Creations Galore Gal, Dory Skenadore: Native American Inspired Cards

We're so happy to spotlight Creations Galore customer, Dory Skenadore. Dory always has a great project to share with us, and today she brings two more!

Dory loves to make cards and was recently on a search for Native American themed stamps and paper. We love how she incorporated her heritage and executed this style so wonderfully into paper crafting! 

For the card above, Dory stamped the buffalo image with brown ink and clear embossed over the top. She also inked the edges to create a distressed look.

For her second card, Dory stamped the horse image on two different papers, cut them out, and adhered them to the card front. The patterned horse was attached with foam risers. We love the dimension! Doesn't it look like the horses are about to run off the card?

Dory added some additional elements that we were just blown away with creatively! Rather than tying a bow or simple knot, Dory added beads to the ends of her ribbon! I can't wait to give this idea a try. 

The background paper was actually a light blue piece of paper. She then took a patterned stamp and stamped it repeatedly down the cardstock with a darker blue ink. To give the illusion of a rug, she cut the edges of one side and let them fly loose. 

Thank you Dory for sharing your cards. We hope you're as inspired by her creations as we were!

We love to share the spotlight with our customers! If you would like to be a guest designer, stop into Creations Galore with your project or send an email to nicolelaha{at}gmail{dot}com. You can also share your projects instantly on our Facebook page! 

Layout Tuesday: I Love You

Hello crafters! It's time for Layout Tuesday here on the blog where we bring you a new layout each week! Today we have a fun page Nicole created with the Secret Crush Collection from Pink Paislee:

I was super excited to work with this collection. It would be great for weddings, a girl's night out, that first kiss, and so many other girly, fun, love-filled moments! I pulled together a few photos and this great sketch from Practical Scrappers. 

I really wanted the focus of the layout to be this adorable smile. The Photograms are perfect for highlighting page elements. 

To pull out the red in the photos, I added some trims from BoBunny's Crush collection. The leather and lace trims added additional texture to the layout. All of the other paper embellishments were a part of the Paper Goods pack. The small hearts replaced the snowflakes in the sketch perfectly!

I have a habit of inking the edges of, outlining, or adding faux stitching to my page elements. In this case, I outlined the pieces with a ZIG Writer after adhering it to the page. Do you ink or doodle on your layouts?

Thanks for stopping by the blog today... You can find the Secret Crush Collection in our online store or at the shop, 3164 Coronet Way in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee (First Kiss, Endless Love, Heartbeat, Polka Dance)
Embellishments: Pink Paislee (Secret Crush Paper Goods, Secret Crush Photograms)
