Best Buds Pazzles Craft Room Layout

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a super quick and easy layout for my Pazzles DT. I chose the DCWV Neon Chic paper stack for all the patterned papers. The only other paper used is some black cardstock.

I started by using my software to “layout” my page. This alone is a huge time saver. You can determine what sizes you need your elements to be before you make a single cut. I will even import my picture into the page so that I know exactly what size I want to print the image out once I am done designing. The additional benefit to doing this is, you can “save” this layout in your library and you can “reuse” this base layout again and again! Here's a picture of what the layout looks like in my software.

Here is a totally different layout using the same design from above. I simply added different elements and it’s ready to cut and assemble.

Because the paper is very busy and energetic, I needed to keep the layout really, simple. I layered several mats of the different paper in the stack. I cut the doily frame from the craft room in plain black cardstock. I used some foam tape to give that layer just a little lift.

Then I used the creamy flower file and cut several flowers in different sizes from another piece of paper from that same stack. I cut the leaves from that same file in the green and black patterned paper. I simply layered the flowers and turned the petals slightly up to give them a bit of dimension. I added a doodlebug beetle black rhinestone gems to the center of each flower. I used some more foam tape to give the flowers a bit more lift. I adhered the flowers, leaves and photo to the layout.

Lastly, I created the best buds chalk art title in my Pazzles software. I simply printed it right out from the software, matted it onto some black cardstock and that’s it! I was all done. No inking, stitching or other embellishing necessary. I encourage you to try your hand at “designing” your complete project in your software. There are so many benefits to doing it this way. Namely as a time and material saver.

Shamrock Die Cut Card

Hello crafty friends,

Hope you’re having a great day. It’s another Terrific Tuesday and that means it’s time for another project featuring some wonderful goodness from Scrapyland.com So here is what I am sharing with you today.

Here’s a look at my finished card. This is another “unplugged” card. My definition of “unplugged” means no electronic die cut machines used. No electricity. The finished size of the card is 5.5. x 5.5. The patterned background paper is from the DCWV Sweet Stack.  made this super cute shamrock featuring a heart shaped die from die versions. I just cut three of them out of the Glittery green paper from the Die Cuts With A View Cotton Bloom Stack and then lined them up and then cut apart a piece for the “stem”

Here is a shot of the heart and I cut it apart for the stem.

Here’s a shot of how I put the hearts together to form the shamrock.

Here is a closer look at the shamrock on the card.

Here is one last look at the card. I finished off the card with some pretty corner flourishes from the Spellbinders D-Lites Corner die and some pretty little pearl embellies from Hobby Lobby The Paper Studio Gemstones

Hugs Card "Unplugged"

Good morning crafty friends,

It’s another Terrific Tuesday and that means it’s time for another project for my Scrapyland DT. Today I am sharing another “unplugged” card with. “unplugged” means no electricity used to create this project. All of it was created with manual dies and or punches, etc.  So here is what I came up with today.

The finished card size is 4.25 x 5.5. The base is from White cardstock. I then used a red cardstock mat. Aside from the red, black and white cardstock all the rest of the paper was from the Basic Grey Urban Prairie 6x6 paper pad.

Here is a closer look at the little flowers. I used the Quickutz 2x2 Tiny flower die with my Quickutz Squeeze tool to cut these out of some of the yellow paper in the pad.. The centers are little dots of Mint Green liquid Pearls. The leaves were cut from some of the green paper in the pad with the Elizabeth Crafts Curvy Leaves Die.

I used last week’s Mojo Monday sketch as my layout inspiration for the card.

The majority of the products I used can be found at Scrapyland.com
