Hi all,
For today’s card I have another Birthday/ Special day card that I created for the Etsy shop. I love the simplicity of this card, and although it’s hard to tell through pictures, it is super dimensional and fun in person. I think the extra patterns to each balloon really gives the card an added pizzaz.
Supplies:
Card Base: Hero Arts Notecard – Neutrals
Paper: My Mind’s Eye and Authentique scraps
Stamp: TPC Studio , Simon Says Stamp
Stickles : Ranger Diamond Stickles
Hi All,
I am a person who likes change. I embrace it. I like having seasonal weather (although I could do with a little less snow), I like swapping beauty products in and out, and I especially like changing up our house when it comes to decor.
Christmas is definitely my most favorite holiday. I actually get a little sad when we have to take our tree down and put away all of the wreaths. So to brighten up a few corners of the house I created some quick decor.
Here’s a quick look at a garland I made around valentine’s day.
Each Circle was created using good crate paper fourteen collection (notice how it’s covered in x’s and o’s).
I used my silhouette cutting machine to create a scalloped circle and the inner flower shape as well.
The hearts are stitched embellishments that I added for a little extra pizzazz.
Then, I just strung them up on some bakers twine and made a few more to create a garland.
I created 2 different designs. One with a lighter pink embellishment and one with a darker pink embellishment. I also switched the pattern papers on the backgrounds. Notice how they are reversed depending on the type of embellishment? …it’s the little things.
Here’s a close up of those x’s and o’s
And here it is all hung up on the craft room door. I probably could have done a better job on spacing when it came to putting them on the twine, but I didn’t really care considering it was just for my own personal enjoyment. haha – I put way more effort into stuff I giveaway! =)
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and feel free to leave comments =)
Have a great day all ~JS
Hi All!
Welcome to a new year of fun and exciting craft ideas! I must admit that this month has flown by for me and I can’t believe that Christmas was just about a month ago! To get myself focused on crafting once again and get ‘zoned in’, I decided to make some mini-valentine’s day cards. These cards feature a style that maybe familiar to those that tend to surf Pinterest. It’s a faux chalkboard! With a little red background and some craft card stock these cards look pretty elegant for mini-cards. I love the way they turned out.
Here’s a shot of them pre-product shot. I liked the way they were scattered and decided to just go with it.
Take a closer look =)
I have more cards coming up tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Hi All,
Today I have some non-traditional Valentine’s day cards to share with you. Most of the supplies are from the November 2013 Simon Says Stamp card kit. I have been subscribed to these kits for quite some time and find them to be jam packed with products that coordinate and are at times custom designed.
For these cards I wanted to try some colors and prints that aren’t common for Valentine’s Day. Here are 3 combinations I came up with and I still have a large amount of material leftover from the kits to continue working with.
Card 1: Bright colors on a neutral background with a little twine to bring it all together. Love it.
Card 2: Stitched embellishments are always fun.
Card 3: Banner card on cork background – yes please!
What do you think of these color schemes? Are you a fan of going adventurous do you prefer the traditional route?
