Oh Holy Night Edge'ables

It's almost time for our next 24hr Crafting Event on HSN with Crafter's Companion! Loads and loads of amazing goodies! Join us and watch Sara and Jen Tuesday Oct 3rd starting at 2am ET.

I wanted to share a super quick and easy design I made with some of the products that will be on the show. I created this card to showcase one of the fantastic Die'sire Edge'ables Christmas Only Words Dies - Oh Holy Night.

I die cut the top edge of a panel of Gold Luxury Cardstock.  Then I embossed the bottom portion of the panel with Sheena's Festive Embossing Folder - Wise Travelers.  Next I tied a Black Luxury Satin Edge Organza Ribbon, from the New Sara Davies Black & Gold Signature Collection, around the panel.

To assemble the card, I adhered a panel of Shimmering Cardstock - Black Pearl to a white notecard base, then mounted the gold panel on top with dimensional foam tape.  Addin a few crystal rhinestone embellishments completed the design.

Cherry Green Designs

Hey everyone!
Have you seen the new stamp sets that were released today over at Crafter's Companion USA? Oh my goodnes! The NEW Cherry Green Designs stamp sets are soooooo fun! I made a sample card using the Boot-iful set.

So whatcha think? Super fun I say! I colored the image with Spectrum Noir ColourBlend Pencils, Blending Solution and Paper Blending Stumps. Here's the pencil colors I used:

• Boots - Mauve, Velvet, Blackberry, Smoke, Black, White 
• Flowers - Mauve, Velvet, Blackberry, Lemon, Canary, Pumpkin
• Leaves - Pistachio, Sage, Jade
• Feather - Pistachio, Jade, Ivy, Emerald, Lemon, Canary, Pumpkin, Nectarine, 

Are you wondering how I got the boot so white on kraft cardstock? Well...all I did was stamp the image on white cardstock, fussy cut the shoe out and paper pieced it to the panel. I also cut out a few of the flowers and leaves to pop up for dimension. 

Check out all the NEW Cherry Green Designs sets HERE.

3D Embossing Folders and Edge'ables

Today is the big 24 hour Craft Event on HSN. Sara Davies and Jennifer Tryon of Crafter's Companion are there with tons of great products, inspiration and demos. Hope you can catch them on the show today.

Here's a card I made using one of the fantastic 3D Embossing Folders along with a NEW Edge'ables Die.

I seriously LOVE how these dies and embossing folders turn a piece of cardstock into something so unique! I used green, red and silver Luxury Cardstock from Crafter's Companion. If I could buy a truck load of that paper I would! I just LOVE IT.

I even added some gilding paste to the embossed areas.  The picture below was taken at more of a straight on angle, so it doesn't show all the shine of the paper. But you can see the 3D embossing detail with the silver gilding wax on it.

Don't forget to check out all the Crafter's Companion and Spectrum Noir goodies that are available on the HSN website. If you missed seeing the live segment, you still can check out the products on their website.

Our Live Facebook Party will be going on the entire time during the event, so pop on over and join us there to chat.


Happy Shopping!

Lattice Corner Dies

Hi everyone. We are counting down the hours to the big 24-hr HSN Craft Event with Crafter's Companion. I have another amazing Corner Die project to share with you. Also on this project I'm using the NEW Sara Davies Signature Glamour Collection. Beautiful crafty goodies indeed!

The corner die I used is the Lattice Corner Die Set. I love how it has the stitched looking accents around the edge. I die cut the 2 corners of a panel of Rose Pearl Shimmering Cardstock, then adhered to a card base.

I want to point out that the card base is a Square Side Step Card Base from the Create-A-Card Fancy Card Blanks Set. I used it completely different than what it was intended. I turned it portrait and backwards -- which made it into pop-up card! Check it out on the inside...

CRAZY COOL...right?!!! What a great way to stretch your supplies!

So back to the front of the card. I die-cut the lattice corner die on 4 corners of a white cardstock panel, then stamped the sentiment and layered on black pearl cardstock. This entire panel is adhered with dimensional foam adhesive on top of the card front, which I had wrapped a ribbon around and tied in a knot.

I made the pink ribbon rosebud  out of the Hot Pink Organza Ribbon from the Sara Glamour Collection.

