Fall Colors

Hey there! Happy Sunday!
I played along with Creative Embellishments November challenge. I used PhotoPlay Autumn Day for this fun fall layout of our drive to see the colors:

I used watercolors to create my background. I colored the leaves with a few different mists. On the "Ravishing" chipboard piece, I used a yellow and red Gelato. I put the yellow on the top and red on the bottom. Then using water on my finger, I blended them:

I fussy cut the trees, foxes and word "fall" from a few papers. I added some enamel dots from AC:

Here's the mood board:

I love how this layout turned out!

Thanks for stopping and have a great day!

Birthday Card for Dies R Us

Hello!
I am back to share a birthday card I have up on the Dies R Us Blog today.
I used Fancy Pants Life Is Beautiful 6x6 paper pad for this card along with the Heart Frame die from Cheapo Dies and the Happy Birthday die from Card Deco and the Best Glue Ever:

I would love if you went to the DRU blog and checked out my post!

A Christmas Card

Hey there Scrappy Friends!
I am excited to be back with Whisker Graphics for another term!
I am up on the Whisker Graphics Blog today sharing a fun twine tree Christmas card.

I started with a white piece of cardstock cut to fit my card base. I used a ruler to add some pencil lines- short line at the top and the longest line at the bottom. Then I used a stick pin to poke holes at the ends of the lines:

I took Green Solid Divine Twine and divided the strand into 2 pieces:

Then I hand stitched each line. When I was finished stitching the lines with the green, I used the Divine Twine Metallic Gold to stitch around the tree: 

I finished the card up by fussy cutting a bird from the Petite Stickies and popping it up on foam. I also added a sentiment sticker and some sequins.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Under The Stars

Hello!
I am sharing a card I created for the new challenge at Cards In Envy- Fire or rain. The challenge is to create a card featuring fire or rain. I created a camping card for a friend with a campfire on it:

I used Simple Stories Under the Stars for this card. 

Hope you find some time and play along with us!

Vegas Baby!

Hello and happy Sunday!
I am sharing a layout I created for the Sunday sketch at Creative Inspiration. I used photos from Spring Break a few years ago along with Simple Stories You Are Here for this fun vacation page:

I added watercolor to my background. Then a strip of orange patterned paper and added some machine stitching. For my title I used Thickers. I added a small cluster of embellies to the lower portion of my layout:

I added some fussy cut pieces along with a few Simple Stories stickers to the right of the photo:

Under my photos, I added a chipboard frame, cut in 2 pieces so I had a piece for each photo. I also added a few papers and an acetate . Here I added a fussy cut camera and another heart sticker along with a fussy cut flower. Fussy cutting things from patterned paper make fun and cheap embellies!

Here is Bev's sketch:

This was such a fun sketch to work with! If you play along with it, be sure to share your layout over on the CI message board.

Thanks for stopping and have a great day!

Maiden Voyage

Hey there!
I have my 3rd post up at Dies R Us today!
We got a new camper in June and I am finally getting around to scrap the maiden voyage of it!
I love using dies on my scrapbook pages but don't have a lot of them and turning on my Cameo is too much work, lol! Plus it's too noisy to use when the guys are sleeping since I usually scrap in the early mornings.
Anywho, I used a few dies from Dies R Us on this layout along with BoBunny Take A Hike 6x6 paper pad:

I used Lawn Fawn stamps and dies to stamp the camper and  teal colored trees:

I used the Christmas Tree Square die from Frantic Stamper for my trees. I backed them with patterned paper using The Best Glue Ever.

Here's a side view:

I love all the texture I got from these dies!

Head on over to the Dies R Us blog and tell them I sent you.

Amazing

Hey there Scrappy Friends!
Today I am sharing my take on case file #265 over at CSI. I used a Hip Kit Club cut file and cut it out on black cardstock for this layout:

I added watercolor to my background. I machine stitched around the letters of the cut file using gold thread and backed them with papers from Pink Fresh and Bella Blvd. I love how this came out! I added a gold acrylic arrow from Becky Higgins:

I added a few papers under my photo along with a Crate Paper chipboard frame.  The scalloped border was created by placing washi tape on cardstock and then I used a scallop punch. I added some gold Thicker hearts, a few word stickers from Pretty Little Studios, a few Crate Paper rub-ons and some enamel circles from PinkFresh:

Here's a close up of that cut file:

Here's the case file:

I love how my layout came out!

Hope you will play along with us! There are lots of awesome prizes up for grabs!

  

One More...

I have another card to share...
I used Recollections 6x6 paper pad and a sketch from the WCMD Crop at Sketch-N-Scrap for this one:

I used vellum for the top and a few different patterned papers on the bottom. I fussy cut the tag and snowflakes:

Here's the sketch:

As always, thanks for dropping by!

Another Card

So Happy Together

Hey there!
I have a layout and tutorial up on the ScraPerfect Blog today.
Here is my layout:

For this layout, I used Transfer Foil, The Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Writing Cap attached, and The Perfect Crafting Pouch along with Crate Paper Love Notes collection.

I have had this XOXO banner sitting on my desk that I cut from my Cameo on white cardstock. I had planned on using it for another layout but didn't. So I decided to use it for this page of my hubby and I. I added Transfer Foil to it:

I added a thin layer of The Best Glue Ever using a paint brush. After I had it covered, I moved it to another piece of paper just so that it wouldn't stick to the one I had glue all over:

I let it dry for about 10-15 minutes:

Once it dried to a clear finish, this stage it is tacky, I placed the Transfer Foil on top, with the color side up and used my fingers to rub over the diecut:

After you have rubbed it, peal away the foil and this is the result. Since I used a textured cardstock, I don't have complete coverage. This is the result I was going for:

Finally, I rubbed the Perfect Crafting Pouch over the front of my banner to get rid of any stickiness the glue may have left:

I decided I needed a few foiled hearts for my page, so I started the above process on 3 diecut hearts:

Here are a few close ups of my layout:

See those gorgeous foiled hearts? I love them!

and check out that pretty shiny banner! Love that too!

The next time you have some scrappy time, try foiling your diecuts. The end results are fabulous!
