Maker's Movement - All Roads Lead You Home

 Hello, my friends!


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

for all my die-cutting on this project.

I've also used:




I have used each of these stamp sets separately on other projects.
This time I have combined all three to make one card.
This was a fun one to make!

Here's my card:


I began by making an A2 tent-fold card base from black cardstock.
I added a turquoise cardstock mat to the card front.
I took the house outline dies from the Welcome Home Stamp and Die Set,
positioned them on the card front,
and ran them through my Crossover II Machine.
Then using black ink, I stamped the map from the Wish You Were Here Stamp set
onto a piece of white cardstock.
I adhered it in place behind the house opening,
 

I then stamped the sentiment from the Wish You Were Here Stamp Set,
along the bottom of the card using black ink.
I also stamped the geo tag onto the map, using turquoise ink.
Then I used the stitching line from the Borders Set Stamp Set,
to outline the house.
Finally, I added a multi-looped bow to the top of the card.



Maker's Movement Products Used:

Other Materials Used:

Meg's Garden - Ephemera Folder

  Hello, my friends!

Today I have a new project share for Meg's Garden!
I'm using one of Meg's newest kits, and it's loaded with beautiful pieces.

My project features:

A Walk in Nature Papers,

and A Walk in Nature Cut & Create.

As many of you know, I love to work with printable files,
and have been using various printable kits for a number of years. 

I usually let the product inspire the project.
 I like to print everything out,
and then fussy cut all the ephemera.
These kits are so loaded that I end up with lots of pages and pieces.

This leads me to today's project.
I have created a fun Ephemera Folder using the A Walk in Nature Collection.

Here's the front of it:


I began by chosing two of the journal pages that displayed the theme of the collection.
This will help me remember which kit it is.
I made my folder base from kraft cardstock.
I distressed all the edges of the journal pages,
and adhered one to the front of the folder,
and one to the back of the folder.
I added a piece of seam binding for a tie closure.
Below is a photo of the back side.
Aren't the papers fabulous?


Here's the folder when it's opened.
Isn't that a lovely display of ephemera?
I added kraft cardstock pockets to my folder.
The pockets were decorated with more paper from the collection.
Then I filled them with journals cards, photos,
and all the fussy cut bits.


I had so much fun putting this folder together!
I think it will be a great way to keep everything together.
I think I might start making them for each printable kit I work with.
It would be fun to see them all lined up on my shelf!


Meg's Garden Product Used:

A Walk in Nature Papers,

and A Walk in Nature Cut & Create.

 Other Materials Used:
Recollections Kraft Cardstock;
Unknown Bias Tape;
Distressing Tool.

Let me know if you're interested in how I made my folder.
I'd be happy to show you more in another post.

Simply Crafty SVGs - Hot Cocoa Bar

 Hello, my friends!


Welcome to a new project share for Simply Crafty SVGs!

This month I'm sharing a really fun 3D gift box!
This is just great for the upcoming season.

I've used:

Hot Cocoa Bar SVG File

The shop sample has been made in a Christmas theme.
To switch things up, I made mine in a Winter theme.
Either way - it's a fabulous file.

Here's mine:


Isn't that cute?
When I was a little girl, I always loved this kind of thing for my Dawn dolls.
Does anyone else remember Dawn dolls?
Never mind a store, all they would need is this Hot Cocoa Bar! lol


I used some fun frosty papers to make my box.
Although it doesn't show in the photo, all the snowflakes have glitter treatment.
To finish it off I added a few snowflakes punched out of glitter paper.


Here you can see the back of the box.
What's this in the photo below?
Do I actually have something in my box?
After sharing so MANY empty boxes, I thought I would switch things up! lol
Here you can see my last package of my favorite After Eight hot chocolate.
It fits perfectly!


Wouldn't that make a fun gift? 
It holds quite a few hot chocolate packets.
Or you could fill it with a number of other treats.
You could even switch things up and make it into a coffee bar,
then fill it with some coffee beans!
So many fun ways to use this one!

Meg's Garden - Mint Card

   Hello, my friends!

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

I have created another card using the new Lavender with Mint Collection.

As I said last time, one of my favorite colour combinations is purple with green,
and this collection is just that...and more!

Last time I focused on the "Lavender" and this time I'm focusing on the "Mint"!

 Here's my card layed flat:


Here it is standing up:


The elements of this collection are ideal for an easel card.
The base is made from green cardstock,
and the layers were cut from one of the Lavender with Mint Papers.
I used a couple of layers of the Bracket with Oval Frame Card Cut File,
from My Scrap Chick, to create the card base.


I fussy cut the flowers, butterfly, and ticket sentiment,
I inked all the edges before assembling everything.


