Papercraft Business Challenge #6

Hi, crafters! How exciting! We're already on a new challenge - #6 to be exact! I can hardly believe this makes 6 months since we've started these. Once again, these challenges are always ANYTHING GOES; however, we offer twists as well. This one is no exception: the twist is Mother's Day! It can be a card, scrapbook page, mixed media, tag, a 3D project....Anything (family friendly, of course!)

The prize for this month is a great Lawn Fawn Mother's Day Border Die. 

Now let me share with you my project. It's something I haven't done in a long time, so it took me 3 tries to get the shape right. I thought a Tussie Mussie would be an awesome, elegant, classy way to give Mom a special way to hide a Mother's Day gift inside! Here it is:

Front

Back

I had to show the back of the Tussie, as the lace is so beautiful and elegant. I got it from a place on Facebook known as Pamela Joys House of Art and Design. 

So I started off by gathering some Prima paper I had in my stash, about a 9x9 sheet. I rolled it from one corner to the other, and shaped it into a cone as I went along. It took me 3 tries, but I finally managed it! I'm sure there's an easier way! Haha

I then glued it together and punched holes on either side of the top and strung my lace handle through that. To cover the inside to hide the lace "knots" to hold the handle on, I added more lace to the inside top. I then trimmed the top outside edge with my gorgeous lace and then with the dangly pearls. I added bling to the front of the tussie, and also added a hanging charm from the bottom of it with lace around that.

I sure hope you will join us for this month's challenge! We love to see what you create! Thank you for stopping by! I would love it if you would subscribe to my blog!

Papercraft Business Challenge #5 - April

PAPERCRAFT BUSINESS CHALLENGE #5 – APRIL

Welcome to our newest Challenge! For the month of April challenge the theme is: Anything Goes (Optional: Birthday – For an extra entry to WIN the prize).

The winning prize will be this cute stamp set: Lawn Fawn – Duh Nuh

Isn't it just adorable?? Wouldn't you love to be the winner of this prize? Now let me show you what I did for the Anything Goes - Birthday twist:

While my card is not on the "whimsical" side, it is, however, a birthday card for some lovely lady, young or old. I did several layers with pearls and flowers for my embellishments, plus added a cut-out "postage" stamp on the bottom right corner of my card.

Now it’s your turn. What are you going to share with us so that you have the chance at winning the prize? Remember, if you would like TWO chances at winning the prize, you need to create a project using this months challenge theme: Birthday.

See you there! And thanks for stopping by!

Papercraft Business Challenge #3

Hello, crafters! Today begins a new challenge over at the Papercraft Business Blog!  With that said, it's an ANYTHING GOES with the optional theme of Love/Valentine's Day. If you do the optional theme, you win an extra entry! We hope you will join us! Now on to my project:

I wanted to make a different kind of card than I had ever made before. I found this awesome tutorial from a YouTube channel of Maymay Made It! Click HERE. Here is my card:

Of course, I made a few little adjustments for what I wanted, but the concept is the same. I also used vellum inside and a couple of tealights. One tealight might have worked, but hey...the brighter the prettier it became! It was so easy to do and a lot of fun!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to join in on our challenges! We'd love to see your creation!

Now let me share with you what I did for this project:

Now, before I go any further, I want to let you know that I got the idea for this card from a YouTube video HERE. The big difference is that I didn't have the slider die cuts, so I just adjusted my card to do it by hand. 

I'd like to share with you my video demonstrating what my card does when "in action". CLICK HERE.

I hope that you will join in on our challenge! There are always prizes to be given away!

Since the Theme is an Anything Goes with an Optional Christmas, I chose to do a Christmas. And it came right at the time I was getting ready for a craft purse swap! So I decided to go with the purse as my very first project with the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! Here it is:

The winning prize is: Magnolia Designs – Christmas Eve Edwin stamp

Since the Theme is an Anything Goes with an Optional Christmas, I chose to do a Christmas. And it came right at the time I was getting ready for a craft purse swap! So I decided to go with the purse as my very first project with the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! Here it is:

Purse Front

Purse Back

"Coin" Purse

Purse Tags

I got the purse kit from Reneabouquets. Very easy piece to put together. So getting right to papering it and embellishing it was awesome! As I can be very impatient sometimes to get the embellishing started! And the paper all came from Secret Garden Crafty City. 

I went with pretty simple embellishing on the tags, as I wanted the beautiful prints on the paper to show up. I hope you enjoyed looking at my project, and that you will join us in our first ever challenge!
