Christmas Notecards for Lavender Blu Journals

  Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a fun new project for Lavender Blu Journals!

I have made a set of eight Christmas Notecards,
using only two listings from the shop.

I fell in love with the gorgeous Christmas Toile Digital Paper Pack.
There are 16 pages in the kit, and they're all beautiful.

All the sentiments used came from the wonderful Christmas Labels and Fussy Cuts Pack.
It's a full page of images - in seven different colour options.

Here's a closer look at the cards:

These would also make great tags or gift enclosures!
The variety of images and sentiments combine for multiple creative options!

Card Series Part 1 for Crafty Critta

  Hello, my friends! 

I'm back with a new Crafty Critta post!
I'm using some of the wonderful newer products in the shop too.

Over the next several weeks I will be sharing a number of new cards with you. 
I will be sharing them two at a time, with all the product links listed below.

If you have watched my foiling video,
then you know that I can create 2 cards with each piece of foil.
The first pass through my Your Best Mate Machine adheres the foil to the Art Foil Design.
The second pass adheres the relief of the foil to the Toner Sheet I use.
This is the process I have used to create my first two cards. 

Here is the first:

The first cards are created using some of the fabulous new space themed products.
The background papers are stunning double-sided galaxy images. 
One of the pages includes all the fun fussy cut images.

They coordinate with the wonderful space themed toner art.
For this card I used this cosmic swirl toner image.
I ran in through my Your Best Mate Machine, and the foil adhered to the swirl. 

Here is the second card:

On this card the foiling is the opposite of the previous piece.
I used the leftover foil, and ran it through the machine on a coloured toner sheet. 

I fussy cut more images, and adhered them in place using foam tape.
The sentiments for both cards were foiled using the same foil. 

I think foiling is so much fun!

The products from Crafty Critta make it super easy to make very effective cards!

Crafty Critta Products Used:

Foil Art - T0162 Space;

Foil Art - T0028 Hello Sentiment Pack 2;

Galaxy Paper Pack - PP0041;

World Cardmaking Day with KCS Designs by Kim

 Hello, my friends!

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Today we're celebrating with KCS Designs by Kim!
Everything in the shop is 50% off!

The design team will be sharing some really fun cards with you,
all created with Kim's fabulous digital products!

Here are my cards:

Aren't those owls adorable? 

I had so much fun with this combination of products from the shop.
I printed two of each of the background papers.
From the second print, I fussy cut all the leaves.

The owls were printed and fussy cut.
To adhere them to the page, I used foam tape in the center, and then liquid glue around the edges.

It doesn't show that great in the photo but he's nicely rounded. 

I followed the same process for the second card.

The flair bits were printed and punched out.
They were added with foam tape, and then matted with larger cardstock circles.

Both cards have some wonderful dimension!

House Memory-Dex Box for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a new project for Clear Scraps!
This time I have decorated the House Memory-Dex Box.
I wanted to keep my box very clean and simple, as it will be filled with cards.

Here is the finished box:

Here is how I made it: 

I began by staining all the pieces white.

I then inked the Brick Wall Stencil around the inside edges of the house piece.

Then I stenciled the brick over the entire outside of the house piece. 

 For the grass, I combined two colors of stain. 
This was added to the portion right under the fence, on the outside of each piece.

I repeated this step on the outside of the house piece.

I then grabbed a variety of pretty colors of acrylic paint, along with a stylus.
I added several dip dot flowers in all the "grass" areas.

All that was left was to assemble all the pieces and glue them in place. 

It's very easy to put together and all the pieces fit perfectly.

Since I love to use Scripture verses on my memory-dex cards,
I decided to add a Scripture verse to my box.

I printed this verse out on my computer, die-cut it, and matted it with kraft cardstock.
I adhered this in place on the outside of the house.
Now I can add taller cards to my box, and they won't interfere with this verse.

Here is my finished box filled with several of my Clear Scraps memory-dex cards:

There are LOTS of great memory-dex items in the shop;
both cards, dividers, and boxes!
You can find them all HERE.

Clear Scraps Products Used:

HOME Themed Memory Dex Cards for Clear Scraps

   Hello, my friends!

It's time for a new project for Clear Scraps!
Today I'm sharing three more memory-dex cards, this time with a HOME theme!

Here are the three cards I made: 

I used the House Chip Dividers:

I used  a 6 x 6 paper pad from my stash to cover each card.
I adhered the paper, trimmed it out, and inked the edges.

Here's a closer look at each one:

To this card I added a stamped Scripture verse. 
I also added an inked chipboard heart that came from the
Embellishments Chipboard Punchout Coffee.

To this card I added the inked HOME from the
Embellishments Chipboard Punchout HOME.
I also stamped "Blessed" on each side of the "HOME".

To this card I added a stamped "Give Thanks",
as well as the fishtail banner that continues the verse.

These are such a fun size to work with,
and there is such a great variety of shapes in the shop.
You'll find them all HERE.
