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.

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set. The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing. Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder. I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel. I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint. I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder. I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel. I added a black matte behind this emboss...

#HAILTHESAIL

Today's layout was inspired by Day 1of @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Series 8. Today's triangular sketch was created by Laura Whitaker. The Scraptember challenge for this sketch was stitching. As soon as I saw the triangle on this layout, I knew I wanted to use a sailboat to document my daughter's new student orientation day at her college by the sea. I used my Cricut machine to cut a large sailboat out of a piece of blue whitewashed cardstock. After losing a time-consuming battle with my sewing machine, I was able to get some blue stitches around the edges of the sailboat. I glued the sailboat to the blue star paper from Vicki Boutin's Color Study collection. I used the blue and white striped paper from the Color Study collection to create the large banner. I inked the edges of the banner with Black Soot Distress ink. I matte the banner with a small strip of the black script paper from the 6x8 paper p...

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains. For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water. I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel. I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock. I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock. I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel. I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the...
