Summer Handbag Palooza, Part 1!

8/11/20 Top 5 at Try it on Tuesday!

Hi everyone! I’ve popped back in one last time this morning to share some more super fun purse gift holders created with the Concord and 9th Everyday Purse stamp and die set. I’ve had these lil pretties made for well over a month now and planned to make several more to go with them but just haven’t had the time. So I thought I’d go ahead and showcase these three with the promise that I will add Part 2 soon, lol! But how fun are these – aren’t they great to hold chocolates, jewelry, cash or a gift card?!

The papers are from Canvas Corp – I chose them because they are heavy but not too heavy, bright and cheerful, and perfect for Summer. The straps and other white elements are also Canvas Corp paper, and the rings are from Hygloss silver and gold foil cardstock. The closures on the green/white and red/white are half Velcro circles. All the purses differ just bit from each other. This first one has a flap closure embellished with a large pearl.

The next one has a ‘clasp’ closure and features a tassel, heart charm and a couple stamped tags, all attached with a tiny ball chain. I also added a few flat-back pearls.

And the last one doesn’t have a closure – it features an open top and looks the same from both sides. How cute would it look with a small piece of white or yellow tissue paper enveloping the gift inside like a typical gift bag?!

And one more peek at all three… totally loving how these turned out! And stay tuned, because there will be a few more to add to my Summer Handbag Palooza! ;)

Silver Glitz and Glam Handbag

7/30/20 DT Favorite at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

8/18/20 Top 3 at Not Just Cards Challenges!

Hi, friends! Happy Monday – hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Curious Metallic and Glitter cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a glitzy and glamorous little handbag to hold birthday chocolates, jewelry or a gift card! OMG, how stinkin’ cute is this?!

I found this stamp and die set at one of my favorite online stores several months ago and could not wait to get my hands on it! I cut all the purse pieces from CCS Silver Glitter cardstock and Curious Metallic White-Silver cardstock. I also used Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock for a pop of red on the charm and one of the tags, and then to tie in that pop of red I used a few red flat-back pearls. I stamped both tags in red ink (tone-on-tone stamping on the red tag) and then heat embossed the sentiment tag with clear embossing powder over top the red ink. I had a small ball chain in my stash that I used to hang the charm, tassel and tags off one of the straps.

Here’s a shot of the back…

And one more look… I love it so much I can’t stand it! And I can’t wait to make some more using different colors and patterns of cardstock. So fun!

Crafters canvas

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good day! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #39 – Anything Goes + Open Technique! Remember, all of our challenges are ‘anything goes’ and we offer an optional technique twist each month to get your mojo going! This month the twist is an open technique so you can use whatever technique you want for your project but just tell us what it is in your blog post. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten really inky so I created a mixed media canvas for my studio!

I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this was! I absolutely love mixed media and don’t do nearly enough of it. I guest designed for The Hedgehog Hollow back in March and received the March Subscription Box to create with, and used quite a few goodies from that box on this canvas. It’s an 8×8 stretched canvas that I covered with two coats of Gesso. I applied embossing paste over The Hedgehog Hollow ruler stencil, and once dry, I added pink, orange, purple and green shimmer sprays which were really vibrant so I spritzed them with water to tone them down a bit. When those inks were dry, I splattered the entire front of the canvas with slightly-watered-down Copic white opaque ink on a fan brush and then stamped with the vertical words stamp set from The Hedgehog Hollow pressed into the Copic white opaque ink, leaving all the stamps on the plastic sheet, which yielded some cool white blotchy illegible letters.

I stamped, colored and fussy cut a pen, bottle of ink, bottle of glue, painter’s palette and brush, and tube of paint, all from The Hedgehog Hollow. I stamped sentiments (also from The Hedgehog Hollow) in pink and green ink and die cut them – and discovered that those inks aren’t waterproof. I somehow got a droplet of water on the green sentiment and was about to re-stamp it when I thought ‘nope, that just adds to the mess’ so I left it alone. I added a twine hanger constructed of three lengths of twine that I knotted every couple inches and attached with a screw on each side of the canvas.

I dug into my crafty stash and found several other items to compliment the stamped images and sentiments. Then the fun began… arranging everything on the canvas! I’m so loving how this turned out and can’t wait to hang it in my studio! Here are a couple more angled shots.

