Noel with a Little Bling & Glitter

Hi all, I hope everyone is enjoying this warm weather we've been having here.......I would love it if it would stay this way for the whole winter :)

So onto today's post.....I thought I would try the new Want 2 Scrap Nestabling and the Nestaboards, the awesome thing with these is they match your spellbinders dies, so the possibilities are endless. Also, I actually didn't use any stamps to make this card, so I hope you all enjoy what I did with them!!!





Products Used
Cardstock: Red, Green and Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium 12x12- Tis the Season

So, I cut my card with the grand labels die, I love how you can make shaped cards with the grand dies, just gives you so many possibilities and I think out of all the label dies this is one of my favorites!!! I also cut all my layers with the die. I adhered the Graphic 45 paper to the nestaboard and edged it with the new Tim Holtz Festive Berries Ink. I added the scor-tape to my red cst and then cut the Noel out, then I applied the glitter. I used the Glue Gloss on the edge of the card and applied glitter. The rest is just putting it together........well I hope you all have a great week!!!.......until next time......

The 3D part doesn't stand out as much in the pic, but in person you can really see the difference!!! Then I inked up the cream cst for both of the cards with my distress inks and my blending tool. For the tag one I stamped it with the Father Christmas stamp set and my black archival ink, then I sprayed both of them with the Perfect Pearls Mist, they are really shimmery in person, but of course it doesn't show up well in the pic :)....then using my adhesive I mounted them onto the cardstock. That's pretty much it for these cards.......really simple to make and the 3D effect is awesome!!!

Poinsettia with a Shimmer

Hi all, wow this month sure has gone fast.......it's almost November and soon it will be Christmas!!! So is anyone actually ready for Christmas? I know I'm no where near ready!!! When you think about it, there's really not much time left, I guess I had better get busy and start doing some of the Christmas gifts that I want to make!!! ....So while I am on the subject of Christmas......I thought I would make a Poinsettia card, this is from the new Penny Black stamps that we got in! 



Products Used
Cardstock: Burgundy, White and Gold Shimmer
Ink: Versamark
Misc.: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder-Holly Stripes, Tsukineko-Gold Embossing Powder, Copic Marker- R89, Distress Stickles-Aged Mahogany and misc. pearl flourish

So I stamped the poinsettia 3 times with Versamark and then embossed with the gold EP and fussy cut it so that I was able to layer the 3 sizes of petals and then coloured them all in with my Copic marker, then added the distressed stickles to the petals. Pop dotted the Poinsettia over the 3 panels that I embossed with my folder and cut. Stamped and embossed the sentiment and added some pearl flourishes that I coloured with my Copic Marker. So that's it for this card...........the poinsettia and the gold shimmer paper look so much better in person!!! Well I hope you all have a great week and a Happy Halloween!!! Until next time......................

Happy Halloween and Flying Crows!!!

Products Used

Cardstock: White, Black and Purple

So here's how I put this together.....I used the blending tool with all of the distress inks to create the background, then I sprinkled some water on it to make the inks react. I stamped the crowscape stamp with the StazOn, then I sprayed it with the Perfect Pearls Mist and of course the pearly sheen doesn't show up on the pic! :) I really wanted the crows to stand out, so I used my Versamarker and coloured them in and used the Aged Black Embossing Powder. I absolutely love the new Stampendous Powders!!! For the sentiment I used the 2 distress inks and then I stamped the sentiment with the StazOn, then I added the lace to the bottom of the sentiment and that's pretty much it for this card.

Products Used:

So for this card I actually sprayed the tiles with the Perfect Pearls Mist- Perfect Pearl (of course this doesn't show up on the pic) and then added the seam binding ribbon and bow, which I coloured with the Tim Holtz Distress Stain- Spun Sugar. I stamped the saying with the Lipstick Pink and embossed it with the Black Soot EP. Then just did some, well a lot of layering with the Out of Print and cardstock. I also used the Cherish Punch on the pink cardstock and patterned paper and then layered them and of course it needed some bling! :-) That's pretty much it for this card...........I hope you check out my tutorial and enjoyed my card...........till next time.......

Vintage Bird Cage Card

Hi all.........We finally have gotten in the one La Blanche stamp that I have been wanting for a long time, so I decided that I would pair it up with the Prima Printery Collection of papers. I think that these papers are one of my absolute favourites, so vintage and yet you can do pretty much anything with them. So here's my card and feel free to leave comments :-), we all love comments!!!

