Best Friends

     This card was sooo much fun to make.  It feels like forever since I've really sat down and created something just for the fun of it.  I had made a card of this style for the Fred, She Said blog hop and had several requests for the instructions (you can scroll down a couple of posts to find the tutorial) so I needed to make another one for some instructional pics.  No use letting the parts and pieces go to waste so this is what came out of them.
     Sadly this is not the only Lili of the Valley stamp I have that hadn't been inked yet.  I hope to put the rest of them to use very soon.  This one is called "Best Friends" and it was a dream to color, especially since it got stamped on a piece of the brand new pack of Copic Express-it blending card I just got.  I've been using Gina K and there is a huge difference.  The Copic paper was incredible to blend on.  I was worried at first because everything seemed so dark, but as it dried or soaked into the paper it looked fine.
     For my papers I used a combination of DCWV and the gorgeous GCD Studios Ella Blue stack.  Love that brown and blue combination.  The rose on the front of the envelope is my first try at a new style of rose made using the Retro Flower punches.  I was pleased at how it turned out for a first try and I'm sure they'll get better with practice.  I colored some white cardstock with a couple of the blue Copics I used on the image so the rose and little flowers would match the image and papers.  I also used my Copics on the pearls.

     I was very happy with the image except for the hair.  I haven't got the hair techniques down yet, but I had lots of fun anyway.
     I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Lili of the Valley--spring
ABC Challenge--roses (there's the one I made and the DP paper has blue roses on it)
Tuesday Throwdown--florals
House of Gilli--ribbon and pearls
Sugar Creek Hollow--stitching

This is my third post for today so if you missed anything please scroll down.
Happy Thursday!

Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #53

     This is my last card for the Digi Doodle Shop's Best Design Team.  Judy and my teammates have been an absolute dream to work for and with and I will miss being a part of this fantastic challenge blog.  However, change is inevitable and I have some things coming up in the future that will require quite a bit of time so I needed to free myself from some of my online obligations.
     For this card I have used one of the recent new additions to the Digi Doodle Store "Special Delivery".  You'll see that several of my teammates also picked this stamp to use for their cards this week.  I just think he's fabulous.  He definitely has attitude!  Wonder if he's related to Gordon Ramsay?
     I used Copic markers to color him and I never could get his apron to look like I wanted it too.  I wanted it to be dark but not solid black and I just couldn't get it right.  Practice, practice, practice.
     The challenge theme this week is Birthdays so we hope you'll link up your birthday creations for a chance at a surprise prize.  Since it's Digi Doodle Shop's 1 year anniversary, Judy is giving the top three winners EACH a prize!  WOOHOO!
Happy Thursday!

Corner Bookmark Tutorial for Papercraft Star

     I've been seeing a lot of really cute corner bookmarks out there so I though I would do a little tutorial on how to make them.  This one follows the directions given by the uber-talented Beate Johns for Splitcoast Stampers.
     Here are most of the supplies that I used.  You'll need cardstock and whatever embellishments you would like to use.  I printed out this cute little Pink Cat Studio "Hootie Pie" image and colored him with Copics.  He's cut out with a Nestabilities die.  I also decided to use a Martha Stewart punch and some ribbon.  You can use the adhesive of your choice.

     To begin you need one 4" x 4" square of cardstock and one 2 3/4' x 2 3/4" square of a coordinating paper.  Cut the smaller square in half diagonally.  Mark the larger square at the 2" mark on three sides and score as shown in the pic.

     This photo shows the BACK side of the bookmark with the scored sections folded in.

     For my bookmark I added half of the DP paper square and some other DP that I used the MS punch on.  These pieces were lightly glued and then stitched on with my sewing machine.  NOTE:  Do any stitching before you finish the backside of the bookmark so you can hide the stitching.

     Here's the backside of the bookmark with all my threads taped down.  Just pull the back thread slightly and the front one will slip back through the hole enough for you to grab it and pull it to the back.  Tape it and you don't have to worry about any unraveling.  You'll also see the other half of the first small square of DP.  The back can be finished in many ways but I just made mine plain and simple so I cut another square just slightly smaller that the original base square (3 7/8" x 3 7/8"), marked and scored it the same way, trimmed the excess corners off and glued it on the back to cover my stitching and the ends of the ribbon I ran around the front of the bookmark.

     You can see everything nicely covered here and the Score Tape waiting for the top triangle to be added.

     I wanted to give Hootie a tiny bit of sparkle so I added a little of the gold embossing powder I recently purchased at Michael's to the edge of his mat.

     Here's the finished bookmark with Hootie, his sparkly mat, and some bright lime green ribbon added.

     I picked hootie for my bookmark cause I'm an avid reader, sometimes staying up way into the night and I imagine my eyes might look a little like Hootie's. LOL

     This is a really easy project and makes a very sturdy little bookmark so I hope you'll give it a try.

     Blessings!

