Thursday Trigger: The Kraft Journal: "Something Old/Something New" Challenge

Our "Something Old/Something New" Challenge at The Kraft Journal is in full swing and there is still plenty of time to join us. All the details regarding this challenge are available by clicking on our Current Challenge link that is located in the top right sidebar of our blog.  You have until this Sunday at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time to enter for a chance to win prizes and adorable blog buttons too!

To create this Sympathy card for our Something Old/Something New challenge, I combined a sentiment stamp (Through the Trees by PTI) that I have had for well over a year (and had yet to use) with one of my new Parisian Accents Spellbinders dies.

I started by creating a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch base card from Buff Ivory Cardstock. I then border punched white cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card. On top of that I layered Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock and patterned paper. I also die cut Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock and white cardstock and layered it to create the focal point for the card, as well as a pretty place to stamp my sentiment for this clean and simple card.

Imaginisce Happy Harvest Release Party

It might be summertime here in the United States...but at Imaginisce this week, it's Happy Harvest Time!  I hope you hurry on over there to join in the Happy Harvest Release Party festivities... catch a glimpse of all the great projects created with the Happy Harvest products by our dedicated Design Team and get in on a chance to win some outstanding prizes too!

The "Simple Joys" chipboard sticker from the Happy Fall Chipboard Sticker set was a perfect piece to use as the focal point for this simple and elegant card.  I paired Autumn Splendor patterned paper with Hawaiian Shores cardstock that I embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder on a Dark Chocolate cardbase.  A Dark Chocolate ribbon finished the project.  For fun I submitted this card into the CAS-ual Friday "Getting Edgy" challenge.

A Rustic Cream cardstock base is the backdrop for this Happy Fall card that features the adorable Owl from the Fall Friends Icon Die Cuts set.  I border punched Terra Cotta tile cardstock and layered it with Dark Chocolate for a backdrop to a piece of Dancing Leaves patterned paper. Die cut Scalloped and Silver Stackers Ovals (Cheery Lynn Designs) formed a base for the Owl to perch upon. For added detail I topped the card with a Terra Cotta Tile ribbon, a Tim Holtz Note pin and added a leaf from the Fall Friends Icon Die Cut set to the pin top.  For some bling I adhered Glitter Hot Rocks with my Imaginisce I-Rock tool.

To see more fabulous projects using the new Happy Harvest Collection, head on over to the Imaginisce Blog and join the Happy Harvest Release Party going on all week long!

Thursday Trigger: The Kraft Journal "Welcome Summer" Challenge

Our "Welcome Summer" Challenge at The Kraft Journal is in full swing and there is still plenty of time to join us. All the details regarding this challenge are available by clicking on our Current Challenge link that is located in the top right sidebar of our blog.  You have until this Sunday at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time to enter for a chance to win prizes and adorable blog buttons too!

For this "Welcome Summer" challenge I created a card featuring a fun summer sentiment that I found online.

I also created a flower from Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock by punching out three scalloped circles, spritzing them with glitter mist and layering them with a Salt Air doily as a finishing touch. Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock from Kraft Outlet is the perfect weight and texture to make handmade embellishments...this paper is a Papercrafter's must-have staple!

New Border Carnival from Cheery Lynn Designs

This week we are showcasing the newest Cheery Lynn Designs dies officially released on June 15 and for my card today I am giving top billing to the new Border Carnival die that just makes me swoon (and I bet it will do the same to you as well!). I am not afraid to say that this is my new FAVORITE... look at the beautiful detail on this border! It is so beautiful in fact that I wanted it to be featured on this card, so I left things very simple.

Important Note:  This border dies comes packaged on a piece of cardboard and I have a little secret for you... if you go ahead and leave the die attached to the cardboard and then add a Cuttlehug to your stack as well... it will cut like BUTTER... seriously all those little pieces from the intricate details will simply fall out when you pull the die from the paper. 

