Wood You Marry Me?

I love the wood diecuts that seem to be so trendy right now. I had a few pieces on my desk-so combined them to make this fun card! Slowly, very slowly I am tidying up my very messy desk-and challenging myself to make cards using only the supplies that are laying around. I finally put all my inkpads and stamps away-(hey, that's a big project since I also needed to clean them)! Did you notice that there is no stamping at all in this card?

Paper: Smoky Slate
Embellishments: Essentials Wooden Elements (heart), January Paper Pumpkin Kit (people), March Paper Pumpkin Kit (congrats), Bermuda Bay Celebration Add-On Kit (stitched circles), Basic Metal Buttons, Silver Baker's Twine, Basic Rhinestones
Adhesives: Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Come back tomorrow and I will show you another card that uses this same layout! And if you weren't sure you needed Paper Pumpkin-now you see the cute embellishments that are only available in the kit-and there is an amazing promotion on if you sign up for Paper Pumpkin before the end of March!

Take care!

Party, Party, Party Bundle-Project #6

I love coffee, and I love giving K cups and a coffee gift certificate as gifts! The garland made the perfect accent to decorate the box, and the treat bag was the perfect thing to wrap around the box. I actually shredded another bag to use inside as stuffing. The bags and the chunky twine just said coffee to me, I think it was the colour and texture. The little tags and die-cuts were perfect for a tag and I just popped on a candy dot- one of my favorite embellishments.

You might need to put your sunglasses on-there is a lot of shine coming off this photo!

I loved the two sided paper in the Party, Party, Party Bundle-especially the paper that was Daffodil Delight (doesn't that sound like spring) on one side and SHINY silver on the other. I LOVE Silver!

Party in a Box! Party, Party, Party Bundle-Project #4

I started my paper crafting journey as a scrapbooker. Made my first scrapbook when I was in high school-amazing the family secrets I captured. Was featured in Memory Makers magazine a few times. Have a couple of shelves in our family room full of scrapbooks. Somehow, I made the transition to cards-maybe a canvas that I could complete in an evening was what called my name?

When Dale Hampshire at Stampin' Up! Canada called to see if I would create 8 projects with the Party, Party, Party bundle to be featured on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog, I figured one of them should be a scrapbook page!

Love this picture of my niece Zoe, taken in Hawaii last year!

Alyssa's Pick! Party, Party, Party Bundle-Project #2

The card I am featuring today, was Alyssa's top pick from the 8 projects that I created for the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog featuring the Party, Party, Party Bundle. It was my favourite project, too!

The greeting is embossed with white embossing powder-I still love watching the glistening magic happen between embossing powder and the heat tool!

This next photo will let you see some of the dimension on this card-I popped all the little banners up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Notice the little banners are folded over-love that look. When you purchase the Party, Party, Party Bundle you will have earned a FREE Sale-A-Bration product-go for the Banner Punch! LOVE it! I cut strips of paper 3/4" x 2-1/2" and folded them in half-then when I put the paper into the punch, I kept the fold of the paper, just slightly below the cutting edge of the top of the banner-see the photo below.

Most of the supplies used on this card came from the Party, Party, Party Bundle-I have attached a picture for you!

Paper: Note Cards, Crushed Curry Cardstock
Stamps: Simply Celebrate Set
Ink: Versamark, White Embossing Powder,
Embellishments:Bermuda Bay Celebration Add-On Kit, Basic Pearls, White Baker's Twine
Punches:Banner Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
Tools: Envelope Liners Framelits, Big Shot, Heat Tool
Adhesives; SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Mono-Adhesive Glue

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by.
