Episode 130: One Layer Masculine Birthday Card


Hi All,


Today I wanted to try my hand at making Clean and Simple Birthday Cards.

This may be a simple card but it was a challenge as i find it hard not to add lots of embellishments and other do-dads. I've been pinning some inspiration over on my pinterest board, so maybe I will have a few more of these types of cards in the future

The entire project was less than 5 minutes start to finish, I didn't even have to edit the video which is a huge time saver

I hope you like it

Episode 129 One layer Birthday Card & Winner!


Hi All,

Today I'm contining with Birthday Theme Projects and here is a one layer card that I wanted to share.

I cannot express how vibrant and shimmery this card is in person. It really has alot of sparkle and is WOW to look at.

I think it's thanks to the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Glitter Glue combo!!

I wanted to keep the colors fun and gender netural because I do not yet have a recipiant for this card in mind.

Episode 128: Birthday Cake Card using Miss Kate Cuttables

Hey Everyone

I took the last few days off since my little one had her first days of school and it was emotially and physically exhausting for me (very early mornings!!!!)

I will add the photos that I took on the first day onto my School scrapbook Album. I'm having them printed via the Groovebook Iphone App. Once my photos come in I will post more about that


This week I am moving onto Birthday Theme Projects!

This project was inspired by my old sketchbook that I found when my sister was helping me clean/organize my craft room. Many Sketch Gems in that book that I will be working out of slowly but surely.

Here is my project

Episode 127: Simple Apple Teacher Card

Hi Everyone,


Today I have another project to share with you. I am still going with the Back to School theme and I was going through my Stash and I found some adorable Simple Stories Papers from the Summer Fresh Collection


Although the collection is designed for "Summer", I think that the color palate is perfect for the transition into fall and most importantly back to school.

I combined my Summer Fresh papers with Some red Cardstock from the American Crafts Earth Tone Variety Pack

Episode 126: Soak up the Sun Beach Scrapbook Layout




Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a very relaxing Labor Day weekend.

Today I am sharing a scrapbook page that I made using some Miss Kate Cuttables. If you have never used her files. I can tell you that you are honestly missing out. She has the cutest cutting files that I have ever seen online. And that's the honest truth.

I recently went to the beach with my family, so I decided to make a fun summery scrapbook page to save my memories.


For my Layout I used the Beach Girl

available from The Silhouette Studio online  Store (here
or 
from Miss Kate Cuttables (here)
***
  Soak up the Sun title

Available from the Silhouette online Store (here)- as the tile only
or 
The Miss Kate's Cuttables Store(here) with the shown additional cuts
***
for my background I used

Miss Kate Background set of 6


available from the Silhouette online store (here)
or
The Miss Kate's Cuttables Store (here)


I used the Silhouette Cameo Print and Cut Feature for the title and the girl and I cut the Background shape normally using some Hot Pink American Crafts Cardstock

The Designer paper is from KI Memories- Toy Box 
The Kraft, Blue White and Yellow Cardstock is from Recollections
The Orange Cardstock is from American Crafts Earth Tones

I used my Fiskars Apron Lace punch to create the white borders on each page
Stiching made using my Signio Uniball White Gel pen
