Piccolo birdhouse

Hi everyone.  Remember those doilies I created for Globecraft and Piccolo last month?

Well, I thought this green one would be the perfect backdrop for the birdhouse stamp.

The doily was covered with Mossy Glen Embossing Powder .  Love the shine!!!  Placing it aside, I colored this Heartfelt Creations stamp with Copic Markers, then cut out the image.   I adhered it to the doily with foam adhesives for dimension.

For the backdrop behind the doily, I coated the cardstock with Real Rust Embossing Powder and heat set to get this wonderful effect.

Using some Pink Rose 3d Enamel Gel , I added it to the tips of the roses.  Once set, I had this amazing 3 dimensional effect.

Stop by the Globecraft and Piccolo blog to see what else I've have been creating.

Thank You

It's challenge week at Cornish Heritage Farms  and  we are creating with  pink and green. 

Using pink cardstock, I created a square card and stamped the front with the Large Dots Backgrounder stamp.  A strip of green cardstock was used to cover a section of the cardstock where I made a mistake!!!!  There is always a way to correct a mistake don't you think!

 I created a window card by placing a Spellbinders Label 18 die on the card front.  To finish the "window" I die cut a larger border, inked the edges and placed it on top.    The sentiment is from Script Essential Expressions.

I colored the Garden Chair Digital Image  with Copic Markers in assorted  colors of greens, purples, yellows and browns.

Baby Accordian Album

Hey everyone, this cute little accordion album would make a perfect brag book for a new baby and is made from only one sheet of double sided pattern paper.

Using a 12" square sheet of double sided pattern paper, score the paper vertically every 3"
Turn the paper 90 degrees and score at the 6" mark

Fold the paper in half, then fold along the 3" score lines to create an accordion effect

 

Score, trim and fold each section as follows:

Score the first section from the fold to the score line
Cut the corner from the 2nd panel, approximately 1" from the score line
Cut from the fold line to the top edge of the 3rd panel
Cut 4" down and across to the score line on the 4th panel

 

Double fold the top edge of the first panel and adhere with Score Tape

 

Cut pattern paper to fit the inside panels

Adhere ribbons between the layers of the first and last panels

Add Score Tape along the bottom of the panels and along the edges of each scored panel

 

 

Gently ink all edges with Ranger Pumice Distress Ink

Add ribbons to office tags and insert in the panels

 

Decorate the book as desired

I added a Memory Box die cut baby carriage on the front cover

 

 

 

Supplies:

Cardstock, Pattern Paper: American Crafts

Scoring Tool: Scor-Pal

Adhesive: Scor-Tape

Ribbon: Offray

Die: Memory Box

Ink: Ranger Distress Ink

Wilderness Survival Box

Here's a  really fun project I created for Scor-pal using products from Simple Stories Take a Hike Collection.

This collection with it's earth tone colors and it's assorted array of patterns and elements made this  the perfect collection to create this Wilderness Survival Box.   Fill it with cards, mementos and little goodies from home so your little camper won't be lonely.

Cut cardstock to 12" x 7", then score at 4 1/2" and 7 1/2".  Fold on the scored lines.

Cut pattern paper 4 1/4" x 6 3/4" to cover both the front and back of the box.
Cut additional cardstock and pattern paper as decorative elements for the front of the box.

To create the sides of the box, cut 2 pieces of cardstock 6" x 2 1/2" and score every 1/2" across. 

Once folded, adhere the two end pieces to the larger cardstock panel to create the box.

Inside the box, add cardstock strips to create separate compartments by cutting 4 pieces of cardstock 7" x 2 1/2".  Score 1/4" on both ends, and adhere to the side panels created above.

Cut elements from the pattern paper collection and include inside the box.  And also add some goodies from home.

To create the top of the box, I used Spellbinders dies, cutting the bottom layer from cardstock and the top layer from pattern paper.

Fitting the cardstock to the box, create the back flap by scoring  at 1 1/2".
To create the front flap, score at  2".    
Cut the pattern paper into 3 sections to fit between the scored lines and then adhere each section.

Add assorted tickets and elements to the back of the box, inking the edges of each piece and matting each piece with cardstock before overlaying and adhering to the box. 

Add assorted elements and stickers to finish the top and front of the box.

Side view of the completed box:





To close the box, add a Velcro dot in the center of the front.

 

Supplies: Scoring Tool:  Scor-pal

Adhesive: Score-tape

Cardstock: Bazzill

Pattern paper:  Simple Stories

Every day is a blessing

It's time to showcase another Thomas Kinkade stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms and I am using  Cobblestone Bridge.

I first stamped the image with Clearsnap's Guacomole Chalk Ink on white cardstock.  Chalk Ink is the best ink to use to get the details of the Thomas Kinkade stamps to really stand out. 

I die cut the center of the village and placed it back on a scalloped circle for emphasis.  A little Smooch Ink in the windows added some life to the homes.

 

Using A Time to Stamp stamp set, I stamped a clock and sentiment on the lower section of the card.

Find Inspiration

Happy Monday everyone.  It's time for another reveal from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps..   

Today, I'm using the new CLR025A - Gears2 acrylic stamp set, creating my background with the stamps.  A simple brad in each gear adds a nice touch.  The sentiment is from the Gears2 set and I mounted that on D033 - Flourished Oval die.
 

For the interior card, I used GG0043 - Wishing you Success.

It's a huge blog hop today!!!!

Today  Paper Temptress's  Design Team is blog hopping with Heartfelt Creation's  Design Team members combining products from both Heartfelt Creation and Paper Temptress.
 

Paper Temptress  is donating a $25.00 gift certificate and Heartfelt Creations is giving away  the whole new (and fabulous) Sun Kissed Fleur Collection so make sure you leave a comment on each of the PaperTemptress’s DT’s blog and a message on Heartfelt Creations blog to enter to win.  These are fabulous prizes so make sure you follow directions carefully! You could be one of the two winners.  Winners will be selected on May14th so be sure to check back to see if you won!

 Hope you enjoy what both teams have designed for you.

Today I'm using one of the stamps from the Heartfelt Creations' Scenic Vista

  collection.  This is a beautiful set with three very different stamps, and I have used an assortment of Papertemptress' papers. 

I started with a sheet of Butternut Treasures   cardstock which I used as the base of my card, cutting it to 5 1/2" x 11".  The next two layers were selected to coordinate with the colors of the stamped scene.  I used Hambly's Mod Circles and Little Circles,   opting to use the alternate, solid color side, with just a touch of the Little Circles  showing.

Selecting this garden stamp, I stamped it on Cryogen White  cardstock, my cardstock of choice when using Copic Markers.  Then I colored the set with Copic Markers and die cut it into a circle.  I then used  Grass Treasures  cardstock as the matting.

The ornate swirls behind my image is actually one of the coordinating Decorative Chateau Gate Die which was cut from Cryogen White cardstock.  A small stamp was used as the sentiment directly on the Hambly papers and added to the card with foam adhesives.

Welcome Home

It's a new challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms and Frances has asked us to use a digital image.   If you check out the Store you will find some awesome images to work with.

I chose to work with  Mushroom Lane #6  and colored it with Copic Markers.  Once colored, I cut it out and added the image to this awesome pattern paper I found in my stash.  It was the perfect backdrop for the colored image.

The sentiment is a sticker I also found in my stash.

Head on over to see what everyone has created.
