School Days - Is It Almost That Time Again?

Hello everyone, I’ve got some cards for you today, using the new School Days collection from Paper Rose Studio. 

Paper Rose Studio supplies: School Days 6x6 Paper Collection 36469, School Days 6 x 8" Cut Aparts 36496, School Days 6x8" Quick Cards Die Cuts 36532, School Days 12x12 Paper Collection 36472 , Jumbo Caps Alphabet Metal Cutting Die 17949

These were all quick and simple cards to make.  I made the first card using some of the 12 x 12" papers and piecing together the different images and added the little school bus border to the bottom.  The sentiments were taken from the Quick Cards Die Cuts set.  I think this would be a great card for a young child just starting out on his/her school journey.

Both of the next two cards started with one of the 6 x 6" papers, and I've added supporting images and sentiments from the Cut Aparts or from the 6 x6 " papers.  I die cut the A from the Jumbo alphabet and created a plus sign from scrap cardstock. I used a brad to add the tag to the card and put a smaller image behind the tag.  I thought this last card would make a good thank you card for a favourite teacher. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you are having a happy, creative day.  

Masculine Wiper Card & More! *VIDEO*

Hello everyone, I've got a fun masculine wiper card to share today plus another quick, easy card.  

Paper Rose Studio Supplies:  Campfire Tales 6x6 Paper Collection 36730, Campfire Tales Basics 6x6 Paper Collection 36763, Campfire Tales 6 x 8" Cut Aparts 36757, Campfire Tales 6x8" Quick Cards Kit 36790, Rainbow Poppies A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 25603.  Amazon - Holographic Laminating Sheets 

I was inspired by a video Sam Calcott made for the wiper card ( here's the link - https://youtu.be/r1_IEoFreRo?si=zB0NMn8qQuJXf9OM).  It's just a really fun wiper card as there are so many elements popping out and you can orient it in different ways and make it in different sizes.  The Campfire Tales collection is perfect for a masculine card or those outdoor enthusiasts you may know.  

The second card was super quick and easy, but has a very different look with the added holographic sheet.

I hope you will come join me for the video which you can find HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you're having a great day!
 

FUN FINDINGS! *VIDEO*

Hello everyone, I've got a fun collection of ideas for you today, using some finds I found on Amazon.  We have been away on a holiday, came home and were completely jet lagged, and then of course, got sick.  So I apologize for the rather sparse collection today, but here are my completed projects.

 Paper Rose Studio supplies: Portraits in Bloom 6x6 Paper Collection 36556, Portraits in Bloom 6 x 8" Cut Aparts 36583, Wedding Blooms Border Metal Cutting Die 31602, Amaya Butterfly Metal Cutting Die 19157 

Amazon supplies: 100 Pcs Stainless Steel Earring Making Kit, includes 50 Pcs 12mm Earring Blanks with Hooks and 50 Pcs Clear Glass Cabochons , 5 Sheets 8.25x11.7 Inches Stars Holographic Premium Cold Laminated Film Glitter Holographic Overlay 

 

I know its hard to see the overlay film that I've used on the butterflies as my camera just would not pick up the shine and stars.  But you can easily see it in real life and in the video. I think it's a really fun way to add some sparkle to background papers or die cuts as I've done here with the butterflies.  

And how about those home made earrings?!  What a great way to use up those scraps we all treasure!  And you can include a coordinating gift with each card you make.  I hope you will come join me for the video to see how these were made.  You can find the video HERE.

Thank you all for stopping by and I hope you will give these ideas a try! 

Masculine Cards and a Fun Fold *VIDEO*

Hello again everyone, I've got a few of those pesky masculine cards to share today.  I've used one of my most favourite collections, Seaside Memories from Paper Rose Studio.  And I pushed myself to use some of the tags and tickets from the collection since I'm terrible at using these!

 

Paper Rose Studio Supplies: Seaside Memories Basics 12x12 Paper Collection 33774, Seaside Memories Basics 6x6 Paper Collection 33795, Seaside Memories 6 x 8" Cut Aparts 33801, Seaside Memories 6x8" Quick Cards Kit 33804, Large Layered Script Happy Birthday Metal Cutting Die 32508, Happy Peek-a-Boo Metal Cutting Die 16832, Big Love You Metal Die 28855

 

So as you can see, there is a fun fold card in there as well as the tags and ticket cards.  I've got a video up for you so you can see how easy these are to make, and there is a template in the description box below the video for you.   To watch the video, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

 

Inside Pop Up *VIDEO*

Welcome back everyone!  I've got a fun inside pop up card to share today and it's a great way to use up some of those white scraps of cardstock that we all have. 

 

Paper Rose Studio Supplies:  Seaside Memories 6x8" Quick Cards Kit 33804, Seaside Memories 6 x 8" Cut Aparts 33801, Jumbo Alphabet Metal Cutting Die 17946, Wishing & Sending Sentiments 4x6" Clear Stamp Set 34395 , Wishing & Sending Sentiments Metal Cutting Die 34398, Birthday Fun 6x6 Paper Collection 33279, Birthday Fun Embossed Die Cuts 33306, Balloon Trio Decorative Metal Cutting Die 16706, Balloon Trio Metal Cutting Die 16703, Large Layered Script Happy Birthday Metal Cutting Die 32508 (US site).

So as you can see, you can choose to either have the pop up oriented vertically or horizontally.  It's a great way to use some of those embossed die cut images or extra sentiments you may already have in your stash.  The mechanism itself is quite simple, just some scoring and folding.  I hope you will come JOIN ME HERE to watch the video and see how these are made.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
 

Acetate Front Cards. *VIDEO*

Hello again everyone, I've got a super fun card to share today.  I've made this style of card before so you may already be familiar with it, but I haven't made one in ages and I really love the dimension you can achieve with it. 

Paper Rose Studio supplies: Petals & Pansies Basics 6x6 Paper Collection 36400, Petals & Pansies 6 x 8" Cut Aparts 36394.  From the Paper Rose US site: Elegant Flourish Small Metal Cutting Die 16617, Large Layered Script Happy Birthday Metal Cutting Die 32508  

Both my cards are 6 x 6" as I used one of the patterned papers in the 6 x 6 collection for the background.  However, you can adjust the size to suit whatever background you have and I've tried to explain that in the video. The photographs really cannot show all the dimension, so I hope you'll join me at the video to see these in action.  To watch the video PLEASE CLICK HERE. 

Great big thanks for stopping by today and I hope you're having a happy, creative day!
