Spellbinders Heart die

A few Valentines made from the papers left over from the Valentines class I offered this past Tuesday and the Sunday before.  Check out our class board at the store or the one on the website for upcoming classes we are offering.  We have a bunch coming up!

MATERIALS:
     Paper: October Afternoon and Paper Cut cardstock
Spellbinders Heart And Scallop Heart
Stamp: Rosie's Roadshow
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Walnut Stain"

Love the pink and brown combo on this paper.  The fun part of this is the other side happens to be the flower pattern.

MOXXIE SPRING TIME

New papers for Spring are all I need to get my creativity jump started.

MATERIALS:
     Paper: MOXXIE Springtime
     Paper Cut Metallic cardstock
Punch: Martha Stewart butterfly and hydrangea
Liquid Pearls by Ranger

Simply paper and more paper with the added bonus of a dab of liquid pearl to the middles.

Graduation cards

Another graduation card for the year 2012.  Take any color cardstock or use some of the printed custom papers we have in stock to create the background.

PAZZLES Cuts

Using the pre-cut stacked 2012 die cut we make at the store I made a quick card for a graduate this year.   A sheet of vellum over the top, secured with 4 brads and then the graduation cap.  The graduation cap is also something we cut at the store and we have them done in many school colors or black and white if you want to make it neutral. Need a bunch for invitations??  Give us a little time and we can have a them done for you in the color you need.  Works for college or high school graduation.

ECHO PARK

I love the vintage inspired look of the Echo Park papers we got in at the store a while back.  I haven't gotten to play with them much yet and I am eager to do more.

Materials:
     Paper: Echo Park and My Mind's Eye KRAFT
     Paper Cut cardstock
Twine
Button: Basic Grey
Spellbinders Star Die

A simple card made with some small strips of paper.  Actual leftovers from a couple projects I got to do. A decorative scissor on the edges and an offset star and you are good to go.  Could work with any color and pattern pieces.

My Favorite Things Rainbow Die

So, now that I am doing with the nut project....I can move on to St. Patties Day.  I love my rainbow die from My Favorite Things...and the cloud die is just the right size for the ends of the rainbow.  I even paired a Nestablilites "Tea Cup Die" with it....where?.....the pot o gold of course!!

Materials:
     Paper: Reminisce St Patricks Day line
     Paper Cut and WorldWin cardstocks
Spellbinders: Tea Cup and Labels Trio dies
My Favorite Things "Rainbow" and "Cloud" dies
Hole punch
Stickles "Yellow"
Stamp: Judith "Skinny Mini" Holiday block (4 holidays, one stamp!!)
Ink: Memento "Tuxuedo Black"

Ok, this was fun to make....it it just makes you happy to look at it.  I love a rainbow.  the smallest tea cup in the tea cup set (there are 3 sizes) is perfect for the Pot of Gold here.  A little Stickles on the tiny hole punch circles is all it needs to add a little sparkle to the gold.  The smallest clouds and the sentiment are pop dotted to add dimension.

I love FALL......I'm NUTS about it

Ok, enough with the nuts already right??  Well, this is the last of the nut papers for this week anyway....lol

Materials:
     Paper: McRice Acorn paper
     Bo-Bunny Fall paper
     WorldWin cardstock
     Paper Cut cardstock
Ribbon
Die Cut on the PAZZLES
Stamp: Judith
COPIC markers to color in nut
Staples

When you have the coordinating paper and things together it is hard not to just keep right on going with pages or cards.  Funny thing is, I created the cards first, and then the page.  Either way, the stamp makes a cute addition to the border on top with a simple single color stamping while the colored in one on the ribbon edge makes an impact when paired with the photo mat.

Materials:

Materials:
