Table Top Games

Today I am sharing 2 cards created for

Beccy's Place.

These cards feature a new digital stamp set for this month

Table Top Games.

When you purchase this digital set, you will receive a zip file containing:
- 3 black and white line drawings
- 3 full colour images
- 5 word images / sentiments

___________________________________________________

My card designs are really simple this time around.

The images were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

I added them to plain white backgrounds with 

a little bit of stamping done with "grunge" type stamps.

The sentiments were printed onto the white backgrounds

before I did the stamping and added the images.

Check this digital stamp set out along with all the other products in store from

Beccy's Place.

And there is always plenty of inspiration and a challenge found at the

Beccy's Place Blog!

 

Two Snow Ladies

Hello there!

I'm posting some inspiration today on behalf of

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

My DT card is a Christmas in July creation using

Prickley Pear Two Snow Ladies Stamps

Prickley Pear Circle Peek A Boo Die.

This is a gatefold card with a belly band.

I stamped and colored the images with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils and

used a clear sparkle pen on some parts.

Fussy cutting was done.

The front panels of the card were matted with a patterned paper.

I stamped a white panel with a sentiment for the inside of the card,

added a strip of patterned paper to the bottom and holly leaves to the top.

One of the snow ladies was added.

The other snow lady was adhered with foam tape onto

layered circle die cuts, which were added to the white belly band.

I added a stamped sentiment which was die cut in a banner shape.

Holly leaves were added.

Paperclip Embellishments & Folio

Are you looking for a good way to use all those card stock scraps you have piling up? 

Hey there!Today I'm sharing my latest CutCardStock DT project. Maybe you’re not like me and have mounds of paper scraps. I just can’t seem to throw any away, because, I may just need them for something??? So I have put some to use by making these paperclip embellishments.

Use these in a multitude of ways. You can use them in planners or journals. Or, use them for a quick card project or on a scrapbook page! I put together 12 of them thinking each one could represent months of the year. And since CutCardStock has envelopes as July’s Monthly Specials, I also put together a folio made with 2 large envelopes to store them in.

Let’s start!

Paperclip Embellishments

Pull out a bunch of card stock scraps and paperclips that measure 2 inches.

I am using cardstock that includes: multiple colors of Lessbo Premium Discount Card Stock, DCS Discount Textured and Pearlized Textured Card Stock, Stardream Metallic Card Stock, Basis Card Stock, Bright Foil 10 pt Card Stock

Cut small tags to use as bases for these embellishments and die cuts for decorating the tags.

Photos below show steps taken to put together each of the paperclip embellishments.

Score at the top end of the tags to fold over the longest edge of the paperclips. Glue down on back of the tags.

Gather die cuts and/or other pieces to decorate.

Adhere

Complete construction of all your paperclips.

Paperclip Folio

Now lets put together a simple little folio to hold our paperclip embellishments.

All you need is 2 envelopes, some card stock, ribbon and adhesive of choice.

I am using 2 Cougar Premium White 7.5 inch Square Envelopes.

With one envelope in the left hand and the other in the right, slip the flap of the one on the right into the opening the the one on the left. Adhere the flap of the left envelope to the front side of the right.

Score both envelopes 3 inches from the outside edges. Fold to the inside and burnish. Fold where the 2 envelopes come together. You have a folio.

Cut card stock to cover the outside covers. I am using Basis Pink Card Stock to mat the patterned card stock and some cutouts for decorative pieces.

Center a piece of ribbon about 26 inches long around the front and back covers and adhere. Cover with the card stock and cut outs.

Cut 4 strips of card stock measuring 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches. Adhere these to the front and backside of the inside flaps. Attach only to the top and bottom edges, leaving the side open to slip the paperclips over.

Insert your paperclips. The envelope pockets are great for more paperclips and/or other embellishments.

Thank you for taking a look at my Paperclip Embellishments and Folio projects. I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed putting them together.

Hello there!

It's time for this week's

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

ANYTHING GOES

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

 This week the DT was asked to created a card with an unusual shape and to use images with flowers. 

I chose to go with Picking Flowers Fairy Winnie Daisy. 

She was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. 

My card base was die cut. A cloud patterned paper was added to the background. 

This printable paper is from Pretty Spring Papers. 

A die cut fence was added and Winnie popped on top. 

The sentiment is from

Fall Vintage Truck Memory Dex Box

Well, I know it’s July but I’m already looking forward to my favorite season, which is Fall! 

Hi there! TodayI’m excited to share my 2nd Clear Scraps project for this month using New Release Products. This is a Vintage Truck Memory Dec Box and was so much fun to put together and add “fall inspired” touches.

Vintage Truck Memory Dex Box

Pumpkin Punchout Chipboard Embellishments

The Vintage Truck Memory Dex DIY box is made from 3/16" laser cut wood pieces making one 7.30"x6.3" index holder. Comes with 9 laser cut wood pieces, 2 - 1/4 dowels to be assembled. Inside box size area 6.25"x4.75"  The DIY boxes fits your standard 2"x4" roledex cards and more. Use wood adhesive to assemble box and then paint, ink or embellish these one of a kind Memory-Dex wooden boxes. Proud to be MADE in the USA

The laser cut chipboard punch-out embellishment sheet. Approx sheet size 5.0"x6.5" PUMPKIN comes with 8 different designs. Made from thick  chipboard. Use scissors or knife to carefully separate shapes. Paint or ink these great chipboard shapes to create fun embellishments. They are perfect for paper craft projects and also work well with our interchangeable mason jar lids. Proud to be made in the USA

_____________________________________________

The first thing I did was adhere the main parts of the truck, which consists of the front, side panels, back and bottom.

There are 2 accent pieces that were adhered to the back panel.

Next, came the painting. I used a teal acrylic paint for the body. A copper colored marker was used on the slats on the sides. The tires were painted with black acrylic paint. I used a silver metallic marker for the back bumper piece and the rear view and side view mirrors. The inside of the heart and lights on the bumper piece were colored with markers.

I finished the painting by smudging some light brown paint randomly to give a rusted appearance. I added a piece of burlap looking paper to the truck bed. Dowels were added to the bed as well.

I also added some 1/4 inch strips of a copper metallic card stock along the bottom edge of the truck.

With the painting done, it is time to add some decorative pieces.

I used chipboard, clip art and some sticker elements.

The chipboard pieces were colored with alcohol markers.

Photos below show 2 views each of the embellishments added to the back and the front.

I hope you like my project as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Southwest Christmas in July Card

Happy Thursday!

I hope everyone's week has been good and we're all looking forward to the weekend!

Today I am posting for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

It's Christmas in July time so I created a southwest themed card using Prickley Pear's

Brighter Days Ahead Stamp Set.

I stamped the image on watercolor paper with Versamark ink and 

heat embossed with a gold glitter embossing powder.

The image and background were water colored with sparkle pens.

I die cut the sentiment twice, once with a glitter card stock and in white.

These were layered for a shadow effect.

A string of lights was added.

Matting was done with gold metallic and glitter card stocks.