Instructions:

1. Create a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch top fold card from dark blue cardstock.
2. Cut a piece of patterned paper to 4 x  5 1/4 and adhere to card base.
3. Die cut two Border Carnivals from white cardstock, trim to size and adhere to card front.
4. Die cut Silver Stackers Oval Nesting Die from white cardstock and stamp with sentiment.
5. Die cut Scalloped Oval Nesting Die from dark blue cardstock and adhere to back of sentiment oval; pop up on card with dimensional adhesive.
6. Adhere Glam Rocks with I-Rock tool.

That's all for today, but be sure to visit the Cheery Lynn Designs blog every day for more inspiration from the Cheery Lynn Designs team!

GCD Studios June Technique: Define Your Style and Pinwheel Tutorial

I am always envious of scrapbookers who can immediately respond to the question, "What is your scrapbooking style?" Despite the fact that I started scrapbooking way back when you only had some cardstock and a few stickers to choose from, and now with all the great patterned paper and embellishments choices we have available... I do believe I am still struggling a bit with what my "style" really is...

BUT... when faced with this month's GCD Studios Technique project to "Define Your Style", I found myself pulling out a pile of my favorite layouts from the past and taking some time to really study them. (I recommend this for anyone who is still trying to find their own style!!)  I discovered that... from what I can tell, I have a tendency toward a more Classic-Clean style. That's not to say that I don't make an effort to jazz things up a bit now and then, because once in a while I do (although it doesn't come naturally by ANY means)... Still, for the most part the layouts I create and feel most pleased with are very similar to what I have to share with you here today. Which is good... since that's what this month's technique is all about... defining your own style!

I started this layout with a 12 x 12 sheet of Kraft cardstock and paired that with both the front and back sides of "Trick Pony" from the Fun House Collection by Tina Higgins, that complimented the main colors in the photographs (especially my grandson's bright orange shirt). For additional interest, I added chipboard flags and topped my handmade pinwheels with elements from the FunHouse Collection Chipboard Shapes.

With my computer and printer, I typed up a journal block onto Spring Rain cardstock (Papertrey Ink) and cut it out using Tim Holtz Alterations "Tags and Bookplates" die. The finished size of the tag is just slightly larger than three inches wide and I cropped my photos with my trimmer to three inches so that all four elements would fit across the 12 x 12 page. I then placed all my elements onto the page....and...ta-da, one Classic-Clean layout... am I right?

Now before you run off to take a look at your own layouts to determine your style (you are going to do that, right?)... I want to show you how I created the cute little pinwheels I used on this layout.  The directions are quick and so easy too!

Simply start with a square piece of two-sided patterned paper.  For my large pinwheels at the bottom of the layout I used 2 x 2 inch pieces and for the smaller pinwheels I used 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Fold your square into a triangle two times as shown.

Unfold the paper so that you can see the "X".

With scissors, cut each one of the lines almost to the center.

Place a small dab of glue on the center of the paper and fold one corner of each of the cut sides toward the center allowing the glue to hold each piece firmly.

Add an embellishment of your choice to the center of the pinwheel to hide the glue and then apply to your project! Note: I stick the end of a pencil into each one of the loops to fluff them up a bit after the glue has dried completely.

That's all there is to it...  and by the way, "what's your scrapbook style?"

Thursday Trigger: The Kraft Journal Father's Day Challenge

Our "Father's Day" Challenge at The Kraft Journal is in full swing and there is still plenty of time to join us. All the details regarding this challenge are available by clicking on our Current Challenge link that is located in the top right sidebar of our blog.  You have until this Sunday at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time to enter for a chance to win prizes and adorable blog buttons too!

This card features another image from The Vintage Workshop's Father's Day Collection and it pairs perfectly with Brown Kraft Coverweight Cardstock and Buff Ivory Cardstock from the Kraft Outlet that I layered with patterned paper.  The sentiment is a stamp from Papertrey Ink. Twine, a button and Tim Holtz Note Pins completed the front of the card.

I finished the inside of the card with Buff Ivory Cardstock, more patterned paper and added a decorated Buff Ivory envelope to complete the project.

Papercraft Star and Cheery Lynn Designs New Release Dies

This week at Papercraft Star we have a challenge that I hope will inspire you to join us!  All month long, our Design Team has been sponsored by Tradefish Designs and we are running dual challenges at the blog.

