Hey all! I'm here to share with you that I am kicking off a new series on my #youtube channel called 3 CARDS 1 6x6 PAPER PAD. I will feature a different 6x6 paper pad, and make three different cards with that same pad. I wanted to do this series to use my pattern papers more, but also give ideas on how to use up those dreaded scraps we all have!
I won't be doing this as a back to back series, but more rather a once or twice a month thing on my channel.
For this set of cards I feature Simple Stories Winter Wonderland. I love these papers and the color combination. I also love the fact that they incorporate smaller patterns to create tags, and elements you could use on your cards as a sentiment and focal panel without having to use stamps if you didn't want to.
I show you how to do this very thing on Card #1 in this video!
For all the details on how I put these cards together, I invite you to watch the video! All the supplies are listed below :)
Hello my fellow crafters!! Welcome to card #1 in my Holiday Card Series for 2014!! This is my first series I've done, and first Holiday Card Series, so I hope you enjoy the cards I make and present to you, and I also hope to inspire you on what to make for your holiday cards this year!!
For the first ornament, I stamped it out in Fern Ink from Simon Says Stamp. I love this green color, such a pretty Kelly Green. I then die cut that out with the matching die as well as the ornament topper. I took my Galaxy Gold Memento Ink Dew Drop and just swiped the pad across a piece of scrap white card stock, and let dry, and used the topper die to cut out. I then worked on the other ornament. I used a piece of silver shimmer paper from the Shimmer Stack from DCWV, and inked up my ornament in VersaMark Ink, and then applied some SU! Gold Embossing Powder, and heat to set, and also die cut it out using the matching die. I then used a white panel that I had previously die cut from a another project using the stitched frame from Femme Frames from ME. I didn't use it before because it has gotten a smudge on it, so I set it aside. I didn't want to scrap it and waste it, so that is when I decided to use some pattern paper from the Oh, Deer 6x6 pad from Fancy Pants. I love this candy striped pattern, so I die cut it using the same stitched frame, and I adhered that pattern paper using my PLUS adhesive. I needed some "strings" for my ornaments so I decided to use the dotted stamp from Deck the Halls from Lawn Fawn and stamped those using my favorite black ink - VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I stamped my sentiment from the same SOL set also in the same black ink. I added my ornaments to my card panel, and then added some foam squares to the panel to pop it up off of my white card base. Simple, and easy to replicate! I think that's the name of the game when making Holiday Cards!!
The video is below if you'd like how this one came together!! Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back with Card #2 soon!!
Hi everyone! Welcome to the first challenge for October 2014 for Lawnscaping! We are focusing on using pattern papers and there lots of great ones out right now! Of course, I used the newest ones from Lawn Fawn and you can pick these papers up along with so many other awesome finds from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp! They are wonderful to give the winner a $25 gift certificate to their store!
Here is my card that I made and I didn't do any stamping! I used pattern papers from LF's Snow Day 6x6 paper pad. To create the layers, I used the Large Stitched Rectangles Stackables dies - I love these!! I am obsessed frame dies right now!
For my sentiment - I used this adorable "Merry" wood veneer - and these are exclusive to Simon Says Stamp. They are in Kristina Werner's handwriting! LOVE! To add a bit of something extra ( not that it really needs it) and added some of Wink of Stella glitter pen :)
I hope this has inspired you to get out your pattern papers! I know for me - I need to use them more often instead of hanging on to them! We buy these things to use!! I have to keep reminding myself of that sometimes - LOL! Thank you all for stopping by today!! Hope you have a great week!!
Hellllloooo :) I wanted to pop in quickly to share with you my latest card tutorial. No stamping was involved! I need to use up some pattern papers that I have laying around with scraps that I have accumulated as well as some out of the SSS card kits that I get each month ( most of the time), so I've used some of the pattern papers from the Aug. kit from SSS, as well as a word die from Technique Tues. If you are interested, I have the supplies that I used for this card linked below!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! See you all tomorrow! A new Lawnscaping Challenge starts tomorrow :)
