Thinking of You

I recently made a scrapbook layout using papers from the Jen Hadfield Home + Made paper collection.  I love the color combinations in this collection and did not have the heart to throw away the scraps of paper.  So I gathered up some Distress Oxide inks in coordinating colors and a couple of flower layering stamp sets from Hampton Art.




I used Scattered Straw and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks for the bases of the flowers.  I stamped the flower details with Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral.  For the green leaves, I used Cracked Pistachio and added the details with Evergreen Bough.  I stamped the remaining foliage and small leaves using Weathered Wood.  I also used Weathered Wood to stamp the centers of the large pink flower and one of the smaller yellow flowers.  All stamped images were cut with my Brother ScanNCut.


I adhered a piece of flower patterned paper to the bottom of the card base and a piece of green arrow paper to the top. I used a strip of black and white polka dot paper across the middle.  Then, I used a circle cutter to cut a 4" circle from white cardstock and cut that circle in half.  I adhered the semicircle to the top half of the card.


I arranged the cut flowers and the foliage to the top left of the semicircle, popping up the large pink flower with foam tape.  I added pink rhinestones to the centers of the smaller flowers.  The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed in white on silver cardstock. And for the final touch, I used a strip of foam tape to glue the sentiment above the black and white polka dot strip of paper.


I was able to create four cards using the scraps of paper from my previous scrapbook layout.  A fantastic two for one deal using a beautiful paper collection!

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...

Hello Spring 2022

I love making spring cards.  I get so excited to mix and match the many die sets I have accumulated throughout the year.  Today's cards feature die cut shapes from a variety of die sets.  I created both a vertical and horizontal card layout, changing out the focal image on each of the cards. I started by cutting one of the Sizzix Creative Background dies from the side of a white card panel.  I trimmed a little off each edge and layered it onto a pink cardstock panel.  I cut some grass from light green cardstock using the the grass die from the Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die of the Month Set.  Using the same die set, I cut the sentiment "Hello Spring" from lavender cardstock. You can't have a spring card without lots of flowers, so I scavenged through my scraps of paper to find colors that would coordinate well together.  I used multiple Sizzix Thinlits die sets to cut flowers, foliage, and branches from the scraps of colored cardstock.  I also ...

#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...
