Practical Scrappers DT Project - Stickers

Hi Everybody!

Todays Practical Scrapper's, Ten Things, Challenge is to find 10 ways to use stickers.  I must first say that I was really impressed by the different ways these talented ladies creatively came up with to use stickers in a project!!  Truly, truly!!

I chose to place my stickers on chipboard and create those fun loving embellies we all like to use so much.  I chose an "H" and "I" letter stickers from K and Company, backed them with chipboard, cut them out and then layered them to create my sentiment and purpose for this card.

I used the Authentique Paper line and inked everything with Studio G pigment ink. I mean everything!  The stickers, the paper, flowers and leaves, butterflies and the inside area to write a note on and I just love the result!

I realized while making this card that I don't really have any "Hi-hey-how you doing cards" and that I need to correct that. Hubs is always looking for a card to give to someone he knows and i always wind up making him a card when he needs it opposed to making a bunch in advance and letting him choose which one he wants to give. So I think with the techniques and ideas the Practical Scappers ladies had I am going to make a stash of these cards.

And there you have it.

So, on that note I will see you all next time and i have some BIG BIG news to share as well.

Later,

Kelli

5 Card Friday - Month 2

Hi Everbody,

This is the second month of my 5 Card Friday.  These cards are created each month so that I will have a total of 60 cards to distribute in December for the Christmas season.  I was playing around with some KandCompany paper that I had and some stickers from another collection to create this first card.  This card is a stretch from my normal style but it is good for me to venture outside my comfort zone.

For the second card i chose to go ultra simple.  The simpler the better.  I saw the Noel stamp and wanted that to be the focus.

Then I found the digital designs of Meljen. They are so super cute and I knew when I saw them I had to use them!!

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 12

Hi

I participated in a card swap over at Scraps of Color.  The theme of the card swap was 'blessings' and the interpretation was up to us.  I loved this swap.  I has a blessings stamp that I have been wanting to use for some time now.  Here is my creation.

I used the Marcella by K&Company blue and ivory pad.  This collection has silver foil on some of the papers and is really beautiful.  You can see some of the foil on the flowers in the pictures.  I added a flourish that I stenciled on and then embellished with dots of DecoArt Twinkles in silver and then added blue silk flowers to the corner.  I'm really pleased with the way these card came out - it's simple but elegant to me.

What I used...
~DecoArt Twinkles
~K&Company Paper
~Rubber Stamp

Thanks for stopping by!!

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 5

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday to you all.   Day 5 of the challenge brings about a card that I need you help with. I love this paper and don't want to cover the scene too much but it needs something more in my opinion.  What do you think; any suggestions?

I did add some twinkles to the snowflakes, the star and the the snow on the ground.   I was thinking a ribbon and a sentiment on the front but not sure what.

So what do you suggest?

What I used:

-K&Company Mat pad
-Recollections card stock
-DecoArt Twinkles

Until tomorrow...

Pumpkin Pumpkin Card

Hi Guys/Gals,


I am still in the happiest of moods from the awesome news of my Hub's eyesight on Monday.  I am soooo amazed at the things God does all the time.


Today I have a card to share with you.  My sister Cynthia is a fantastic and gifted artist and she painted a picture of pumpkins in a crate.  I have fallen in love with this piece and had to use the picture.  I am sending this to her as a surprise.  I am going to attach a note to it but I will leave the inside blank so that if she wants to send it out to someone else she can.  SO, here it is...

I created this card to showcase her beautiful talent.  I pray I did it some justice and she likes the card.  Be sure to check out her blog and all her work at http://cynthiaps23.blogspot.com/.  Tell her that I sent you over.


As for what I used to make the card:
-Recollections brown and ivory card stock: Neutral pack
-Recollections Adhesive Faux Pearls: code: 174991
-Fall festive sprig from Michael's 
-Offray ivory ribbon
-Orange paper is from K&Company: Tim Coffey Designer Mat Pad - Fall Mat Pad, code: 30-139244

The Last of the Brown Bag Minis

Hi Everybody, Happy Thursday!

Okay, so I know I have made quite a few of these Brown Bag Greeting card mini albums but I promise this will be my last one for awhile.  I made this one using the Angelica Paper Pad by Marcella for K&Company.  I love how vibrant these colors are.  This mini can fit 11+ photos and/or journaling spots.

 I used some flat back bling and antique lace.  The flower is a die cut flower from the collection.  I added three tags for photos/journaling spots.  They measure 4 1/4"x5".

These three large mats measure 5 1/8"x6".

I love the back of this album.  I turned the entire back into a pocket for more photos, journal tags, mementos, you name it.

So here it is.  My last brown bag mini for a while.  I really pray you have enjoyed seeing them as much as I have making them.  

So until the next blog... Find a way to make lemonade with life's lemons.

Brown Bag Greeting Card Mini Album #2

Happy Tuesday to you!!!

Okay, so I am loving these Brown Bag Card Mini Albums!! I so hope you are not getting tired of seeing them.  I am just having so much fun making them.  I think I am almost addicted to them.  

So, you may recall me using this K&Company paper in a project not too long ago but I think it is sooo pretty.  This album holds a combination of 12 photos and/or journaling spots.  

I used an Autumn Leaves journaling stamp, Studio G blue pigment ink around all the edges, flat back pearls I bought in bulk from Ebay, Decoart Twinkles on the ribbon, silk flowers I picked up from Michael's, K&Company Blue & Cream Paper Pad, flat back gems from Nicole crafts, silver brads - I can't remember whose they are, and the Cricut Home Decor cartridge for the frame on the front of the card.  I plan on stamping "Thank You" in the circle frame, but that is all that remains to be done.

Thank you all for stopping by and sharing your time with me!!!!  I am grateful to you all.

So until the next blog... Keep smiling    : D
