Hi everybody! I'm up on the Blog today sharing some happy news with you all. Starting in June I have been selected to join the incredibly talented Epiphany Crafts Design Team. I am so honored and so excited to get crafting with these amazing products. Be sure to check out this manufacturer of innovative crafting tools, epoxy accessories, and charms that let you create your own unique, one of a kind, custom embellishments for cards, scrapbooks, jewelry, and so much more. The possibilities are endless. Here is my first project using my kids back to school pictures as my inspiration and all this wonderful pattern paper. I made all my embellishments from the amazing Epiphany Craft Tools by using the round punch and clear epoxy bubble stickers over cute school paper. And used the ticket punch as little tags to document each grade level of my kids pictures to make it extra special. I hope I've inspired you to make your own unique embellishments. Stay tuned for some awesome projects! ~Kim
Supplies used: Epiphany Craft Tools: round 25 punch and epoxy bubbles, ticket punch; DCWV back to school paper; Bazzill dot red cardstock; BoBunny Double dot pattern paper (tags); Creative impressions ruler ribbon; EK Success notebook punch; Authentique number stickers. What's your favorite Era? I have a few decades I love and the roaring 1920's is one of them. The old gangster movies, glamorous fashions, and the bold patterns of Art Deco. And my oldest son was just reading The Great Gatsby for school and inspired me to make this card. For this challenge I chose this stunning couple from a Graphic 45 framed pattern paper and built my card around them. He looks dashing in his tux from the 1920's, but her fashion is kind of 1850's high society. Maybe they're time traveling, but either way, I think it works. Click "Read More" for tutorial

I hope it's warming up where you are. We had 4" of snow just two days ago and today it's mostly melted, warm, and sunny. But it will snow again...that's just what it does in Colorado. It's also the day after my daughter's birthday, so I can share with you the card I made her. I wanted it bright and happy for Spring and this Amy Tangerine collection really delivered. I love this modern look with a retro a twist with the mod shapes and cassette tapes. First adhere the pink and yellow pattern papers to a card base. Punch out nine label shapes from four sheets of pattern paper, run through a sticker maker, and adhere to card. I layered two ribbons on top of this cool pink burlap ribbon. Add flower embellishments, enamel dots, music note stickers, and the "sweet life" sticker in the middle. And another card with NO stamping. ~Kim Challenges:

I'm up on the CardMaker Blog today sharing tips on how to make nice, easy, cards, in a flash. I created a card template (below) and I'm happy to share with you all. I've done all the math and measuring for you and this template makes it so fast and easy to cut all your pieces. All you have to do is cut and paste. These two cards were created from examples 1 and 2. Go check out all six cards I made in less than 10 minutes and all the materials I used up on the CardMaker Blog. Once you master these six examples you can now make 24+ cards from one 6x6 paper pad in less than an hour. Really! And I'm happy to say this is another project I created with NO stamping! So, get out your pretty paper pads you've been hoarding and get started making cards. ~Kim
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. See tutorial and supplies listed below... 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. Hi everybody! I'm honored to share my first assignment posted earlier this week up on the CardMaker Blog. I was tasked with creating something with the theme "celebrate & decorate."