Products Used
Inks: Ranger Archival Ink-Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Fired Brick, Faded Jeans, Tumbled Glass, Frayed Burlap, Weathered Wood, Bundled Sage, Vintage Photo and Forest Moss

So here's how I made this......I used the Antique Linen Distress Stain on the cream cst and then I stamped the Bird Cage with the archival ink. I used the Cut N Dry Nibs and the Distress Inks to colour it in. Then I die cut the 3 butterflies from the Prima paper and layered them with the black cst cut from the scalloped circle die. I used the prima papers for layering and then I added the bling.Of course I just had to add the Rock Candy on all 3 circles and the Lovely word, then pop dotted them onto the card. Well that's all for this card......you really have to check out the Prima Printery Collection and the La Blanche stamps they are both so awesome!!! Till next time....................have a great week!!!

Feature Product Post and a Giveaway!!!!

Hi all, well it's that time again for another Featured Product and this time it's..................Tim Holtz Tools!!! I chose to play with his Distress Tool and Sara decided to use his Craft Knife........and if you would like to win one of his tools............go to the bottom of my post for the deets.

Here's what I did.................

Products Used:

Cardstock:Coredinations Red and Green, White and Authentique Wonder 6x6 Paper Pad
Stamps: Unkown Vintage Christmas Stamp
Inks and Stains: Tim Holtz Distress Stains- Antique Linen and Fired Brick, Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Peeled Paint and Fired Brick

When I saw the new Authenitique Wonder line I just had to make a Christmas Card!!! I love the vintage look of this new line.......so here's how I made this. I used the distress tool on everything.......I covered the white cst with the antique linen distress stain and then stamped on it with the peeled paint ink, once it was dry then I applied the rock candy distress crackle paint. Then I used the antique linen stain again, this way it seeps into the cracks to give it that old vintage look. I used the 3 icons and the 1 notable from the Authentique Wonder collection and added some rock candy distress stickles to all of them. I coloured my seam binding with the fired brick stain, these are awesome for dyeing your ribbons!!! The rest is just layering, curling some of the corners and distressing.

So I hope you all enjoyed my Christmas Card in August :-)...............so now for the deets.....

Hi all....well it's time for another Showcase Monday on the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog and this time we are doing Wonderful Whimsical Kids........so I decided to do a girl's birthday card and I wanted to do something kinda fun.......so here's my take on it.........

Here's the front of the card....................


and I actually even did the inside for this one.....................



Products Used:
Cardstock: Dark Purple, Light Purple and Kaiser Craft Magic Happens 6"x6" Paper Pad
Stamps: Flourishes- Kids at Play and Gina K Designs - Wishes and Dreams by Alicia K


So I picked up some of the new Fran-tage embossing powders from Stampendous and they are amazing......I have used quite a few of the colours now and you can get actually two different looks from them.....how you ask??? If you heat it from the top it gives you one look and if you heat it from the bottom it gives you another!!! You really have to try this stuff it's amazing!!! It actually tells you on the jar to heat it from the bottom and if it wasn't for one of our awesome customers....thanks Arlene!!!......I would never have known. Who reads instructions anyways.....lol.......it's just embossing powder!!! :)

When I found out we had to do a Kids Theme......I was seriously wondering what I was going to do.....then I remember that I had the Kaisercraft Magic Happens 6"x6" Paper Pad and it has such cute fairies and then I remembered I also had the Flourishes- Kids at Play stamp set, so I thought that this would be a good combination to make a great birthday card for a little girl!

So, here's how I made it.........I used my spellbinders dies to cut out 4 of the diecuts then I used my embossing folder on one of them and with my blending tool and the dusty concord ink I highlighted the raised image and around the outside. Then on the dark purple cst diecut I used the stamp with the versamark and then embossed it using my new shabby blue embossing powder, hey, did I mention that I love this stuff yet :)......then I thought that it just needed a little something, so I used my scor-tape and the mixed berries glitter around the die cuts..........and what little girl doesn't like glitter!!! Now I adhered my embossed image over the embossed diecut, Then I used the corner chompers on the patterned paper and all 4 corners of the card, then I added the ric rac and pop dotted the diecuts to the front of the card. I added a sentiment and little more glitter and of course some bling!!! The sentiments are from Gina K set.....I thought they matched perfectly with the card!!! Well that's pretty much it for this card..........I hope you all have a great week!!! Until next time............

Go and check out the embossing powder at Scrapbooker's Paradise Online Store you just never know what else you might find while you're there!!!

