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

Cardabilities Sketch #102 - Learn, Live, Hope for Today Card using SinCity Stamps and WRMK

Today there is Sketch #102 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.

So here is the sketch....and my take on it.  I started by using a 4 1/2" card white Card base that I added a piece of diagonal stripe paper from WeR Memory Keepers Notable Collection to the top.

I embossed a piece of white card stock using Couture Creations Vintage Girl Embossing Folder twice. One for the card front the other to cut the center out of for a mask when I applied my Broken China Distress Ink over the top of the embossing. (This will keep the oval white so you will be able to stamp your image). stamp the Daisy Bouquet from the Sin City Stamps Memories Set with Black Memento ink twice, once directly on to the oval the second on to a piece of white scrap paper, color using your favorite markers, fussy cut out two of the daisies from the scrap paper and apply to the top of the colored daisies on the oval, this will give you dimension. Place on card base with pop dots.

Stamp the sentiment from the Sin City Stamps Memories Set with Black ink and place it on the card front with pop dots. Add leaves, bow and butter fly that you have made to the top. The butterfly is stamped twice and fussy cut, colored and layer to make it look like it is flying. 

On the inside of the card I place a stamped honeycomb piece to the top of a piece of the diagonal Notable Paper. Love to finish the inside of my cards. So make sure to check out the challenge on the Carabilites site and link up your projects using Sketch 102. Hugs Pammejo

"Win" I Grow Up....with Craftwell and Avery Elle Stamps

Today I am sharing with you my layout using Avery Elle Bottle It Up Stamp with the Bottle It Up Elle-ments Die. We were asked to look at the Avery Elle Blog and find a card that inspired us....here is the card I selected.

You Make the World Better Card by Heather. I selected Heathers card because I loved the sentiment "You Make the World a Better Place", as soon as I seen it  I remember my grand daughters paper she wrote about "Win" She Grows Up She Wants to be a Teacher...it seemed so appropriate  because teachers make the world a better place.

I hope you enjoy Annie journal page...lol, if you can get through all the miss spelled words but it is the thought of a second grader that counts.

I used the Bottle It Up bottles as my embellishments. I stamped them with black ink on WeR Memory Keepers Inked Rose and using my Craftwell eBosser die cut them out using the matching Bottle It Up Elle-ment Die. I love to make my own embellishments so the Bottle It Up Elle-ments die was perfect.

I inked the circle stencil prior to placing the journal page onto my white background paper to give a bit of the look Heather achieved on her card along with randomly stamping a few of the small flowers from the Bottle It Up Stamp Set.  I hope I inspired you to check out the Avery Elle Blog as well as the Craftwell Blog to see how the designers inspire you each day... never know what will inspired to create something fabulous.

Project Life Pages with WeR Memory Keepers Jet Set Collection

I have just started doing a bit of project life pages and just love that I can get multiple photos, mementos, etc on two pages and when you have as many photos as I do from our trip to Alaska this helps a lot.

I found this sketch from Sketchabilities on Pinterest and though it would work perfect from layout page using We R Memory Keepers Jet Set Collection.

 I did a bit of stamping using SinCity Stamps Art Journaling and if you can believe it my coffee cup that was sitting on my desk while I was creating. I think it gave my layout a nice affect since it mimic the sketch a bit.

Here it the pocket page...with some of our memorabilia and a photo of friends we traveled with. 

 I used the same stamp on a couple of the journal pieces so there would be consistence in my pages....

 I love how I used the smaller journal piece to make it look like a gate to store our tickets behind.

Here is another pocket that I made from the smaller 6x6 paper, cutting just the Alaska half off to form the pocket. 

I saved everything so I would have it if I decided to use it in my Alaska Album....better to have then not have is my motto. 

Again some of the fun use of stamps from SinCity Stamps. I hope you check out both SinCity Stamp store where I have my own collections of stamps, chipboard books, chipboard, stencils and mask available and as always you have to check out WeR Memory Keepers Store for all of the latest products.
