Making cards

I have been busy making scrapbooks and had a bunch of fun scraps of paper from the new Dear Lizzy collection and decided to play around with them and created a few new cards, here's the first card I made using the papers and some fun little 3-d embellishments for the 2.00 bin at michael's

I think I am in love. You know what I like best is that it's mismatched and the patterns are all over the place (it's a first for me) I usually try and coordinate everything, but I think that pop of black really brings it all together! I dig it! 

I am linking this up to these challenges:

 

4 crafty chicks - anything goes

 

scrap & craft - anything goes

 

crafty gals corner - try something new

Homemade Embellishments

Since I'm a scrapbooker and card maker I sometimes need embellishments to match my cards and layouts so I use my stamps or punches to make some fun flags or embellishments.

I wanted to share how I made some cool ticket embellishments with my stamps - these are from stamping up! And it's meant to be stamped on as 1 unit, it's a Valentine stamp with sweet words all over it, would be cute on its own but I decided to

Cut it up and use each line on its own.

Not only do I get more stamps but I also get to personalize things with just the words I want to use.

See now how cute these tickets are? 

You can use the inside of the tickets for to stamp anything you want on them. Make them for any holiday. Here is another set of stamps I used I the same way..

See how awesome!!!! Anyway they look great on your pages or cards or add them individually to tags and attach them to gifts...the possibilities are endless😊

Happy crafting

Lets make some banners

I want to share a video I made to give you some ideas on creating quick and easy mini banners with things you have around the house, I presume you are living in a crafty house {wink wink}

O.k. in case you want to know specifics before hand so you can be prepared, some items you can use to make these cool banners are felt, paper that has been punched with paper punches, in this case I used a heart punch and of course your sewing machine....

 

 

 

 

later I'll show you where I placed my banners around my house and some other quick decorating ideas.

 

 

Happy crafting - I am linking this up to the parties above.

Burlap dec

So I'm feeling the L💚VE bug right now and have been making some fun Vaelntine's Day goodies.

Look how cute and fun - burlap is an awesome material to make so many cute items. If you like the rustic and shabby look then this would be an ideal fabric to work with. I know these pillows are crude, with some jagged edges but I love it.

This pillow didn't come out exactly as I was hoping for. My machine was acting up. So instead of a nice sewn line around the letters I got this icky mess...from afar it looks o.k. and besides again it goes with my rustic crude charm!

 

I have a fun video to share with you later this week. Of some easy to make mini banners.

 

Happy Crafting.
