Papercraft Business - To Give as a Gift

Hello once again! I'm so glad you stopped in! I'm here today to share with you another monthly project with Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! This month, our theme is To Give as a Gift! So I made a memo pad with a card, as a stocking stuffer for someone special (no names yet...lol). Here is what I made:

Memo Pad with Card

This was something I learned how to do via YouTube (gotta love YouTube!). Of course, I added my own papers, etc, but the basic plan was from YouTube. The papers are from the Holiday Cheer Paper Collection from Close to My Heart (jeanieellis.closetomyheart.com). I hope that you'll check that out too! 

Now let's take a look at this awesome stamp made by Magnolia:

Papercraft Challenge - October - Tag You're It!

Hello, fellow crafters! Today is the mid-month reminder of our challenge over at Papercraft Business Blog!  Be sure to read over the rules, as they have been slightly changed. We have an awesome prize for the winner of October's Challenge, but first let me share with you my Tag.

So I decided on this one, that I wasn't going to use an image, but use what supplies I had in my stash. Sometimes we forget the items there, so I wanted to be sure to use them. I first layered the tag with some paper, then added some lace from KPKre8tions. (Be sure to check her out...she has some amazing things!) I then added my embellishments on top of that, and then the ribbon for hanging.

Now let me share with you, the Prize: Magnolia Doohickey's

Papercraft Business Challenge #22 - There's a Bear There!

Hello, fellow crafters! This is the beginning of a new challenge over at Papercraft Business Challenge Blog!   This month, we're doing cards (or anything crafty) with the Theme of There's a Bear There! Such a cute theme, too! But first, check out the Giveaway for this month by Whimsy Stamps:

I have to admit, I don't do a lot of bears, so I didn't have many in my files. But I did come across a real cutie by Pickled Potpourri. And I totally love it! Now, I couldn't find a link for that bear in the shop, so it may have been retired. I've apparently had it longer than I thought. Anyway, I'm sure there are plenty more over there! 

So here is my birthday card: 

I call him Happy Birthday Bear.  I used my Spectrum Noir color markers to color him in. Then I used an SVG file on my Silhouette Cameo 3 to cut out the easel card. I basically just had to glue it all together (love the cut files!! ).  I used the pink designer paper from my stash that I got from Close To My Heart as a Consultant. (I recently joined up again....I really love their papers!)

I hope that you will check out all of the Design Team blogs over at Papercraft Business Challenge! There are some really awesome projects in there! And be sure to join us for this month's challenge! Thank you for stopping by!

Papercraft Business Challenge - Theme is CIRCLES!

Hello everyone! And welcome to another monthly challenge over at Papercraft Business Challenge Blog!   I love making shaker cards, and this one is no exception! And wow! Take a look at this awesome prize!

August Challenge Prize: Whimsy Stamps - Wee Florist

So let me share with you now what I made for the Use a Circle Challenge:

I used a thin cuts die and foam to make my Shaker as the circle for my card. I cut out a banner for the side of the card and placed my circle on the card base. Inside the shaker I added sequins, then placed rhinestones around that. The sentiment was easy, as it was part of the paper pack that I got from Crafty City.  Take a look there....there's a lot of beautiful paper there! I also added some tiny mirrors I had in my stash for more "bling". 

There you have it! I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge!

Papercraft Business Challenge - Up in the Air

Hello, crafty friends! Today begins a new monthly challenge over at the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! Our theme for this month is....UP IN THE AIR! What a fun thing to work on! Before you read on, check to see if you were a winner for last month's challenge over at the Papercraft Blog! Here is the prize for this month's challenge:

What great projects you could make with this one! Now on to my project:

For this challenge, I decided to go with a tag. I already had in my stash some Julie Netting product, which included a wooden doll with a kite. I should have taken a before picture of it, but I forgot.  So I've linked it to the Prima website HERE. This is the tag I made:

For the tag base, I used some of the pre-cut tags from Julie Nutting. I got out my Distress Oxide Inks...LOVE them...and added various colors. I then got out my wooden doll and kite and colored them with my Spectrum Noir color markers. With that done, I added some stamps and embellishments. Instead of adding lace at the bottom, I just used a floral acrylic stamp. And she was done! Easy peasy, right? (Although the ink seemed to bleed a little, it ended up better than I thought it would.)

I hope that you will join us for the July challenge! Up in the Air could mean anything....a kite, a butterfly, a plane, etc....You choose and show us what you created! Thank you for stopping by!

(Optional: Christmas Animal – For an extra entry to WIN the prize).

The winning prize: Lawn Fawn – Alpaca Stamps

 Now, you might think that a Christmas Animal is probably a reindeer, or maybe a penguin or even a polar bear. But not so with my card! I have one called Christmas Kitty by Mary Smith of Createful Heart Designs. Here it is:

As you can see, I've used a lot of glitter on this card, including the stickles and the paper! But Christmas is glittery too, isn't it?? I used markers to color everything in (no, no Copics or Spectrum Noir...would love some, but...!). 

I love the glow of the fire surrounding the fireplace! I hope that this card has inspired you to join in on the fun!

Papercraft Business Challenge #8 - Anything Goes!

Hello, fellow crafters! Today begins the new challenge (#8) for the month of July over at Papercraft Business Challenge Blog! We have an awesome prize to give away, too! A Magnolia Doohickey Tilda Doily! 

I decided that, rather than making a card this time around, I would make a Julie Nutting tag, using some elements from a kit I had bought. Here is my tag:

I used some Tim Holtz Ink Oxides for the background and then sprinkled a little bit of water onto the tag. I then stamped a "paragraph" stamp onto the top of that. I colored my wooden Julie Nutting doll with alcohol markers, set her aside a bit to dry, and then found embellishments I wanted to use with her. After she dried, I cut a flower in half, glued them onto each side of the tag, then added her. The laces, etc, didn't take long to put together since I already had out what I wanted to use.

I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! And check out each of the Design Teams projects! THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Papercraft Business Challenge #7!

Hello, fellow crafters! I'm so excited to share with you this month's challenge over at Papercraft Business Challenge Blog!  

And not only that, a prize to be given away too! Before I get into the challenge, let me show you what the prize is for this month's winner:

This die coordinates with the stamp set "Believe in Yourself". What a great prize! Now let me tell you about the challenge.

This month's challenge is to use your oldest paper and tell us a bit about it. You know how you have paper in your stash and you wonder why you bought it?? Or you bought some gorgeous paper and you just hate to use it?? So they've been in your stash awhile....I have some of that! My paper is at least 5 years old (maybe older, but I'm not sure anymore. Lol). It's from The Paper Studio and is called Kellerkurtz & Company. It really is pretty paper, but it wasn't one of my favorites. I like heavier paper, and this is pretty thin. And I still have a ton of it left! So here is what I did:  a very good friend of mine...my BFF actually...sent me this link to make a Six Fold Card. I thought this would be the perfect project for this paper! Here is my card:

Unfolded

Opened

Now, I have to tell you, this looked pretty complicated to do, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. My BFF has a lot more confidence in me than I do! Lol. As it turned out, it was really easy! If you want to try this, here is the link to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts tutorial HERE.

You see the embellishments inside (the flowers and the bees)? I've had those awhile too. My sister had given me 2 sets of these. While I used one of them, I wasn't so sure I'd ever use the other set. So they've been in my stash awhile too (maybe 3 years). So I put them onto my paper and colored them in with my Ohuhu markers.

I hope that you will join us in the challenge! When you do enter, be sure you read the rules! In this new challenge, we need to know how old your paper is and what it is. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