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a fantastic week! I’m super stoked to finally be able to share that I’m creating samples for Prickley Pear Stamps! I can’t even tell you how much fun I’ve been having playing with these amazing stamps and dies! I’ve created quite a few projects for an upcoming Hochanda show but have to wait until after the show next month to share, so in the meantime I’ll be sharing other samples that I created for the website. The project I’m sharing today is an adorable purse featuring the Blue Without You Bluebonnets clear stamp set which I paired with some pretty cardstock and a purse die set. How stinkin’ cute is this?!

I stamped the bluebonnets in black ink on white cardstock and then die cut all the purse pieces. I colored the flowers with alcohol markers and then assembled the purse. I added a large white flat-back pearl to the flap closure with Velcro on the under side. Super easy construction – with each one I’ve made, they’ve gotten easier to put together. I’ve made five so far and this is the first one I’ve blogged, lol! But stay tuned… you’ll be seeing the others soon! ;)

Here is a shot of the back and another shot from overhead. This little purse is big enough for chocolate or other candy, a gift card or cash!

And one more peek… I’m so happy with how this turned out! Another one added to My Paper Purses page!

Christmas Explosion Box

Hi everyone! It’s Wednesday and that means it’s Huuump Daaay! I’m not posting on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog today but have popped in this morning to share an extra DT inspiration project with you, a fun exploding box (a box with a box inside) created with the FREE Simply Crafty SVGs Square Explosion Box cut file. And yes, I did say free – Sandy has tons of freebies in her store, so if you’re new to electronic die cutting or if you’re just wanting to add some cool cut files to your arsenal, check out the store! This is sadly my last post for Simply Crafty SVGs and I want to thank Sandy and the rest of the gang for having me along for the past 2-1/2 years! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself and really appreciate Sandy’s generosity!

I, too, went with a Christmas theme and used some awesome PhotoPlay papers. I had the tinsel wreath ornament in my stash so I cut off the ornament string and hot-glued it to the lid.

Here’s a shot of the box opened up to reveal the small box in the center. Loving all these patterned papers!

Here are two overhead shots…

And one more look… so happy with how this turned out! Now to wait for Christmas, lol! ;)

Yum treat box

Hello, my crafty friends! Hope you’re having a good week! This month’s Anything Goes with Dies Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project with you today! This is my last post for the Happy Little Stampers Die Team and I’d like to thank Kylie and the rest of the crew for having me along for the last year and a half! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I created a super cute pink and white polkadot treat box using the Stampin’ Up Baker’s Box Thinlits. I cut three ‘yum’ sentiments from hot pink textured cardstock and adhered them on top of one another for a little dimension, and then added tiny dots with a white Gelly Roll pen. I used pink Silky Crush ribbon to tie the box closed.

Here are a couple shots showing the back of the box. Reminds me of a little milk carton. So stinkin’ cute! ;)

Here’s one more look… I love how this turned out and it’ll look even cuter with some Jelly Belly jellybeans in it, lol! ;)

Memories Junk Journal

6/1/20 Winner AND Honorable Mention at Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenges!
6/4/20 Top Pick of the Week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge!

Howdy, friends! Happy Friday – hope you are enjoying your down-slide to the weekend! I’ve popped in with a fun junk journal I finished yesterday afternoon for The Outlawz Twisted Thursdays Challenge where the challenges are always Anything Goes with an optional twist. Our sponsor this month is Vectoria Designs and this time the twist is pearls and lace which goes so well with their ‘shabby chic’ line.

I had the Vectoria Designs Botanical Junk Journal Kit in my digital printable stash so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to use it. I printed the cover and all the pages on 60# Hammermill copy paper which yields the best print quality. I trimmed all the pages and inked the edges with walnut stain ink prior to assembling the journal. I added Washi Tape and paper lace along the spine on the front and back, and then added gold flat-back pearls to the paper lace on the front along with filigree metal pieces on the two outside corners. I attached jute cord with bronze charms to the spine. I adhered a label from the kit to the front and spelled out the word ‘Memories’ in gold glitter alpha stickers, and then added a large paper flower that I ‘dirtied up’ with some antique linen distress ink. I added small pieces of the paper lace to a few of the inside pages to complete the journal.

Joy Mini Treat Box

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! I’m not posting on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog today but have popped in this morning to share an extra DT inspiration project with you, an adorable little treat box created with the free (yep, that’s what I said!) Simply Crafty SVGs Chocolate Squares Box cut file. OMGosh, is this cute or what?!

