National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop with We R Memory Keepers


 Happy National Scrapbook Day!!!! Today We R Memory Keepers is having a blog hop to celebrate!!! What better way than for me to make some fun gift boxes using the We R Memory Keepers Punch Boards along with the Hip Hip Hooray Collection and BakersTwine.
I started my boxes by first cutting a piece of 12 x 12 card stock in half, using half the sheet I created my bag using the Gift Bag Punch Board, before I formed the bag I first punched the top of it using the Mini 8 Garland Punch. Decorate your bag with Hip Hip Hooray papers, add a few gemstones and you have a fabulous gift bag to use.
I then took the other half my card stock and cut it in half, using one of the 6x6 pieces I made my small box by simply following the directions that are on the Gift Box Punch Board. Decorate with the Hip Hip Hooray Collection, tying with the Bakers Twine and adding some of the Hip Hip Hooray Embossed Stickers to the box.
Using the last piece of 6x6 card stock I made a Pillow Box... making a belly band with a piece of the Hip Hip Hooray Collection and Mini 8 Garland Punch. Once adhered into place wrap with Bakers Twine, tie a bow and add one of the Embossed Stickers to the top. Don't you love how you can make 3 different boxes from one sheet of paper. I hope you enjoyed my National Scrapbook Day Project with We R Memory Keepers and check out the other We R Memory Keepers designers that are participating in the hop as well as checking out the We R Memory Keepers Blog for more inspiration.

Memories Layout with Craftwell

My "Memories" Layout bring back sweet smiles for me....this is the Crosley Mansion in Sarasota, FL where are youngest son and his new bride was married two years ago. It is a beautiful location on the breath taking Sarasota Bay. I used the Teresa Collins Beautiful Words Embossing Folder with the Craftwell eBosser which I thought worked perfectly with Black Kraft Core'dinations paper, using a sanding block to distress the top lightly to expose the core center of the paper...I just love the look of the embossed paper. I place the embossed paper on top of the yellow pattern paper from the Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze Collection, adding the paper borders from the embellishments sheet and placing the geometric paper to the page.
I added Want2 Scraps Flourish Bling and fussy cut flowers that I made from one of the patten papers from the collection to the left corner of the layout, place enamel centers in the center of the flowers and at the top of the layout. Place the "Memories" die cut from the die cut paper on pop dots and add to top of layout. I hope you enjoyed my layout and check out the other inspiring projects on the Craftwell Blog and the eBosser Products in the Craftwell Store.

No Place Like Home with Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog Challenge #6

Challenge #6 Sketch Challenge, with a Twist is the challenge for the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog. 

Use the sketch  as inspiration for creating your project. You can modify the sketch to create a card, scrapbook layout, altered canvas, mini book cover, and so on. Now, for the TWIST! You must search your hoard and find one item that is OLD and one item that is NEW and use them BOTH on your project. Show us how you combine older items from your stash with something recently purchased.
There's No Place Like Home Card is my project showing off the sketch. My NEW or almost new product is Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar just because I haven't used much out of my paper pads since I purchased it so I am going to count it as my "new". LOL
For my old is the Wizard of Oz Stamp Set from Hampton Arts that I have had since the collection came out, at least 2 or so years ago...first time used and I am positive not the last. I stamped Dorothy and her little dog Toto twice on Bazzil card stock and using my Copic Markers colored the images in, fussy cut all the pieces out and layer them together with small pop dots prior to placing them on my card base that was layered together.
 I punched out my little flowers using a McGill Punch and rolled them using their flower tools,adding different color and style of bling to the centers.




Another product that is really old is my die cut from Cottage Cozy, it has to be at least 3 years old and again the first time I used it but thought it fit the design of the sketch perfectly. The sentiment and little walking bricks are both on the Wizard of Oz stamp set....I hope you enjoyed my take on the sketch challenge and I look forward to seeing what you create using it, make sure to link up you project using Mr. Linky on the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog and for further details on the challenge just go HERE!!! for more inspiration check out the rest of the CHACB Design Team...Hugs Pammejo

