Saturday Creations ~ Merry Christmas Wreath

By on December 7, 2013

Hi Everyone! It’s my turn to use the NEW stamp sets from Precious Remembrance called DIY Stamp Set and Border Tape Stamps 1.

I am totally immersed in making my Christmas cards (I need 100! YIKES!) so EVERYTHING looks like an opportunity to make something for Christmas to me ~ even the feather stamp in the DIY set!  (I’ll show you how I used it later in the post.)

 Here’s My Card:

I LOVE how this stamp set is so artsy!

Like I said, the wreath was stamped with the feather stamp and the red “berries” are the medium paint splotches! I LOVE that they aren’t perfect little circles!

I stamped two of the Border Tape stamps, cut them out, and then added the Merry Christmas banner from the PR Holiday Wishes Stamp Set introduced last month.

Here are photos of the stamp sets I used:

Tip – How to make a wreath with the feather stamp:

I cut a small circle out of a post it note (so it would be slightly sticky).

I laid down a mask so just the top of the feather would stamp above the circle.

Then I stamped and stamped until the wreath was as full as I wanted it.

After removing the sticky note, you have a Beautiful wreath ready for the berries!

Why don’t you give it a try?!!

Project Thursday – Inspirational Card

By on December 5, 2013

Hey there!  Can’t believe we are already at another Project Thursday.

I know we are heading into the holidays, but I needed to step away from Christmas cards for a minute.

For this project, I used the DIY set to make an inspirational card.

It is a CAS card with some mini doilies, a button, and some twine.

It’s a dainty little card with a big message.

Now….back to some holiday projects!

Congratulations Card and Border Tapes!

By on December 3, 2013

Hi stampers! I hope you had an awesome weekend with your family and friends.♥ It’s great to be back sharing more projects again!:) Look what I made! I found this adorable paper that will totally remind you of our Border Tape #1 stamp set. Sweet!♥

I just can’t get over with the cuteness of this paper, I thought by adding more of that similar pattern onto my card will make it more fun {or shall we say…inspired by the patterned paper.lol}! I went ahead and grab my border tape stamp set, I did 2nd generation stamping to have that soft look of the borders. Using different colors of inks and layering will give more texture to the stamped image.

I hope you got inspired with my quick project for today.♥

Keep on creating and enjoy the day!

Inspire Me Friday {playin’ around with borders;)}

By on November 29, 2013

Hello, Precious Remembrance fans!!  Happy Friday to YOU!!!  Hope this day finds you with a satisfied tummy and some time to relax!  (Unless you ventured out for some Black Friday deals, that is.  And if you did…well, I’m kind of surprised to see you here…but so happy you made it!!! ) As I type this, my family and I have just wrapped up a long but wonderful day in Disney World!  We’ve followed our oldest down here to watch him perform with the rest of his high school band at Hollywood Studios.  Before we headed out this AM I photographed this card that I brought along on the trip…(and yes, I felt a little silly wandering around my resort, snapping pictures of my little posed card!;)

This one was made made with Dyane’s new Border Tape #1 set.  I hadn’t used this set yet, and the other girls have done such a nice job presenting it in it’s true washi style form that I thought I should play around a little and find another way to use it.  As you can see, I used the patterned sections of border/tape to create little flagged banners for my card.  I then added bits of trim and fabric to add some fun texture, along with the little red heart-shaped button.  Lastly I added some sweet ‘get well’ wishes with a sentiment from the Positive Thoughts set.  It was a really simple design, once I decided what I wanted to do! I love the fun patterns in this set!

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Hope the rest of your weekend is wonderful and full of holiday spirit, wherever you may be!!!

Design It Monday ~ {Inspiration}

By on November 25, 2013

Welcome friends! Isn’t it interesting where we draw our inspiration from as card makers. It might be a challenge graphic or a card from a fellow blogger, something as simple as a word and there’s always Pinterest. The inspiration for my card came from my son! He stopped by last week for lunch and I told him how handsome he looked!  He had on nice gray dress pants, a crisp button up shirt and a striped tie. After he left I had some time for crafting. The patterns in the new {Border Tape #1 } set reminded me of men’s ties. That very thought (along with my well dressed son!) was my inspiration for this masculine card.

I began stamping the images using smokey shadow ink that had been stamped off first for a softer gray color.  Once I had a large enough panel stamped. I die cut it with a notebook die. The ink spots came to be from me reminding my son not to let his rigatoni sauce splatter his tie! The sentiments are from the {Border Tape #1} set and the {Positive Thoughts} set. They’re both popped up with foam tape for added interest.

So just what inspires you to create?

Saturday Creations – {LEARN something new every day}

By on November 23, 2013

Welcome to Saturday Creations where I have used the New DIY Stamp Set from Precious Remembrance to make this CUTE school card!

I LOVE how you can pick and choose the sentiments to create so many different combinations!

I kept this one kinda sweet and simple so the chalkboard technique would stand out and showcase the words.  I also used a mini chalkboard on a tiny clothespin to add a FUN detail to my card!

I hope you like it and I know you are going to LOVE this stamp set:

Tip ~ When you pair the words from this stamp set with papers that have a school theme, you can easily make a school themed card without a lot of extra steps.   I hope you like it!  THX for stopping by!

Project Thursday – Library Style Journal Cards

By on November 21, 2013

For this weeks Project Thursday at Precious Remembrance Stamp Shop, I put together this set of journaling cards.  Project Life type scrapbooking albums are quite popular right now and I used both of the newly release sets on these.

Border Tape #1 & DIY

I took some cream library cards and trimmed them down to the standard 3″ x 4″ size and rounded the edges.  Then I added a few stamped images and paper to them – leaving just enough space for some journaling on each one.  The great thing about these too, is that the back can also be journaled on or even decorated because of the set up of the albums and the pockets the cards fit in.

This set will be perfect for scrapping back to school, don’t you think?

 

These are a lot of fun to make and they are a great way to use up small scraps of the designer papers that I know we all have.  You can make them ahead too!

Inspire Me Friday {Angles}

By on November 15, 2013

Good Friday morning to you, Crafters!!!  Delighted to be here sharing my latest project with the new DIY set!  This is such an ‘artsy’ looking set!  You mixed media people would have a hay-day with it!  Unfortunately, I don’t have any of those cool new mixed media supplies…yet…(I COULD be tempted, though;), but I did want my card to have an ‘artsy’ feel to it, so I settled on the colors of aqua, gray and silver.  And I’ve been awfully inspired by all the angles I’ve been seeing out there these days…decided to go with that trend also…

You can see I went with the ‘LEARN’ sentiment for my focal point.  I obviously wanted that to have an upward slant, and highlighted it’s positive message with some little chevron style arrows from the border included in the set.  (Learning new things always takes us in a positive direction, don’t you think?)  I played around a little and felt it looked nicer for that sentiment and it’s angle to stand out from the feathers in my background, so I stamped it separately and adhered it to my panel, giving the little arrows some additional dimension with foam tape.  Then I played with two different silver papers I had to add more layers, angles and dimension…

I finished it off by stamping the ‘something new everyday’ sentiment on the card base, and adding a few sequins, and I don’t know about those…I feel like I never have the exact color I need in the exact size I need…but it did need just a dab of further embellishing, and I think it looks better with than without;)  I appreciate you stopping in today!  There’s lots more inspiration to come from the other gals with this new set and the new Border Tape 1 set, so…stay tuned!
