Just a Little Something...

Hello there!

It's Wednesday, so it's my day to post over at the Scraptownlady blog...  

Today, I'm sharing a fun creation, using a darling stamp, some dies, and some beautiful 

papers, all from the Scraptownlady Store.

Here's my card:

Supply List Below!

 Meet Pearl.

Pearl is a bit late to Emma's birthday party. 

If you look in the window, you can see that Emma is watching for her, 

and is so excited that Pearl has arrived!

lol...That's my version anyway!  I'd love to hear your version!

 Here is my supply list:

Designer's Tip: 

Having trouble keeping those dies and papers in place on your cutting plates?

Use an ordinary post it note to hold them.  You can cut right through the post-it, and it peels off so easily when you are finished!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hydrangea Gift Set

Happy Wednesday...

Today, I'm sharing my first project as a Designer for ScrapTownLady!

 Isn't this card beautiful?  The card base and envelope are from a 10 pack made by KaiserCraft. You will be seeing more pink card bases in the future!  The stamps and dies are Impression Obsession, and will be listed below.  The DP is also KaiserCraft, and will be listed below, as well.

  The photo above shows all of the lovely layers.  Just look at all of those tiny, beautiful flooms!

This card has so much dimension - everything is lifted off the page, and looks so realistic!

 This little gift box was created to accompany the greeting card. This set is going to a very special

young lady.  One thing that I love about Kaiser Craft Paper Pads, is that each pad comes

with several pages of tags that can be stamped or written on.  There are also 

larger tags that can be used on scrapbook pages for journaling,

or on card fronts.

Side View showing the coordinating DP.

View of the back of box.

Here is the set together. Doesn't that flower look SO real?  The KaiserCraft 'tag', and the card, were stamped with a sentiment from the Hydrangea Stamp Set.

 Designer Tip:  When you have a paper pad, like the one above, what do you do with your scraps?

Well...attach an envelope to the back flap of the paper pad, and insert all of your

scraps inside.  No mess, no waste of scraps, and the pads stack beautifully on your

desk, or in a basket or drawer.

Hope you enjoyed this project!

I'll be back next Wednesday with something new!

Hugs...

Patti J.

Welcome to Creation by AR's May New Release Blog Hop!

The DT has been enjoying a wonderful new creation by Adela, and we are here today to share it with you!

Think Wedding, Prom, Military Ball....

Creations by AR Tux and Gown Box Set

The Tux

 

The Gown

This photo shows the 'boxes' removed from their finery, and filled with candy.  To close, simply place the tux or gown over the candy filled box, and turn over.  Voila!

All Creations by AR templates come in SVG, DXF, and PDF format.

As always, my projects have been cut by hand, using the PDF format.

I printed, cut, scored, assembled, decorated, and staged in a little over two hours.

Not bad for an old woman with scissors, and a hard time making important decisions like...

 which jewelry 'she' needed, or 

which color flower for 'him', 

and most important, which chocolates to fill these darling boxes with!  

.....tee hee!

Now, I know that you would LOVE to own this template!

How can you win?  It's so easy!

Happy Sunday :)

I recently needed to create a card for two very sweet ladies who have 'tied the knot'.

These ladies were married about a month ago, and I wanted this to be a perfect card for them, as they are very special to us!

And here is the inside, crooked lines and all!

Here is what was accomplished.  

First....I went to see my friend, Shirley, and 'shop' in her fabulous crafty room. She just happened (as always!) to have exactly what I needed - some little wooden 'potty people' pieces by Studio Calico.  

Also, Amy Kolling is one of my favorite paper crafters. She has such a delightfully fresh, clean and simple style, and I never leave her blog without smiling.  This card, by Amy, was my total inspiration!

That inspiration piece, along with some Amuse cardstock, heart dies, & ink, 

some stamps from Michael's $1 bin,

and a black Copic marker to color my people, 

were responsible for a perfect Congratulations card!

EDIT:  Exciting news!  The Kreate-a-Lope is available for purchase at Scraptownlady!
Check it out!!!

Hope your weekend has been wonderful.

Hugs,

Patti J.