 Then I stitched it to the black satin bow and adhere to the card.

The inside of the card is all decked out with more of the Glamour Collection dies and embossing folder. I know a few little girls who would love to get this card :)

Like Sunshine to my Soul

These Die'sire Classiques Corner Dies from Crafter's Companion are CRAZY FUN!

This card design was so easy. I started out by die cutting the Heart Corner Dies on the front panel of an easel card bases from the pack of Create-A-Card Fancy Card Blanks. Before removing the dies from the panel, I blended a few distress inks on one of them and down to the first panel crease. I repeated the process on the back panel.

I left one of the panels white on the inside of the card, and then stamped flowers. So when the card is folded up you don't see it, until you open it up. The sentiment and images are stamped in black, and I added some die cut heart accents as well. Those were cut from the the corner dies. ;)

Then I die-cut 2 more corner dies from white cardstock scraps, and trimmed them out. Also blending some distress on them while die was still on the cardstock. These pieces I popped up on dimensional foam tape between the corner die-cuts.

The black ribbon and rhinestones really added to the card design. You can't really see in the pics, but I did add crystal glitter around the cut out heart of the corner diecuts

I love how this turned out! This is one of my favorite color combos. Looks like a sunset :)

Make sure to grab a set of Die'sire Classiques Corner Die sets available on the HSN Craft Event July 11th. It's almost here!!!! YAY!

The 24-hour event will be full of crafting inspiration, ideas, and demonstrations. So make sure to watch Sara Davies & Jennifer Tryon on the HSN show, Tuesday, July 11th, when they'll be sharing plenty of brand new products and innovative ideas with you!

The Best of Luck

Crafter's Companion is coming to HSN again on July 11th! I hope you will be watching and that you get your orders in to get some of the great new items. HSN crafting events always have great prices on bundles and shipping.

Here's a sample project I made using one of the NEW Long Word Edge'ables dies that will be on the show. These dies are perfect for larger card designs and scrapbook pages.

This card design is a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" blue Luxury Mirror Cardstock folded in half. Then I die-cut the Edge'ables Die at an angle. Totally takes a card design to the next level. Worked out beautifully with the Luxury cardstock because it's white on the reverse side.

The stamps I used on my card will also be on the show. They are new Sheena Douglass Stamps. Aren't they are stunning!!! Must have sets for sure! I stamped them on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock with Black Ink, then colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. Then I fussy cut the images.

What a magnificent greeting to send to someone!

This card turned out just how I imagined it. You can see how perfectly the Edge'able die cut through and embossed the thick mirror card.

I love how Sheena stamps are full of detail. That makes them so easy to color!

Make sure to mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 11th!

Crafter's Companion is coming to HSN May 9th!

I'm super excited for this next HSN Crafting Event on Tuesday, May 9th!!! Why?

Well...HELLO...Sara Davies and Jennifer Tryon from Crafter's Companion will be there! As if that's not exciting enough...Crafter's Companion has amazing NEW products that will be launched! And....(drum roll)....they are gonna be the "Today's Special" on the show! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Here's a project I made using the Create-A-Card Circle Centre Dies that are part of the bundle for the May 9th HSN Today's Special bundle:

The NEW Die'sire Create-A-Card dies are so much FUN! Wait till you see the show and all the great samples. Sara will demo how they work, so you won't wanna miss the show.

The pic below is more what it looks like all folded up. When the card is folded shut, it measures 5 1/2" square.  I diecut the base of the card using Crafter's Companion Pearl White Shimmering C ardstock. The butterflies are from another die set (which I believe will be on the HSN show as well) are diecut from Black Pearl Shimmering Cardstock, then rubbed with a bit of Silver Gilding Wax. Wait till you see THAT stuff! A must have in your craft stash!

The Circle Centre Die Set comes with a sentiment die that cuts in the center circle, but I cut it apart and just used the "thank you" of it and glued down on the card base. The flower panels are also part of the set, and I cut die-cut them green glitter cardstock. This Luxury Cardstock is also from Crafter's Companion and comes in a variety pack of different finishes in the same color family.

The silver mirror cardstock for the circle frame is also from a pack of Luxury Cardstock. I die-cut 2, adhering 1 on each side to sandwich the string that I put in the middle. That way it not only hides the string ends, but gives a professional finish to both sides. I love how when you open the card, the center circle flips open.