To finish it all off, I added a pretty double-looped bow and some pearls.
Although it doesn't show in the photos, 
I went over everything with my sparkle marker,
so it has a really lovely sparkle!

Meg's Garden Products Used:

Other Materials Used:

Recollections Cardstock;
Walnut Stain Distress Ink;

Meg's Garden - Lavender Card

  Hello, my friends!

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

I have created a card using the new Lavender with Mint Collection.

One of my favorite colour combinations is purple with green,
and this collection is just that...and more!

For my first card, I have focused on the purple,
and made a tri-fold card.

Here it is folded flat:


This is what it looks like standing up:


I've shared this file before, and it looks different every single time.
I cut the base from purple cardstock,
then I printed two of the Lavender with Mint Papers, and cut the card panels out.


Each panel is decorated with fussy cut images from the Collection.
The "Les Fleurs" on the front cover is from the Summer Garden Cut and Create.


Although I've made mine as a card,
I think this would make a great journal insert.
With that in mind, I added a belly band to the back panel,
and tucked in the tag from the collection.


The cut file includes an envelope.
I cut it out of purple cardstock, and added this beautiful journal card to the front of it.
I added a fussy cut flower to the back for a flap tuck.


It makes such a pretty set!

Vilda Stamps - What Do You Do...

...When You Live in a Shoe?   

Is that a familiar saying to you?
I've asked a few people and they've never heard of it.
Yet if I ever hear the line "what do you do?"...
in my mind it is immediately followed by "when you live in a shoe?"
I had a little talk about it with my brother recently. 
He's very familiar with it too,
so it's something from our childhood. 

All that being said...

It's time for a new project share for Vilda Stamps,
and I'm thrilled to be sharing this fun Shoe House stamp.

Today I have made a card featuring V219 Stamp Set.
This is an A5 Stamp Set that includes 12 stamps.
I have used two of them on my card.
You'll find the set HERE.
  
Here is my card:


I stamped and coloured two of the images from the stamp set.
I cut a card base from kraft cardstock,
and created a square frame in the front. 
I inserted the image behind it, and did some pen-stitching around it.


I fussy cut the little fellow and added him to the corner of the frame.
Isn't he cute? He obviously lives in the house! ;o)
Here's a closer look:

I've been a big fan of the stamps since I was introduced to them 
while working on a DT in Germany!
The stamps can be purchased from Engstroms Artstudio AB.
They ship all over the world.

Maker's Movement - Happy Harvest

 Hello, my friends!

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

I used my Crossover II Machine for all my die-cutting.
You'll find my review on this machine right HERE.

I've also used:




Here's my card:


This is such a fun stamp set! 
The set includes 13 stamps and covers a variety of seasons/events.
I stamped the truck on teal, kraft, and white cardstock,
and paper pieced it all back together.
I did a little bit of shading with my coloured pencils.


I stamped the "Happy Harvest", cut it out with the die from the set,
and adhered it with foam tape. 
I used a fun Fall foliage stamp from the Hello Fall Stamp Set,
to stamp randomly around the background. 
It's very subtle but adds some nice texture.
You can see it in the photo below.
Finally, I added the truck with foam tape,
and tucked the pumkins in place!

Vilda Stamps - Boy With Dog Card

   Hello, my friends!

Today I have made a card featuring V833 Stamp Set.
This set includes three great stamps:
Boy with Dog, Girl with Bag, and Flowers.
You can find it in the shop HERE.

Here is my card:


I stamped the image and coloured it with alcohol markers.
Then I fussy cut it out.
I adhered the image to the dark brown cardstock.
I die-cut the Fall frame from green cardstock,
and adhered it in place.


It's a nice flat card to mail but looks like it's full of dimension.
Isn't he cute?
He's so much fun to colour!

My Scrap Chick - We Shall Eat Cake

 Hello, my friends!


Today I have a fun new project share for My Scrap Chick!

Today I'm featuring the:



I've combined these two files into a Traveler's Notebook spread.
Here it is:


Doesn't that look delicious? :o)
I don't know about you...but I LIKE cake! lol
So when I came across this cut Word Art Cut file,
I just had to use it!
 

I haven't been baking any big fancy cakes lately.
It would be a bad idea, since we're not having any company these days.
So instead of a photo of a cake I baked, I used the fun clip art file to fill my page. 


I used an appropriate paper for the background,
and then used my Cricut to print/cut the yummies!
To finish it all off I added Stickles in a variety of colors.


My Scrap Chick Files Used:

DCWV The Sweet Stack;
Recollections Cardstock;
Various Stickles;
Cricut Explore Air;
My Travelers's Notebook.
