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.

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.

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!

Watch the HSN show on your TV or on-line. This amazing 24-hour event will be full of crafting inspiration, ideas, and demonstrations

Happy Haunting

Hello friends,

I've got a really REALLY COOL way to make a window card. It's super easy AND gives you more ways to use those Create-A-Card Bases Dies and Edge'ables Dies from Crafter's Companion. The complete tutorial is over on the Crafter's Companion website.

This card turned out even better than I had imagined.  I love when that happens :) Can you believe this was all done using only white cardstock?! YEP! Distress ink blending, along with coloring the images with Spectrum Noir Colourblend Pencils is all that was done. Pencil colors used: Pewter, Black, Taupe, Sage, Avocado, Pear Green, Jade, Peach, Cream, Saddle Brown, Pumpkin, Nectarine, Velvet, Blackberry.

I also want to point out how you can use non-holiday dies on a holiday themed project to get even more use out of them. The Edge'ables - Classic Chandelier die set works perfectly for this Halloween theme. Or how about using the Classic Wedding Bells Edge'ables die set for a fantastic Christmas theme.

To make the bats, I stamped the bat that is on top of the spooky martini stamp.  Then I colored and fussy cut them out. I also added a touch of micro-fine black glitter on the bats & sentiment letters.

TODAY on HSN

Hello everyone! Today's the day! Sara Davis is on the HSN Show with oodles of great products from Crafter's Companion USA and Spectrum Noir!  Click HERE to see the schedule and other details.

One of the fantastic new MUST HAVE items on the show is the fantastic Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Watercolor Pencils. Seriously...these pencils ROCK! I colored this with 'em...

I stamped and heat emboss the Magnolia Blossom from Sheena A Little Bit Floral collection with gold embossing powder on Spectrum Noir Watercolor Cardstock. Then I watercolored the flowers and background with Spectrum Noir AquaBlend watercolor pencils from the Naturals set (Lagoon, Aqua, Jungle Green, Oregano, Bison) and Primaries set (Claret, Carmine).

After it was completely dry, I stamped in the background using Delicata Golden Glitz Ink. The little flowers were stamped and embossed in gold, trimmed and adhered.

I also used the Edge'ables Only Words Die - For My Special Friend. To create the gold shimmer behind the cut out letters, I inked a strip of white cardstock with the Golden Glitz ink and adhered to the back.

Card base is made from Crafter's Companion Rose Pearl Shimmering Cardstock. I think this card turned out absolutely stunning.

I know you're gonna love these new Spectrum Noir AquaBlend watercolor pencils. They make coloring fun and easy :)



Enjoy the show!

NEW Die'sire Edge'ables Sneak Peek!

Here's another peek at some of the goodies from Crafter's Companion that will be featured tomorrow, Wednesday, March 16th on the HSN Show.
 

 
I used three Die'sire Edge'ables dies on my card. See the one at the top...the one with the birds? It's BRAND NEW! That's right folks...more FUN NEW dies to add to your collection!

Making cards and other projects with theses dies is sooooo simple. Here's how I put this one together:

1. Diecut and emboss sentiment border die from 2" x 5 1/4" white cardstock panel.
2. Diecut and emboss flower border die from 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock panel. Before removing die from paper, lightly sponge with yellow ink. Remove die and sponge with more yellow ink.
3. Diecut and emboss another flower border from a scrap of white cardstock and sponge with yellow ink like the first panel. Fussy cut 5 of the flowers to use for embellishments.
4. Diecut and emboss birds border die from 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock panel. Sponge with blue and yellow ink using same process as the flower border die.
5. Layer and adhere with dimensional foam adhesive to 5 1/2" square cardbase. Embellish with additional flowers, ribbon and rhinestones.

That's it! Adjust the panels sizes, as needed, if using other border dies. Use any color of inks and papers you like. No stamping on this one ;)

Hope you can tune in to watch the HSN Show. I can't wait to see all the samples demonstrations Sara Davies will be sharing using the Edge'ables dies and more!

Rainbows and Daisies

Hello friends! Here's a fun and cheerful card that is sure brighten someones day.

I diecut and embossed the Thank You So Much Edge'ables Only Words die on a white cardstock panel. Then I stamped the daisies from Sheena A Little Bit Sketchy Poppies and Daisies set. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink. I love how that ink catches all the fine little details of stamp images so perfectly.

To create the bright rainbow of colors, I sponged a white card base with distress inks. The white die-cut Edge'ables panel really pops with the brightly colored background! A few shiny colored sequins is all that was needed to give that extra little bit of interest.

Happy Birthday Edge'ables

Hello friends. Here's a fun birthday card I whipped up with one of the great Crafter's Companion USA Edge'ables dies - Wishing You a Happy Birthday.

 
Isn't that cool! I scored and creased the stepper card base, then placed the Edge'ables Die on fold of the first "step edge, and ran it through my diecutting machine. So simple! Behind the cut out (Happy Birthday), I put a piece of glittered white cardstock.

That's it for today. Quick and simple. Check out all the Edge'ables Dies on the Crafter's Companion USA Website HERE.

