Altair Arts - On the Wings of the Rainbow Display Stands

 Hello, my friends!

I'm back today with a new project share

 as Brand Ambassador for Altair Art Scrapbooking Papers.

This time I am sharing some projects created with one of the newest release collections.

It's called On the Wings of the Rainbow.

It's a really lovely and versitile collection.

To show you a bit of that versitility...

...I have created two photo display stands.

Although I've used the same collection for both stands, they really have a different style.

The first one is pretty, and a little bit vintage.

The second one is very whimsical.

Here is the first:

The base of the stand is made of white matboard, using a notebook die.

Both the front and back are covered with the pretty floral paper. 

Then I fussy cut a variety of the element: frames, flowers, leaves and butterflies.

Here is a closer look:

I adhered the frames in place leaving an opening at the top.

I saved the oval that I cut from the center of the frame.

I then used it as a template to cut out the sweet vintage image,

and slid it in behind the frame. 

I did the same with the frame on the other side, shown below. 

Thet it was just a matter of adhering all the other bits it place.

To finish it off, I wrapped a ribbon around the center,

and added a pretty double-looped bow.

Here is the back of the stand.

On the left side I added a cluster of fussy cut flowers and leaves.

On the right side I added one of the pretty labels.

Here is the second stand, made from the same collection:

This whimsical version pulls out the fun unicorns and fairies in the collection.

This would be great for a little girls room.

I covered the matboard with this lovely scene paper.

Here I used the same steps for the frame.

Instead of slipping a photo in, I added the cute littel fairy, sitting in place.

On the other side, I simply added a fussy cut sentiment, 

some fussy cut flowers, and a butterfly. 

I didn't wrap the ribbon around this one.

I fussy cut a couple more butterflies instead.

Here's the back side.

I covered it with the rainbow and cloud paper.

On the left side, I added a fussy cut cloud and unicorn.

On the right side, I added the "Dream on..." label.

These projects were so much fun to make,

and the papers are a joy to work with!

Meg's Garden - Library Pocket Journal Insert in Burgundy with Cream

  Hello, my friends!

Today I have a new project share for Meg's Garden!

This is my final project using the new Christmas Collection:

 Burgundy with Cream

...at least for now...

Recently I have been having lots of fun altering some books,
and making some fun new journals.
I'll be sharing that with you in upcoming posts.

Today I am sharing a fun journal insert idea.
I have decorated a library pocket using this pretty collection.

Here it is:

I have used a cut file from My Scrap Chick to make my library pocket and tag.

You can find it right HERE.

Both the pocket and tag were cut from kraft cardstock.

I've collaged the bottom of the pocket with elements from the collection:

a fussy cut Santa image,
a piece of the decorative red paper,

a decorative element strip,

and a piece of the music paper.

To finish off the pocket,

I wrapped the flap with some lovely red jute twine.

Here you can see them side by side.
I fussy cut another Santa, and added him to the side of the tag.
Then I fussy cut the sentiment, and adhered it in place.
The back is left blank for journaling.
Finally, I added more jute twine to the top of the tag. 

This fun library pocket will be inserted into my altered Christmas book project!

Today I have made another card featuring two more stamps

from the V219 Stamp Set.

You can find it in the shop HERE.

Here is my card:

Althought the card appears to have dimension,

it's all flat and easy to mail.

Aren't they cute?

They've been stamped, coloured, and fussy cut.

Then I did some simple die-cutting to frame them.

I had one extra little mouse that was added to the bottom corner.

Meg's Garden - Quick and Easy Cards in Burgundy with Cream Collection

  Hello, my friends!

Today I have a new project share for Meg's Garden!

Again, I'm using the new Christmas Collection:

 Burgundy with Cream

This time I have made a selection of quick and easy Christmas Cards.
They look like so much more because of the beautiful papers.

We all need the option to make pretty cards that are easy to mail too.
So these digital products make them flat and fabulous!

Here are the first two cards:

For these two cards I simply resized two of the papers from the collection.

I distressed the edges with both a tool and ink,

and added them to burgundy cardstock card bases

I wanted you to see a closer look at these beautiful Digital Sentiments.

They are so elegant and the final touch to finish the cards.

You'll find them HERE.

Here are the next two cards:

For these two cards I used the card fronts from the collection. 

I was inspired by the frame around the card on the right to do some embossing.

I placed the piece on my scoreboard and simply followed the lines

with my embossing tool.

I repeated the process for the other card front.

If you look closely you can see it.

Then I adhered the card fronts onto burgundy cardstock bases.

To finish them off, I Stickles to each of them.

On the left, I added a frosty one to each of the snowflakes.

On the right, I added gold glitter to all printed old glitter bits. 

