you’re the best {saturday creations}

By on May 18, 2013

I still don’t have the newest Precious Remembrance set, but that doesn’t mean I can’t provide a little inspiration with some of our older sets.

I used “positive thoughts” and “mom & dad“, along with some lawn fawn speech bubbles  to create this fun little card.

True story: I actually created this card for the 10 minute craft dash this week, but ran into two problems.

  1. it took me closer to 30 minutes to get this one done, and
  2. i should have looked up the color palette before I got started.  making a card in 10 minutes in hard enough!  it should just be a free-for-all every time *wink*

Sooo, I made another card for the dash (you saw it *here*) and I’m sharing this one today.

 I hope you like it!

Project Thursday {Fuzzy Wuzzy}

By on May 16, 2013

Click here to see Dyane’s 10 Minute Craft Dash Card.
———————————————————————————————-
“…was a bear; Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair; Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy…or was he?”

Have you heard the above silly rhyme before? It always tickled me pink when one of my friends said in a super funny voice. ;)

Anyways, as I was thinking about what in particular I should write about for today’s card, that just kinda popped in my head, and I thought I’d just go with the flow. ;) Meet my Fuzzy Wuzzy…

I used the adorable Little One stamp set to stamp the bear on some fuzzy acetate I had..

You can kinda see the fuzz a little bit better here – this Fuzzy Wuzzy bear actually is fuzzy. ;)

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope you enjoyed my silly post!

Tuesday Ideas {paper piecing}

By on May 14, 2013

It’s Kim here to share with you a Tuesday Ideas creation featuring the newest stamp to arrive at the Precious Remembrance shop. Little One is such a darling stamp set full of adorable sentiments and images for baby.

To me, a newborn baby girl has the prettiest color palette in her wardrobe. Soft pastels, pretty pinks, buttery yellows. Those colors just make me happy. For my project today, I’ve created a gift set for baby using the same soft color palette. How could I resist?

For my card, I used Little One to stamp a row of pink stars onto pale pink cardstock. Then I stamped borders in turquoise onto coordinating cardstock. The bear? Yes, she is paper pieced. I started by stamping her in pink patterned paper. Next, I stamped her belly onto a floral pattern paper, cut it out, then adhered it directly over the pink paper. I repeated this process for her bow tie and mouth.

I just love paper piecing! It’s such a great way to really customize your stamping to coordinate your projects (especially if you don’t have a large marker selection in your stash, like me).

To accompany my card is a small glassine bag that’s the perfect size for a tiny gift. Small socks, a onesie, how about some cotton balls, or baby powder. Just dress up the packaging with a paper doily and ribbon, add a sentiment from Little One and complete it with a mini wooden clothespin.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s creation and have fun adding a little paper piecing onto your projects!

Cardmaking Tutorial : Happy Mother’s Day

By on May 1, 2013

Hello everyone! Dyane here for today’s Create It Wednesday. First of all, I would like to say thank you to Designer Andrea for giving us sooo much inspiration since Day 1.  We will surely miss her weekly blog here with us, but for sure we can visit her creative blog anytime.

A new designer will be joining us next week, and I’m super excited for you to meet her. Can’t wait!^_^ Now, on to my project….

You know how much I love my kraft paper for my card base, but today I won’t be using it! Surprise surprise!^_^

This paper is a little bit glossy and has some horizontal patterns on it, as you can see, totally darling. I’m trying to achieve a softer look, just perfect for spring!^_^

Mother’s day is on May 12,2013. Any gift ideas that you can share? How about start it by making some handmade goodies, that would be really special!♥

I created a quick and easy video tutorial for you to enjoy, a simple one layer card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!♥ Hugs!!!^_^

Tuesday Ideas {colorful layers}

By on April 30, 2013

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you! It’s Kim here to share with you a Tuesday Ideas creation. And today’s project is all about layers.

I just love adding layers to my cards. In fact, sometimes it’s difficult for me to stop adding layers. Although I understand that this style can be intimidating to some, I will share with you my method for piling on the layers without going overboard.

With spring in the air, our family has started going on bike rides again. It feels so good to be outside when the weather has started to warm up. With that idea in mind, I found inspiration for my card today.

I started with a three-part color theme in blue, red, and yellow. For me, choosing my color theme first helps me to stay focused when gathering coordinating ribbons, trims, and buttons. With color in mind, I can quickly scan my craft room for matching embellishments and avoid any supplies that are not in my color theme.

After putting all my layers together, I completed my card by adding the “enjoy” sentiment from the Calendar Stamp set, “fun times” from the Friend Stamp set, and the yellow polka-dot heart from the Love Stamp set. Each perfect for a spring time card!

So…even though there are many layers on my card, it all came together rather quickly because I had a color theme in mind. I hope you’ll try this method out next time you’re feeling a bit crafty.

Thanks for joining me today!

Design It Monday ~ {Texture}

By on April 29, 2013

Did you ever notice the texture that spring brings with it? The once dormant grass becomes lush and soft underfoot, bare tree branches evolve into wispy limbs full of delicate new leaves, bumble bees buzz through the air, their legs fuzzy with pollen, from one spring bloom to the next. The list goes on and on as the earth awakens to the warmth of the season. I wanted to put those spring textures to good use in my final card featuring the Mom & Dad stamp set!

I’ve combined sunny yellow and warm peach tones on a light and airy card. The design is anchored with a delicate paper doily, adorned with soft fuzzy elements and topped with sunny accents. A breath of fresh spring air, don’tcha think! Thanks for visiting today!