Happy Crafting!

NEW O' Holy Night Edge'able

YAY! More NEW Edg'ables over at Crafter's Companion USA! Christmas goodies galore. I'm totally lovin' all the wonderful new products CCUSA has been releasing - especially all the dies.

Here's a card I made using the NEW Die'sire Edge'ables Christmas Only Words - O' Holy Night die

Using white cardstock, I die-cut and embossed the word border die. To add the black embossed areas, I left the paper in the die and colored them with a VersaMark Marker, Next, I went over the same areas with a Memento Tuxedo Black Marker, then carefully removed the paper from the die, sprinkled on the clear embossing powder and heat set.

This new word border die works together perfectly with the O' Holy Night Create-A-Card die from the new Die'sire Create-A-Card Christmas Collection. The sentiment is stamped and embossed on a die-cut star with crushed glass glitter around the edges.

Using Kraft Cardstock, I die-cut and embossed the CAC die twice from. With the die left in place, I used it as a stencil to apply the white ink. The ink really brings out the details of embossed areas.  On one of the panels, I cut the off trees and arch, then popped up that piece with foam adhesive tape on top of the full cut out piece. The Edge'ables border is popped up on top of all that, with crushed glass glitter underneath.

The card base is black cardstock sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Spritz. The stamped rays, from the Textures Artist Collection - Walls and Corners stamp set, are embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder. I die-cutting some stars using the CAC die and Gold Dust Shimmering Cardstock. Three of the stars are adhered over baby Jesus, 4 more are at the top of the card.

Inside the card, I stamped the rays with Desert Sand Memento dye ink. The sentiment is stamped and embossed. The angel is a die-cut from the CAC die using the Gold Dust Shimmering Cardstock, then embossed with Liquid Platinum EP.  I really love how this card turned out.

Die'sire Prestige Only Words Christmas Dies

Die'sire Prestige Only Words Metal Dies from Crafter's Companion USA create beautiful die-cut and embossed elements. Well guess what! They just released MORE of these fantastic dies for Christmas! YAY! The NEW Prestige Only Words Christmas Dies are perfect for Christmas card designs and projects.

Here's a card I made using the new JOY die, along with another new die that was recently released - the Edge'ables Christmas Fancy Borders Snowflake Die.

It's hard to capture the great shimmer and shine from the embossing glitter on the Joy die, but it's there.

BONUS! You can use the Joy die beyond Christmas projects. Simply layer a solid circle on top to cover "joy" and you can use it for any occasion. Or you could cut off the "joy" leaving a nice open area for a stamped image, shaker card, photograph, etc.

I backed the center of the JOY die with a circle of the NEW Forest Green Shimmering Cardstock. I used the same cardstock to die-cut & emboss the NEW Snowflake Edge'ables Die - and made the top-fold notecard from it as well. The brown snowflake paper is printed from the Nordic Christmas Papercrafting CDROM. It's great because you can print as much as you need!

I carried the design through to the inside of the card, adding a stamped and glitter embossed sentiment from the Vintage Christmas Collection Sentimentals - Home for Christmas Stamp Set that paired perfectly with the theme. The snowflakes were die-cut from the border die using scraps, then cut away from the border to make single pieces.

This card really feels and looks luxurious. The Shimmering Cardstock is smooth and heavyweight, and makes the best die-cut and embossed pieces. You really must try this cardstock for die-cutting and embossing.

Happy Crafting,

Edge'ables Reindeer Dance

Hey there! The NEW Edge'ables Christmas Fancy Borders Dies are NOW AVAILABLE over at Crafter's Companion USA

I used the new Reindeer Dance Edge'ables Die on my card.

After die-cutting and embossing the reindeer border die, I added crystal glitter to some of the areas. A few red rhinestones on the snowflakes too. See how sparkly it is... all the great embossed detail?!!! LOVE

The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed white. I printed the PERFECT digi patterned paper from the new Nordic Christmas CD-ROM. It's soooo nice to be able to print papers anytime I need them. I totally recommend buying it!

Edge'ables Christmas Snowflake Sneak Peek

Hey all you Crafter's Companion USA Fans! I hope you've had time to join us for our 8th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop. TONS of great deals and prizes! Click HERE for my blog post on all that.

Today I get to share a sneak peek at one of the brand new Christmas Edge'ables Dies that are being released the end of this week.  Here's the NEW Snowflake Edge'ables Die...

This die will work with any Christmas or Winter themed project. I diecut and embossed the Snowflake die using Candy Red Shimmering Cardstock (on SALE right now during the Birthday Celebration Week). To make the single snowflake, I just diecut a scrap piece of the red cardstock on the larger snowflake -- trimming out as necessary to shape it.

You can just diecut the cardstock and skip the embossing for a more simplified look. But the embossed detail of this die is beautiful. 

For the card base, I embossed white cardstock using the NEW Nordic Christmas Scandinavian Village 6"x6" Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from Moonbeam Meadows Christmas - Rudolph & Friends Stamp set -- heat embossed in red.

Glitter and sequins...yes please :)

Stay tuned...more NEW goodies are just around the corner.


Have a great day!
