Stick It Down Aug. Card

   Welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be sharing my take on this month's Stick It Down card sketch. When I first saw this sketch it had me a little confused about how to approach it.

As you can see I changed the sketch a bit but it still has the bones of it. I made the framed area larger and used puffy stickers as the accented squares. 

Supplies: Carta Bella), cardstock (the Paper Studio and Cardstock Warehouse), stamp (Hampton Arts), ink (Altenew), stickers (Pinkfresh studio and Echo Park Paper Co.), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), foil (We R Memory Keepers), tool (We R Memory Keepers) 

   I have to say I love the touch of foil. I used the freestyle foiling pens from We R Memory Keepers to do the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto the foil and traced it with the pen. 

The frame was a leftover of a cut file from a different card. I thought it was a the perfect way to frame the stamped image.

WCMD Recap 3 - Hello Card

   I didn't forget my WCMD recap, I just have been getting my new laptop set up. Today's card features the only hello theme card that I created on the card making holiday. 

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (American Crafts) die cuts (Pinkfresh Studio, Studio Calico and Pebbles Inc.), manual die (Crafter's Companion) die cutter (Spellbinders)

   Here is a side view. You can see this is a 3D card. Most of the cards I share here are available in my Etsy shop (MJ's Kraze) 

   Here is a closer look at the "box" goodies. 

WCMD Recap Post 1

   Yesterday was World Card Making Day and by chance, I was able to participate. Instead, of being out of town like I thought my family stayed home. 
I got to spend all evening in my studio creating cards. I only got a total of 8 cards done but that is good. 
   
   Here is a card that I created for the Pinkfresh WCMD Challenge #1, favorite technique. It was a little tricky to do my favorite "layers" card since my Pinkfresh stash it super small. For the floral paper, I used the packaging from one of their ephemera.

      I just love the puffy stickers. They add a nice depth to an otherwise flat card.  

   Be sure to pop back as I will be sharing the rest of my WCMD creations. 

Card - The Wild Hare Kit

   Today is the last project I am sharing over at The Wild Hare Kit club as their September's guest.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Pink Paislee, Carta Bella), die cuts (Pinkfresh Studio), stickers (American Crafts), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps), wood veneer (Pebbles), twine (?)

Layout Smile - The Wild Hare Kit Club

   I meant to post this layout that I created here earlier in the week but I kept getting sidetracked by yard work or cooking. Anyways, enough of the excuses.
   Here is the layout that I created of my dad using my September's hand-curated kit by The Wild Hare Kit Club.

 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (Pebbles and Pinkfresh Studio), wood veneer (Pebbles (sequins (SpiegleMpm Scraps), die cuts (Pinkfresh Studio), flair (?), and stickers (Pinkfresh Studio and American Crafts), and bakers twine

   Here is a little closer look of the hand-stitched arrow. To see more details head on over to The Wild Hare Kit blog. 

My First TN - The Wild Hare Kit Club

     I can't believe I am going to say this but I did my first ever traveler's notebook spread and I LOVE it. When this trend first hit the scrapbooking industry I said: "That is NOT for me".  Boy, was I wrong? I have been wanting to do a cooking/baking theme scrapbook but doing a big album seemed unrealistic since it would take a lot of real-estate. 

   So here is my first TN spread in my cooking theme book. All items used on this page was included in my September's kit from The Wild Hare Kit Club. Plus, I even used this month's sketch as my inspiration. You can check out the sketch and a more detail post here. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Jillibean Soup, Pinkfresh Studio, and Pebbles), die cuts (Pinkfresh Studio), and stickers (American Crafts and Pinkfresh Studio)

   As you can see I even used a puffy sticker on the spread. I love that the Pinkfresh studio puffy stickers are not bulky.
