Sing A New Song ...

Today is Friday and I have a Design Team project up on the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Blog.

I LOVE using the Kreaxions punches to make borders, whether it’s on a layout or a card. I just think border strips add something special to a project.

I created this card “Sing A New Song” using the Kreaxions punch #303. I made a border strip and then used it to frame the banner piece. I use the left over pieces from the punch to put in the corners. And everything I used was from my hoarded stash … well except for the Prima Flowers … which I could not resist.

Dreaming Of Spring

It’s Monday and that means a new challenge is up on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is “Dreaming Of Spring”.

I will admit that I am a Pinterester. Every once in a while I’ll find a recipe that I think is worth trying or a paper craft and/or card that looks interesting. I found an adorable bunny card here and just had to lift it.

My take on the card:

Two cards to share today ...

I have two projects to share today.

First a card for the March Mini Crop Challenge at Turtle Soup.
The four-leaf clover is an uncommon variation of the common, three-leaved clover. According to tradition, such leaves bring good luck to their finders, especially if found accidentally. In addition, each leaf is believed to represent something: the first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.
My challenge to you is to use one of the words that represent one of the leaves on a four leaf clover on your project - faith, hope, love or luck.

Check out the details at Turtle Soup.

　

　

The second project I have to share is a design team project for the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Crafts Blog.
I created this card by using the 4 in 1 Kreaxions punch #904 with no insert to make the border strip for the top of the card.  I used the star stencil and the #904 punch with no insert to create the doily.  I used the circle cutter to cut my circle for the middle of the doily and applied my sentiment.  The ribbon, stickpins, flower and pearls are all from my stash.

Use Green

It’s Monday and that means a new challenge is up on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is “Use Green”.

I created this card using supplies from my stash along with some clip art I downloaded from the internet for free.

St. Patrick's Day Card

Today there is a Design Team Reveal up on the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Blog.

I created a St. Patrick’s Day card using the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch # 909. I used both the positive and negative punched border strips, along with the extra pieces. The Kreaxions punches give you so many possibilities! I also used up scraps from my stash and my favorite technique … distressing. Be sure to visit the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Blog and check out the rest of the Design Team projects.

 

Make A Wish

It’s Fabulous Friday and I have a Design Team project up on the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches Blog.

I created this Make A Wish card using the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #903 with no insert for the green border and the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #311 with no insert for the white border. I then wove a strip of pink cardstock in between the punched areas on the white border to add a pop of color.

Anything But A Square

It’s Monday and that means a new challenge is up on the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog. This week the challenge is “Anything But A Square”.

I made this card using my Cricut and the Wild Card cartridge and I will have to admit some new Prima flowers. A few new supplies never hurt anyone lol! … and I did have a 40% coupon for them.

Iron Chef Sam

My Friday Design Team project for the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches Blog.

I’m attacking my stash and using all those little bits and pieces left over from projects that logic says toss in the wastebasket. Some of those bits and pieces are just too pretty to toss aren’t they?! I’m making the most of my stash and using my favorite papers to the very last scrap.

When crating this page I wanted to add a pop of red here and there. What better way than to make little border strips using the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch # 916 with no insert.

Second a layout for the Design Team Sketch Revel at Turtle Soup. I really tried to stay true to my goal and use up supplies from my stash. The card stock, patterned paper, paint, glimmer mist and chip board were from my stash … but I had a coupon for JoAnn’s and well … I wanted to try the new paint system Bare Metal from Tattered Angels and who could resist those Prima flowers? And besides the coupon was for 40% off and then I got another 15% off. Now I couldn’t pass up a deal like that could I? lol!

Be sure to check out the other projects by the rest of the design team.

 

March Sketch Challenge

 

 

My take on the sketch.

... and yes that is one of my grandson's on top of three skateboards!

 

 

 

 

The Bare Metal Paint System by Tattered Angels was amazing to work with!
