Giftable Box

Hope everyone is taking time out today to spend time with their dad's. Today, I am going to share with you a box I made for a gift for my dad. 

Supplies: cardstock, pattern paper diamond dew drops (The Robin's Nest), twine (Timeless Twine) and  glue of choice for attaching the twine is Glossy Accents. 

I created a belt that wraps around the box and adhere everything to it. The twine swirls are attached to box.. 

The twines I used are Natural and Kraft Brown twines. These are so perfect to a guy's project.

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out The Robin's Nest for their great papers and embellishments.  Don't forget the diamond dew drops are 20% off this month.

Farewell to S~N~S

As the old saying goes "All things must come to an end". This is my last post as a member of this fantastic design team.

Here is the latest sketch from S~N~S.

 This is what I came up with. A Christmas page of my mom. The photos are from the late 70's.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Graphic 45, My Mind's Eye and Pink Paislee), mist (Heidi Swapp), sticker (Lily Bee Designs), twine (Timeless Twine) border punches (Fiskars and EK Success), die-cut (Pink Paislee), journaling block (Bo Bunny) and tag (The Paper Company), decorative scissors and sewing machine. 

As you can tell I scrap out of order nd season. I like doing this way since it allows me to work with photos that inspire me at that time.
Don't forget about my product challenge. It goes until the 28th 12 A.M. The details are here.

Baby Blessings

Here is a  cute card set for a baby shower that is all tie up with baker's twine from Timeless Twine. I love their twine and I am not saying that because I am part of their design team. 

 Supplies:

Special Girl ~ Pink Roses on Green Cardstock

Chocolate Brown Classic Glitter Cardstock with Brown Glitter

Lavender Glitter Classic Cardstock

Special Girl ~ Little Friends ~ Baby Girls

Special Girl ~ Rose Vellum

Special Girl ~ Sweet Girl Sticker

Pearl White Diamond Dew Drops

Neon Pink Mini Dew Drops

Twine I used from our partner this month. 

Strawberry Truffle Pink and Brown Bakers Twine 

Bubble Gum Pink

Items from my stash

Doilies

Tags (Coredinations)

Embossing folder and machine (Sizzix)

Stamp (Karen Foster)

Ink (Stampabilities)

Electronic die-cutter and cartridge (Provo Craft)

 Each card is a little different. 

 I used my Cricut to cut the vellum. I placed a piece of cardstock under the vellum and outlined the words. To adhere it in the card I glued it where the cardstock was so the adhesive won't show. 

I used some of the stickers for my envelope seals.  

Here is the whole set. 

Thanks for stopping buy and I hope you stop by the store and stock up on your diamond dew drops while they are on sale this month. 

Color Challenge

At Embellish Me Happy this month's challenge is a color combo and banner challenge.
I choose this color scheme. I love the rich tones.

Here was the other color combo you can choose. 

Since it was a color challenge I really had to dig into my stash to find the right shades. I ended up finding everything and was able to create this "Get Well" card for a friend's dad.

You have until July 6th to complete this challenge. All you have to do is create a project that used one of these color combos and banners. One lucky participant will receive at mason jar filled with scrappy goodies. Link your project here on the sidebar.

Last week, I got to play along with the "Let's Get Trendy" five day challenge. I was able to complete all five without having to buy anything for them. All I had to do was do some stash digging and get a little more creative.
Day 1 was neon. I found some embossing powder that I had for a couple years that sure screamed neon. This page of my mom helping out at my class at church when  I was little.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill and The Paper Studio) banners (Fancy Pants Designs), ribbons and trim  (Bazzil, The paper Studio, A Muse Studio and Simplicity), mists (Studio Calico and Heidi Swapp), embossing powder (American Crafts), stamp (Autumn Leaves), marker (Bic), twine (Timeless Twine), stickers (American Crafts and Simple Stories), electronic die-cutter and cartridge (Provo Craft), doily and butterflies(came from a bead curtain I had when I was a teen) 

Day 2 was all about sequins. I love the look of them but I never use them since I only have a couple of colors. For this page I use this PageMaps sketch.  Page is of my brother when he was 2.

Day 3 was all about handmade embellishments. I die cutted the little coffee cups and arrows and this page.
I used this PageMaps sketch.  Page of me on why I love to cook.

Day 4 was stitching. I used twine to stitch the star on the card front. I used this PageMaps sketch to create this shaped card. This card I am also entering in Love My Tapes June challenge. I think my dad is going to like this card.

Day 5 was all about textured layers. This had to be the easiest challenge of all since I love to do textured layers. I also this this was my favorite. I used textured paste, textured paper and other interesting things. This page is of why I love to create. Pics are from the aftermath of National Scrapbook Day.

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill), pattern paper (Fancy Pants Designs and Crate Paper) , stamps ( Deep Red Stamps and K & Co.) ink (Stampabilities), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs, American Crafts, Pebbles inc., Simple Stories and Basic Grey), flair (Studio G), twine (Timeless Twine), mists (Heidi Swapp and Studio Calico), mask (Studio Calico), envelope (Fancy Pants Designs), modeling paste and electronic die cutter and cartridge (Provo Craft)
