Happy Birthday Card with Craftwell

 Good Morning!!! I amon the Craftwell Blog today sharing with you one of the Teresa Collins fabulous new mini embossing folders....how fabulous is this one.

 I began by first running brown card stock through my Cut N' Boss using a Label Die from Spellbinders.

 Once cut embossed the die cut piece and a border piece for the inside of my card using Teresa Collins mini embossing folder.

Distress the edges of the base pattern paper as well as the embossed piece and adhere together.

Adhere the layered pieces to the front of a cream card base. Add a small die cut piece that has been cut using another of the dies from the Luscious Labels Die Set, add a Happy Birthday Sticker and mat. Place matted piece on card front with pop dots.

I added a flag sentiment along with a yellow sheer bow to finish the front of my Happy Birthday Card. 

To finish the card...add the strip was embossed using Teresa Collins mini embossing folder along with a journal die cut. Love making the inside of my cards as special as the outside. I hope I have inspired you to check out the fabulous products here at Craftwell Hugs Pam

Garden Go Green Box - Art With Heart Challenge

Wow can you believe it is March...and the "Art With Heart Challenge" is up a running, so make sure to stop by the Eileen Hull's Blog to check out all the details. I made a sweet Garden Box using several of Eileen Hull's wonderful dies.

I began by cutting out 3 of the canister sides and two bottoms from the Canister Die. Using your scissors cut the larger area off of die cut and save strips.

Lay the two uncut die cut side by side and using your strips you set to one side to connect and support your die cut together. Glue together. Add the other two pieces you cut off from the extra die cut and glue to seam. Turn over. 

 Glue the bottom ends to each side of die cut. Spray with Deco Art Yellow Green Mister...

Spray again with Deco Art Primary Yellow Mister, dab of access.

Allow the mist to dry completely and then stamp with your favorite background stamp.

Add Deco Art Gesso Media to your box, while wet...

Add red embossing powder...IMPORTANT allow the gesso to set before heat setting the embossing powder. (I seen this technique on the Tim Holtz blog using paste)

Form Box and add ball legs that have been painted. 

Die cut a watering can from the Watering Can Die. Follow the above directions for the box that include Deco Art Mist. Stamp Heart and Berries Stamp to both sides of watering can and paint in with Deco Art Red Cadmium Red Paint. Add Deco Art Gesso paint to watering can using stencil and palette knife, let dry and form watering can. Glue to edge of box. 

Fill with green moss, greenery, flowers and other random items.

Die cut flowers from Eileen Hull's Window Box Die...love these flowers. Using your mat and stylus, roll, and form flowers. Add gemstones. 

Add these gorgeous flowers here and there in your box. Add a sweet embellishment to the front.

I had to add this garden gnome to my box...he is just so ugly he is cute, lol. I used the Kitchen Label Die to add a fun sign to the Garden Box.

Well, I hope you love my Garden "Go Green" Box and play along with us on the Art With Heart Challenge, I can't wait to see what you create.

Artful Canister with Eileen Hull's Canister Die

I am just loving Eileen Hull's Canister Die...it is so cool and you can do so many thing with it.
I wanted to share one of my favorite projects using the Artful Mixed Media Canister using the  to Kitchen Canister #15181 Die.
I just love the Kitchen Canister #15181 Die!!!
I have made so many things with it from storage containers, candy dishes, desk organizers, gift boxes, etc.
I think it is one of the most versatile dies out there.
You can create it at the regular height, cut it down at the top to make stair step canisters, leave them open, add the lid.
Die cut out the sides for lanterns.
OH MY...
I could go on and on and on why I love the Kitchen Canister #15181 Die .

 I began my Artful Canister by first cutting out the Kitchen Canister , adding some tissue tape randomly to all four sides. Spray each side with water, spray mist from four different mists, dab off with paper towel, allow to dry before doing next side.

I stamped a Dragonfly on two sides using Black Indian Ink and embossed clear embossing powder over the top.

Here is a closer look at the dragonfly vine side of the canister..
I used apply paste and Gold Embossing Powder.
ALLOW the paste to dry completely and then heat set the embossing powder..it leaves a fabulous look.

 One the opposite sides I used the Stamper Anonymous Classic #1 set, continuing with the gold embossed paste. REMEMBER to let each side dry completely between steps.

Repeat with the Kitchen Canister lid.
I stained some seam binding using Worn Lipstick and Fired Red Distress Stain and added it to the top next to my handle.
Add random metals and chippies to your canister to complete the look.
I hope you have enjoyed my Kitchen Canister  and try making yourself one with Eileen fabulous Kitchen Canister .
Hugs Pam

Clean, Simple and Gold Cards with Craftwell

Clean, Simple and Gold....that is what I envisioned when I was working with Teresa Collins new 4A Skylight Embossing Folder from Craftwell.

I began by cutting gold card stock and running it through my Cut N Boss using the Skylight Embossing Folder.

Once embossed I placed it to the top of my card base along with a strip of the Sheer Metallic Stripe paper.

Cut the layer frame dies out using both cream and gold paper. 

 Heat emboss sentiment on smaller die cut, place on larger gold die cut using adhesive and then add to front of card with pop dots.

Since they are so clean and simple I made a set of 4 cards to give as a gift set.

Add envelopes, stack together and tie with a pretty bow. Make sure to flowers and berries to the front and you have a wonderful gift to give to a favorite person in your life. I hope you make a few sets and be sure to check out the new embossing folders from Craftwell as well as the Cut N Boss. Hugs Pammejo

Graphic 45 Design Team Audition 2015

 Wow it is hard to believe that year has almost gone by since the last the Graphic 45 Design Team Call but it is that time again. I wasn't sure if I would tryout again but with a bit of encouragement I decided to share with you a few of my favorite pieces for my submission for the call. I just love the layout I created using Secret Garden and a few photos from our trip to Vancouver. The Secret Garden Collection just works perfectly with the garden photos as well as my love for banners, lace and fun embellishments I enjoy adding to my projects.

 The Best is Yet To Come Card is a wonderful card I made to encourage a friend. One of my favorite things is making my own embellishments especially flowers. The Ladies Diary Collection has fabulous papers to do just that with. Of course the sentiment would be wonderful if I could make the Graphic 45 Team because it would be my "Best is Yet to Come" dream come true.

 Who doesn't love die cuts...my Wish You Were Here Card is a wonderful card that showcases just that. I used the Bohemian Bazaar Collection which is perfect for die cuts. The doily center of the card is a fabulous example of one that I layer and fussy cut around before I placed it on the center of my card. The roses are hand made using another die along with the leaves.

 Did I mention "fussy cutting"...oh my, it is one of my most favorite things to do. I made my French Country Gift Tag Box to use as a gift. I punched out all of my tags bu each piece either has a fussy cut, layered embellishment or an embellishment from the French Country Collection.

 This is my all time favorite piece...using Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells and Olde Curiosity Shoppe, what a fabulous combinations of the collections to make my Steampunk Spells Halloween Top Hat. Lots of things to see..at every angle and every turn from premade embellishments to fussy cut and layered ones.

I will finish with my fun Snowman... I made it using several different Graphic 45 papers from several different collection. Did I tell you I am a Graphic 45 Paper Hoarder, lol...it is my go to papers. I made my snowman using Artist Blocks and if you would like to see a collection of Graphic 45 blocks that I have made over the last year click HERE. Well I hope you have enjoyed my submission for the Graphic 45 Design Team Audion 2015 and with fingers crossed I will wait to see if I made the top 25. Hugs Pam
