A Bag, Tag and Card

 Happy Friday!

It's time for this week's

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

My DT project for this week is a gift bag, tag and a card.

I used 3 images and a paper from the Baked With Love Gingerbread Download Bundle.

I colored the b/w images with pencils and fussy cut.

I used the Fancy Snowflake Christmas Cutting Die for embellishment.

With some die cut squares and sequins added, I have a perfectly coordinated set.

I hope to see your entry in the challenge!

Have a great week!

Cute As A Button Inspiration

Hello there!

Today I'm sharing my inspiration project for this month over on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog.

It is a card that can be given for any occasion.

I used one of my favorite stamps,

Perfume Queen

I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

I die cut the background in silver matte metallic card stock.

The die cut is matted with black glitter card.

I die cut the "Fabulous" sentiment in black glitter card

and adhered to the silver card.

It was quick and easy to put together!

I hope I've provided you some inspiration and that you'll

check out theis and the other products available at

Cute As A Button.

And, don't forget to join us each month for the Blog Challenge

and the Facebook Progressive Challenge.

Family Memories Mini Album

Hi there! I'm on the CutCardStock Creative Blog today! If you are looking for a project that would make a great gift I have one for you today! It is a mini album and it can be made for any occasion or theme.

To get started, you will need 8 pieces of card stock measuring 12 x 6 inches to create the album base. I used DCS DISCOUNT CARD STOCK: CANVAS TEXTURED GINGER SNAP CARD STOCK. Each piece was scored at 3/4, 1 1/2 & 7 1/2 inches along the long side. Burnish the card stock along the score lines on either end folded in toward the center. This gives you an overall piece measuring 6.75 x 6 inches with pages that are 6 x 6 inches.To get started, you will need 8 pieces of card stock measuring 12 x 6 inches to create the album base. I used DCS DISCOUNT CARD STOCK: CANVAS TEXTURED GINGER SNAP CARD STOCK. Each piece was scored at 3/4, 1 1/2 & 7 1/2 inches along the long side. Burnish the card stock along the score lines on either end folded in toward the center. This gives you an overall piece measuring 6.75 x 6 inches with pages that are 6 x 6 inches.

Glue the inside of the 3/4 inch side down to the 1 1/2 inch score line on each of the 8 pieces.

Punch holes at 2 and 4 inches. I chose to add eyelets here, but that is up to you. This is where the ribbon will be run through to form the binding.

Next, I chose to round the corners on the other side, but you can leave it if you prefer.

Take each of the 8 pages and stack so that the flaps fold to the inside forming pages 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13 & 14. Pages 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, & 12 will be solid. Run a piece of ribbon from the back of the last page up through the punched holes and tie together to bind the album. I eventually used a wider ribbon for my finished product than the photo here shows. I found the wider ribbon holds the album together much better.

Now we are ready to decorate the cover and pages.

I cut a piece of Royal Sundance White Felt Card Stock to 5 5/8 x 5 5/8 inches and 8 pieces of the same white card stock to 5 1/4 x 4 inches.

Using Aqua Discount Card Stock, I cut 9 pieces to 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches. I cut 8 pieces to 4 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches and rounded 2 corners to match the album flaps.

Next I gathered some patterned papers. 6 pieces were cut to 5 5/8 inches square. 8npieces were cut to 4 1/8 x 5 5/8 inches. 8 pieces were cut to 5 1/4 x 1 3/4 inches.

I spattered water color ink on to each of these pieces of the Royal Sundance White Felt Card Stock.

All of the cut pieces were adhered to the album pages, using the Aqua Discount Card Stock as matting for the square pieces of printed card and the watercolored spattered Royal Sundance White Felt Card Stock.

I used the 5 5/8 inch square piece of Royal Sundance White Felt Card Stock for the front of the album. I stamped, die cut and water colored a floral corner for embellishment and die cut the title using Aqua Discount Card Stock. I also used the aqua card to matt this piece.

And there you have it! An album all ready to add photos or for gift giving!

Holiday Candles Card

Hey there!

Today I'm over on the

Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

sharing a Holiday card project.

I created this card using 3 die sets from

Dies R Us.

This a pretty quick and easy layout

that would work for any occasion just by changing up the dies.

I chose some nice red and gold metallic papers and dies to start.

My die cutting was done next using

Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Card Set Dies

Memory Box Glowing Candles Die

Memory Box Peace Cheshire Script Die

Using a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base, I added  red base layer with

gold on top and the die cut frame. I decided to add a strip 

of gold on the lower edge of the frame.

All that was left to do was add the other die cuts.

I hope I've provided some inspiration for you to

 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you 

to come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. 

There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store. 

For your convenience, all the important Dies R Us links are provided below.

Happy Halloween Card

I die cut layered circles to place behind the cute witch.

My sentiment was fussy cut from a Halloween tag in my stash.

i added some glittered enamel dots to complete my design.

The Great Jack

Hi there!

My project is a card using an "Encore Set" called

The Great Jack.

Bright orange pumpkins and smiling jack-o-lanterns herald the coming of Halloween and the crisp, cool days of autumn. This set has all you need to create fabulous seasonal cards and scrapbook pages, and would also be ideal for Thanksgiving and autumn greetings.
DIGITAL STAMP SET
When youpurchase this digital set you will receive a zip file containing:
- black and white line drawings

I colored the digital I chose with pencils, fussy cut and

popped onto a layered die cut circle. 

 The background patterned paper is from Recollections.

I printed the sentiment,

cut into a rectangle shape and matted. I die cut 2 banners and

arranged behind the circle die cut. My finishing touch were the

dazzles stickers placed in 2 corners. 

I hope you'll check out this digital stamp set and
