Real Craft Spaces & Organization

2/26/2016

1 Comment

Hi everybody! I'm up on the CardMaker Blog again sharing my craft spaces with you. I'll be honest, I was a little panicked when I got this assignment, as it's very personal to invite you into my space. So, be kind and don't judge me. I am working on reducing the amount of stuff I have. Really! My sister made me join a local sale to sell some stuff and maybe some stuff could be future giveaway prizes too! Plus, I can see the floor and easily walk around my space, so I am NOT a hoarder. (lol)

At the beginning of every year we tell ourselves to get more organized. Take a peak into my real space, see where I create, and how I organize some of my supplies. I'll show you how I organize my stamps and punches and so much more. Read more about my craft room, see more pictures around my space, and get a complete supply list of where I buy my organizers. Click "here" to go to the CardMaker Blog. I hope I've inspired you to get organized. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Kim

Easter Bunny Card

2/23/2016

7 Comments

Easter is Sunday, March 27, 2016 this year! So, that does not leave a lot of time to make cards. Do you make Easter cards? If so, post them on Facebook and show me what you've made. I'd love to see them.

I was inspired to create these fun flip card by the shapes and colors from "The House That Stamps Built" challenge. I love the pink, blue, and purple colors. And I think the bunny ears look like hearts. The sentiment I downloaded a printable and printed it from my computer in color on white cardstock and punched it out. ~Kim

More Quick Valentines Cards

2/13/2016

6 Comments

You still have time to make quick and easy Valentines cards for your loved ones. I made these for my four kids with one paper kit that included coordinating paper and stickers, in addition to a heart stamp set.

The first card is for my daughter and I wanted it pink, glittery, and very girly with lots of sparkly bling. Her card is layered paper, stickers, glitter ribbon, adhesive heart gems, and has No stamping.

And for my three son's I wanted their cards masculine, simple, red, and full of hearts. These are quick and easy cards for not only Valentines day, but also birthdays, anniversaries, and any day you want to show your loved ones you care. Happy Valentines Day! ~Kim

The last few years I've only shopped and last year my sister and I finally took a class and participated in some amazing make and takes and the whole experience was fantastic.Great ideas, great instructors, and great products given to each participant too. Totally worth it.

Quick Valentines Day Cards

2/5/2016

5 Comments

Do you make cards for Valentines Day? Sometimes I do, time permitting, and this year I had time to play with these gorgeous papers, stamps, and stickers. So, whether you celebrate Valentines Day or not here are a few ideas for some quick cards to make and give your loved ones on the 14th or anytime of year.

It doesn't have to take a lot of supplies to make cards. I recommend using a kit or a collection because your paper, stickers, and sentiments all coordinate. I have four kids, so I wanted to make each of them a card. I started with kraft cardstock as my card base on all of them, layered pattern paper and added these wonderful stickers or stamped images.

I am challenged this week to make anything BUT a card. What??? I'm a card maker and a scrapbooker. What else can I make? Well...it turns out I CAN make other things. lol. I made this gorgeous flamingo necklace for my older sister for her birthday, as she LOVES flamingos. And my lil sister and I learned how to make these fast, easy, quality, and gorgeous jewelry at the Denver Scrapbook Expo last year from Craft Fantastic. We bought the kit and made several necklaces and matching earrings, as Christmas gifts, for at least 8-10 people for under $30 total. And I've bought more kits since. It was amazing and we can't say enough about these products or make enough for gifts or ourselves!

Check out their products, tutorials, and videos here at Craft Fantastic and get started on your own creations. The ideas are endless. Warning...it's VERY addicting, but so fun! ~Kim

Challenges:
4 CC #283 {ANYTHING BUT A CARD}

Supplies: Craft Fantastic necklace kit; Authentique paper, Jolee flamingo sticker; circle punch; and Ranger diamond stickles glitter glue.

Love is in the air...but first I needed to make a February Birthday card for somebody special. And having three sons and one daughter, I rarely get
to make anything girly. So, when I do, I go all out. I wanted it pink and pretty. And I LOVE to mix and match pattern papers.
