Velvet Stamping

First project for the day is now under my belt.

I used some purple velvet from Hobby Lobby along with Royal Velvet cardstock and the goodies from the Renaissance era box. I am really enjoying reading all the wonderful information from each era.

Since I had to work today and missed the start of all the festivities I was planning on working the eras in order when I came home but you know what they say about the best laid plans...

This is what happened to the start of my first project.

My mom came into my craft room and laid some puzzles she had gotten for the grand kids on top of my wet embossing paste covered paper. Then while I was stamping this border I laid the side of my hand in the ink before it had a chance to dry. It's all good, I moved on and will come back later.

Let the FUN begin

Stamp-a-faire has already kicked off but unfortunately here in Nebraska I am getting ready for work.

There will still be much fun to be had when I return so no worries.

Here are a couple photos of my craft room before the tornado hits.

(not that it is really organized to begin with)

I wish everyone loads of fun today!!

3D Organizer

Oh I have to say this is my favorite project lately!!

It is a 3D Organizer with a Drawer from the Silhouette Store.

The paper used is from the pad called "Artist" from Paper House.

It is such a favorite that there are now 4 of them in my stash!!

I also used my Silhouette to sketch the little headshot that Betty designed for me over at Simply Betty Stamps.

Cover Plate Negatives

This week the Make it Monday challenge is to use the negatives from your cover plates. Unfortunately I do not have a PTI cover plate so I used the next best thing....the Framed Friends Die. The sentiment is from the Banner Sentiments stamp set. The card is in honor of the Stamp-a-faire celebration this Saturday. Who else is excited???

This is the card I made for the challenge last week but was not exactly thrilled with it and did not get it entered in time. I used the Clock Face die and the Hello Friend stamp set.

Fun with SVG kits

It was so much fun creating these projects from SVG Cuts.

You may have seen both of these on facebook also.

This first one is from the Dress Shop svg kit.

I used 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon to make a beautiful accented skirt.

This second project was intended for my mom on Mother's Day but I went a different route.

It is from the Surf Shack svg kit.

The wonderful flower was make using crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM.

Creative Card Borders

The Make It Monday #175 challenge, over at Paper Trey Ink, this week is to make cards with creative borders without using an actual border die. School starts on Tuesday and I thought it would be nice to send a card to the grand kids teachers. We have a 4th grader, 1st grader and preschooler this year. Only one more and they will all 4 be in school.
