Rose Thank You Card with Craftwell and Core'dinations

I love making Thank You Cards...I feel we all need to remember to send thank you cards out more often, it is always nice to receive something pretty in the mail when you want to say thanks to someone. 

And the gorgeous Core'dinations ColorCore Nostalgia Cardstock makes it so easy to make multiples of any card especially when you are using Teresa Collins large embossing folders.

I cut my pieces from 3 different pieces of the shades of purple from the pad and did a border punch on the lightest of the paper...

 Layered them all at once onto the Damask Embossing Folder....

Running them through the eBosser at one time, how cool is that....

 And there you have it, all beautifully embossed, all at once....like I said super easy to make multiples of the thank you card.

 Layer the pieces on to your card base....

I added a pretty rose that I colored in using my Copic Markers to the center of my card, along with some stick pins, ribbon and sentiment to the front to finish my Rose Thank You Card with. Hugs Pammejo

Craftwell eBosser

Core'dinations Nostalgia Color Core Paper

Happy Birthday Card with Cardabilities - Sketch 103

 Wow, is all I can say about the fabulous Cardabilities Sketch 103 that Karan Gerber design for us this month. It is amazing!!!! I created my card using Teresa Collins Hello Life Collection along with Couture Creations dies and Prima Flowers. 

 Here is a better look at the sketch and you can see my interpertation of it.

 I added a few Prima Flowers and leaves along with a few hand made rosettes and flourishes to my card. I always love adding bows and seam binding makes fabulous bows.

I distressed the edge of my base papers to help give that vintage feel and did some stamping on the paper with black ink prior to adding the die cuts. The fancy label is fussy cut from one of the journal blocks that come in the collection. 

 I love sharing with you all the dimension that you can achieve by doing a bit of layering with pop dots.

I try to finish my inside of my card and I thought the Oh Happy Day Journal Block was perfect for my Happy Birthday Card. So make sure to check out the challenge on the Carabilites site and link up your projects using Sketch 102. Hugs Pammejo

Smile Card with Core'dinations and Crafwell eBosser

Smile ... don't you love the embossed sentiment...

I created it by running a small piece of the yellow distress paper from the Core'dinations Nostalgic Paper Pad through the eBosser using Teresa Collins Beautiful Word embossing folder, cutting it just around the edges with a pair of scissors...love the words on this fabulous folder.

BUT...first I had to build my card base up, so first place a piece of blue distress paper from the Core'dinations Nostalgic Paper Pad and run it through the eBosser using Teresa Collins Damask embossing folder.

Once my embossed piece was made, place it on to the diagonal strip paper form the Memories paper.

Taking the Doily paper and the Journal page cut out the two pieces you would like to use, taking your Doily Dies, place on the paper...I used washi tape to hold it into place so I could flip it over onto the magnetic sheet.  Once die cut place on top of the embossed Damask piece.

Add the doilies that you die cut out and place on card base along with the Good Times piece from the Memories paper. Add ribbon to card front and layer to card base with pop dots.

I cut flower piece from a flower die using the yellow Distress paper from the Core'dinations Nostalgic Paper Pad.

Rolling the flowers with a stylus and using a pair of tweezers to form the petals, layer them together to form your flowers and apply to the front of your card.  Hope you have a fabulous day full of smiles. Hugs Pammejo

Simple Pleasure Tag - Tag Challenge #11 with Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog

Challenge #11 Tag, You're It! That is the challenge this time. Use a tag on your project. Create a handmade gift tag. Create a tag mini album. Add tags to your scrapbook layout or your card. You may use some hoarded tag-shaped packaging or you may cut tags from scrap paper using a die cut template. Maybe you hoard shipping tags of all sizes. As long as your project contains some sort of tag, you will meet the requirements to play along! So look through your hoards of stash to see what you create a tag with.

I used a cover from a 6 page chipboard book that I had in my stash for my base, covered it whit Authentic Paper, made a few extra tags using a Marvy Tag Punch to create my tag with.

I stamped my smaller tags using the sentiments from the Crafter's Companion Jessica Stamp Set and placed them into a pocket that I fussy cut from one of the journal Authentique Papers. I always love metal, wood and other fun embellishments so had to add a few to the tag. My dragonfly is from my Fall Collection Stamp Set and colored it in with Spectrum Noir Markers and placed a few on my tag.

I love accordion flowers and had forgot that I own not one but two of these Tim Holtz dies and I thought that they would be the perfect add on embellishment for my tag. Again, there is another of those fun dragonflies and love adding the fun bows.

I thought my tag would work perfectly with Annie photo layout that I will be adding it to....

Wedding Artist on the Block with Graphci 45 Ladies Diary

Today is my turn to share my Artist on the Block...I made a wedding cake that was inspired by my son and his brides wedding cake...

Here is their beautiful cake using at least a hundred Martha Stewart Roses on it....so I will show you the rest of my ATB using it as my inspiration....

I covered the Artist Blocks using Graphic 45 Ladies Diary...love that collection since is reminds me of romance and thought it was perfect.

 The images on the paper worked perfect for my cake. I cut two of them out and placed one on each side of the middle Artist Block and added a decorative wedding brad to each side.

 Don't you love the flowers, there are 155 of them on the cake...I punched them out using a small flower punch I had, rolled and layered them...so if you think about it...that is 310 punches, oh my...I didn't think about that. LOL Once I had them rolled I placed a small gemstone in the center of each flower.

 Here is the front of my Wedding Artist Block. I placed it on a circle that I cut using chipboard and covered it in Ladies Diary Paper. Placed it on a glass candle stick using Glossy Accent. Added ribbon, twine and a satin ribbon bow to the the circle.

 I added a metal birdhouse and bird to the flowers so my Wedding Cake would have a topper.

 This is the front middle piece, love the pearl gemstones and metal bike.

I added a Cherish ribbon holder using the white ribbon, a small metal book and a sticker from the Ladies Diary embellishment sheet.

 I like to take my photos on the angle when doing them of the blocks so you are able to see all of the dimension.

 Here is the other side of the block with the same couple on it and different decorative embellishment.

An my bottom layer has a wonderful tag and another of the sticker embellishment, the metal teapot and lots of pearl gemstones just make the Wedding Artist Block look complete. Think about how you can use the Scoreboard Die from Eileen Hull/Sizzix to make some wonderful Wedding Decorations.  Don't forget to stop by The Artists on the Block Blog to see other inspiring projects. Also be sure and stop by the Art with Heart Challenge for more Inspiration and to participate in the challenge!  So link up one of your creations for a chance to win a Sizzix prize pack! Hugs Pammejo

Fourth of July Candy Box with Core'dinations and Craftwell eBosser

It will be  the Fourth of July before we know it and what better way to celebrate besides with fireworks and BBQ but to make up some quick and easy candy boxes to give to your guest. I used my Candy Box Punch Board to make mine but you can also find a die that will cut them out.

I started my candy box by first cutting a square from a piece of blue Nostalgia Paper Pad and cutting on the punch board.

Once it was cut and scored I ran it through my eBosser from Craftwell using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

Love how it distress the paper because of the deep impressions from the eBosser...didn't even need to sand the piece.

I ran my border through using a piece of the American Made red paper using the platforms...

The Red Core'dinations Nostalgia  paper was also embossed using an argyle embossing folder. The stars were cut and layered using a die...layer the center with pop dots to make them look like they are exploding off the page, add a bit of twine and you have a fun gift box to fill with your favorite candy.

Hope you have safe and fabulous Fourth of July. Hugs Pammejo