I played along with the Design Team all this month in order to help the team feature projects created using our June Design Team sponsor, Tradefish Design's stamps and in an effort to showcase the fun and versatility of these stamps as well.  I think there has been a real niche open in the papercrafting world  for masculine stamps like those designed and produced by Tradefish Designs and I am thrilled to be a part of showcasing this new product to papercrafters. I used the letters S.T.A.R to inspire me when I created this card.  I  used, S - "stamps', T - "Twine", A - "Alphas" and R - "Ribbon" to complete the project and I can't wait to see what you use for inspiration to create your own...

and today, in addition to the new challenge over at Papercraft Star, we've got some exciting new dies from Cheery Lynn Designs being showcased today at the Cheery Lynn Designs blog!  To see the newly released dies for June and all the Designer projects using these magical dies, visit the blog today!

More Selective Embossing with Cheery Lynn Designs

A few weeks ago I showed you a new technique that I learned to selectively emboss your card front using Cheery Lynn Designs Embossing Plates, and Card-Maker's Stackers.I loved the technique so much that I wanted to do yet another card for you today using this same technique.  For this card, I used the Fleur de lis and Card-Maker's Stackers Rectangles to create my Selective Embossed card front.  This card also features the Scalloped Diamonds Border, Sweet Williams and the leaves from Judy's Blooms.

To recreate this card:

1. Selective Emboss the front of a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card made from white cardstock. (See Tutorial)
2. Die cut border and adhere to side of card as shown (trim as needed to fit).
3. Die cut Sweet Williams from light and dark purple cardstock and adhere together.
4. Die cut leaves from green cardstock using Judy's Blooms die and adhere to cardfront.
5. Adhere flower to leaves on card front and adhere pearl to flower.
6. Stamp sentiment.

Papercraft Star Executive Team Reveal: Cheery Lynn Designs and Jillibean Soup

Our current challenge at Papercraft Star is another fabulous sketch from Liz Chidester and we want you to use her sketch as inspiration to create any project your crafty-heart desires and then enter it for a chance to be selected as our next Papercraft Star! You'll find the link to our challenge with the details and the place to enter your project in the upper right hand of the sidebar of our blog.

Remember that this month we are challenging you to use our weekly theme as a dual challenge.  You can decide to either create a project using just our theme... or put a masculine twist to our theme and enter that project, or both for two chances to win prizes or be voted as our next Papercraft Star... now, how fun is that?!.

On Wednesday, I used this sketch along with stamps from Tradefish Designs to create a masculine project and today I am using just the sketch. To create my project, I started with some bright and cheerful patterned paper from the new Jillibean Soup, Blossom Soup on White Collection mini papers. I layered patterned paper onto Red Poppy and Lemon Tart cardstock from Papertrey Ink. Added some Lemon Tart Ribbon, a stamped sentiment and a flower die cut using Cheery Lynn Designs Judy's Blossoms flower die.

Thursday Trigger at The Kraft Journal: It's a Guy Thing Challenge

Our "It's a Guy Thing" Challenge at The Kraft Journal is in full swing and there is still plenty of time to join us. All the details regarding this challenge are available by clicking on our Current Challenge link that is located in the top right sidebar of our blog.  You have until this Sunday at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time to enter for a chance to win prizes and adorable blog buttons too!

For this "Father" card I started with a digital image that I purchased from The Vintage Workshop, this is actually one image from their Father's Day collection (you'll see another image next week for our Father's Day challenge).

To create this card I layered patterned paper and Buff Ivory Cardstock on a black 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 top-fold card base. I matted the digital image to match that I also printed on Buff Ivory Cardstock. I "aged" three tags from the Designers Special Natural Tag Assortment with mist and Tim Holtz Antique Linen Re-Inker ink.  A gray brad from my stash and Black Twill Tying Tape finished the project.

GCD Studios: May Technique: Using White Space as a Design Element

I recently had the pleasure of taking a "Back to the Basics" Layout a Day (LOAD) class led by Lain Ehmann. One of the challenges was to create a scrapbook page that utilized white space. Lain explained that white space is defined as, the empty spaces in a design and that it is not always white, but rather the empty parts of the page that lack graphics or text in a layout. She went on to say that, "Space should be treated like a design element on your page, just like the title, the journaling, your photo… don’t just think about, it, make room for it! Let your other page elements BREATHE."