Beautiful Words Frame with Craftwell

Teresa Collins Beautiful Words Embossing Folder is becoming on of my favorite folders...so when I seen this frame at my local craft store for  99cents I knew right away that I was going to use the folder and one of the Fleur De Lis Chipboard Book from Sin City Stamps to create my frame with. I started by embossing Black Kraft Paper from Core'dinations along with the Beautiful Words Folder for my background using Craftwell eBosser, sanding it off lightly with my sanding block to expose the Kraft center.
I covered the Fleur De Lis with a piece of the yellow honeycomb paper from the Everyday Moment Collection using a glue stick, trimming the access paper away with an Xacto knife and placing on the embossed paper that has been placed in the frame. 
 Once the Fleur De Lis is adhered to the frame, apply your rub-ons....
I made my flowers using Teresa Collins Summer Stories Paper,  a scallop die cut along with fussy cutting out leaves. Once my flowers were formed I placed them along with the leaves and ribbon to the center of the Fleur De Lis, Added a long pearl bead and placed the work "Believe" to a metal paper pick to the top of the arrangement....I hope you check out other inspiring projects on the Craftwell Blog as well as the fabulous Craftwell eBosser...Hugs Pammejo

Art Block with SinCity Stamps

I am totally hooked on these Artist Block using Sizzix XL Scoreboard and using it with my Fall Collection Stamp Set 2 made and amazing Art Block.
Start by cutting out two of the XL Scoreboard, stamping the "small dragonfly" using Black Ink.
Using your Tim Holt Distress Inks, distress over the top of the XL Scoreboard til you achieve the look you would like.
 Stamp lots of sunflowers and dragonflies on water color paper using a die black ink.
Color the sunflowers in using Tim Holtz Distress Markers
Repeat with your distress markers for the dragonflies...cut each of them out with scissors. Layer two dragonflies in the center so the wings will look like they are flying. 
The "Brick Wall" is Sin City Stamps Art Journaling with  Terri Sprouls 2. Layer sunflowers together with pop dots and the centers are made using Sage Flower Soft and Quick Dry Glue. Add them to your project when dry.
 For the top of the box I used wood letter journals along with just a tiny bit of French Country from Graphic 45, some metals and a few of the sunflowers and dragonflies I made earlier. Added a red sheer ribbon bow to finish the top off.
Here is the other side of the box using more of the wood letter pieces, sunflowers and dragonflies. My legs are recycled screws that were removed from an old cabinet....don't you love to re-purpose parts...lol. I hope you enjoyed my Art Block and please check out SinCity Store to check out my line of stamps along with other stamps, chipboard, die cuts, stencils, etc that are available. Hugs Pammejo

For the Love of Boxes with We R Memory Keepers and Create and Craft

Have you tried the Box Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers....well, check it out HERE!!! It is super easy to use and makes boxes in several different sizes. This week (April 9th-13th) Create and Craft is featuring the We R Memory Keepers Box Punch Board in London how fabulous is that. 
So it is a must see and a definite must have....But I would like to share a few I created just to have on hand for upcoming gifts that I need to send out.
The first one if for my friend Lori...she always fills my life with laughter and sunshine. On my May 7th she will be ringing the bell for her last chemo treatment...I know it will be a wonderful day of celebration. 
 I thought the Notable Collection from We R Memory Keepers would be perfect for my gift box because I am counting on it being a perfect day for celebrating.
 My second box is using We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard Collection. I am just going to hold on to for the end of the year teachers gifts, fill it full of some fun candy and send it off to school.
Here is a closer look at the top, both boxes are wrapped in WeR Memory Keepers Twine and using the Envelope Wraps. Hope you check out the Box Punch Board, I know you will fall in love with it just like I have.  Hugs Pammejo

Together with Craftwell and Teresa Collins

So excited to share with you my first design team project for Craftwell using the eBosser and Teresa Collins Woodgrain Embossing Folder. What better way than to use Teresa Collins Everyday Moments Collection...since I titled my layout "Together". My husband and I have been "Together" since we were 16 years old, so Everyday Moments is just perfect for us. I started my project by layering the pretty pattern papers....
and then running Yellow Core'dinations through the eBosser using the Teresa Collins Woodgrain Embossing Folder. Love the depth of the embossing...do you see the circle embellishment. I punched 3 circles using a 1" circle punch and embossed them also before I placed them on a pop dot.
I love to fussy cut, it is one of the my favorite ways to make embellishments....so the flowers on the pattern papers are perfect to do just that.
The leaves are hand cut and ran through the Woodgrain Embossing Folder...I like to squish, fold, bend, wad them up until I get the shape I want and the embossing folder just makes them come to life...I hope you enjoyed my first project and check out other products and projects here on Craftwell.
