Baby Card Mojo

Do you need a baby card? For this card I used two stamp sets; Something for Baby and B.Y.O.P (Buy Your Own Present).

I used a Mojo Monday Sketch for the layout.

The paper is from the Lullaby Designer Series Paper pack. I stamped diaper pins on the circle background and then added button holes to the circles with my white chalk marker.

The onesie is heat embossed with white embossing powder.

On the inside of the card I added a little pocket to hold a gift card and stamped the coordinating greeting. 

Friendly Wishes Pocket Card

 I'm still having fun with the papers that are in the Spring Occasions catalog. Here I used them with one of the stamp sets that are in the new catalog which goes live on June 2nd. The stamp set is Friendly Wishes.

The paper is Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper. It was such a pretty paper set that it is already sold out!

I used the new Treat Bag thinlit die to cut out the little bag that the card slips into.

I am anxious to get some new papers to make some projects with, but for now I have several cards that I am going to share and they are mostly created with retiring products. I know that many of you have a bunch of the papers and stamp sets though, so you can still make them. If you don't have the same papers and stamp sets, then you can use the ideas in new and creative ways! That's what I like about crafting, there are as many ways to recreate an idea as there are people to create them.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a blessed day,
Trude

3D Project- CD Box

Here's a new one for me. The original box was created by using a CD as a template to draw around. I switched it up by using the largest die in the Stampin' Up! Circle Collection framelits set.

The products are all retired or retiring except the Lost Lagoon card stock. 

This project goes together quite quickly. Cut two circles from Designer Series Paper. Fold a circle in half BUT DON'T CREASE IT DOWN THE MIDDLE, just make a tiny crease on the fold at each side. Now fold the circle the opposite direction so that the tiny creases match and make tiny creases on each side of the circle on the 'fold'. Do that to both paper circles.

Now place a CD on the edge of one of the paper circles so that it touches 2 of the tiny creases 90 degrees from each other. Use a stylus or bone folder to trace the edge of the CD onto the paper. Repeat 3 more times on this piece and 4 times on the other paper circle. 

Crease each circle on the scored lines. I used small glue dots at the very corners of the box bottom but did not use glue dots on the box top. 

Tie a ribbon around the box. I used a glue dot to attach it to the backside of the box to make it easier to tie. Create flower with flower die. Use it to decorate the box top.

There you go! Quick and easy box for small treats.

Friendly Wishes Card

This weekend is Memorial Day so it is a good time for an encouragement card that includes some red, white, and blue.

This card is created with the Maritime Designer Series Paper pack, one of my favorites, and a stamp set that is in the new Stampin' Up! catalog, Friendly Wishes.

I will miss this paper pack, but there is still time to purchase it until June 2nd. I already have an extra pack put away for scrapbook pages.

This card will work for a Father's Day card as well as an encouragement card. You could even put a birthday greeting inside. It is versatile.

I used the circle collection framelits and for the mats I drew around the outside edge of the framelit and cut them out by hand. I used the star framelit set to cut the stars from glimmer papers. The ink is Night of Navy.

I used a Mojo Monday sketch from November 2010. You can check out all their sketches at mojomonday.blogspot.com. They have an archive with 100s of sketches.

Have a blessed day!

Guy Greeting Cards- 3 of 3

This is the third greeting card that I made with the Guy Greeting card stamp set. This set has many stamps and I'm sure that it won't be the last card that I make with it.

  I haven't created cards that feature the wrenches or the hats. There are so many good sentiments with this set. I'm glad that is will still be available when the new catalog comes out. Sometimes there aren't enough masculine greetings.

I used the Maritime Designer Series paper pack for the papers on this card. I like these papers and I will miss them. There isn't anything like them in the new catalog, but you can still get these papers until they're sold out.

This is another Mojo Monday sketch. Have you tried Mojo Monday sketches yet?

Guy Greeting Cards- 2 of 3

Here's my second card that I created with the Guy Greetings stamp set.

I again used paper from the Adventure Bound paper stack that is in the Stampin' Up! Spring Occasions catalog. There's still time to get it...catalog goes through the 2nd of June.

I used brushed silver paper for the star. Naturals Ivory paper to stamp the greeting and man on (Naturals are being retired so stock up now! I love that paper). I used Smoky Slate to stamp the background images and Basic Gray ink for the greeting and man.

The layout is a Mojo Monday sketch. I love having the layout already created and just plugging in the stamps and paper. They have a great archive that goes back to 2010, so lots of sketches to choose from.

Have a blessed day,
Trude

Guy Greeting cards- 1 of 3

I think this is the most recent acquisition of mine. It is the Guy Greetings stamp set that is in the Stampin' Up! spring Occasions catalog and is also going to be in the new 2015/2016 annual catalog when it comes out.

I sat down and created 3 cards from the stamp set. I used Mojo Monday sketches for layout ideas.

The inside says, "Happy Birthday to a classic"

The papers are from the Spring Occasions catalog, it is the Adventure Bound paper stack.

Paper Pumpkin Remake #6- Dad Card

Here's the 6th and last remake that I have created so far from the April Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up!

For this version of the pocket tag I used the original pocket and covered the front with Designer Series Paper. I used the original tag card that came with the kit and added a banner stamped with the Choose Happiness banner stamp. The 'Dad' is cut out with the Project Life framelit.

If you would like to have some Paper Pumpkin fun, you can get your kits here!

Paper Pumpkin Amazing Mom Card

Here's April's Paper Pumpkin remake #5

I I was out of town for a week and didn't get this posted. It could be a Mother's Day card or it could be used to show your appreciation for your mother at any time of the year.

This is my 5th remake of Stampin' Up!s April Paper Pumpkin kit.

I used the original tag pocket as a template and cut this one out of Designer Series Paper. I did use the original card from the kit and stamped it with the Painted Petals stamp set. I added matching ribbon and twine. This is a quick and easy card that takes about 10 minutes once you have all the supplies gathered up.

Watch my blog for some blog candy tomorrow!

Have a blessed day,

Blooming With Kindness Thank You Card

Today we are taking another break from April's Paper Pumpkin to check out this Thank You card that I created with retiring In-Color products.

I used the In-Color paper stack, Whisper White and Coastal Cabana card stock. The inks are Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, and Rose Red. I used the 'rock and roll' technique on the flower to add a little of the Rose Red around the edges. There's also Coastal Cabana Thick Baker's twine and Washi tape on this card. 

To do the tearing technique on this card, hold both top edges even when tearing and then move the Whisper White piece down into place and adhere. I also used the masking technique to keep the Gorgeous Grunge splatter from being all over the top of the bloom.

This card goes together fairly quickly and could be used for a card that you need to make multiple of by just changing out the sentiment to whatever sentiment you may need.

Paper Pumpkin Remake # 4

Here's the next fun pocket tag I made with the Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin kit.

For this card I used the pocket tag that came in the kit and then I put Designer Series Paper on the inside back, used Naturals cardstock to recreate the card base and for the tags. Use a piece of Designer Series paper on the card base front. Used some Washi tape on the pocket tag front before I layered the sentiment over the top. 

I used Jet Black Stazon ink and Baked Brown Sugar inks.

The pocket sentiment is from the Adventure Awaits set.
