May 2014 edition

*********************************************************************************

Using more of the kit and some of the stash from the layout I made a wedding card to share also.

Above I started with a piece of white cardstock 10"x7" so it still fits in a standard 5"x7" envolope.

As above you can see the fold lines which are marked or creased at the 2 1/2" on each side.

Here is my finished card using stash, embossing, stamping, metal accent with twine tie along

with added dew drops and the great sentiment sticker which I matted and popped up.

The sentiment is added to a cardstock inked piece with stamping added.

And then I added the twine tied metal heart.

In this detailed close up you can view the dew drops on the left side and 

the inked embossing on the right side.

These panels are slightly smaller than the 2 1/2" x7" on the base card.

It is fun to change up the style or design of a card without it being too hard.

Follow this and make some cards for yourself.... but have fun creating.

Thanks for visiting... see you again soon.

Paper House 1st DT reveal with amazing LIL' MONSTER COLLECTION

This super fun, bright and wonderful page is my first post for the amazing

Paper House Production DT.

The kit used is Lil' Monster Collection  

 and with only a few pieces of plain cardstock and some 

added accents with a homemade medallion flower.... it's too cute.

When you have a print that you need to slightly float accents for photos under

just fussy cut around the pieces and insert behind them.. it's so easy to make

things fit this way and now cover the cute images on the papers.

This close up section shares all the fun circles cut with the best ever Kreaxions Circle Cutter.

Full circles or just fun different width ring circles.. some outlined with white gel pen stitches doodled on.

Super cute stickers, some brads, a tied piece of twine and the big circle was mask with gesso.

This fun section has buttons and a medallion flower with glossy accent dot accents.
Below is the instructions to making this flower with a video.

Video Tutorial making the medallion Flower... the only difference is 

I used the Kreaxions #920 punched border piece to form my flower.

Thanks for visiting..come back often so I can share my Paper House Creations with you.

Just Imagine DT REVEAL for March

Today at Just Imagine Crafts is the DT REVEAL for March.

Create using theme for ST. Patrick's Day or anything green. Well I chose GREEN.

I used scraps from my monthly kit from the Robin's Nest Spring/Easter Collections

and sponsored Altered Pages image for my card.

To mount the fab image I first gesso mask the centre of the cardstock, 

then Kreaxions punched the outer edges with Kreaxions Punch # 917 with insert A

on both sides and added the fun SRM sticker sentiment.

For this card I also used the Turtle Soup Card sketch from the

March Sketchathon for inspiration.

Thanks for visiting .. hope you'll stop by again soon.

SWAT Drill #28 - sketch

SWAT DRILL #28 today is a sketch (below) and no twists....
lots of fun circle accents were perfect instead of all doilies.
The one and only doily is Kreaxion Punched doily made using the star template.

Lots of layers, colours and fun accents. I used some metal accents, twine, brads, washi tape,
3 D stickers and textured flowers.



Stop by the blog and see what the rest of the DT have to share with you.

Great page with Grampa and the kids at the cottage. I used my Sew Easy stamp roller..
