Let It SNOW!

Today's layout is brought to you by the freshly fallen snow that fell last weekend.  My daughter took some beautiful photos and I couldn't wait to scrapbook them. 


 The inspiration for this layout began with a pile of 3-D embossed holographic snowflakes.  I made these using the Tim Holtz Snowflake 3-D Impresslits.  Next, I looked through my stash to find paper that would coordinate with the snowflakes.  I decided upon the DCWV Cranberry Christmas Premium paper pad.

I gutted the inside of the red and white snowflake paper and adhered the one-inch frame of this paper to a 12x12 piece of white cardstock.  I cut one-half inch off each side of the gray reindeer paper and centered this paper on top of the red and white snowflake paper.  

I had two large scraps of paper that I cut into banners and layered them on top of each other.  I matted the photo using the same gray and white polka dot paper used for one of the banners.  I adhered the photo to the upper left corner of the layout.  The paper pad had a beautiful cut-apart piece that had a border of small silver snowflakes at the top and bottom.  I used the top border of this cut-apart piece and cut the white "Let It" part of the title using a small script alphabet die set.  I adhered this part of the title to the cut-apart piece.  I used a larger script alphabet die set to cut "SNOW" from the white and red snowflake paper and adhered this vertically down the white and gray polka-dotted banner.


I die cut a small tag out of the white and gray polka dot paper and added silver twine.  I added my journaling to the tag and added it underneath the photo.  I finalized the layout by popping up three of the large holographic embossed snowflakes in a triangular pattern near the photo, tag, and title.


The snow melted quickly, but the simplicity of the design allowed for the layout to easily come together to preserve this beautiful moment.

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...

Glimmer Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Today's cards are part of my stash-busting series.  This is where I look around my craft room and grab a bunch of supplies that I haven't yet had the chance to use.  The results yielded two glimmer hot foiled birthday cards. I used the smooshing technique to apply Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto white card panels.  After the panels were dry, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System along with the Scattered Flowers and Diamonetta Background Glimmer plates to add Aura Glimmer Hot foil to the card panels.   The card panels were mounted onto pink cardstock.  I used the same Aura foil to glimmer the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white cardstock.   I cut the sentiment using a Momenta nesting border die.  I used a slightly larger border die to cut a sentiment border from the pink cardstock.  I cut pink and yellow flowers using the Sizzix Spring Things die set.  I ran the flowers and sentiment border through t...

Spellbinders Club Kit Valentine's Day Cards

Today's cards feature the Spellbinders January Small Die of the Month and the Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kits.  I couldn't wait to combine these two kits to create some Valentine cards. I used the dies from the Small Die of the Month kit to cut several pieces from pink and white cardstock as well as red and gold foil cardstock.  I used the Glimmer Hot Foil sentiment glimmer plates to glimmer several sentiments in red and gold foil onto white cardstock.  For each card, I glued the decorative frame to a white card base.  I added the smaller die cut panel to the decorative frame. For the shaker cards, I die cut the large frame out of white cardstock and trimmed off the decorative edges.  I adhered one of the smaller foil die-cut panels to this piece.  I trimmed down the edges some more leaving a small border around the inner panel.  I used the included heart die-cut to cut out a heart from the center of this white cardstock panel just inside the heart that was...
