Birthday Card!

Teresa here from Fresh and Renewed ...Back again with another birthday card...this time for a very dear Aunt. I had this image in my stash...I have no idea where it came from...back in the day before I knew it wasn't keen to participate in stamped image swaps I did that and I think this may be where the image came from. Pansies are my second favorite flower and if my aunt is anything like her daughter she absolutely loves flowers. My favorite color of Pansy is purple...that deep dark purple. All of these combined are the reason I colored this image purple. Hope you enjoy! Supply List: Yellow card base from my stash Pansy image from my stash (I know this is naughty, we learn as we grow) Copic Markers Avery Elle Dotted Die Fancy Pants "Office Suite" patterned paper Clear Wink of Stella Viva De Cor Yellow Pearl Pen I hope your enjoyed today's project too.

Wedding Card!

Teresa here from Fresh and Renewed . I have a wedding card today using a technique I have wanted to try for a long time. I heat embossed the image with white fine detail powder on vellum and then flipped it over and colored it with Copic markers. I sooooo need to get better about keeping a list of products used. I do know I used products from the following companies: My Favorite Things, Wild Rose Studios, Close to My Heart, Lawn Fawn, Copic. I hope your enjoyed today's project too.

Throwback Thursday!

Hello Crafty Friends!  Brenda here today and I thought that I would do a "Throwback Thursday" of one of my favorite techniques that SBC has shown its readers.  It is the Triple Time Stamp Technique. This technique was featured on the SBC blog prior to my being a Design Team member.  At the time I entered three of my cards for the challenge. To see the original post head on over here and learn more about this fun technique.  Here are the three cards that I entered at the time: I loved the technique so much I went on to create several more cards.  Here is one more: I love the that you can use background stamps with this technique.  I have so many of them that seem not to get used as often as they should.  This technique is perfect for them.  Also, stickers can be used. That is what the present is on the one above. I hope that you enjoyed today's Throwback Thursday. If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave it in the comments. Also, you

Cricut Fun

Hello Crafty Friends!  Brenda here today with a couple of die cuts that I made with my Cricut.  The inspiration behind these cuts is a Disney Park Attraction die-cut swap that I am in.  Do any of you participate in swaps?  I love to be in swaps.  Since I scrap a lot of Disney those are the swaps I tend to be in.  For this particular swap my assigned cut is related to The Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland (or WDW).  I had to create three different die cuts that would all work well together on a layout. This is what I came up with: I purposely left the blank space on the torch.  I thought that it would make a great space to journal. These three cuts were all made using the Cricut cartridge, Luau.  I have gotten a lot of use out of this cartridge.  A while back I created a layout using it.  To see the layout head on over here .  I also embossed the totem pole and the pineapple.  I like the added texture. As I said, I scrap a lot of Disney.  I would love to hear what your favorite

Wednesday YouTube Tutorial - Let's Decorate A Wooden Box

This video is not quite the same as my usual videos.  It's not about learning a new card fold or technique, it's about creatively decorating a wooden box so that it makes a great gift or home decor item.  It's fun...it's easy...and it looks great.  I hope this video gives you great ideas of your own :) Here are links to the My Bestie image and paper that I used: Fluffy Coffee Bestie http://www.mybestiesshop.com/store/p3242/Fluffy_coffee_Bestie_colored_printable.html Cupcakes Digital Paper http://www.mybestiesshop.com/store/p2077/Create_With_Sherri_Baldy_Designer_Papers_this_is_an_8_Pack_%22CupCakes%22_6_x_6_Instant_Download_.html I hope your enjoyed today's project too.
