s get to my simple and fun project.

Here is a view of my layout. I used the Classic Doodlecharms cartridge with my Cricut Expression. The bear, pumpkins and brown charms were created with the cartridge. The patterned paper I used is from the DCWV Sweet Stack. I think this has to be one of my top 5 favorite stacks. I added a pretty strip of American Crafts Ribbon to the photo with a sweet little bow at the bottom.

Here is a closer look at the cute little bear. I “paper pieced” her together all from cuts in the cartridge.

I added a cute little button and some twine to the center of the little flower on her head. I inked her edges with Cocoa Cat’s Eye Pigment Ink.

"Cricut Paper Piecings" you can find them HERE

Here is a view of the entire title. I used small doodlebug brads to fasten the 

charms to some burlap cord.

Here’s a closer look at the lettered charms. I created the title charms in Adobe Photoshop 

and sized them so they cut out with a 1” circle punch.

I layered the lettering on a green, 1 1/8” circle punch and a white 1 1/4” scalloped punch.

Here’s a closer look at the pumpkins. I inked the outer edges in some Mango Tango Colorbox pigment ink and then used some Pebbles Basic Brights 10 pc. Chalk Ink to add some color to the leaves and the pumpkins. I also used my Copic E23 Hazelnut marker to add a little brown to the stems.

I used the following products to complete this project

Copic E23 Hazelnut Sketch Marker	Cocoa Cat’s Eye Pigment ink	Mango Tango Cat’s Eye Pigment Ink
