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.

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 :)

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!

Baby Patchwork Quilt

Hello friends. I'm back today with another baby card. If you love embossing folders...you are gonna "need" this one! :)

I ran the Patchwork Quilt Embossing Folder through my Gemini with cardstock that is blue on one side and white on the other. Then I sanded off the raised embossed area. This classic technique has been around forever, and it never gets old! I also sanded off around the edges of the panel, which not only give it a nice finished edge, but gives the appearance of another layer. I attached the panel with dimensional foam tap on top of a couple more layers of cardstock and then to a white card base.

My idea for this card was a baby quilt that has cute little appliques in every other square. I die cut some of the Baby Accessories Dies from white cardstock, added glitter, heart rhinestones, then adhered with dimensional foam tape. I made the sentiment tag to look like one of those personalized "hand sewn by" tags. I added glossy accents on top of the die cut for added dimension.

The inside of the card is also decorated with a panel of yellow card stock that I scored around the edges and sanded off. Then I added the die cut birdie in the bottom corner. Some glitter accents and it's done. So cute!!!!



As always, thanks for stopping by. I hope this inspires you with some fun papercrafting ideas.

DIY Baby Photo Frame

Hello friends! I have another project to share using the Sara Davies Signature Collection - Little Angel from Crafter's Companion. I took a plain boring photo frame and totally transformed it! Look how CUTE it turned out! (BTW...that's my youngest when she was born)

I die-cut a bunch of the Little Angel Baby Accessorie Dies using white cardstock and patterned paper from the Little Angel 12" x 12" Paper Pad. I stacked and adhered the pieces to make them thicker and dimensional, then attached to frame with foam adhesive tape.

I used a piece of the patterned paper to slip into the slot where the picture goes, then adhered the photo to that. Super duper easy! The Little Angel Collection can be used for non-baby projects as well...just don't use the baby specific items.

Little Angel

I adore the new Little Angel Collection from Sara Davies of Crafter's Companion. Did you know this collection is now available? YUP! Check out the collection on the Crafter's Companion USA website.

Here's a project I made

I used several products from the Little Angel Collection to create my card. To start out with, I used the Dotty Clouds Embossing Folder on the front panels of the card.  Then I embossed another piece of white cardstock and cut out a few of the clouds. I covered them with white Fun Flock and then sponged light yellow ink around the bottom areas. The clouds are popped up on the card front with dimensional foam adhesive. I used a few clouds on the inside of the card too.

 I diecut some of the Baby Accessories Dies using papers from the Little Angel paper pad. They are sooo cute! On the inside of the card I adhered panels of patterned paper. The die cut circle frame with Baby sentiment is from the Beautiful Baby Die Set.

The card base was easy to create using Crafter's Companion Create-A-Card Fancy Card Blanks. I did finish the card with some crystal clear sequins. This card really is sooo cute in real life.

Check out our Pinterest Gallery that's full of great ideas using the New Little Angel Signature Collections Products.

March 2017 Calendar Page

Here's my calendar page for this month. As an added bonus...I've got a Tip-to-Tip Marker Blend Technique Tutorial over the Spectrum Noir Blog.
 

To make the 4-leaf clover and pot of gold, I used a heart die and pocket die from the Crafter's Companion Little Angel Signature Collection by Sara Davies - My First Outfit Die Set. This collection is baby themed, however I was able to use it for something totally different. I love stretching my supplies and using them in ways there weren't intended.

But wait! I have a double-bonus for you! An adorable 4-bar size note card.

I used the same heart and pocket die, and added in the shirt die

Here's a little story. Some of you might relate. When I was a kid, on St. Patrick's day we would go around look for someone who wasn't wearing green so we could pinched them!
LOL!

So the first thing that popped in my head when I was making a St. Patty's Day card was to WEAR GREEN to avoid the pinch! And there you have it. A shirt with a lucky 4-leaf clover on it.

The embossed detail on the shirt die really stands out by sponging on some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. And the sequins.....BLING BLING! Love it!

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,

December 2016 Calendar Page

Hello friends. I've been away from blogging for almost the entire month of December. And now we are 1 week into January of 2017. MAN does time fly. I hope you are all doing well and had a nice holiday.

Here's my last calendar page for my 2016 Calendar Project. I hope I've inspired you to make your own calendar for 2017.

I diecut the Snowflake Trio dies from the Crafter's Companion - Sara Davies Signature Collection - Festive Wonder using a Stick-It adhesive sheet (no paper...just the adhesive). Then I carefully removed 1 side of the release paper from the die-cuts and placed on the page. Before removing the top release paper, I lightly sponged blue ink around the snowflakes. After removing the top release paper to expose the sticky adhesive, I covered the snowflakes with crystal microfine glitter. Oh MAN is it ever sparkly.

The little house (which I'm sure on the inside was decorated beautifully for Christmas 😉) and trees are pieces that I snipped off of the Scenic Borders Die Set from Crafter's Companion Contemporary Christmas Collection. I also added some white snow "dots" using a white gel pen, and a few light blue rhinestone gems. I just love how clean, cool and simple this page turned out.

Here's all the pages from my 2016 Desktop Calendar:
