Thinking of You...

Today is Thoughtful Thursday. We were to make a card with the theme of Get Well, Thinking of You, Sympathy, or something else along that line. Here is the card I made. Hope you like it.

I love when printing papers at home, they just work perfectly for you! I printed a 6x6 page of papers from Carta Bella's Beautiful Moments. This flower flourish fit perfectly right in the corner...so I used it! It was so pretty as is and couldn't see cutting it up. 

Here is the element I created to go with it. I LOVE how Miss Emma's entire store works so well together. I used several dies, some new and some old....but they go together so great! Miss Emma showed a bit in her video from yesterday how to shorten or lengthen when cutting with her dies. I did that with the open scallop piece in the rust color. I added one more scallop to it to make it just a tad bit longer. I then layered them all together and used dimensional adhesive under the layers.

This picture gives a better look at all the dimension. I also inked the edges a bit to add to the dimension. Added a dark brown pearl to the center of the flower and called this element done!

These sentiments in this set are one of my absolute favorite stamp sets from Emma. I love the font and love the size of the sentiments. They give such a substantial appearance. 

So...here is a list of the products I used to create this card.

Flower Petal Dies

Treat Slider Box Die

Floral Sentiments

Echo Bella ~ Beautiful Moments

I hope you enjoyed my card today. I hope that you will give some of these products a try. Or use what you have to recreate something similar.  Happy Crafting!

Speedy Recovery...

Here's another card I made today. Hope you like!

 

 

This another card using the set of A2 Cards For All Occasions from SVGCuts. I love the swirly frame card fronts. They come with a cute element to add after you attach the card front. Very quick and easy cards...but you can jazz them and add more details if you want. I used my white gel pen to add some stitching lines.

 

I added a cute button using a die from My Creative Time. Love them! Tied it with a bit of twine. Love the white gel pen too!

 

 I used the mustache dies and turned them upside down to use as leaves for my flower. Just cut a narrow strip of paper for the stem. I think it's cute!!!

I used the label dies and butterfly die from MCT along with a sentiment. I just love how all of Emma's products work together...the new with the old. You should give her stuff a try, you won't regret it!

And to finish off the inside...three little buttons. 

So...here is a list of products I used to create this card.

Gather up what you have and make some cards like this. So fast and easy....make them as detailed as you'd like. Happy crafting! 

 

 

 

Silver Lining...

I took some time today and must made cards. I pulled out some old files from SVGCuts and using new papers and adding some extras to them, they came out really nice and fresh looking. I hope you like them. Here's the first. 

 

The card set is called A2 Cards For All Occasions. They have these nice swirly card fronts and then little pieces to add on top. This one has a cute flower for the corner. I cut the one sized as is in the file, then I scaled it down and cut two smaller.

 

 

I layered them and trimmed off what hung over the edge. I added a button from My Creative Time with some orange hemp. I added a bit of white gel pen for accents.

 

 

My label and stamp are also from My Creative Time. Love these stitched labels, they are so perfect for layering and make the sentiment look so pretty. I popped it up on dimensional adhesive.

 

 

I had an extra flower from the front that cut wrong. No worries...it fit nicely on the inside corner. Nice to put a special something on the inside.

 

So...here's what I used to create this card.

Hippity Hoppity....

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a crafty week! Did you like the new release? Wasn't it fantastic! I'm having so much fun still playing with some of it. I have another project to share with you today, on this 3D Wednesday.

Here's a cut little box that only takes one 12x12 sheet of paper.  I went through my digital files and printed off a piece from Echo Park's Country Drive. So Springy! 

I used some new and some old in this project. I love the bit of colored twine on here, just says Spring to me. How cute is that little button?!

I used the egg dies from a set from last year. I also used one of the stamps to stamp the design, and used clear embossing powder just so they had that extra something. Love the little chocolate bunnies tucked in there! Makes me want one of those hollow chocolate things...bite off an ear...lol! Stamped the sentiment and layered to of the banners together. Curled it on the ends and in the center to make it look like a banner for real.

One of my favorite set from the new release is the buttons!!! Such a little thing adds such cuteness. And I love that it matches perfectly....and that little stitching is to die for! Did you notice the bottom edge? Yep, it's one of the banner dies. I cut enough for each side, to finish the bottom edge a bit.

Fill it up with some Easter candy or a small toy or whatever you'd like. Being these are so fast and only take one sheet of paper, you could whip out a bunch of these really fast for students, co-workers or neighbors. Have fun, decorate them in your own style. The file from SVGCuts has a window in the lid, but I wanted to use these dies, so I cut it out in blackout style, getting rid of the window. But it's super cute with the egg shaped window too...you could do either. 

So, here's what you'll need to recreate this little box.

 I used a file from SVGCuts to make this cauldron. I love this little box and have made it a lot. You really can make it for any reason or season, changing up the papers will really make it special and not look like a cauldron...lol. I filled it with gold wrapped kisses to make it really look like a pot of gold....they are the chocolate with almond ones.

I used the new ticket dies and stamped my image. I used dimensional adhesive to layer the tag and used hot glue to attach it to the box. The shamrocks are also a new die. I added glitter just to the very centers of the petals and added a gold pearl to the center. I wrapped twine around the rim several times and tied bows at the handles. I coiled up two layers of wire, punched holes in the rim and twisted the ends of the wire to attach it to the pot.