Here's a quick video showing the card in action.

The butterflies on the card base are popped up on dimensional foam adhesive. The butterflies on the string are sandwiched with a dimensional foam adhesive.  I added some matching rhinestones to the center of each butterfly.

Make sure to mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 9th!

April 2017 Calendar Page

It's April! That means it's time to flip the calendar page. I seriously love how this months page came together. Totally makes me think Spring. I used the most adorable Die'sire Essentials die set from Crafter's Companion called Nature, along with beautiful papers from Sara Davies Rustic Cottage Signature Collection 6"x6" Paper Pack.

To create the soft yellow background on the page, I used a Mini Ink Blending Tool to apply a light blend of Mustard Seed Distress Ink.

I die cut extra layers of the branch and birds from kraft cardstock, and adhered them together to make the them thicker. This makes them sturdy, and easier to adhere to the page. The cloud to the far right is popped up with dimensional foam adhesive, the other 2 are glued flat to the page.

For a little Spring bing bling, I added tiny rhinestones to the eyes. And because it's Spring...I gave momma bird a nest to sit on.


Have a great day!

Back of the Net

Happy Monday crafty peeps! Here's another sneak peek project of some new products from Crafter's Companion that are coming Wednesday March 8th to HSN.

The NEW Die'sire Edge'ables "Back of the Net" Die set. Fun...right?!!! I also used the New Die'sire Classiques - Only Words 1" Alphabet Decorative Uppercase and 1" Numbers & Punctuation Decorative Die sets. The little yellow flag was created from a die out of the New Cherished Memories Die & Stamp set from the Rustic Cottage Signature Collection by Sara Davies.

It was so easy to make the window using the soccer net die. I positioned the die where I would want the corner of the window, then ran it through my Gemini die-cutting machine. Since this is an "Edge'ables" die, the bottom section of the dies is not cut off. After removing the die, I cut out the rest of the window with a ruler and X-Acto knife. Easy as that! I used some fun decorative tape to go round the edged of the window. The black and white stripes are perfect for the soccer theme. For a little extra texture, I put the die back over the ball and sponged on black ink. Then I used a Versamark pen to color over the entire ball and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

  

Here's a look inside the card. The "Back of the Net" Die Set comes with 2 balls and a shoe die. I die-cut the balls and shoe through the blue cardstock panel, then adhered. To make the shoe red and black, I die-cut the shoe again again with red cardstock,  using the pieces to inlay on the design.Then die-cut again from black cardstock, and cut it out to adhere on top. Super easy I tell ya!

Make sure and tune in to HSN on March 8th for the big crafty event! Sara Davies and Jennifer Tryon are ready to BLOW YOU AWAY with all the great new product. They are gonna show some great samples created by the design teams, and demonstrate fun ways to use the products.

2017 Calendar

It's time for my new year calendar. For the cover, I went with a simple design.

I stamped images from the Spectrum Noir Colorista Elements 3 Stamp Set from Crafter's Companion on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock. Then I colored them with Spectrum Noir Colorista Markers - Set 6.  I colored over the tiny flowers with my Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen. The numbers are die-cut twice - once from the colored image and again from Kraft Cardstock.

The number dies are from Sara Davies Signature Birthday Party Collection - Fun With Numbers that were recently released on HSN.

I fussy cut the tiny flowers and added a clear droplets to the centers. I layered the kraft cardstock on the backs -- but slightly shifted. This really adds dimension, and pulls it together with the inside calendar pages.

For the January page, I die-cut the pieces from a super fun Essentials Die'sire 6 piece Treats Mini Die Set that Crafter's Companion just was also just released on HSN.

The mug is die-cut from Watercolour Cardstock 2 times. I colored the pieces with Spectrum Sparkle Pens, then layered the pieces together.

• Mug: Moonstone, Aquamarine & Peacock
• Coffee: Smoked Quartz
• Steam: Clear

I just love the shimmer that the Sparkle Pens have. And...they color on the watercolour cardstock ah-mazing! Isn't that die-cut doily adorable?! The mug is popped up with dimensional foam.

Have a wonderful day,
