Today begins Craftwell week long blog hop with Xyron...how fun is that. For my project I made a card with a hidden card using Graphic 45 Ladies Diary using the fabulous Xyron Sticker Maker and Tape Roller along with my one of my favorite tools the eBosser from Craftwell.
I started by first running my my paper through the die cut machine using both Sizzix Border Dies and Accordion Flower Die through the eBosser. 
 I ran my borders through the Xyron Sticker Marker and placed them on my card front that I had placed my paper on using the Xyron Tape Runner. (I made my card base from a piece of 6" x 12" white card stock that I scored at 4" and 8" and cutting the right and left side at an angle prior to adhering my Graphic 45 paper)
I placed my sticker borders to both the tag and to the front of the card and added gemstones. 
 Once I had my accordion flower made I placed it to the front of my card along with my wood sentiment.
Here is what my card with its hidden tag looks like once the ribbon and metals are on both piece. I hope you enjoy my hidden tag card and try making one yourself. So head over to Craftwell and see how to playout along with us...just click HERE!!! Hugs Pammejo

Cardabilites Sketch 101 using WeR Memory Keepers Farmers Market

 Today there is Sketch #101 on Carabilities and it is fabulous....I just love Karan Gerber fabulous sketches...so versatile and so easy to implement on your cards or other projects.
I made my card using WeR Memory Keepers Farmers Market Collection and SinCity Stamps. I first die cut two of the Lifestyle Craft labels out, one of the labels was cut from the Easy Page Journal with the jar on it, the other from the yellow dotted paper. Once I had the labels cut I made a mask to go over the jar so I could stamp my honeycomb over the top without getting it on the jar, using pop dots under the bottom layer I  placed it on my card front.
I added a border under the labels along with a banner that was stamped with "You're Fabulous!!!"
Finished my card using some Prima Flowers and an chippie butterfly. 
So please take the time to stop by the Cardabilities Blog and  participate in the Cardabilities Challenge #101

Sweet Birthday Tag with Craftwell and Avery Elle

Here comes the summer birthdays oh my....do you need tags I sure do, I am always looking for some fun ones to use on my birthday packages, though I think with this sweet Bonjour Stamp Set you will be able to use it on many, many fun and different creative projects. I started my tag by first taking a tag die and running it through my Craftwell eBosser along with a pretty piece of printed paper. I stamped the border stamp that comes in the Bonjour Stamp set along the edges in black ink.
Stamping and coloring my treats I had stamped from the Bonjour Stamp Set with Copic Markers I cut them out with the matching Bojour Elle-ments Die Cut with my eBosser, placed them on my tag, adding one with pop dots. I used a "Have a Sweet Birthday" sentiment from the set with Black Memento Ink and added a fun bow to the top of the tag. I hope you check out Avery Elle Stamps and Craftwell eBosser as well as check out both of the blogs for some fabulous inspiration. Hugs Pammejo

Fourth of July Invitation Artist on the Block

Wow...June already and time to start thinking about your Fourth of July plans, well first I guess we need to do Fathers Day (smile) but if you are planning a get together for the Fourth of July  I want to share with you a fun invitation box that you can send out to your guest using the XL Scoreboard from Eleen Hull/Sizzix. 
I made my in the XL Scoreboard but remember they come in two smaller sizes. I cut the USA from a die set that I have and the Place in time Paper from Graphic 45. I love to use Graphic 45 papers because of all the quick and fun embellishments that they have to go along with their papers. 
 Of course I also love metals, wood, ribbon, etc so I just love using the metal clock and wood pieces on the sides of my Artist Block.
 I made my little flag using small strips of paper and just gluing them just under the metal hanger that I had, adding the small wood stars and people to finish the side of my box off.
I filled the box with tissue paper that I cut up using my Martha Stewart multi blade scissors. Taking one of  the post cards from the Place in Time Journal Papers I wrote my invitation and glued onto and insert I made for my box. I added a tag to a stick and placed it into the box so it would peek out to one side.
Here is a closer look at the front of my Artist Block, I hope you enjoyed my Fourth of July Invitation Artist Block today and think about how you can use the Scoreboard Die from Eileen Hull/Sizzix to make some easy and fun invitations. 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!  Link up one of your creations for a chance to win a Sizzix prize pack!Hugs Pammejo

Just a Note Card with Craftwell and Avery Elle

"Just a Note" to let you know that this month we are using Avery Elle Products for our Craftwell Design Team post using Craftwell eBosser.  I never have enough "Just a Note" Cards to send out and I just love the Bottle It Up Stamp and Elle-ments Die Set. To create my card I stamped the bottle twice on the card front with black ink and then stamped the colored leaf images at the top of the bottles with various colors of  Memento ink. I stamped and die cut out the center image twice and layered them together with pop dots prior to placing them on my card front to give some dimension, added a few brown twine bows to finish the card off, colored under the bottles with Copic Markers to give them a shadow effect.  Did I say how easy these were to make and how I plan to do multiples of them using my eBosser from Craftwell. Hope you check out Avery Elle Store and Craftwell eBosser along with the new eBrush. Hugs Pammejo

Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #9 with World Win Papers and Stencil Girls

Challenge #9 Fold It is all about Folds.... all you need to do is use some sort of "fun fold" on your project. You can make a fun fold card, a pop-up card, an explosion box, or other type of project that makes use of folded cardstock or paper. You can share some folding techniques that are perfect for scrapbook layouts or mixed media pieces. Create a mini album with a folded binding. Fold some ribbon to make pleats.. so lets de-hoard those supplies and show us your folds....paper folds that is! Can't wait to see what you create for Challenge #9. Here is my Hello Friend Card using folds....
I made my card by first folding a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" Ultimate Cream Card Stock from World Win Papers, cutting it to 7 1/2" when I had the paper folded. Once I had my card folded and cut to size, I covered the front with some of the pretty pink paper from Botanical Tea Collection, folded the front over to form a triangle and adding a piece of the green paper from the collection to the top....carefully punching your triangle with the scallop punch.
Punched a circle from the World Win Ultimate Cream Card Stock using my 3 1/2" circle punch, using my Spun Sugar Distress Ink and Stencil Girl Stencil distress the stencil and placed it on the front of my card. I used one of my sentiments from my Memories Stamp Set from SinCity Stamps on my cards circle I had prepared. I added swirly brown twine and fussy cut images from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea papers to decorate the front of my card with.
 On the right fold I placed some more of the beautiful paper and a journal block...
Along with some of the flags from the Botanical Embellish Die Cut sheet and some fussy cut flowers I rolled to give them dimension. 
Using Stencil Girls Stencil, Spun Sugar Distress Ink and an applicator I created the inside of my card. Once I had the depth I wanted with the ink I added my scallop border and journal blog...journal block are so great to write you messages on and so pretty also.
I place a small paper clip to the right side to hold the card together. I hope you are inspired by my folded project and I would encourage you to check out World Win Papers along with Stencil Girls to be inspired by their fabulous projects and don't forget to check out our amazing Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog Design Team.