This tag die is also new...love it! Makes for a super nice little extra to tie on any project. This little stamp is
from one of Emma's older sets. I love how you can incorporate what you may already have with the new. Don't forget to use your older sets....they are just as great as the new! I tied this on with some hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Well...today is the final day of sneaky peeks for this release. Haven't you just loved everything?! I tell you....some really CUTE stuff. Today, I am using the Treat Slider treat box. Such a cute little box for a bit of goodies. 

 Isn't this cute?! I love how it turned out. I used a lot of the new stuff but threw in some older as well.  I just love these little keys....they add such cuteness!!!

 This is one of the new dies and new stamp in this release. I added this with some dimensional adhesive under it. I tucked that little key right under it...so cute!

Here is the other two keys in the set and I added a bit of hemp tied in a little bow. It's from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

This 3D flower is so perfect to add to any little project. I used my chunky glass glitter to give it a sugared look. Looks good enough to eat...lol! I layered it on top of the Scallop & Stitched Circle Dies. I love all the layer look on this piece...even though it's small, you can really jazz it up. If you look close, you can see that I used the Stitched Doily Die underneath all of it, wrapped around the lid piece. Such cuteness!

And then there's the goodies inside! Who doesn't want a bit of candy once in awhile?! This will hold 4 of the chocolate nuggets you can get at the grocery. It comes with two different types of wrappers for the nuggets. I used the scallop edged one. The other is plain and could have a sentient stamped on it. What a cute way to give a little treat that could be for any occasion.

So, here's the list of what I used.

Oh my heavens...hold on to your hat! This release will blow your mind! And I'm not kidding. Today is another peek at some amazing new stamps and dies. I know you will see lots of cool stuff and get some great ideas to use in your own crafting. 

Today, we are showcasing the Fun Tickets and the Fun Ticket Dies. Yowzers...are they ever cool!  Here is what I made for you.

I made a 3D shadowbox type card that will fold flat for mailing and then pop back open to stand. I used a file from SVGCuts and cut it in blackout so I could use the die from MCT to cut the opening. I printed some cute digital paper in the mustache theme...HOT right now! The first thing I did was use the Stitched XL Label die to cut a hole, centered in the front panel of the card. Then I did the same to the orange piece of cardstock using the XL Label die. I lined that up to frame the first cut, made tic marks where I wanted to trim it down, and glued it to the front. I then lined the inside back with the printed mustache paper. I cut the three mustaches from three colored papers to coordinate, and attached them to the back with dimensional adhesive, then closed up the box.

This pic gives you a better look at the 3D style of card. And you can see a bit better how I layered the two openings. 

Get a look at these stamps and dies!!! OMGosh...how cute are they?! I chose Cool Dad and It's Your Day to create a Fathers Day card. Or you could use this for a birthday card too. I layered the two die pieces with dimensional adhesive, stamped and cut out a few mustaches from an older set, added some hemp with a button. LOVE these stamps and dies!

Here is a look at the back of the box/card, I stamped Happy Fathers Day and the mustache and left enough space to write a little note. Then, at the bottom, I used the XL Label Dies again to make a pocket. I used Scor Tape only at the bottom and on the sides. This allows you to slip in the Free Admission tickets. This will be given along with movie passes for a date night. How cute is this to give some movie passes? Love it, don't you?

This collage gives you a closer look at this pocket. Love how the XL Label Die worked perfect for this...makes for a super cute little pocket, I'd say!

I hope you like what I made for you to see this part of the new release. Make sure you check out what the other design team members made as well. You won't be disappointed. Also, leave your comments for your chance to win the give away Miss Emma will be having. It will be fantastic....it always is!

So, here is what I used to create this project.

First time in the snow...

Here we are again, another day for scrapping the little things! Hey, at least I am getting a few layouts done. More than I've ever done...lol. Anyway, I have a layout today for you of my little Miss Aleida's first experience with snow. At first she liked....well, I'll explain as we go...how 'bout that.

I chose three photos that best portrayed her experience. Gotta love this girl. 

I used the Build A Banner Kit to make three little flags up in this corner. I had some snowflake buttons in my stash and added a bit of hemp from Liz's Paper Loft. I cut a second set of the bottom layer in a darker color and offset them just enough to give a shadow. 

I cut three of the postage frames and laid them over the picture to get just what I wanted. I arranged them so that the cut out areas matched each other to almost make little circles. I popped them up on dimensional adhesive.

This stamp said it all! Nothing else could be added, lol! She was fine until she fell and got her hands in the snow. At this time we had not gotten her mittens yet...just the snow suit. She did not like it and didn't know what to think. How bad were we to laugh at her tears...sure she will forgive us...lol! To get the sentiment to fit in this label die, I did the first cut with half of the die hanging off the edge of the cutting plates...this way that end wouldn't cut. I needed it longer. Then for the second cut, I rotated the die and lined up the sides and scooted it down a bit to be longer. This time I left that end hanging over the cutting plate. When you crank it through it now cuts the opposite end and you end up with a longer version of this label die. Sometime I will do it again with step by step photos to show you. Didn't get it done for this post....sorry....look for it coming very soon!

I love this photo! She is looking right at us, thinking...This stuff tastes pretty good! I might add that I had handed her this snow ball and it was before she fell. Guess she trusted NeNe with what I was giving her. I added a bow of some crinkled seam binding ribbon with another snowflake button and a tiny bow of hemp. 

For my journaling mat, I used the two XL label die and the journaling stamp from Cherish This Moment stamp set. It fits in here perfectly! I will be doing my journaling for Aleida to read....don't really want it all out there for the world to see....lol!

So, here are the sets I used for this layout.
