This week at Scrapendipity's Thursday make 'n take was a pretty corner bookmark. We folded in two corners of a a square piece of paper, covered the folded triangle with some patterned paper and then embellished with a border punch, lace, ribbons, a metal clip and a gem.

So cute!

Use 3 different patterns of paper

This Weeks Sponsor

Winner will receive the Funny Valentine stamp set

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

Here is my project-

I used the vintage sewing machine cut from the Heritage Cricut cartridge to die cut a piece of silver foil paper and paired it with papers and stamps from the Simon Says Stamp January 2014 card kit - love that little stitched heart!

What can be better than combining my love of sewing with my love of papercrafting?!!

This little grey crocheted flower and pink button were the perfect finishing touches.

Be sure to head over to the FCCB blog to see all the other wonderful projects our amazing design team has come up with this week - and go ahead and add your own using 3 different patterned papers and a Cricut cut!

Happy Crafting,

Stencilled Day 1 - Moments

There are so many wonderful techniques on Day 1 of the class Stencilled at Onlinecardclasses.com!  For my third card I did the ink misting over a stencil.

I used 2 shades of Dylusions blue spray ink over a Tim Holtz stencil to create the background. I layered it over some My Minds Eye patterned paper and used the Wall Decor and More cartridge to cut the sentiment and clock. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday.

Stenciled day 1- heart tag

Continuing on with the amazing stencilling class at Onlinecardclasses.com, I made a variation of the first card, using a velum tag embossed with Distress Ink and an iridescent embossing powder, layered over a stenciled background piece cut to the same size as the tag. 

I layered the tag over a 6x6 piece of patterned paper with a pretty design and added a Prima flower and some hemp twine. 

Happy crafting!

Stencilled - Day 1, Love card

I'm so excited! Another class at Onlinecardclasses.com! This one is a class called Stenciled - focusing on all kinds of fun stencilling techniques.

Day 1 is Inking and Misting and for my first card I used Distress Inks sponged over a Dylusions stencil. I wanted a Valentines card for my hubby that wasn't too feminine and I thought this fit the bill. 

I cut a tag from vellum and used white embossing powder after stamping with Versamark ink. I used my Distress Ink to colour coordinate my hemp twine and popped my tag and background up on a white card base. 

Love the white on white on this card! A couple gems from Hero Arts add the finishing touch. 

Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Friday!

FCCB Challenge # 194 - We Love Snowmen

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #194 Use a Snowman

Create a Project that uses a snowman!

This Weeks Sponsor

Winner will receive the Conversation Candies stamp set

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

Be sure to visit the FCCB blog to view the other DT members' projects and to join in the challenge.

Here is my project for this week:

Even though we have had way more snow than I think we should have so far, a snowman always makes me smile!  I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge to cut this guy, and since I used my Gypsy I was able to hide the face cuts and stamp it on with a Peachy Kean stamp.  I did use the carrot layer for the nose though.

I used some Fancy Pants paper for the scarf and mitts and after I layered everything I ran it through my Cuttlebug with the bubble embossing folder.

The snowflake is cut with the Art Philosophy cartridge, sponged with Distress Ink and Stickled. I only glued the inner edges to the card to give some dimension around the outside.

I used a paint pen to create the snow border along the bottom of the card and then stamped the sentiment in black.  I stamped the background with snowflakes and used white embossing powder before attaching my snowman.

Finally, I punched three little hearts out of patterned paper and added some clear crackle accents to give them an icy, crackled finish.

Hope you are staying nice and warm and enjoying all the great snowman projects at FCCB this week!

Happy Crafting!

Release the Nerds ATC Swap

For this month's swap with Lefty Productions our challenge was to create ATC cards with the theme 'Release the Nerds'!

I decided to settle on 2 different themes - my nerdy love of organizing and lists and my nerdy love of murder mysteries - especially from the 80's!

This is what I came up with -

I started with manilla ATC bases which I stencilled with Distress Paints and then sponged with Distress Inks.  I stamped overtop with Archival Jet Black ink using some 7 Gypsies stamps and then added my elements on top, including some washi tape, a notebook border punched piece of paper, and some stickers.
