Triple Slider Card

Our latest project in our Saturday Night Crafters group was a Triple Slider Card.

I used Crafter’s Companion Sara Signature Vintage Lace patterned paper as the main focal point on the outside of my slider card. I stamped sentiments and added some blooms from Crafter’s Companion Spring Wreath Stamp. I added some Moonshine Confetti from Simon Says Stamp to finish off the project.

You can replay the craft along in our Facebook Group Saturday Night Crafters. 

Saturday Night Crafters Card Challenge Triple Easel Card 4-18-2020

Hello all! I am back. While the world is on pause and I am trying to stay safe at home, I thought it would be a great time to restart my blog. 

I made this quick and easy Triple Easel Card during our Saturday Night Crafters Facebook Live event this week. 

I have been using my time at home in safe mode to organize my craftroom since it also doubles as my home office for the immediate future. Going through all of my supplies has been a fun adventure. I am discovering all my old supplies and trying to do something crafty everyday. 

Craig Laird Crafters Companion has a 50 Shades of Saturday challenge this week to make a card featuring the color purple. This was right up my alley since purple is one of my favorite colors. I spotlighted one of my favorite papers from the Crafter’s Companion Sara Signature Vintage Lace Paper pack. I inked the edges of the paper with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for an even more vintage look. I matted the card layers on Crafter’s Companion Kraft card using white layers.

I embellished the easel card with sentiments and images from Stampin’ Up!’s retired Apothecary Art and Great Friend stamp sets and embossed in Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold embossing powder. I used Labels Collection Framelits to mat the stamped sentiments and embossed the gold butterfly from SU! Great Friend stamp set. I used the On Your Birthday stamp from Crafter’s Companion’s subscription box 11 and pearls from subscription box 23.

Merry Christmas

 

Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!

Mixed Media Fun

I decided to do a little playing with mixed media today.  I sat down with some supplies I knew I wanted to play with.  Namely Gelatos, stencil and embossing paste.   My intention was to make a pocket scrapbooking journaling card.  I made a cute one...however I had even more fun with my practice sheet.  I liked it so much I made it into a card.  

Here are the supplies I started with:

Here is the card I ended up with:

Supplies: Lulu Lavender Fireworks, Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink, Golden Gel Medium Light Molding Paste, Faber Castel Gelatos, Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling Card die, Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock, Queen & Co Rhinestones, MME Washi Tape, Three Ring Circus Sentiment stamp, Some Odd Girl Sentiment Stamp, Heidi Swapp Spray Stencil

WOYWW

I am excited to participate in What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday this week.  I can happily say, not much is on my desk.  Finally, thanks to my Dad and my new Raskog cart, it is all clean.   It is organized and ready for a brand spanking new project.  

Here is the super scary before pic:

AACCKKK!!!  It should not be hard to imagine why I haven't made anything lately.  LOL.  But that is all about to change.  Be back soon with some Halloween cards to share.

Getting Organized!

I am still working on getting my MoJo back.  I think half of crafting is organization.  If your space is a big mess, it isn't really conducive to creating.    Got new goodies?  Where do you store them?  Making a project....where do you put everything? I have some much stuff piled onto my workspace that I have no where to make anything.   I had a blast two weeks ago at Scrapbook Expo. I got a ton of great new things, but where do I put all my new things?  

Enter IKEA and the Raskog cart.  My Dad was nice enough to get me one and I love it.  I feel like it is the perfect storage solution for Project Life. I have a ton of stuff in mine already and it is perfect because it is mobile.  Notice it is right in front of the closet.  I can just roll it out of the way when I need to open the closet doors.  

Below are some of the new fun things I picked up at the Expo.  

Here is how I decided to organize all that great stuff into my Raskog cart. 
The top shelf of my cart holds some basic tools like a glue runner, corner rounder, xyron sticker maker,  ink pad, stamp block and pens.  

On the middle shelf I have two inserts.  On the bottom are my Gelatos, Tools, Masks, and Washi tapes.  Above that are my journal cards and Copic journals.  In the back I have Thickers and some card stock.  

At the bottom I have more Washi, clear stamps, stickers, 6x6 paper pads, and a ton of Glitz Design goodies.

Took some fun classes at Scrapbook Expo too.  One was a mixed media class with the Rubber Cafe.  It was all about using Gelatos.  

  

I'm Back! with a scrapbooking project to share

I'm Back!  I have not been crafting for a while now.  Managing my IBS has kept me pretty busy for months.  I am happy to report I am doing much better and have gotten back to having some free time to do some papercrafting.  In honor of Virtual Scrap Book Night over on Splitcoast Stampers... here is a scrapbook a friend asked me to make for her coworker who is expecting.

Got Washi and Copic Color Matches for Basic Grey Soleil

I am loving the Basic Grey Soleil collection of papers!  These are all my favorite colors.  I thought it would be cute to color up Saturated Canary image Washi Tape Kinda Girl and pair it up with this cute paper.  I threw in some assorted washi tape from my collection and broke out my Spellbinders Nestabilities Card Creator A2 Dies to make the layers nice and straight.  I can honestly say that did not miss measuring on the paper cutter, not one little bit.  I used a Lil Inkers die to cut out the background on the sentiment and a random heart sticker.

Hugs and Kisses and Copic Matches for Carta Bella Devoted

Happy February!

I can't believe we are well into the second month of the year already.  I do so love making cards in February.  Valentine's Cards are so fun and easy to make. 

I have not been making very many cards lately as I prefer to use digi images.  When I got my new state of the art HP Envy All In One printer I quickly realized that it was no good for printing digis because the ink would make a smeary mess when I colored with my Copics.  Two weeks back I saw an ad in the Walgreens circular for a Cannon Pixma IP2702 (no frills) printer for only $19.99.  I couldn't believe how low that price was so I went to the store and decided to buy it.  Well that super cheap printer comes with ink that is compatible with Copics. I have to manually force the cardstock to get it to feed through but once you hold it, it will grip the cardstock and it feed straight through.   I was so happy I took a chance on it. I now refer to it as my Digiprinter!

I had a ball over the weekend coloring up this cutie from Saturated Canary. Hope you like her!
