A Joyful Christmas Snow Globe

This layout was completely inspired by @cityscrapper's "Twinkle Bright" snow globe scrapbook layout. I have linked her video tutorial in the supply list. I never thought to create a shaker card on a scrapbook layout before so I thought I would give it a try.

I found an old SEI NOEL paper collection in my stash that I knew would be perfect for this layout. I used the Winter Chill glitter accent page as my background. To create the snow globe, I used my EQ Success Curvy Cutter to cut a large circle out of the Iced Ornaments paper to serve as the background for the snow globe. I also cut a circular piece of acetate and a circular silver foil frame to adhere to the acetate. For the snow globe base, I cut a piece of wood-grained paper and backed it on silver foil cardstock. I glued the photo to the center of the snowglobe and embellished it with a snowflake sticker from the paper pack. I customized several colors of sequence for the inside of the snow globe, include some snowflake sequence. I used foam strips to adhere the acetate to the front of the snowglobe. I used craft foam to adhere the snow globe base to the background paper.

To embellish the layout, I cut pine needles from my Cricut machine and used VersaMark ink to emboss them with sparkle embossing powder. I made an arch of pine needles at the top. I also placed a few sprigs on the base of the snowglobe. I fussy cut some ornaments from the Iced Ornaments paper. I cut ornament hangers from silver foil cardstock and attached these to the ornaments so that they would hang from the pine needles. I popped some of the ornaments up using craft foam, while others were glued directly to the background page.

I used a few more glitter stickers from the paper pack to embellish around the snow globe. The date was die cut using Tim Holtz's Circle Words Christmas Thinlits. I backed the date onto the Chilled Berries paper and glued it to the snow globe base.

I absolutely love the look of this layout. I really enjoyed combining the use of this paper pack with the Tim Holtz dies. A special thank you to @cityscrapper for the inspiration.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One, a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday. I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors. I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper. I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space. I backed the black card panel with th...

Hero Arts Citrus Cards

Today I had fun playing with the Hero Arts Fresh Citrus Bold Prints background stamp and the Hero Arts Zest Wishes Stamp Set to create these fun and fresh set of cards. I started by creating the backgrounds. I used white cardstock and stamped it with the background stamp using VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed the panels with white embossing powder. Then, I used a foam blending tool and blended Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to ink the card panels. For some panels, I used only one ink and other panels I used a combination of all the inks. I cut the inked backgrounds down to 4" x 5.25" and matte each panel on a black card base. For one card, I used the excess strips from when I cut down the inked panels, and adhered these strips to a black card panel, leaving a little of the black background showing in between each of the strips. I stamped all the citrus fruits, leaves, flowers, and branches on w...

College Life

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 5. I decided to focus the layout on my daughter's college move-in day. The Scraptember challenge for this layout was to use a themed collection for a non-themed layout. I used the B-sides of the papers from the Echo Park A Boy's Life collection. I started by printing three 4x4 photos and backed these in gray cardstock. I cut an 8x10 piece of blue and white striped paper, inked the edges with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink, and backed it in navy blue cardstock. The large banner piece measured 3.5x11. I inked the edges of this strip and backed it in gray cardstock. The smaller plaid horizontal strip measured 2x11. I ripped both of the shorter edges of this strip, inked the edges, and backed it with navy blue cardstock. All these items were layered on top of creme grid paper which was also inked with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink. To...