I love that she then went on to say that it wasn't until she'd become more comfortable with scrapbooking that she was less likely to cover the entire sheet of cardstock with something." For myself, I've only recently been "playing" with the idea of "white space" in my scrapbook layouts, so I was delighted when I learned the technique we would use on our May GCD Studios Design Team projects was this very technique...White Space!




Using White Space

 Now remember, I said that I'm pretty new at using this whole "white space" thing, so I opted to literally use white cardstock as my "white space" (I'm original like that... ha). I started by printing my journaling out (using my word processing program) on a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock and cutting it down to fit the space I wanted as the "white space" in this layout. I then paired the white cardstock with patterned paper from two different and delightful  GCD Studios collections.

The foundation for the layout and the patterned paper mat under the photograph are "Sunday Morning" and "Chocolate Bunnies" from the Youthful Eggsuberance Collection (who says you can't use Easter-themed papers for more than just Easter, right?!!) and for added interest, I used bits of  "Test Your Luck" and "The World's Greatest" from the Fun House Collection. With the exception of the simple banner (created with a triangle punch) at the top left of the page, I chose to group the photo and other elements together to create the white space in this layout.

I have to admit, I'm starting to feel a bit more comfortable with this whole "white space" technique, next time I might even try creating it with something other than white cardstock.... because, I'm daring like that... kinda.

Papercraft Star Sketch with Dual Challenge...

I used the Liz Chidester sketch that you can see at Papercraft Star this week to create two projects... one you'll see later this week for our Executive Team Reveal on Friday as well as this one today, using stamps from our June Design Team Sponsor, Tradefish Designs.  I used the Tradefish Designs, "TV Time" stamps and flipped the sketch on its' side to create this masculine card as part of our dual challenges this month.  Just as a reminder, you can use our theme this week to create any project of your choosing, or use it to create a masculine project like the one I created here.

GCD Studios May Theme: Mother's Day

Mother's Day was last month's theme assignment for the GCD Studios Design Team members and I'm now delighted to finally share one of the first projects I created since my recent selection to this fabulous group!

I created my card using Soft Stone cardstock (by Papertrey Ink) that perfectly compliments the delicate  "Sweetie" glitter patterned paper from the Sweet Surrender Collection by Tina Higgins shown on this card.

The pretty little buttons I used to embellishment the die cut circle are also from the Sweet Surrender collection. I loved how the buttons are threaded onto the cardboard they are packaged with and decided to simply trim around each one to keep the thread intact. This meant there was no need to root around on my craft desk to find my reading glasses to thread my own needle and the cardboard backing was the perfect place to dab on a bit of hot glue to attach them to my card too! Bonus!

To recreate this card:

1. Create a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch cardbase from Soft Stone cardstock.
2. Cut piece of "Sweetie" patterned paper 4 x 5 1/4 and adhere to cardbase.
3. With word processing program print "Happy Mother's Day" using "French Script" font onto Soft Stone cardstock; die cut into circle and adhere to card front.
4. Die cut border from Soft Stone cardstock and adhere to card front.
5. Wrap card front with white ribbon and tie into bow;trim ends of bow.
6. Adhere pre-threaded buttons.

Other supplies used to create this card:
Ribbon: Papertrey Ink: "Soft Snow"
Dies: Spellbinders: "Standard Circles, Large" and "Parisian Accents" border.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink: "Soft Stone"
Other tools: computer, printer, and Big Shot die cut machine

Gratitude Card with Cheery Lynn Designs

Today I have a quick and easy card... that's filled with COLOR and cute flowers too from the Cheery Lynn Designs May release, Darling Daisies. I also used the Small Oval Classic Silver Stackers Nesting Dies, the Scalloped Oval Nesting Dies and the Scalloped Diamonds Border.

To recreate this card...

