Family Valentines Day 2014

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

 

 I hope you all are having a great day.  I have a last minute valentines gift for you.  It's a great little thing that you can put together in just a few minutes and great for that quick Valentine's drop off next door.  

This week the Cuttin' and Stampin' design team is working with the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes paper pack and the Paper Smooches Just a Note stamp set.  I also used the Paper Smooches Scalloped Circles dies, Fiskars heart boarder punch and some Bazzill Cupcake cards stock. 

 I have to tell you that I finally received my We R Memory Keepers Trim and Score board and it's AWESOME to use.  I've been crafting on a card table in my living room with stuff in my pink Craftsman took bag and on the floor around me.  So when I saw this new took that takes the place of two other items I had to try it.  And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!  You can get you one from me for $22.50.  Retail Price is $29.99.  

I started with my pink paper and cut it 8"x8".  I then left it on the board and scored it at 2.5" and 6.5".  I turned the paper 90 degrees and scored on the same marks again.  I then turned the paper on a 45 degree angle and used the cutting guide to score the corners.

After I scored the paper I folded it into the shape of a open box.  I just used some tape to secure the 45 degree flaps to the inside of the box.  I used the heart boarder punch on 2" pieces of the pattern paper and secured it around the top to add a boarder.

I used the Paper Smooches dies and cut 2 each of two different sizes of the scalloped circles.  I cut in between each scallop and flipped them up with my fingers.  to create the ruffled look.  I used the smallest scallop circle and cut the middle piece of the flower.  I stamped "hi" on the inner circle and popped it up with foam tape.  I then stamped out the pen, cut it out and also added some foam tape.  

Of course I finished it off with a goodie bag of my favorite treats.  At the last minute I used some black Wink of Stella on the pen and to go over the "hi".  It will be perfect for visitors that will be stopping by. 

You can stop by the store and pick up all the items that I used here today. 

Thank for stopping by and remember you still have until Monday night to enter this week's challenge.  Anything goes with a writing instrument.

{Simple Banners Step By Step Wednesday}

Hi friends,  Madge from Madge's Scrappin Lounge and I would like to welcome you to my very first Cuttin' and Stampin' DT post!!! EEK I am so excited to be with you all today! Every other week I will be bringing you a step by step type of project! Sometimes it will include a video tutorial and sometimes it may include a picture tutorial.  Let's get started shall we?? 

Remember this weeks Challenge is- Anything goes with a writing instrument.

 I used the Paper from Crate Paper the Maggie Holmes line!

First I took Three different 6x6 pieces of pattern papers and took my 2" banner punch from American Crafts and punched out 5 banner pieces from each piece of pattern paper. Making a total of 15 pieces.

(I just punched along the the bottom of each sheet of paper)

I then took this piece of paper from the Maggie Holmes line from Crate Paper

I cut the tags out across the top.  After cutting my 15 banner pieces and my 4 tags I then took several different paper embellishments and placed them in two lines on my table in  patterns.

I then took some of the new lace ribbon from 3 Girl JAM 

Now for putting your banner together! Who is ready for this quick step by step???

1. Take lace ribbon and cut to desired length, layout on table. (I made two banners with the elements that I cut)

2. Take 1 by 1 (the pattern that you made with the banner pieces, paper embellishments and tags) and using a stapler, staple each piece onto the ribbon leaving about 1/8" to 1/4" in between each piece. Continuing the pattern design you laid out on the table earlier.

4. When you are done stapling on all of your pieces, you can add some simple embellishments such as bling, buttons, stamps etc. 

5. Repeat steps 1-4 to make two separate banners or you can make one long banner it is up to you.

6. Now you are ready to hang your quick and simple banner. (The following photos of the completed banner are in my Living Room and complete my home decor piece I have in my home)

*This is a close up of the completed two banners, don't you just love how they turned out??*

*This is the completed corner in my Living Room.  I took an Old Door that had broken windows and put some chicken wire in its place. I placed it in the corner, Stacked up 3 old suitcases opening the top one which hold some of our families scrapbooks and a basket full of my mini albums.  An Old Ironing Board sits to the side of it on the left and on the right a burlap typewriter picture.  I love how the banners added so much to the door and the pictures hanging with clothes pins are the perfect touch.

I hope that you enjoyed my banners and step by steps today! Be sure to visit Cuttin' and Stampin' Store to get your Maggie Holmes Scrapbook goodies today!

Cuttin' and Stampin' Challenge #14-6

February 11, 2014

Weekly Challenge - Anything goes with a writing instrument.

In this day and age of everything electronic, I've noticed that I've forgotten how to write.  I've recently signed up to be a pen pal and I went to write my first letter and was completely amazed at the writing on the page.  Talk about atrocious.  When my co-workers have given me grief about my handwriting in the past, I've just blown it off as they can't read Tammy Hieroglyphics, but maybe they were right.  So this being a pen pal will make me practice my penmanship and make my slow down and think about what I'm putting on paper.  With all that being said.  

Paper Smooches had this awesome stamp set called Just a Note.  I couldn't wait to use it.  Then there's the Maggie Holmes paper collection.  It makes me think dreamy and whimsical. 

Using these two things the Orange Cuttin' and Stampin' design team has come up with some great inspiration projects for you to check out.

Mixed Media Monday Feb. 10

Michele from Stuff by Belle here today sharing my very first mixed media project (YAY), I am super excited to be a new member of the Cuttin' and Stampin' design team.  I am on the green team and this week is all about sweethearts!  We are using Doodlebug Sweethearts collection and you can find it at the Cuttin' and Stampin' facebook store.
I made this card, perfect for a SWEETHEART.

Along with the Doodlebug I used some UmWow Studio layered cloud chipboard pieces covered in gesso.  My clouds are raining hearts!!  Perfect Pearls make the drops and all but one of the hearts are UWS heart confetti covered in Distress paint, stickles and enamel gel.  The one special 'sweet'heart is Doodlebug pearl from the cupcake assortment.  The sentiment is a Paper Smooches stamp and the twine is from the Twinery.

 Thanks for stopping by today!  Come back and visit us soon...until then get inky often!
