3 Layer "Thinking of You"

Hello everyone, today's card was designed for Victorine Originals 3 Layer challenge that is going on right now on the VO Challenge Blog.

For my card today I used the Beautiful "Thinking of You" stamp that can be found at VOstore. I stamped it in Craft ink from SU! and used Creative Inspirations Clear embossing powder on top, then heated it up to make it clear. Next I did some dusting with distressed inks, and then colored some of the swirly vine with copics. For the flowers I used the Cosmos,Sweetheart flowers. and brown leaves from Really Reasonable Ribbon, along with the Brown Gingham ribbon. All can be found here!

The design paper I used is from American Crafts and is from the 6 x 6 paper pad called Crate Paper Farmhouse.

I hope you will join us at Victorine Originals 3 Layer challenge, and thank you for stopping by!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

1st Project Life

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with my 1st Project Life page designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon. This will be for my youngest daughter Breanna. 

I have never thought of making project life before since its a simple way of scrapbooking. But just recently I started working at American Crafts Warehouse Sale, and everyone is buying it up. So I thought maybe I could get creative and add stuff I love working with in this album. For my 1st page this is a little simple, but I will be working on adding other goodies to these pages for this album. 

I left off all writing, it will go on the insert with the B. Next The title will go where my watermark is. I'm going to combine this with layouts as well, so it wont be a weekly journal like most are doing, its going to be more like a scrapbook, but done a little differently...hehehehe

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon,Lace, and trim on my inserts here.

Supply List:

5/8" Brown Crocheted Lace

Pink Gingham 5/8"

Pink Box Pleated Trim

Bead Trim (Pink)

Other supplies Used:

Project Life Page Protector

Project Life Baby Girl Insert Cards

CottageCutz Vintage Vanity Die

CIP's Angel Dust

Glue Pad

American Crafts Pink Polka Dot flowers

Flower buttons with shanks removed

Sticker 

Clear Embossing Powder CIP's

Vintage White Lace, My stash

For the  CottageCutz vanity I colored it with cip's pink, and then used the glue pad to add glue to my pieces, and lastly added the Angel Dust Glitter to give the look to the vanity. The mirror was colored with a blue and grey copic marker, and then again rubbed the glue pad over it, and added clear embossing powder and heated, to give its look.

Next the cushion top for the stool,I added glitter glass to it.

For the area with the White Vintage Lace, I just glued the lace down first, then added the brown RRR Lace, then the Bead trim. I will add a Title to this area later on. I was thinking of Playtime. Not sure though yet :)

I hope you enjoyed today's post, this is very new to me, as I have never done Project Life before, but again was inspired by so many customers to try it out :) Also I think this would be a better way for me to scrap for my son, as I need it to be pretty simple. However We can always add Beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon to any project :)

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Bella Ornate Birdcage Card

Hello everyone, here is a card I designed for CottageCutz using the Beautiful Bella Spring Corners, CottageCutz fancy Ornate Birdcage , CottageCutz Oval Doily and Frame die. Also my card was designed for Creative Inspiration Paints, using their beautiful shimmery paints, and embossing powders.

On my card I first picked a super darling dp, and then decided to layer the Bella Spring corners from each corner to give an added layer over my dp. I love the loo it gives, and you are still able to see the design on the paper.

For the Birdcage I cut it in black, and then embossed it with a Black Embossing powder from Creative Inspiration Paints. I LOVE the look of embossing the diecutz and love that they are EASY to cut out!

I next Used the Beautiful Ribbons and flowers that Really Reasonable Ribbon carries for my card today. This card was a super simple card to make, as there is no sewing and pretty much one layer of dp, so makes for a easy layout!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Sweet Glitzy Carriage

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday to all!!

Today I wanted to share the SWEET CottageCutz Horse & Carriage Die, along with the NEW Bella Spring Corner, both of them have LOTS of Creative Inspiration Paints "Resplendence Angel Dust" on them. 

I Love the look of all the shimmer and glitz this gives. Of course I got glitter everywhere in my craft room, even on the CAT! Oh boy, poor baby!!LOL You think after all these years he would learn not to sit underneath me.....LOL oh well...

All the ribbons and trims are from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I used the Silky Crush, Pink Leaves, White Sheer Box Pleated Trim. I use the Box Pleated Trim to make flowers. I LOVE making handmade ribbon flowers, I think they give that added touch to your cards, and mini albums.

In the bottom photo its really hard to see any of it. I think due to the angle of the photo. Anyways I had a lot of fun designing this card, and thank you for looking!!!!

Hugs to all,

First thing I did was cut out my CottageCutz Filigree butterfly Trio in Yellow. Then airbrushed it with brown, and then added some beautiful Tan CIP's Paint over the yellow up towards the brown edges. Next I added some Deliquesce Gold Crystals Sparkle to the wings, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this look!!!

In this photo you can see I added more Tan Creative Inspiration Paints to the flowers as well. I ended up dusting them with the paint. All die cutz are from The Scrapping Cottage.

RRR Happy Mothers Day Card/Video

Hello Friends!!!

Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Beautiful Ribbons and Pom Pom Mini trim that Bonnie carries at the shop. In the picture above you can see the beautiful shimmer somewhat of the Creative Inspiration paints Angel Dust Resplendence Glitter that I used on the leaves. I love the look and in person its sooo pretty!!!

For my card I used Really Reasonable Ribbon Red Mini Pom Pom Trim to create the centers of the flowers. The flowers are CottageCutz Tropical Trio Flowers Die (4 x6). I cut them out in a dark blue, and then lightly distressed them with Tim Holtz ink. I will post my video below showing how I made these sweet lil' flowers :)

The Happy Mother's Day stamp is a SU! one that I used. I stamped it with Memento black ink on the CottageCutz oval frame. My design paper is one that I got in a warehouse sale from Pink Paislee and figured I should probably use it now :) Hubby bought this package for me last year.

The ribbons for my bow are the Circus Dots Grosgrain Red 7/8" , and Blue Satin with Metallic edge.
