Happy Valentine's Day

Today is Friday and I have a card up on the Just Imagine Crafts Kreaxions Punches Blog.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day I created this card for a special someone. I used the star stencil and the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #905 with the A insert to create the doily. I cut the doily in half to fit at the top of the card. I embellished the card with finds from my stash.
Happy Valentine’s Day

A Design Team reveal and a challenge

I have two projects to share today.

1) The Design Team Reveal is up on the Just Imagine Craft Kreaxions Punches Blog.
I created a layout using a photo of our grandchildren (our daughter’s 6 little blessings).
The border strip and the large doily are created using the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch # 905, Template B and the Circle Cutter.

 

 

2) Today I’m hosting the Sunday Card Challenge at Turtle Soup. 
My challenge is to make a card with hearts on it.
One of my goals for this year is to use up my hoarded supplies ... I mean my plentiful scrapping bounty. So I created this card with items from my stash.
I use a piece of craft cardstock and some string from my stash. I inked the edges with some ColorBox fluid chalk ink (it has to be at least 5 years old).  I cut the hearts out using my Cricut and then  I stamped and heat embossed them (I guess embossing powder never goes bad). The sentiment is computer generated. Check out the details for the challenge in the Turtle Soup forum.

Valentine's Day Treat Boxes

It’s Friday and I have a project up on the Just Imagine Crafts Blog. It’s almost Valentine’s Day and that means treat boxes for some special co-workers. I made these special treat boxes by recycling some of those little plastic containers that you get raspberries in. Working on my goal for this year I used paper from other paper crafting projects and embellishments from my stash. I wanted to add that “something special” and did so by creating fancy edged strips of paper. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punches #902, #903 and # 916. Be sure to check out the Just Imagine Crafts Kreaxions Punches Blog to see the projects from the other designers this week.

 

 

 

Valentine's Day treat cone

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

I was in an antique store and found a stack of old sheet music. I knew I would find a use for it. I made this Valentine treat cone using my Cricut and the winter Woodland cartridge. Adding a few embellishment from my stash completed the project.

Lots of circles

I know I have said this before … but the Kreaxions Circle Cutter is one of my favorite crafting tools. It just makes cutting circles so easy. Since I needed a lot of circles to complete this Birthday card it was the perfect tool to use.

And staying true to my goal for this year I created this card by not only using supplies from my scrappy stash but scraps left over from other projects.

 

Hello

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

I am sticking to my goal and using up my scrappy stash. I had forgotten I had this patterned paper by BasicGrey. All this blue was perfect for the challenge.

Thank You Very Much

It’s Friday and I have a Design Team project up on the Just Imagine Crafts Kreaxions Punches Blog.
I set up a goal this year to use up my scrappy hoard … I mean supplies, I created this Thank You Very Much card using the following:
Patterned Paper is October Afternoon (2011)
Brad is from MME (2011)
Versa Magic Chalk Ink ( I don’t even know how long I’ve had it ?)
The sentiment is a rub-on phrase from who knows where ... and I have not purchased rub-ons in years.

And of course I had to try out some of my new punches!
I used the following Kreaxions products:
Star Stencil, Circle Cutter and the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punches #903, #918 and #923.

Snowflakes

I hate winter, being cold, snow, wearing a coat … you get the picture.

With that being said I do love snowflakes and find them extremely fascinating.

[According to Wikipedia …
A snowflake is either a single ice crystal or an aggregation of ice crystals which falls through the Earth's atmosphere. They begin as snow crystals which develop when microscopic super cooled cloud droplets freeze. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity regimes, such that individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure. Snowflakes encapsulated in rime form balls known as graupel. Snowflakes appear white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small crystal facets.]


The theme for the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog this week is “Winter Wonderland”. I think this snowflake project expresses that perfectly.  I cut my snowflakes out of doilies and then sewed them together.

Make A Wish

The Design Team Reveal is up today on the Just Imagine Crafts Kreaxions Punches Blog. Be sure to check out all the fabulous projects by the Design Team!

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions but I sometimes have goals in mind for the coming year. This year I want to focus on using up some of my hoarded scrapbooking supplies. I have been wondering why I buy “all these” supplies if I’m not going to use them???

 

 

 I created this layout for my granddaughter’s album. I used some paper from Me & My Big Ideas that I purchased well over a year ago. I played around with a stencil from TCW Balzer Designs and some Galeria Carvable Modelling Paste, Ranger Ink and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. And that was just the start! I went through my embellishment stash and found some felt accents from Creative Charms, washi tape (from who knows where?) flowers from Imaginisce, a wand I picked up at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant while we were on vacation and some other goodies that were just waiting to be used. 

Then I got busy and I used the following Kreaxions products:
Stencil A, the Circle Cutter, Punch # 304 and Positioning Parts 8cm for the inside of the circle.

I find creating a stress reliever … almost like therapy lol!
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need MORE Scrappy time!
