Sunshine Card with CSW Distributor

It is my first post for the New Year with CSW Distributors....and what better way but to share a card using the All Occasion Super Plush Embossing Folder and a die cut to say that "You Sparkle, You Shine". I used the a piece of light blue Core'dination kraft distress paper with the embossing folder and then lightly distressed it with my Couture Creations sanding block, place it on the front of a kraft card base added some pretty pattern paper and border. I die cut a scallop circle and a circle from the Couture Creation Nesting Sets to place behind my premade die cut sentiment.

Here is a closer look at the beautiful Sparkle Plush Embossing Folder, don't you love it. I hope you have a wonderful, sparkly and sunshine New Year. Hugs Pammejo

CHA - Simplify Mini Album with Sizzix and Graphic 45

Today CHA begins and I want to share with you a mini album I made for Eileen Hull using her XL Mini Album Scoreboard Die and Graphic 45 Typography Collection. I love this die, it is so easy to use ant the best part is you can add as many pages as you would like.

Here are the inside pages...

 I love fussy cutting.....

Flags....

Of course tags and embellishments.....

 Love metals and inks....

and of course the new wooden chippies and buttons.

You tie the pages in with your favorite items...whether it be with ribbon as I did, rubber bands, twine, etc. I hope you enjoy my Simplify Album because it goes with another piece I made for Eileen using her new Artist Blocks.

To find out more about the Artist Blocks check them out HEREor stop by the Artists on the Block Blog.  Have a great weekend checking on all the CHA releases. Hugs Pammejo

Jan 2014 Card with SinCity Stamps and Altered Pages

Can you believe we are almost through the first week of January....I am still having a hard time believing we have just enter into 2014....lol but why not "Celebrate" all the new beginnings, New Years resolutions....some we are still keeping and others we have probably broken....

I started my card by first embossing a piece of cream card stock that matched my card base with White Seafoam Embossing Powder, VersaMark and SinCity Stamps Classic Spark Stamp Set.

 Allow the heated embossing powder to cool before using your distress inks or it may smear....once cool I used Wild Honey and Broken China Distress inks to achieve the color I wanted to go along with my A Childs New Year Collage piece from Altered Pages.

 Here is a closer look at the Classic Spark Background Stamp.

Add the fun little girl collage piece from a Childs New Year Collage Sheet to the front of the card. I added the sticker numbers to the piece so it would say 2014, cleaver way to use the collage sheets through out the entire month or year.

I hope you have a fabulous 2014 and stop by frequently to check out all the new items in the SinCity Stamps Store....we have added chipboard, stencils, masks and more stamps. We would also love for you to stop by SinCity Stamps  and Altered Pages Blogs to check out all the fabulous inspirations that is being offered. Hugs Pammejo

Happy New Years with Couture Creations

Welcome 2014...it is Pam today on the Couture Creations Blog sharing with you how to make a Cracker Candy Container....I know I will be making these for my New Years Eve party because they are fun and easy to make....and who doesn't like easy...

I started by cutting two different pieces using my Silhouette...one in a pretty pattern paper the other with brown distress card stock....

I took the brown distress paper and trimmed the edge off using my Couture Creations Precision Trimmer....

 so that I have two pieces.....

I took the straight pieces and the "A Songbirds Poinsettia" Embossing folder...

 once I had the pieces embossed I sanded them using my Couture Creations Sanding Block....

Take Double Sided Tape...tape the brown embossed distress card stock on three sides and the pretty pattern paper on the outside edge....layer the brown embossed distress card stock on top of the pattern paper.

Tie together with pretty ribbon, add some of Couture Creations Gemstones, filled with candy or other items and add a few decorations to make a pretty Cracker Candy Container....

I hope you have a blessed 2014 and make a few of the Cracker Candy Containers sometime through the year. Hugs Pammejo
