Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #631: Fright Night

Good morning!

It may be the middle of summer but I've been itching to use some of the newly released Halloween products so I decided to use them for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Anything but a Card Challenge.  I love to gift treats for Halloween so I thought using the Suitcase Treat Boxes would be perfect.  I also love the new Spooky Suite Speciality Designer Series Paper since it has lots of fun pieces including die cuts and tag elements that are perfect for packaging.  

I cut one piece of the DSP and added it as the base on all 4 sides of the box.  Then I took the Fright Night stamp set and stamped the greetings on the green tag piece.  I added a couple of the candy corn die cuts using dimensionals for a little added dimension.

I used the Fright Night Dies to cut out the little black spider as well as the "Boo" using Silver Foil Paper.  The Shimmer Star Foam Stickers make a fun additional element for a pop of color and I finished the box off with tying some ribbon around the suitcase handle (Petunia Pop 1/4" Iridescent Ribbon and Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Check Ribbon that I colored with my Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Marker).

Love how this came together and can't wait to give it away once we get closer to Halloween.  Make sure to check out the other projects the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #624: Textured Notes

Good morning,

Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge which is CASE the catalog, with twist.  When I was looking through the catalog the card on Page 58 really reminded me of a fancy picture frame with an oil painting so that's what I decided to go with.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the base and then added a piece of DSP from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (love all the dimension in this paper).  Next I took a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and cut the "mat" using the Textured Notes Dies and then cut down a piece of DSP from the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper pack (now I'll admit there was a lot of paper waste to get the image how I wanted it but it was worth it!).  I then used dimensionals to attach this piece to the cardfront.

The greeting is from the Textured Notes stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Highland Heather ink before being punched out with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch and trimming off the top.  I again used dimensionals to add the greeting.  The final touch was to add some Adhesive Backed Textured Dots.

I love how this card turned out, the textures really let the image be the star!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Also, the Suite sale started yesterday and the stamp set, dies, and DSP used on this project are all included in the sale so if you've had your eye on these fabulous products now's the time to stock up!

Adoring Hearts Valentine

Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day,

I promise I'm wrapping up my valentine's projects but had to share the card I made for hubby, which shocker, uses a different stamp set!

This card starts with a cardbase of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock for the cardfront that's embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and then added a strip of the Marbled Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper.  Before attaching I did wrap a piece of Gold Twisted Thread and tied a bow.

I used a piece of Gold Foil and the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut the large circle.  To this I added a circle cut from Basic White cardstock using the Stitches Shapes dies.  On this piece I stamped the floral heart from the Adoring Hearts stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink.

I cut a smaller heart suing the Hearts of Elegance dies and the Marbled Elegance DSP as well as the stitched heart using Gold Foil and popped it up with dimensionals.  The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock.  I fussy cut the greeting and popped it up with dimensionals.

I love everything about this card and know hubby will enjoy it.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #608: Hearts of Elegance

Good morning,

It's the week leading up to Valentine's of course I'm still crafting and sharing.  Today I'm sharing the cute gifts I made for my son's roommates for this weeks Paper Craft Crew weekly challenge.  One of the items that was released when the Hearts of Elegance bundle and all the associated awesomeness was the Gift Bag Combo Pack which had 2 sizes of bags (8 each) which were perfect for gifting.  I used the smaller bags on this project (he does have 6 roommates and these bags held quite a bit of chocolate which of course is always a hit!).

In crafting these treats I added a piece of the Marbled Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper and matted it with Basic Black cardstock.  For one of the designs I wrapped a piece of Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Checked Ribbon and the other design used a bow tied with Gold 1 1/2" Open Weave Trim.  Other than the ribbon everything else on both designs is the same.

Finishing off the bag the greeting is from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set and was stamped on Basic White cardstock and cut out with one of the heart dies from the Hearts of Elegance dies.  I used the same dies to cut the black heart which is stitched around the edge and attached with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add a couple Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins.

I love how these turned out and hope the boys enjoy them as well, being away from home it's always nice to get a little surprise in the mail.  Make sure to check out the other projects the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Lots of Hearts Valentine's

Good morning,

It's a snowy day here and if you are lucky enough to have the day off (I'm working but that's good) it's perfect for working on those Valentine's cards and gifts ahead of Friday.  Today I wanted to share a card we made in last month's card class.

This card stars with Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then a Basic White cardstock cardfront that's embossed with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder.  Next I added a strip of the Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper along the left side and wrapped a piece of Gold 1 1/2" Open Weave Trim.

The large black heart was cut using Basic Black cardstock and the Hearts of Elegance dies.  The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock before cutting it out with the Greetings of the Season Dies (these are on the Last Chance List so they are on sale so make sure you get then before they sell out).  I sponged around the edge of the greeting piece with Basic Black ink before attaching to the cardfront with dimensionals.

Final touches were to tie some more of the Gold 1 1/2" Open Weave Trim through the hole on the greeting and then added a few Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins.

I just keep saying, with this stamp set, dies, and DSP you really can't go wrong, you're going to make beautifully fabulous projects that all coordinate to perfection!