Meg's Garden Product Used:

 Burgundy with Cream

Other Materials Used:
Bazzill Cardstock;
Stickles - Frosted Lace, Gold;
Scoreboard and Tool.

Simply Crafty SVGs - Coffee!!

 Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!
Sadly, this will be my final DT post for SC SVGs!

Sandy has decided to dismantle the DT.

BIG thanks to Sandy for almost 3 years of great fun!

I will happily continue to use these files in my own projects!

Today I am sharing a card that will be near and dear to many of us! ;o)

I've used:

Holiday Coffee Slimline Card File

I had just enough scraps of this paper to put this card together.

They seriously make my mouth water!

Right after I was finished,

I sat down and enjoyed a really good cup of coffee! :o)

 

Here's my card:

Isn't that fun?

The file comes with several variations of decorative elements to add,

along with a variety of sentiments.

There's even a bonus card file included.

The sentiment I used is from my stash, 

and not included in the file.

I don't know if you can tell in the photos but I curled my cup.

The I added two layers of foam tape down just the center of the cup.

There is also a Slimline Envelope file in the shop...

...and it's FREE! 

So I cut one out of lightweight kraft paper,

and added my last strip of coffee bean paper to the top of the flap.

This would be a fabulous set to send to the coffee lover in your life!

   Hello, my friends!

It's my time to share a new project for Vilda Stamps!

Today I have used two stamps from:

V219 Stamp Set.

You can find it in the shop HERE. 

This sweet little girl is all ready for her Christmas party;

in her pretty red dress and shoes.

She even has her party hat on! ;o)

Here is my card:

I stamped and coloured the girl and then bench,

and then fussy cut them out.

I decided to place her in a scene with this fun frame die.

I thought it looked like a place she needed to be,

as she waits for her party to begin.

Maker's Movement - Frosty Fun Shaker Card

 Hello, my friends!

I'm back today to share a really fun project for Maker's Movement! 

I used my wonderful Crossover II Machine for all my die-cutting on this project.

I've also used:

Great Outdoors Die Set,

Christmas is Best With You Stamp Set,

Christmas is Best With You Die Set,

Jingle Bell Shaker Sprinkles,

Clear Acetate Sheets,

and Double-sided Adhesive Craft Foam.

I've used all these products to make a "cool" shaker card! ;o)

Here's my card:

The cardstock I used has a beautiful pearly finish on it - just like snow.

I couldn't get it to show in the photos 

because I was making sure there was no glare on the acetate.

After creating the fun Winter scene,

I stamped and die-cut one cute snowman from the Christmas is Best With You stamp set.

I paper pieced his scarf and hat from cardstock to match the background.

Finally, I added some Enamel Accents to add the fluffy fur to his hat.

To fill my shaker, I used the snowflakes from the Jingle Bell Shaker Srinkles.

I added just a pinch of fake snow to the mix.

For my final photo I gave it a good shake,

so you can see the full effect! :o)

This was LOTS of fun to put together!

I had fun positioning them in place.

Meg's Garden - Christmas Gift Tags in Burgundy with Cream

  Hello, my friends!

Today I have a new project share for Meg's Garden!

This is my first project share using the new Christmas Collection:

 Burgundy with Cream

  I have made an assortment of Christmas gift tags:

Aren't they pretty?

This is such a beautiful collection of papers and elements!

The tag base in the top center of the photo, is one of the printable elements.

I simply cut it out, and layered a Santa image on top of it. 

This collection has lovely touches of gold throughout.

To bring out the gold, I have added a layer of Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.
To finish the tags off, I punched a hole and added a piece of gold cording.

They've all been left blank on the back,

offering a place to add names and messages.

Below is my favorite image! 

The finished tag measures 4"x 4".

That will give you a good idea of the size of all in the photo. 

Any of these tags would certainly dress up a Christmas gift!

Simply Crafty SVGs - JOY Gift Box

 Hello, my friends!

Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing another great gift box!

I've used the:

Joy Gift Box SVG File

It was the title of this box that attracted me.

How could I not want to make a JOY gift box?

Sandy has two wonderful samples posted in the shop;

one is Christmas themed and one is Winter themed.

I thought I would give you another creative option.

Here's my version:

As you can see, I've combined Christmas with Winter,

and added a stamped panel rather than the JOY cut panel.

I used pretty shimmer cardstock, added some big red rhinestones,

and finished it off with a big glittery bow.

The lid of this box is such a great shape!

The box base is a wonderful size to fill with some goodies!

When you look at all these great cut files,

think about how you can incorporate your other craft supplies,

like stamps, stencils and such.

It's all so much fun!

File from Simply Crafty SVGs:

Other Materials Used:

DCWV Handpainted Christmas Stack;
