The Great Gatsby-Art Deco G45 Card

5/23/2016

1 Comment

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
and supplies listed below...

Thinking of You Card

10/16/2015

1 Comment

Thinking of you...always...is a sentiment I like to use a lot. I try to make a bunch of these all occasion cards throughout the year, because something always comes up and I need a card. I made this card with just a few embellishments and scraps. Do you save scraps? How do you store your scraps? What do you do with yours? I've seen some fancy storage and organization ideas on Pinterest, but I just have a bin full of pattern paper scraps in no particular order, but it's in one place. So, every couple months I grab it and make cards from the scraps. Use what you've got, right?

Happy Monday! I hope everyone in the USA that participates in Daylight Savings set your clocks ahead one hour yesterday. I don't know about you, but I feel like I have been awake for two days. I'm a night owl anyways and I was watching "Seven Years in Tibet" until 2:30am last night. How have I not seen this movie before? It was very enlightening. Anyways, I should have been dead tired or asleep, but I wasn't. I was wide awake. I had to make myself go to bed or I would have regretted it this morning. Anybody else feel like that? I'm all for more sunshine in the afternoon, but I forgot it's still dark out when I take my kids to school in the morning. So, I'm not liking that part.

Maybe I've been cooped up too long, because of all the snow we've had. I don't know. I really can't explain it. But all this sunshine has me alert and rejuvenated. And being a mom of four, I'm not usually this alert in the morning, so this is a new experience. I'm just full of ideas this morning and now I just have to implement them.

My only daughter and my oldest child is turning 25 years old this month. I know, a quarter of a century...don't remind me. Where does the time go? So, I'm thinking of a unique card to make her, maybe with my Cricut machine. I saw some great ideas on Pinterest where they welded the numbers together. I think I might try that and I'll share it with you soon.

Did you know you can download "Cricut Craft Room" software for older models for free? I love it. Or the "Cricut Design Space" for newer models and iPads. You can use the free cuts or fonts, it works with the cartridges you already own, lets you weld numbers and alphabets, and lets you purchase cuts too. But most of all I like the search feature. It lets me search for a cut or font and tells me what cartridge(s) it's on or lets me purchase it. It's like an instant lookup. I'm not an expert on Cricut at all and pretty much self taught. So feel free to comment and leave me ideas. I'd love to hear them. To see more craft ideas, visit me on Pinterest.
Have a crafty week! ~Kim

Back to School

It's already back to school time at our house. I sent my oldest son off to 10th grade and my twin sons off to 6th grade and their first time in middle school. Big stuff. Having three boys there is never a dull moment around here. So when school time comes around there is an eery silence that takes over my house during the day and takes a week to get used too. Not to mention all the craft ideas running through my head, now that I can hear myself think again. Should I scrapbook our summer vacation? Or should I finish some other albums waiting for journaling? I always save it for last. I really should learn to do it as I create my pages. Or should I just make cards for upcoming fall birthdays? And then I end up on Pinterest for more ideas. So much silence, so much time, so many ideas, but I'm definitely avoiding housework. How about you? What do you do after the kids go back to school?

Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking has downloads for free on their website located here under "Downloads." This website and tools are my new best friend! When you can't find the right stamp, or the stamp you want to use is discontinued, or you need a fast sentiment, just look it up, and print it. Print on cardstock, printed paper, fabric, duct tape, etc...The possibilities are endless. I was reminded recently that when you can't find just the right sentiment...revert back to your pc and just create it yourself and print. The font's are right there. Voila! The perfect sentiment any time of year and available at your fingertips every time. Enjoy all the possibilities!

St. Patrick's Day Card

3/18/2014

0 Comments

I made a quick St. Patrick's Day card for my twin niece and nephew's to commemorate their first green holiday! Very simple card with shamrock washi tape, American Crafts ribbon, a heart punch, gems, and a pipe cleaner. Voila!

I punched out six heart punches: three from solid green cardstock and three from a printed green paper. I chose a paper that had an embossed raised sparkle to it, so I wouldn't need to add any stickles glitter glue.

Adhere the solid green heart punches in a shamrock shape. Fold the printed heart punches in half, then apply a thin line of adhesive and attach directly on top of the solid green heart punches. Pinch for a 3D effect. Roll up a pipe cleaner and attach with glue dots. Add a couple gems and you have a quick and simple card.

I woke up to a very frosty covered world. Everything covered in a layer of beautiful white frost and snow. Doesn't mother nature know it's March 1st? I guess not. So, I turned on satellite radio on my tv to my favorite 80's channel. And what better way to spend a cold frosty snowy day inside than to make cards all day rockin' to the 80's. Life is good! Enjoy your weekend...

Don't hate me...this is my view. I get inspired every time I look at the mountains. I just love the trees all fluffy with snow, the sun is shining, and not a cloud in the sky. Gorgeous! I just want to stay in my pj's, craft, and make hot chocolate. I'm working on a NFL Bronco birthday card today for one of the grandma's turning 70yrs young this weekend. It's turning out pretty good. I'll post it when I'm done...later today. There is another snow storm coming in tonight, so where ever you are....stay safe and warm!