Sew Nifty Card

Hi all, so who's ready for another card??? We got the cutest stamp and die set in from My Favorite Things and I just fell in love with the little scissors!!! So I decided to use it for this post.....and I even used my favourite colour.........Purple!!! So onto today's post..........


Products Used:
Cardstock:Black, Dark Purple, Light Purple, Green and Ranger Metal Foil Sheets
Inks: Ranger Archival Ink Black, Black StazOn, Tim Holtz Distess Inks- Dusty Concord and Milled Lavendar, Tsukineko GlazOn and Ranger Alcohol Ink Nature Walk
Misc.: Tim Holtz Hangers, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder- Measure by Measure, Seam Binding, Black Floss, Needle, Tim Holtz Ruler and misc. brad


So first I stamped the dress form, then I cut the foil with the dies and then I applied the Glaz On, (this way when I apply the alcohol ink it won't react with the StazOn) now I applied the alcohol ink to the dress form. I just love these dies, they are just soo cute!!! For my tutorial on how to line up your dies and stamps click here. I stamped the lt. purple cst with the stamps and both distress inks. I embossed the green cst with the measuring tape folder and inked it with the dusty concord. I dyed the seam binding with the distress ink pads and crumpled it up, then I dried it with my heat tool and adhered it to the top above the embossing. I stamped the saying on the punched shape and sewed around it adding a tiny bow at the corner. I hung the 3 little die cuts from the hanger with jump rings and added a small piece of the dyed seam binding. Then I used a brad to attach it. Well that's pretty much it for this card..........so until next time......................Have a great week!!!

Cards Stamped with Acrylic Paint!!!

Hi all, well it's time for another tutorial on the Scrapbooker's Paradise Blog........and this time we are playing with Acrylic Paints, I used the Ranger Acrylic Dabbers, this is such a fun way to expand your stamping! So check out this post for my tutorial!!! This is the card that I did..............

Cardstock: X-press It Blending, Coredinations Tim Holtz 12"x12"-Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters

Misc.: Ranger Acrylic Dabbers- Pearl and Gold, Ranger Ink Blending Tool and Pink Paislee Daily Junque Twine

For the deets on how I did the stamping with the acrylic dabbers....click here. So all I did to finish this card is I used the Coredinations Shabby Shutters CST for the card and layered the Tumbled Glass CST over it. Then I used the Scallop corner punch on only 2 of the corners of the stamped piece. I added the twine and adhered it to the card. Now I die cut the banner and stamped the sentiment with the black archival ink and used the blending tool to apply the distress inks, this was pop dotted up in the center. That's all for this card! I hope you all have some fun playing with the acrylic paint dabbers!!!

Here's another card I did:


Products Used:
Cardstock: White, Black and Kaiser Craft Chapter One- Motive and Beginning

Dies: Spellbinders Labels 4 and Labels 4 small
Misc: Ranger Paint Dabber Pearl, Want 2 Scrap Bling Strips, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists- Hula Hoop, Dragonfly, Olive Vine and Electric Blue

The only thing I did different with this card is I used the Tattered Angels sprays instead of the distress inks.........there are so many options when you use the acrylic paints.......so have fun getting inky or should I say painty!!! :) That's it for this time.........so until next time.......Have a great week!!!

Birthday's & Parties


Hi all......well our theme this month is Birthday's & Parties and I'm the lucky one to get this started!!! So I had purchased a couple of the Spellbinders dies and a matching Flourishes stamp set......can you guess which ones??? I really love that Spellbinders has teamed up with some of the stamp companies and now we have the matching dies to go with our stamps! Not that my pocketbook likes it :)........so onto today's post..............and yes I did a Birthday Card...........:)


Products Used
Cardstock: Light Turquoise, Dark Turquoise, Magenta, White & My Mind's Eye Lime Twist 6"x6" Paper Pad- Happy Go Lucky
Misc.: White Tule, Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist- Forever Violet, My Mind's Eye Lime Twist- Smile Twine & EK Success Punch- Diamond Lace

I really had to play with these papers again, I just love the bright colours and the patterns in these papers......so to start off, I edged the butterfly paper with the diamond lace punch and added some of the tule, which I had sprayed with the Forever Violet Mist. This was pop dotted over the floral paper. Then I added a small stripe of dark turquoise and layered it with the magenta stripes. I die cut the pennants and stamped them with the Momento inks and the Flourishes set. For an added touch I used the twine and stitched across the top of all the pennants and tied a bow on either side. Well, I guess that's pretty much it for this card. So until next time............and have a great week!!!
