Mark's Finest Paper a Heinrich Co Sketch with a Twist #5

Hey you...How goes it...

well today I bring to you my last project for this month

and it's a sketch with a twist challenge over at

Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co

Sketch with a Twist Challenge

The sketch is

so I came up with this as the Guest Designer for this challenge

Oh I hope you like it...I just love the sentiment by Mark's Finest Paper a Heinrich Co
it's one of the mini stamp sets they have called Adirondack Summer 2011

Isn't that such a nice set of stamps? wow...I just love it...

they stamp so well and oh I just love stamping with these stamps

so with that card I made

I used Graphic 45 card stock on an A2 Size card with AC Card stock as the background

I had some doodle twine but it was in the wrong color for this card

so I used my handy dandy alcohol inks and made it the 'right' color

then put it

the sentiment and card base are also AC Card stock.
WOW is that detailed or what...I actually remembered all the parts of the card...lol

so off I go, you all have a wonderful rest of the week
It has been so much fun being a guest designer for Sketch with a Twist
on Mark's Finest Paper a Heinrich Co.
Oh I hope they pick me for another guest design spot or even a
full time designer for them...oh wouldn't that be so fun!!!
ok

So I choose to feature these files...

I am not sure why I love Halloween so much but I love to decorate for Halloween

so with these files I came up with this...

Front of invitation

Back of invitation

I really want to put together an all night crafting party, so I started with these cute invites to my party...

I live so remote that I don't thing this will ever happen but I can dream right...lol

I used my Cameo and Silhouette America software to print and cut the parts of the invite...

It was pretty simple and fun to create, you could really do a bunch of them pretty easy.

Well that's all I have for today...

I used DCWV Celebration card stock

and a SVG from SVGCuts for the Cupcake to hold the corner

Oh my July is over !!!

Well almost that is...

this is  my last post for Chalk N Stock in July

our wonderful sponsor 

It has been so fun to work with these great digi stamps...

It has been a 

Get Well 

kind of month

the last of the bunch of get well cards I made for the month...

oh I just love how the alcohol markers makes me feel like an artist

I look back at my coloring that I have done and think

WOW that is pretty nice...

I used the chalks to mute the coloring on the outer frame

and of course used Startdust chalk to make it shine...

but that was not captured with the photo...

added some bling, and put it on a bright and fun color card

this is an A2 size card, like most of my cards are now days...heehee

I used the Silhouette America DE software to create the image to print

when doing that I added the 'Get Well' to print too...

the little sunflower on the upper right is also cut using my Cameo

then colored with alcohol markers

Easy Easy Easy

I hope you have enjoyed each of the creations I have brought to you 

for the month of July...

MyGrafico Monday ~ Pregnancy/Baby

Good day to you...

today I have a little project to share with you

I used the MyGrafico file by Woofy World

all about pregnancy and baby

so I thought it would be really

nice to make a baby shower game

well a puzzle anyway...

This was made using my Cameo and the Silhouette America Designer Edition...

I just needed something metal to attache the other image to...this way the puzzle magnets will stick to the base picture. oh I hope that makes some kind of since...

I added the image on to the virtual mat so I could use the print and cut feature. I printed 2 of each of the images. I stuck one of them to the magnet sheets that I have. 

Then cut the puzzle with the Cameo. ...

 Well anyway there you have an idea of what I did to create these 

cute puzzles/games for a fun baby shower game.

Happy Monday,

 please hop on over the the MyGrafico Challenge Blog 

and try your hand at the current challenge.

MyGrafico Monday

Good Monday

How was your weekend?

Today I bring to you a MyGrafico Design Team Project...

We were given this file to work with...

MyGrafico link to this file

LOL, this was a hard one for me,

as I have NO babies now or in the near future...

well I hope it's a few more years before my kidos have their own kidos...

so anyway, I came up with the little card to welcome a new member to the family...

I used my Cameo to print and cut the image for the front of the card, 

then colored it with my alcohol markers, Spectrum Noir

I added a charm to the edge just below the lace on the right hand side...

it's kind of hard to see that cute little duck charm so you will have to take my word that it's cute...

the background paper is from the stash, I think I have had it for 5 years now...

you see I have this little problem with designer paper and card stock...

I have to save it for a special occasion so I often wont use it, cuz

it might look better on something else I make in the future...

I am working on this problem, but I am a paper hoarder...lol...

and I think most of us crafters hoard something...well mine is designer paper/card stock...heehee

well that's my tid bit of me...

