Countdown to Christmas - Day 10 - Faux Washi Tape Card

Hey y'all, thanks for stopping by! TGIF!!! Today we will be making this gorgeous card using a faux washi tape technique.

I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest and the designer used washi tape for the background. I didn't have any festive washi tape at the time, so I decided to make my own using designer series paper. I happened to have a bunch of scraps lying around from previous projects, so I just trimmed them up a bit to make them different widths. You could just cut your paper into thin strips to achieve the same result. Then I die cut the deer from the Santa's Sleigh thinlets from Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper. Tie a red bow from some bakers twine and pop him on the card with dimensionals. Very simple.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and I'll see you on Monday!

Until next time...

Countdown to Christmas - Day 9 - Santa Book

Anybody else have a hard time keeping up with Christmas lists, who you have bought for and who you haven't? Man, this time of year is hectic for me! And I am a list maker by nature. So, I thought I'd make myself a cute notebook to house all things Christmas.

I thought the sentiment from the Pun Intended hostess set was perfect!! Since I'm not too bright and need a notebook to keep all of my stuff together, I couldn't resist using it!

I found tiny composition books at my local Wal-Mart and just covered them with the presents and pinecones DSP. I didn't do any technical with the measuring, just wrapped the piece of DSP around the notebook to get a rough idea of how big I needed the paper. Then I just adhered the paper straight to the book and trimmed it off around the book. Again, nothing fancy. I added some whisper white organza ribbon on the side and popped a cookie cutter santa on the front.

Tomorrow we will be making a beautiful card, so come back and see me sometime!

Until next time...

Stash in a Flash - Timeless Textures

It's that time again... Time to see me make a fool of myself whilst making a card for my stash in about 5 minutes. This is a fun one. Timeless textures is probably my favorite stamp set at the moment. It is such a good "filler" set. It can be feminine with the lovely flourish, but there are so many other images in there, that it can be masculine also. I used it with Guy greetings for many manly cards. Haha. Many manly cards. Hmmm.... new series???


Look how beautiful this card is.

What lovely lady wouldn't love to receive this lovely card for their birthday? These are my 2 absolute favorite colors also. Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe. Oh the sad sad day when they will retire. I may just completely give up being a demonstrator. There once was a color called Sage Shadow that was similar to Mint Macaron that was almost just as lovely. But Mint Macaron has my heart.

I used the flower shop stamp set and coordinating punch and the petite petals and coordinating punch for the flowers. The butterfly basics set made my sentiment and the background was, of course, Timeless Textures. I plopped and enamel shape in the center of the flower and called it done.

Stash in a Flash - BYOP

Hey y'all! Welcome to a BRAND NEW series I am calling Stash in a Flash! This is a series where I will help you create something for your stash in a flash. In each video, we will make a project in ABOUT 5 minutes from start to finish. These will be all occasion, minimal supplies and just like me... extremely random. HA!

Today's project is a birthday card that uses the Number of Years and the BYOP stamp sets.

The card on the left was my example, the card on the right was the one I made on the video. ( I think I get nervous when I see the timer going!!!)

The card stock I used was:

Whisper White: 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
Rich Razzleberry: 4 x 5 1/4
Pacific Point: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
Melon Mambo: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Thick Whisper White: 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

I used the coordinating ink colors for the flowers and the sentiments.

On the card that I made in the video, I used some melon mambo stitched ribbon on the bottom of the card.

If you want to watch the video, you can do that here.

Until next time...
