Hello Card Using My Pazzles InVue

Hello crafty friends,
My turn to share a project for my Pazzles design team. My assignment was to choose one of the fun projects in the InVue software and make a couple of projects with the same pattern. These projects are found in the local directory of your InVue Software. There are layouts and card projects to choose from. I chose the Treasured Friendship card project.

project starts with a prescribed base. From there you can look in the modifiers folder and find sub folders to change up your backgrounds, sentiments and themed images. It really takes a lot of the guess work for creating a project from scratch.

This screen shot shows you the folder structure.

Here were my choices for the backgrounds.

Here were my choices for the sentiments

Here were my choices for the themed images.

For my first card, I created I chose to "flip" the base from a horizontal to vertical orientation. I cut that out of kraft cardstock. I then created a couple of quick layers for the mats in black cardstock and then used some beautiful paper from the Close To My Heart Yuletide collection. I then chose the scallop edge from the background modifiers folder. I cut that in black cardstock. The base of the card came with the pennant shape. I just created a couple of layers so that I could cut it in cream, black and more Yuletide patterned paper.

I then chose the layered flowers cut from the themed images modifier folder and cut them in layers in cream cardstock. I inked the edges of the flowers with my Pixie ink and then curled them as I staggered the layers to give them a more dimensional look. I used some pearls for the centers. For the sentiment. I chose the hello you sentiment from the sentiments modifier folder. I did weld the words together as I wanted to make it easier to apply the title. I then finished off the card by adding some pretty ribbon along the top. It came together easily and helped me create an elegant looking card in a short amount of time.

Doodlecharms and DCWV Crow Piecings Layout

Hello crafty friends,

I was going through my blog and I don't know how this got "unpublished" from last year, so I went ahead and republished this post. Strange how technology works, but somehow I messed things up...so I guess you could consider this a "throwback Thursday" sorta post...lol. Anyway here it is....I am sharing a layout I created with the Doodlecharms cartridge and some great DCWV Citrus Stack Paper.

Here is a look at my entire two page layout. All the cuts were from the Doodlecharms Cartridge. The cute little crows are my own designs, paper pieced from cuts found on the cartridge. The letters are from the Art Philosophy cartridge. All of the pretty, patterned paper is from the DCWV Citrus Stack. I love that these paper would work for many different types of layouts and projects.

Here is a closer look at the cute little crow sitting on top of a photo mat holding his cornstalk. Next to him is a basket full of harvest goodies. I used some Pebbles Basic Chalks for the white around the crow’s pieces as well as some Frost White Pigment Ink. I used Maroon Chalk Ink for the apples, Cocoa for the basket, Orange for the Pumpkins. Warm Green for the leaves and stalks. Butterscotch for the corn, beaks, feet and hay bale. I also used my Copic E59 marker to color the apple and pumpkin stems. I decided to do that as opposed to cutting out all of the stems separately in brown paper…Waste not, want not. All of these supplies can be found at Scrapyland.com

Here is a closer look at the cute little crow topper.

Here’s a closer look at the cute little crow sitting on a bale of hay. He is holding a stalk of corn and surrounded by pumpkins, apples and more cornstalks.
