Graphic 45 Card Class

Susan from Susan's Scrap Club and Bluemoon Scrapbooking put together an online class for all us shut-ins! Papers are from Graphic 45. Susan also used various dies and punches from her stash. It's been a while since I've been able to take a class - so this was fun and inspirational. Thank you, Susan!

The inside of the card actually contains a pocket for a gift card or note....so I added  a We Are 3 sentiment from the Itty Bitty - Sweet set.

We Are 3 and Romantic Hearts Collection

This gift card holder is made using papers from the new Romantic Hearts collection from We Are 3. There are gorgeous examples of Valentine's Day cards at We Are 3's Facebook page - so be sure to check out their lovely work.

I was inspired by a gift card made by Chris Slogar - you can find her tutorial on her blog, Buckeye Inklings.  

I used a border punch to hold the actual gift card.  Of course, I added a few gems and a bird for embellishments.  Why not check out Chris' tutorial and make one yourself.

Catching up on Christmas Cards

Since I've been playing with vinyl, I've spent lots of time making Christmas gifts, and I seem to have fallen behind in much more. I'm feeling like all I'm doing is playing "catch up." It has not helped that we have spent hours each day for the past two weeks trying to resolve prescription issues with my hubby's new Medicare insurance plans - B, C, F, whatever! Seems with all those letters of the alphabet, one would work to give him what he needs!

Today's card is inspired by the Challenge #12 at Kerst Christmas sponsored by We Are 3. For most of the layers, I used Toasty Warm Neutral digital papers. The punched border comes from Mermaid Love, and the patterned background comes from Pumpkin Delight. I planned to embellish with snowflakes - but I didn't care for them. So I replaced the snowflakes with a poinsettia from my stash. I didn't have any green poinsettia leaves, so I used We Are 3's Stackable Zebra Flower.

                           

Holiday Tags

Hello, Everyone!  I'm here today to share a card using several of We Are 3's new releases - Holiday Tags, Christmas Magic, and In Stitches.  I've been keeping my cards simple lately (no mojo) - but took a Susan (Bossierre) class and was inspired to replicate the design using Christmas Magic.  

First I designed the inside, layering different papers from the Christmas Magic Collection.  I also added sentiments at the top and bottom.  I framed the entire design with In Stitches.

I resized the tags to fit four across, leaving one tag blank for our signature.  I added some frill by bordering the pop-out sections.  The pop-out section is folded in four and adhered just behind the first and last sections.  I used the same collection to layer the front of the card (outlined with In Stitches), topped off with another tag and some holiday embellishments.

  

Happy Birthday Gray Catsby

Hello, Everyone!  I here to share scrapbook pages featuring Art Deco Digital papers.  These papers were really so much fun - perfect for this Roaring 20's scrapbook.  But I see some gorgeous Christmas cards made with the scraps.  These papers were perfect for this album of A Murder Mystery dinner party I attended - their decorations were all black and gold, so carrying out this theme with these papers.

Paper Ala Mode - Scrapbook Layout

Hello there!

I'm using digital papers from We Are 3 for this layout - Nature Blends and Burlap Beach. For the Paper Ala Mode Challenge this week, I chose Cascading Hearts to use in my design.  First designed the layout on the computer to make sure I got all my hearts in the right place.
