Crafter's Companion 11th Birthday Celebration

Hello friends!

I'm just popping in quick to let you know about the FANTASTIC birthday celebration going on right now over at Crafter's Companion USA. This is the time go go shopping!!!

25% OFF and FREE SHIPPING and FREE GIFTS!

The Die'sire Create-A-Card Base dies worked PERFECTLY to create fun interactive cards by using one of the smaller Create-A-Card dies (Rosie set) on the front of the card to cut a window. Just simply score the uncut edge and you have a hinged "PEEK-A-BOO" window card.

What a great card for the celebration...right?!

I used the Bebunni Peek-A-Boo Stamp set to stamp the images. I stamped and did paper piecing for added dimension and interest. The coloring and shading is done with Spectrum Noir Markers - CR3, IG1, BG1, TB9, LV2, DR6, CR7, GBR1, BGR3, Blender. For some sparkle I colored over the balloons, gift tag and ribbon with Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.

You can see shop the available sets HERE. Hurry while they are on SALE! :)

September 2016 Calendar Page

Happy Friday friends!

I've been so busy with EVERYTHING lately. How about you? I finally got a chance to get this months calendar page posted for you to see. Check it...

Since most schools are back in session by September, I decided this page would be encouragement to achieve. I'm loving how it turned out! Here's how I made it:

Stamp image from Textures - Journal Jotting stamp set, using Chipped Saphire Distress Ink.
Stamp sentiment from Sentimentals - Ornate stamp set, using Fired Brick Distress Ink.
Stamp images from Sentimentals - Ornate stamp set, using Scattered Straw Distress Ink. Add Yellow stickles glitter glue to some of the stamped areas. Set aside to dry.
Die-cut the small bird and wing from Just For Men Paper Pad Brights Collection. Use GB4 Spectrum Noir Marker color in the stars on the wing piece.
Sponge Chipped Saphire ink around edges of wing, and Fired Brick ink around edged of bird.
Adhere wing and rhinestone to bird body. Attach bird to calendar page using dimensional foam tape.

Isn't it great how you can "Achieve" a fantastic little design with just a few stamps, dies and inks? You could used this design for a card front too!

NEW Create-A-Card Card Base Dies

Happy Friday everyone! Crafter's Companion just launched a brand new line of dies. Die'sire Create-A-Card Card Base Dies! They are FANTASTIC! You gotta check 'em out. 6 new sets of dies that cut a perfect shaped card base! YAY!

Here's a fun card I made using the Ruth Create-A-Card Card Base Die.

I LOVE this shape! It can be used for so many crafting styles. As you can see, it worked perfectly for a "dude" card.

I die-cut the base card using Crafter's Companion Kraft Cardstock. I used the Just For Men 6" x 6" Checkerplate embossing folder to add texture to the bottom of the card. To finish the top edge of the textured area, I cut super thin strip of paper from the Just For Men 6" x 6" Paper Pad Urban Collection paper pad and adhered. I also added a thin strip at the top of the card edge. Don't you just love how small bits of detail like that really add to the design?!

I went to town using a bunch of goodies from the Just for Men Colletion by Sara Davies. What a fun card for that special "dude" ;) All the cogs and gears are die-cut and embossed with the best silver mirror cardstock on the planet! (shhhhh! It's from Crafter's Companion...and is coming soon! But you didn't hear that from me.) Some fun stamping and distressing. "Happy" is actually die-cut through the card front with a piece of designer paper from the Urban Collection Pad adhered on the inside of card -- to the back of the card front. Then I die-cut a single panel of the same size die from kraft cardstock and adhered the back of the card font... to give the inside a professional finish.

I die-cut 1 layer of the smaller size "Ruth" die, from a piece of Just for Men designer paper by placing the "non-cutting edge" of the die at the edge of the paper. After die-cutting, I lightly sponged distress ink before adhering to the inside of the card. We don't see a lot of crafters posting the inside of a card...so I wanted to make sure YOU know that the inside does matter. Bringing in some elements of the card front to the inside of the card really makes it "Epic" ;)

I'm loving all the new goodies from Crafter's Companion. And...there's more to come...just sayin ;)

Let's ROCK 'N ROLL!

I LOVE these "Rock N Roll" Style stamp sets by Sheena Douglass from Crafter's Companion. SIX NEW SETS NOW AVAILABLE! Go get them all! ;)

I used 3 of the sets on my card. The main image is from the Shout! set. The sentiments are from the Sing set. The stars and distress are from the Grunge Band set.

All the images are stamped on Crafter's Companion Kraft Cardstock. Soooooo quick and easy...but it looks like a lot went into it...right?! Just sponge some distress ink around the edges of the panel and BAM! It totally comes to life! I also used a white gel pen to fill in the word Sing on the sentiment. Totally makes it pop, doesn't it! On the stars, I painted on some Moonlight Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.

The panel is mounted to black pearl shimmering cardstock and mounted to a card base made from the shimmer cs. I love how the brick designer paper frames the main panel. That paper comes from the new Just For Men Signature Collection by Sara Davies - 6"x6" Paper Pad Urban Collection.

July 2016 Calendar Page

Hello friends. Just poppin' on here quick to share my July calendar page. Believe it or not...it was really hard to decide which stamp image I wanted to on this months page. Crafter's Companion has soooooo many fantastic patriotic stamp images! I went with the Patriotic Pride Stamp Set. It's packed full of stamps that can be used all year long. If you don't already have this set...go get it! I KNOW you'll love it.

I stamped using Salty Ocean and Festive Berries Distress Inks. That was easy...right ;)

For the stars, I made my own shimmery yellow cardstock by coloring a scrap of white cardstock with my Spectrum Noir Moonlight Sparkle Pen. After it dried, I die-cut 3 stars using the smallest star from the Superstars Die Set, which is part of Sara's Signature Collection Just For Men. I added glitter to the edges and popped up with dimensional foam adhesive.

This would make a fantastic card design. Just add whatever sentiment you like.
