As most of you know with a growing teenager, food is on the top of their priority.. I made a deal with her, set the table and I’ll get breakfast going..

Wanna Get Away to this FANTASTIC Scrapping ????

Tre's Chic

So, did you ever have one of those days? I woke up and was going about my day then remembered Wednesday is my day to post. YIKES!!! Well this is what my brain did. I started with a great piece of K & Co. double sided really thick pretty paper. I also decided I was wanted a different fold than just a plain card. So I cut my paper 5 1/2 X 12. Then I used a borrowed Score-it and made a score line at 2" and 4" and folded the card. I wanted the pretty side with a bit of color on the flaps so I cut 2 strips to go on each flap.

Next, I used a couple of die cuts from Spellbinders but cut them out with my Cutttlebug! I had never done this and it worked like a dream. (of course) I then ran the label through the Cuttlebug using an embossing folder. I also stenciled the design onto the focal piece.

I decided to add some more interest to the card front so stamped my fav collage stamp by Stampers Anonymous several times with Espresso Ink. I also stamped the words in the upper right corner and attached a Prima collage flower in the lower left panel. Then I added the bit of ribbon that would carry trough to the open card.

I cut and embossed the label a second time and layered it over the ribbon on two other layers. Both layers were embossed, corner rounded and distressed with more Espresso ink. I love the layers and all the texture.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to create for this blog! Hope you all enjoy.

Happy Creating!

Your Story

Hello all and happy Wednesday. I have been playing wit my Your Story by Provo Craft. These pictures are just a few of the pages I created. I loved working with some of my favorite saying, bling and glitter! What was really great...how easy the book went together with this GREAT machine!

I used paper tearing, inking the edges of pages, paper scraps, ribbon and all different sorts of bling to bring the pages to life. A dear friend of mine gave me a K & Company paper stack for Christmas and that was the background for all the pages. Thanks Linda!

For the cover I used a stamp and leaf shaped bling. There are all sorts of designs made from bling and I love it. And of course...there is glitter when I could find a place for a little more glitz

Happy Creating!

Key To My Heart

Thank you for joining me with my second post to this great blog! With Valentine's Day coming this weekend I have done charming card to send/give to the one you love. Product list: Stamps by Prickley Pear, embossing folder by Cuttlebug & ink by Tsukineko.

I started this card with brown background and stamped a simple background using one of my focal stamps. I stamped the image several times using VersaMark to leave the subtle water mark affect.

Next I used the swirls Cuttlebug folder to emboss the red card stock. I chose to tear the bottom rather than make a straight edge to add some interest. I had to run the paper through the Cuttlebug twice as this was a longer piece of card stock.

Since I was using brown and red papers I chose an off white layer to to make the other elements of the card pop. I then used the background stamp again but used the entire image. I used several different colors of ink layered on the stamp to make it variegated in color. I then tore the edges and inked the edges with the same inks the image was stamped in and attached to the card front.

I stamped the words on the same off white paper and inked the edges and attached to the card front with a pop dot. Next I stamped the victorian lady on brown, cut it out and attached to the card front with a pop dot.

The last two elements were then added. A key to go along with the phrase and a few touches of glitter. I made my string to match by running it over the ink pad.

This was a fun and easy card to make. Hope it inspires you to make a special card for your special someone!

Happy Creating...
Kristi

I am so excited to be here!

Hello All!  My name is Kristi and I am thrilled to be part of this blog.  

Thank you Maggie for the kind invite!  I woke up this morning after not sleeping very well, looked out the window and saw ANOTHER gloomy day!  I then walked into my studio and pulled out bright, fun colors to created a spring card! 

I started with a base card in a funky orange and stamped a floral image by Prickly Pear in VersaMark ink. I added the embossed Doodle Bug design stripe paper and thought it needed texture so of course I ran it through my Cuttlebug!

I then found a scrap of hot pink mirror paper and embossed that too. Put the two together, added a bit of ribbon and some large photo corners and atached that tothe card front.  

I tore the words out of a different piece of Doodle Bug paper.  I picked words that I thought were fun.  The three words up top are held together by a pretty pink brad and some more ribbon. I ran a small scrap of mirror paper through the Cuttlebug and cut out the embossed flower and edged it with a silver Krylon pen.  

I then put several flower combinations together and placed them on the card.  I used some foam mounting tape to pop up the bottom flower and then popped up the flowers on top of the embossed piece. 

I was so great to think SPRING!  The groundhog in Springfield, MO, did not see his shadow so here's hoping!  

Happy Creating...Kristi
