Manhattan Flower

This simple card uses cardstock, the Manhattan Flower embossing folder (for the Big Shot) and Whisper White Craft ink. The result is GORGEOUS yet simple cards. I have left mine blank for now and stamp on the sentiment when needed (birthday, thank you, thinking of you, etc)

Pink one

yellow, gorgeous!

A New Mini - Video

A mini album I created. As always, I am completely in love with it. It holds 18 pictures and folds open "frontwards and backwards"

The simple front

The back

I actually would like to go back prior to 2009 and make albums of our pictures from then - more inspiration to come!

Mini Album

You know me and my obsession with mini-albums, right?! It all started with the double slider album, and then I created all kinds of little ones...then a flip version...and now I've created another. J'adore! They look so cute on the bookshelf and are nice and easy to pull out and show people.

The front

Pull on ribbon tabs and bring up a double sided (removable) insert with more pics!

Not showing all the sides of the inserts, but you get the picture:-)

The back

Everytime I make one of these I say, CUTEST EVER! And then I love the next one I make even more! I have created another mini album - Can't wait to show you how it works! It will be all decorated soon!

Flip Album

A little mini scrapbook, made in Feb 2012.

When you flip up these pictures, there is another set of pics under there, and they get flipped down, revealing...

The inside of the album, with everything flipped out

The back

The quotes I used in the album are from this post.

Christmas Card Inspiration

...for next year!

Peace on Earth

In an 8x10 frame. A little Christmas art that is making me really happy to look at! I love it! I used a tree cut out from Paper Crafters Library's special Christmas projects - Not on their regular site, I don't think, but a special email sent out to people who requested it, it's a free thing they do every year with about 12 weeks worth of Christmas fun!

Need: Tree (I used Old Olive)
Scrap papers in just about any colours you want!
1" punch
3/4" punch
1/2" punch
buttons and embellishments
glue dots
stampin' dimensionals

To show some dimension. Basically, you punch out circles and start layering them up! No rhyme or reason, just keep doing it until you like the look!

For the sentiment, I considered stamping something, but I had some chipboard Christmas phrases (peace, joy, love, believe), so I chose one and heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler powder.

I LOVE IT! So fun, cute, and happy!

Easy Card!

How to make this card, so that all the images line up perfectly on the layers...

Use a normal sized card (5.5x4.25). Cut white card stock to 4.75x3.5 and 4x2.75

Line up the card stock neatly, use a small amount of adhesive if desired

Stamp over all three layers

More stamping!

Cut coloured cardstock to 4.25x3 and 5x3.75, remove the layers and adhere the coloured paper, and then place everything back together.

Add sentiment and embellish as desired. A beautiful card, and really easy to make!
