With a couple bumps in the road (and 2 containers of mod podge…i’ll explain) I was finally able to complete this address book! Finished Address Book Front and Back Here is a close up view of the front title. Here is a view of the back. Here is how this project progressed: I got this [...]
Inspired by a tutorial video I found on Youtube the other day, I saw a bookbinding technique called the Japanese Stab binding technique. I thought it would be a great use for some paper I saved from a place I used to work which was about to throw it away that I’ve had for years but never knew [...]
Truly my favorite punch at the moment is from EK Success Paper Shapers ‘Drops’. On the right, these are more the formation of the shapes I was going for with my ATC ‘Smile’ the other day. Paisley curves in different colored paper. I just call these bookmarks ‘colorful’! The one on the left I made [...]
I know they have been around quite a while, but I just heard of them recently and they are actually perfect for me (and I would recommend making these to others) when I have design block. They are called Artist Trading Cards or ATCs. There are no limits, use them to try techniques out for the first [...]
I absolutely loved this Mod birthday stamp I got made by Inkadinkado but never used it until now for this birthday card I made for my nephew. Here is the process of how I made it: I used the Inkadinkado Mod Birthday Wood stamp for the sentiment and then made [...]
Who knows why but I was inspired to make christmas ornaments in july! My goal was to try out my nestabilities and the other die cuts that I got but never used. I don’t have an ornament hanger so I had to make due with my glass container. I should get one of those things. [...]
My goal was to make a bookmark for myself. My color palette was a design paper I had with red, black, silver and white. As I was making it, I didn’t really have a plan, I just kept embossing, cutting, glueing, embossing again, cutting and glueing. Then I stamped my name but when it was [...]
My kid is, for lack of a better word, obsessed with road signs so I thought it would be the perfect theme for his birthday party this year. I had the idea to make some road sign invitations and sleeves to hold them. At the end of this post, I’ve placed the printable high resolution JPGs [...]
I had a Jacob pin left over (the movie was amazing by the way!) and I know someone who loves the Twilight series as well so I thought i’d give her the pin and make a coordinating box to go along with it. I didn’t measure for this project, so these are estimates on size [...]
Going with a group to the premiere of Eclipse and one of the girls is making shirts so I thought I’d return the favor and make pins. Here is what I came up with. I started out by punching with my 1 1/2 circle punch the base for the pins out of [...]
I wish I would have set a little more time aside to have put more thought into this card for my Dad for today but still I am glad with the results and he liked it as well. My inspiration was all the cards and boxes I saw recently where people fashioned paper pieces into a ‘tie’ [...]
Came across this really great looking technique to double emboss a card front using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Nestabilities. It’s a long process to get the chipboard template you need but once you have that, you should be able to use it over and over again. The results are great. I’m going to try [...]
My niece had her 2nd daughter this month and we are going to see her for the first time at our memorial day cookout. I thought i’d make her a card for the occasion to put her gift inside. I think I had a much easier time with this card since before hand I had [...]
Okay, I’m putting it out there … my very first card. I see things I like and things I don’t like now that it’s done. Over the weekend I found these great fabric leaves at a yard sale and instantly thought they would look good on a card or a scrapbooking page. That was where [...]
