Sweet Friend...

Happy Day 2 of National Scrapbooking Weekend my "Sweet Friends"! I hope you are filled with fun inspiration and a time to create this weekend! I found out over the last few years that "Friendship is a Treasured Gift" as my family walked through one of the worse journeys of our lives. Make sure to treasure every moment with your family and friends!

Today I am sharing a sweet card created with my Carefree Collection manufactured by Wild Whisper! Begin by adhering pattern paper to top of a 5" x 6 1/2" black card base. Fussy cut the strip from pattern paper and adhere to top of prepared card. 

Fussy cut second flower; add to top of flower strip on card. Add glossy accent to center of flower. 

Stamp "Sweet Friend" using the stamps from the Little Things 4"x6" Clear Stamp Set from the Simplicity Collection along with the "Friendship is a Treasured Gift" from the Live in the Moment 4"x 6" Clear Stamp Set from the Carefree Collection using black ink and a strip from the Carefree Collection. Add sentiment to card front with pop dots. Add small bow.

Happy Thanksgiving with Eileen Hull Inspiration Team

 Happy November!!! It is time to think of sending out those Thank you Cards, planning Thanksgiving Party Favor Boxes, Decorations and so much more! Creating with Eileen Hull 3D Dies from Sizzix makes so many projects so much easier! 

I created a fabulous Happy Thanksgiving Post Box along with a fun gift card tag to place inside using Authentique Splendor Collection and Xyron Adhesive. 

Begin by covering a piece of Sizzix Mat Board with pattern paper; die cut out using Sizzix Post Box Die. Decorate the front with border strips and Epherema Elements. 

Add double twine bows to top of prepared Post Box. 

Create Gift Tag to fit into slot and add. 

(NOTE: Instead of adding a gift card ... add a favorite photo or a special message to inside of tag,)

Add to inside of prepared Happy Thanksgiving Post Box. 

Create a matching Grateful, Blessed, Thankful Card to accompany your Party Favor. 

(REMEMBER: Add your recipient name to either of them if you are using as a Thanksgiving Table Favor.)

Adhere pattern paper to front of square Kraft Card. Die cut TeaCup from pattern paper; add to front of card with pop dots. Add spoon and sentiment Epherema to front of tag. 

Along with pretty double twine bow. 

Enjoy creating wonderful holiday projects with Eileen Hull Dies!

Back to School Layout and Card with Authentique and Xyron

Hi Authentique Fans!!! Pam here today and guess what time of year it is!!! It is time for SCHOOL! We  love to take those first day of school photos whether our kids are able to go to their local school or like us having virtual school! I am sharing how to create a that first day of school layout!  

Did you know there are some fabulous sites that you can get layouts and card sketches to work with? Creative Scrapbooker Magazine has a "free" sketch layout each month but there are other sites like A Cherry on Top or Page Maps that has both card and layout sketches to name a couple more. Some also have challenges using sketches! 

When you work with layouts you can go literal with the sketch or use it as a jumping off point like I did with my layout! I added a collection of journal cards and paper to create the patter of thirds from the layout. 

 Added a place for a photo where the Title is shown. 

Add small cards and border strip where the flowers are shown to be. 

Add a the school banner from the Scholastic to top of layout using pop dots and natural twine bows. 

If you aren't a Scrapbooker that is okay; you can use the same sketch idea to create a card or maybe some altered work. Really a sketch is the jumping off place for your creative style. Enjoy, Pam

Rip ....Candy Holder with Southern Ridge Trading

Time to start creating  some special candy holders for all your favorite Trick or Treaters or to give to coworkers, teachers, family, etc.

Begin by die cutting a notebook die from pattern paper and cutting off one of the covers. If you don't have a die...that's okay. Simply cut a piece of paper to measure about 5" by 5" or larger depending on the size of your candy bars and score two 1/4" lines to create fold. Ink edges with black ink. Form the back of candy holder.

Adhere Tombstone to pattern paper; trim edges. Sand with sanding block. Ink edges with black ink.

Repeat by turning prepared Tombstone; adhere, trim, sand and ink edges.

Adhere prepared Tombstone to prepared candy holder back.

Adhere Closed Gate  to top of pattern paper. Adhere to top of Tombstone

Paint top part of Tombstone with paint; dry. Lay Bubble Wrap Stencil to top of prepared Tombstone using black paint; dry.

Stamp prepared Tombstone using Boo! Halloween Planner Stamps.

Adhere border strip to bottom of  prepared Tombstone to top of prepared candy holder. Adhere  Mini Pumpkins to front.

Adhere blank card stock to inside of candy holder to create belly band.
