True Love Never Grows Old 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovelies.

Oh boy I am back on the roll making 8x8 layouts again...it's not that hard if you are fortunate enough to work with the prettiest dies, papers and embellishments there are in this market. For this layout I used the pretty "Enchanted Forest"collection by Graphic 45.

It has such beautiful colors and prints on it that you are totally swooned with it the moment you get them in you hands. I really went overboard using so many dies lol, but it was worth it. At least that's what I think.

True Love Never Grows Old

For this layout I used a lot of layers and I have to say I almost used half of my 8x8 paper pad! I just couldn't stop adding more and more {well I know that's a habit of mine}. The background paper is called brilliant gem and that is my favorite sheet for sure....I sprayed some white spray on it and then added paste using my favorite stencil. Let's have a closer look:

If you know me a little you must know I love metal pieces on my work especially on my layouts...so here I used a bunch of them like the buckle which is amazing to use. It adds so much to you work.

I distressed all my edges of the paper and moistened & wrinkled my flowers like on my last layout.

A Colorful Happy Birthday to You

Bonnie Garby 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi friends. It's Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here today filling in for Amy. We've had some really dreary weather in my area for a few weeks and I needed some color in my life so I went bold today.

I started out with scraps of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple card stock about 1-1/2" x 5". I applied Stick It adhesive to the backs of all the pieces and then die cut each with the Border #3 die. I then adhered all my pieces on to a panel of white card stock and then mounted that on an A2 sized top fold black card base.

Stick It adhesive is a wonderful adhesive for intricate die cuts. You simply apply it to the back of your cardstock, die cut, peel off the backing and adhere it to your project. Perfect for effortless, all-over adhesion. The best part is that it doesn't 'grab' immediately, so there is a little time to make sure your die cut is exactly where you want it. I use it on all my projects.

For the sentiment, I used the Rectangular Pierce & Cut Tool Lge Silver Pierce die. If you don't have the size you need, you can often create one by partially cutting, flipping the die and line up the holes and cut the other half. This really adds to the value of these sets!

I then added some dimensional butterflies using the Small Exotic Butterlies #1 set and a pretty bi-color double loop bow made with gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Bon Appetit Recipe Book by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hi there, this is Eva here today. With Thanksgiving just around the corner I thought I would share with you a recipe book created with one of our newest dies, the Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings. Can you imagine creating a recipe book with all your favorite recipes and give it as a gift to someone? I think they would love it!

To create this recipe book I started out using the spine of the book and die cut it using the Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings out of corrugated craft card stock. Then I die cut my cover pages out of black card stock and my insert pages out of cream color card stock. I die cut a smaller size of the Horizon Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames out of cream color card stock and stamped my pretty background image on it. I die cut the Bon Appetite out of a deep red card stock and placed it on the stamped panel, which I backed up with a light turquoise card stock to make it pop. I added a little turquoise pearl on top.

I also die cut one of the borders from the Royal Scandinavian Border Set out black card stock and added it to my spine as a decorative touch and finally tied it all together with a red seam binding ribbon.

Here is the list of items to create this fun recipe book:

BE103 - Memory Book A2 Scallops and Rings

B658 - Bon Appetit

DL270 - Horizon Rectangle Boutique Stacker Frames

B524 - Royal Scandinavian Border Set

Well, hope this inspires you a little to create some recipe books to give away as a gift! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your creations in this week's challenge.

Hugs,

Eva

Christmas Poinsettia Tag

shulsart 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Sandy here with you today filling in for Karen. I have made a quick Christmas Tag for my project today. I began with a #8 tag, adding some wonderful DP from My Mind's Eye which I sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. I added my Double Scalloped Border along the top and the words For You below.

To create the flower, I die cut my Rose Leaf Strip 3 times from DP adding Vintage Photo Distress ink. I used a small circle as a base, then glued the leaves on staggering them as I went. I pinched the petals to give it some dimension. I added Bundled Sage to the last petals and glued them on the bottom for leaves.

Be sure to join us this week for the Anything Goes challenge for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree.

Dream the Impossible card by Eva Dobilas

Eva 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi there, hope you had a great weekend! This is Eva here with an inspirational card. This week's challenge is Anything Goes, so I bet you all are going to upload some pretty cards! For me just love all the pretty dies Cheery Lynn does, so I used quite a bit on my card.

To start our my card I created a 5.5" square card base using a light pink card stock. Than I found a patterned paper I wanted to use and cut it down to the size I wanted and die cut the Royal Scandinavian Border Set out of black card stock and also die cut into the patterned paper and added gold glitter card stock under it to show through and laid it on my card front.

Than I die cut a larger Pierced Stacker #3 using cream card stock, and a Fleur De Lis Doily using light blue card stock. Once again I die cut a smaller Pierced Stacker #3 using a light pink card stock and a Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 using cream card stock and stamped my sentiment on it and layered all on top of each other to create my focal point.

Than I die cut a Gardenia Strip using watercolor card stock and painted it in with water colors. I die cut Rose Leaf Strip out of green card stock and Olive Branches using gold glitter card stock and finally one of the butterflies from the Small Exotic Butterflies #1 using patterned paper and also the gold glitter card stock for the bottom layer and added all that to my card.
