Day 10: 30 Days, 30 Cards

It's day 10 of 30 Days, 30 Cards! For today's card, I used Santa's List by Teresa Collins.  I love the red and craft color combo, the polka dot and chevron patterns, and of course the beautiful snowflakes of this holiday collection.

...and today's sketch came from the Studio Calico blog:

I'm all about punching notches into my projects, lately...so when I saw this sketch, I knew that I wanted to use it.

Joy:

That little pocket would be perfect for a gift card. I used one of the envelopes from the Santa's List collection for this, by cutting off the flap before punching in my notch.

The card measurements are 5.5x5.5, which I think is the perfect size for a square card.

Express Kit - October 2013 Teresa Collins Masquerade Party

Welcome again to Express Kit Monday.  This is our last glimpse of the Express Kit for this month and it's so fun to see what our Design Team and Head Office have created for us.  Have you ever wondered how to make a clipboard album?  Or an memo board to put by the phone for the family?  How about a frame of a sweet little someone?  Well as I mentioned last week, you won't be disappointed at what the Design Team has created this week!

This would work by the phone so that you can keep notes for the family.

How about loads of room for photos and journaling...

More pages of the album created by the Head Office

Such fun pockets of storage and journal space.

There is a lot of real estate in this album

Using the kit and the clipboard that came with the kit, I created this Frame of my youngest grandson.  We took him to his first pumpkin patch and with our big family he thought he had a fan club so he waved to everyone!  I also used inks on all the edges and my die-cut machine to enhance the kit.

Clipboard Frame - By Janey Pumphrey 

Here is a little added project.  Do you need a last minute goodie box for your child's classroom?  This is not an original idea, just something I saw on Pinterest.  I used a toilet paper roll and covered it with paper from the kit.  Then I used my die-cut machine to cut out the wings.  I further added the eyes to bring the bat to life.  It was quick and easy and can be done tonight!  I may have to make one for each of the 8 grandkids…lol!  They would love them with a little Halloween Treat inside.

Thank you for joining me this month as we ventured out and created unique projects for your inspiration.  Come back soon to see what other funness the Design Team has in store for you.  Also, check out our inspiration projects that were created with this kit.

Keep on Scrappin'

Sometimes you need to take a little goodies to school, church or neighbors.  It's always fun to embellish them for your own uniqueness.

This card has so much appeal... look at that all that laying!

Trick or Treat layout...more laying, tags and labels...great use of product!

Here is one last treat holder... a coffin full of candy corn for your next Halloween Party!  Using my die-cut machine, I cut the coffin, spider, spider web and skeleton for the top and inked everything.  I then embellished the rest using the kit products.

Even the bling came in the kit!  It adds to the eyes of the spider and other little tags.
