Canada Ink's Up! Blog Hop

 Canada Ink's Up! Blog Hop!

It's time for another team blog hop! 




I have so many bits and pieces of Designer Series Paper leftover that I decided to use them up with these two layout ideas!


For this card I started with a Blackberry Bliss Card Stock base cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2". 

I added a layer of Basic Black C/S cut to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S and emboss it using the Twigs And Sprigs Embossing Folder. Attach to the card.

Cut 2 pieces of Basic Black C/S, 1@ 3/4" x 4 3/4" and 1@ 3/4" x 4 3/8". Emboss both strips using the Twigs And Sprigs Embossing Folder. Set aside.

Cut 3 strips from Designer Series Paper, 2@ 3/4" x 4 7/8" and 1@ 3/4" x 4 1/2". 

Attach the 5 strips to the embossed Basic White C/S layer using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 

*Tip- lay your strips out on the panel before glueing to check for spacing. I overlapped the pieces slightly. 

Using the Lovely And Lasting Stamp Set and matching Lasting Label Punch, stamp the outline in Blackberry Bliss Ink and the sentiment using Rich Razzleberry Ink. Punch out the label.

Add some Silver Simply Elegant Trim behind the label then attach to the card with Dimensionals. 


Add some Rhinestones to the label to finish off the card.




For the next card the measurements are the same as above but I used Basic Black C/S as my card base and Rich Razzleberry C/S as a layer.

Cut 3 strips of DSP, 1@ 3/4" x 5 1/4", 1 @ 3/4" x 5" and 1@ 3/4" x 4 3/4". Attach them to the Basic White panel using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue. 

Stamp Thank You using Rich Razzleberry Ink.

Wrap some White Crinkled Seam Binging Ribbon and Silver Simply Elegant Trim around the card and tie into a bow then pull out of end to leave just one loop. 

Add some Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to finish off the card.



I hope you get a chance to play and use up some of your leftover bits and pieces! Happy Stamping and Creating!

Canada Ink's Up! Blog Hop!

 Canada Ink's Up! Blog Hop!




It's time again for another Canada Ink's Up! Blog Hop!! This month the theme was anything we wanted. I decided that it's never too early to start my Christmas cards!

I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen Card Stock cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". 

Cut a piece of the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper to 4" x 5 1/4" and attach it to the card front.

From the Boughs Of Holly DSP, fussy cut one of the poinsettias. Set aside.

Cut a 1" x 5 1/2" strip of Basic White Card Stock and a 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" strip of Evening Evergreen C/S. Attach together using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Glue down to the card front at an angle, see photos for placement. Carefully trim off excess after glueing down. 

Stamp a sentiment onto the strip using Evening Evergreen Ink.

Using Dimensionals, attach the poinsettia flower. Attach the   Textured Element using Glue Dots. See photos for placement.

Using tiny dots of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue add some of the small gold "For Everything Sequins" to the corner of the Basic White C/S strip and to the center of the flower. 

For the inside of the card, attach a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White C/S. I used a leaf from the Leaves Of Holly Stamp Set to add some interest to the inside of the card. Stamp a leaf using Evening Evergreen Ink and another leaf stamping off once to get a lighter tone. Do the same for the envelope!



I hope you like todays project!! Happy Stamping and Creating!

Sending Smiles and Sea Glass!

 Sending Smiles And Sea Glass!

We had another wonderful visit with my parents in sunny Sointula! This was our 3rd trip this year! We are very fortunate to be able to visit them so often!


This is the view from the small ferry we take to go to and from Sointula. 

As usual we went searching for sea glass and the sea did not disappoint! I made two more card using the pretty sea glass. I just love how they turned out!

Click here to see the other sea glass card I made.











Both cards are 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". All the supplies I used to make the two cards are listed below. I did use the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder that has retired. Any embossing would be great!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