2020_0202005a

This was truly an easy one to put together. That’s the wonderful thing about Sandy… she takes all the guesswork out of her files. Instructions are straight-forward and easy to understand – in the form of written instructions downloaded with the file or a YouTube video where you can follow along interactively.

2020_0202006a

I cut the base from heavyweight kraft, the side panels from a pretty PhotoPlay red print and the handles from a holly print on the flip side of the red print. I tied a scrap of white and red hounds tooth ribbon through the handle with bamboo cord, and adhered a ‘joy’ sticker from the same PhotoPlay Collection Kit. The possibilities are endless with regard to colors, themes and occasions. I went with a Christmas theme here as Sandy did.

2020_0202007a

One more peek… so loving this! This would be a super cute project to mass produce to take chocolate to co-workers!

Backpack Mini Album

Hi friends! Happy Monday! It’s Memorial Day – please take a moment to remember what this day is really about… not just the start of summer, cooking out and chilling in the pool. Please take a moment to honor the men and women who died serving in the US Military. Now, on a happier note, I have a fun project to share with you today – a backpack mini album!

We moved last year and when unpacking my studio, I ‘unearthed’ a Technique Junkies mini album CD that I bought quite a while ago but am not able to play because I don’t have a CD-ROM on my laptop. I’ve had a lot of fun over the years creating projects from the tutorials on the CD, and this little backpack was one I particularly enjoyed so I reconfigured the measurements for my tutorials folder because I know I’ll be making more of them! The backpack base and flap, front pocket and inside pages were all cut from heavy kraft cardstock. I embellished the flap and created the front pocket from coordinating patterned paper. The front flap and little pocket both have small velcro circle closures. The little pocket on the front holds two journaling cards. The straps are made from brown twill ribbon. It’s not part of the tutorial but I created two scored pieces of kraft cardstock to cover the twill ribbon knots on the inside of the album to give it a more finished look.

There are eight pages on the inside embellished with more coordinating papers.

And one more peek… I’m so smitten! Love how this turned out and I can’t wait to gift it!

Vintage Floral Embellishments & ATCs

6/14/20 DT Favorite at World Wide Open Design Team Monthly Challenge!

Howdy friends! I hope you’re having a Happy Friday! I’m super stoked to share my Ephemoire inspiration project with you this morning. If you haven’t already done so, be sure to head over to the Ephemoire Etsy Shop to check out all the amazing digital printables… there are collage sheets, digital papers, journal kits, clip art and mixed media printables, and the print quality is awesome! This is my last post for the Ephemoire Dream Team and I thank Traci and the rest of the crew for having me along for the past 13 months. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself and it has been such an honor to design with Traci’s gorgeous printables!

I was provided the Heirloom Roses 1″ Circles Collage Sheet to play with this month which I paired with the Vintage Floral 2″ Circles Collage Sheet from my stash to create a couple different kinds of crafty embellishments… domes and buttons! How fun is that?!

For the domes, I printed the 1″ circle collage sheet on 60# Hammermill copy paper and punched out each one with a 1″ circle punch. I adhered a 1″ plain white cardstock circle on the back of each 1″ floral circle and then added a clear epoxy dome over the top of each to create pretty floral embellishments.

For the buttons, I printed the 2″ circle collage sheet on Grafix shrink film and punched out each circle with a 1-3/4″ circle punch. I punched two holes in the center of each 2″ circle with my Big Bite to create the button holes and heated them with my heat tool to shrink them.

I also created some more ATCs for my collection using the gorgeous Vintage Floral Art Cards printable along with the Word Stripz 1 Card and Craft Sentiments, all from my stash. I think I’ve mentioned that I have become an ATC addict, lol!

2020_0421028

I printed the floral art cards on Classic Linen Solar White cardstock and then cut them apart leaving a tiny bit of a white edge. I cut the ATC bases from 110# Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and ran a black marker around the edge of each. I cut eight one-word sentiments that I wanted to use from the sentiment sheet and ran a black marker around the edge of each of those as well. I adhered a sentiment to each floral panel and then a floral panel to each ATC base. Here are shots of each card:

2020_0421020 2020_0421021 2020_0421022 2020_0421023 2020_0421024 2020_0421025 2020_0421026 2020_0421027

I’m totally loving how these embellishments and ATCs turned out! Can’t wait to use the domes and buttons on some projects, and the ATCs look absolutely amazing in my collector’s notebook! And you guessed it… I’m probably not going to trade any of these ATCs either, lol! ;)