1. Create a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 top fold card from yellow cardstock.
2. Cut a piece of patterned paper 5 1/4 x 4 and adhere to card front.
3. Die cut a piece of coordinating patterned paper using the Scalloped Diamonds Border die; adhere to card front.
4. Die cut Darling Daisies from patterned paper and green cardstock, assemble and adhere to card.
5. Die cut Silver Stacker Oval from white cardstock and stamp with sentiment; adhere to yellow cardstock die cut using the Scalloped Oval and pop up on card with adhesive foam.

GCD Studios Assignment: Pile on the Layers/Handmade Embellishment

One of the first GCD Studios Design Team 2011/12 assignments was to create a project that incorporated a handmade embellishment with lots of layers. I've just been looking for an excuse to scrap a photo I took of my oldest grandson Jack with his mother (my middle daughter; Cait) on her twenty-first birthday back in January, but the color of Caitlin's shirt was posing a bit of a challenge for me to find just the right patterned paper to use on the layout. I loved the bright colors of the photograph and didn't want to change the photo into a black and white or sepia-toned photo like I might normally do in cases such as these.  At any rate, when I recently recieved my GCD Studios Design Team supplies and saw the bright patterns featured in the Homespun Chic Collection by Melody Ross, I knew this would be the perfect collection to use when creating a layout that featured this photograph.

I matted the photograph on deep royal blue cardstock (from American Crafts Winter Collection) that coordinated well with the blue tones found in the Homespun Mod flocked patterned paper I added at the center of the layout and matted that onto a piece of Petit Blossoms paper. I also added a small strip of the reverse side of the Homespun Mod paper and layered a row of tiny pearls on top of that, to the right of the photograph, because this layout was all about layering.  I used large pieces of the reverse side of Homespun Garden paper on both sides of the layout to create interest and balance.  A tag from the blue cardstock and glittered alphabet letters on white cardstock made the title pop on the page.  I printed a quote from Agatha Christie onto white cardstock that I cut into strips and layered onto the patterned paper.  Handmade pearl-topped flowers, a brad from the Melody Ross Homespun Collection, Homespun Brad set,  stamped leaves and Parisian Accents (Spellbinders) cut from the blue cardstock completed this layered project.

I used Die-namics (My Favorite Things Stamps) Rolled Rose and Rolled Flower dies to create the handmade flowers from blue cardstock. Other supplies included: Certainly Celery Ink from Stampin' Up, Turning a New Leaf die and stamp set and a tag die by Papertrey Ink, Pearls from Hero Arts and Pink Paislee "Sweetness" Glitter Alphabet Stickers. The Raspberry Fizz ribbon used on the tag is also from Papertrey Ink and tied together with Pink and White Baker's Twine purchased at Really Reasonable Ribbons.

Papercraft Star Photo Inspiration Challenge and Dual Masculine Challenge

For the entire month of June our Design Team at Papercraft Star is being sponsored by Tradefish Designs , a company devoted to creating stamps with masculine themes, imagery and sentiments.

In recognition of these masculine stamps we are holding DUAL CHALLENGES all month long. As a participant in our challenges you can choose to create a project using the current challenge theme as it is written or take it a step further and use the challenge theme to create a masculine project, or you can even choose to enter two projects, one for the regular challenge and one for the challenge with a masculine twist.

As a special gift to the winner of each week's challenge, Tradefish Designs will award one stamp set (selected by the winner) to our top Papercraft Star too, so we hope you join us all month long.

For our inspiration this week, we have a photograph from Amy Atlas Events (above) and we are asking participants to use this photograph to inspire Anniversary or Wedding projects or use it to create a masculine project (or both).

I was inspired to participate in the dual challenge this month and used the inspiration photograph to create this "Grandpa" card that features stamps by our Design Team sponsor, Tradefish Designs. I chose to basically ignore the Anniversary or Wedding restriction of our challenge this week,  in order to create a masculine card because... I just had to use this week's gorgeous photo as inspiration for a Father's Day card that I planned for my grandson Jack to give to his grandfather.

I hope our participants in the challenges this month at Papercraft Star take advantage of our dual challenges for each week and feel free to step outside the box to create masculine projects using our themes for inspiration.