Go check out the other design team members, 

and their projects...be sure to leave some love

also head on over to the challenge blog

where you can enter your creation...

GET WELL ~ in 'Chalk' Style

Today I have a get well card to share

with you all...

I created it for the Chalk N Stock Challenge Blog

This month we are being sponsored by:

we got some cute little digi files to work with...sunflowers...oh I just love them...

so I put these cute little digi files on the virtual mat in the Cameo program...

Designer Edition of Silhouette America

I traced the images and I also made them to size on the virtual mat...

I printed the images then colored them with the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

then used my Cameo to cut the images.

also used the Amy Chomas marker holder to 'draw' the titles...

so... Print and cut can be that easy...

after I had it all colored and cut out...

I took it to my 'misting' station...

a box with some paper towels in it...lol...

sprayed the finished images with water and Stardust chalk...

heat set to dry with the heat gun...

then added some twine...there you have my secret now....

Ok so its not just my secret but I wanted you to know how I make my cards...

be sure to be careful when spraying the water and chalk mix not to get

too much water...maybe mix with 70% Alcohol (or higher) and chalk ...

that way the makers/coloring wont run as bad...just an idea...I will have to try it when I need to make my next batch of spray...

Get Well

Good Monday Morning ~ MyGrafico

Oh my is it Monday already...

I am so not ready for this week to begin...

Well this week we have this fun file to work with...

MyGrafico Wedding File

and I so did not know what do to with it...

so I decided to do a digital scrapbook page

using the silver rings to show my rings that I got

on my wedding day...

Oh, don't you just love those

pictures on your wedding day

the picture of the rings

Joining the hands together...

this has to be one of my favorite

pictures at my wedding,

it's been almost 8 years now.

What beautiful years that have gone by

what a blessing I have to be married

to my very best friend...

I am so blessed !!!

oh, OK enough of that mushy stuff...

back to real business...

I used Photoshop CS5 to create this layout...

I am not the best at digital scrap booking,

But boy, this would be a great file for those bridal shower invitations, wedding announcements and any other fancy dress day...Even a New Years party, this file would work for that too...

Be sure to hop on over the the Challenge blog at MyGrafico and see all the great creations the design team has come up with...

Happy Monday, hope your week is full of fun, smiles and crafting.

I hope I have inspired just 1 person today...

Post It Notes ~

Oh all the little things you can do with all those little post it notes...

Well, today I was hop'n around YouTube

and discovered this great tutorial on 

Post It Note Key Chain

so yeah this is not my original idea but hey that's how we get our ideas, right...

so I grabbed some scrap card stock 

cut it to 3 1/4 x 2

scored it at 1 9/16 and again at 1 11/16.

kind of hard to do on the score board but I managed to get it using my

Martha Stewart Score board, I love it...

anyway

I added some embellishments and there you have these great little key chains...

I tried to get my 16 yr old son to take one for the car key,

but he insisted that his girlfriend have it...heehee...

well for the pictures....

tada....

These are the little post it notes that measure 1 1/2 by 2 inches...

they were way fun to put together...

and fast too...

so fast I made 4 of them in just about 30 minutes...less watching YouTube videos...lol

I think I have a new addiction...watching crafting tutorials...

speaking of which...

I have one on the drawing board now...

I will keep you posted as to when I get it done, if ever...heehee

no really I am doing it on the ....

oh I can't tell you just yet...

and I wanted to enter a challenge so

Here is card # 3

Happy Birthday USA

the happy birthday is a stamped/embossed image, it's a MFPaHC stamp...yeah again...

from the same set...its such a great set to start with...

some ric rac on some ribbon which is on ribbon...

a flower cut with my cameo and some bling from the stash

I got these great letter brads from a friend, what a nice friend, huh...

and they were all white but I wanted different colors so I heat embossed the 's' and it worked great

I got the blue color I wanted...just stamped the brad with Versa Mark ink

then dipped it into the embossing powder and used the heat gun to set the embossing powder...

easy as that...a friend told me I could do that...but I had not done it yet...

I can see me doing that again...

Well that's about it for this card...

this is # 2 for today...and more to come...

OK so you cant read the ink on the ribbon that well

but it says

"Cherish you Blessings"

is another one of MFPaHC stamps from the stamp set I won a few weeks ago...

I just love these stamps...so easy to use... and they give such a good 

stamped image each time...

I used my Cameo to etch the metal with a heart/flag if you can see that...

and embossed the blue card stock with my Texture Boutique...it's kind of like

a big shot but cannot die cut...it only embosses and it small and totally convenient  for me...
