Inspire, Create, Imagine

I love playing with the "Washi" Tape. The pinwheel or flower on this card and the polk-a-dot border are all done with decorative tape. 

I used We R Memory Keepers Love 2 Craft 6 x 6 paper pack with Black Prismatic & a green Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used My Mind's Eye Indie Chic tape and a BoBunny Hello Sunshine Brad.

I have fallen so in love with decorative tape, that I now have a decent stash of it to go to when I feel the need to tape up a card or scrapbook page.

Trio Snowman Cards

After making the card on my previous post, I had exactly enough scraps to make these three cards. 

I used My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas Merry & Bright and Tinsel two-sided patterned papers with BoBunny Kiwi & Aquamarine Double Dot cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used We R Memory Keepers Red Brads and Stampin' Up Ribbon.

The snowmen were water coloured with CTMH Water Colour Pencil Crayons and CTMH Holiday Red & Lagoon Ink.

I used CTMH's Flakey Friends Stamp Set (these are the 3 different snowmen that come in the stamp set) and Kraftin' Kimmie's Christmas Interior Sentiments Stamp Set.

Oh Sparkly Christmas Tree!

I have been wanting to play with American Crafts Tinsel, but never found the right stamp to use it on until I got this tree stamp. Then I had inspiration for the tinsel.

I used My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas Merry & Bright & Tinsel two-sided patterned papers with Best Creations Olive Green Glitter Paper, Bazzill Intense Kiwi cardstock & Bazzill Grenadine cardstock.

To embellish this card, I used an EK Success Medium Snowflake Punch, Stamping Bella Pink Orchid 5mm Dots & American Crafts Cotton Candy Spark Tinsel with Flower Soft glue. I lightly tapped the tinsel after sprinkling it on the glue to make sure that all the tinsel pieces that were going to stick would stay.

I used CTMH's Holiday Wishes, Fill in the Blank - Holiday and Pear & Partridge Scrapbooking Workshop Stamp Sets with CTMH Topiary Ink.

Don't forget to take advantage of CTMH's Great Promotion this month by placing an order with Shanna this Friday, November 16th.

Oh Christmas Tree!

I have been dying to play with this Close to My Heart Stamp Set for some time now. I had this idea in my head, but just needed to find the time.

Last week, I finally found the time to create the card & made 5 of them for my stash, but then trying to get it up on my blog was another story....but here I am.

I used KaiserCraft's Just Believe Collection: Remember & Hymn two-sided patterned papers with Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH buttons (an old line), CTMH Green Assortment Brads, CTMH Neutral Assortment Baker's Twine, Bazzill rub-ons (Merry Christmas) & embroidery floss from my stash.

I also used a Stampin' Up Border Punch and a Martha Stewart Border Punch for the strips down the side of the card.

The stamp sets I used were, CTMH's Pear & Partridge Scrapbooking Workshop Stamp Set (the tree & the snowflakes on the inside of the card) & Kraftin' Kimmie's Christmas Interior Sentiments Stamp Set with CTMH New England Ivy & Chocolate Ink and Momento Black Ink.

Shanna has a Close to My Heart order going in this Friday, November 16th. There is also a promotion going on that if you purchase the Stamp of the Month for $5.00, you get to pick a stamp set from the catalogue for 50% off!

You can contact Shanna or myself to place an order.

Watch for tomorrow's post to see the another card made with this same tree stamp.

Happy Holidays

I used Bazzill cardstock that I had on hand, so I don't know what their names are except for the Bazzill Kraft cardstock.

To make the tree, I used My Mind's Eye Indie Chic tape. The black line was just drawn freehand. 

The "Happy Holidays" is a Bazzill rub-on and I used Karen Foster brads.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from Kraftin' Kimmie's Christmas Interior Sentiments Stamp Set.

TJ's First Birthday Invite

Yes, it's hard to believe, but TJ turned One on October 29, 2012.

This was the invite that I made for his party.

I used Doodlebug's Snips & Snails paper line with Bazzill Pacific & Intense Kiwi cardstock.

The image on the front of the card was made with the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge and for the number one, I used the Don Juan Cricut Cartridge.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH and Die Cuts with a View yellow brads.

I used CTMH's Party Pennants stamp set with Black Momento ink.

The inside of the card & Book Title Index Card were typed out on my computer. 

Buttercup Flower Card for My Stash #5

For my 5th and final installment of the BoBunny Buttercup Flowers, I used Basic Grey's Picadilly 6 x 6 paper pack with Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used BoBunny's Buttercup Dahlia Flower (new flower package from the other cards), Imaginisce Jasmine's Jewel Brads and My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Pictures Tape. I also used Stampin' Up punches for around the sentiment.

I used Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set with Black Momento ink.