Tag Card Tutorial

     There were so many requests for the instructions for my FSS Blog Hop card I figured I'd better get busy on this tutorial.  It's really not a difficult card to make and can be constructed in so many different ways.  There was no tutorial for the cards I saw (I'll give you links to those at the end of the post) so I had to try to figure everything out myself.  I can't guarantee this is how the inventor did it, but it works for me.
     Let's start with the base first.  You'll need to cut a cardstock base for your card at 6" x whatever.  LOL  Lot of help that is huh.  Well this is the part that I thought needed tweaking on my card.  I cut my cardstock at 9 1/4" which was actually too long compared to the example I was trying to go by.  This measurement is totally up to you.  All this effects is how much of a lip sticks up from the back of your card.  So you definitely need to have 7" to make a complete pocket, but the amount extra left for your punched edge/edges is up to you and differs depending upon the punch.
     In the picture you'll see a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock cut at 6" x 11" and scored at 3 1/2".

     You'll need to check the amount of paper that gets cut off when you punch the edge before you punch your card.  This will help you figure out how much you need to leave for the back lip depending on how high you want it to extend.  Here's an easy way to figure this out.

     Go ahead and fold on your scoreline.  Take a scrap piece of paper and use the punch you've chosen on it.  Line up the edge of the punched piece on the top edge of the pocket you've folded up from the scoreline.  Mark along the edge of the punched piece and you can use these marks to cut your cardstock and have it the perfect height for your punched edge.  NOTE:  This will have the bottom of your punched edge even with the front of the card.  If you want a larger lip on the back like my FSS card, you'll need to add extra length .
     Here's what it will look like when cut like above.

    After you have the base cut to your liking, you need to cut out the scalloped piece for the front of the card.  I used the same cardstock as the base card.  For the scallop I used the largest Classic Scalloped Circle Nestie (S4-124) and the second largest Standard Circles Large (S4-114).  Use some tape to hold the two in place together and run them through your die cut machine.  Pop out the center circle and cut the scallop below the fifth scallop on each side.  The large piece gets glued onto the front panel of your card over the DP. 

     Center the scalloped piece on the front panel and draw a light pencil line around the inside circle of the scallop piece.  Cut this piece out slightly larger than the drawn circle.

     The front panel of DP will be cut at 5 3/4" x 3 1/4".  You might want to use a little repositionable tape or a Two Way Glue pen to temporarily affix this panel to the front of the card.  Once you do this flip the base over and trace around the inside of the circle cut out.  This will also need to be cut slightly larger than drawn.  You want all the edges to be hidden underneath the scalloped piece.

     Attach your DP panels to the front.  Now is the time to do any machine stitching if you'd like to add that.  You can also cut your panel of DP for the inside of the card.  I cut mine at 5 3/4" x 3 3/4".  Attach this.
     Attach the scallop piece to the front of the card and you should have this.

     Apply 1/8"  score tape to the inside right and left sides of the front panel.  If you're using wider adhesive you will have to adjust the width of the slide in tag part of the card.  Remove the protective tape and press the front and back sections together.  You can add any other embellishments you like to the front of the card and you can also stamp or write something in the cut out opening that will be revealed when the insert is withdrawn.
     Now we'll make the tag insert.  If you want the tag to have a punched top edge I would do the punching first and then cut the tag to measure 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" .  You can add mats to this piece however you'd like including more punchwork.  Don't forget to do any machine stitching before you apply the mat panels to the base tag.
     For the image I punched another of the largest Scalloped Nesties, leaving it whole.  I then cut a whole circle using the largest Standard Circle Nestie and used the inside of that Nestie to draw a light circle around my image.  I cut the image out by hand.  You can do this any way you like.  All these layers were glued together.  Next I put the tag panel inside the pocket and then lined the image/mat stack up to fit in the cut out hole.  I just held it in place and slipped a little glue under the edge to get it started.  I use the Scotch Quick Dry so it was secure pretty quickly and I could pull the whole tag out and add glue under the rest of the scallop to secure the image completely.  The position of the image stack will differ depending on the height you want it to stick up over the top of the back edge.
     Here are links to three cards made similar to this by the exceedingly talented Marianne.  This lady has some major talent and inspires me so much.  I just wish she would do tutorials for all her ideas. {sigh}
Angel and bunny
Baby Carriage
Dandelion Girl
     I hope this was easy to understand.  If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.  I'll have another card made like this posting tomorrow.
Blessings!

Papercraft Star Challenge #39

     It's a recipe challenge this week at Papercraft Star.  For my card I've used a Digi Doodle Shop image called "You've Got Mail".  I've colored the image with my Copics and added a little Walnut Stain Distress ink around the edge and some subtle yellow chalk around the image.  The recipe called for a flourish and rhinestones, both of which I added in black to match the mats.
     You have until 9:00 p.m. EST Sunday to get your entry linked up for this weeks challenge and a shot at this months Grand Prize from Michelles Scrapbooking & More.
     Happy Wednesday!

The Kraft Journal Challenge #12

     Our challenge this week at The Kraft Journal is "Flowers'" and this post is actually kind of a tease because this mini album is a work in progress.  My hubby and I are planning a trip to Yellowstone this summer for our anniversary and this album will hold the pics.  The cover is complete unless I decide to add a few more trinkets to the Tim Holtz swivel clasp hanging from the binding.  I probably would not have started the album yet, but I hang out some over at Your Paper Pantry and there is a contest going on for projects made with Tim Coffey papers.  This album uses his Blossomwood collection and it's just gorgeous AND jam packed with FLOWERS!  For the cover I created three Tim Holtz grunge style roses with some of the papers.
     The album covers were made from two sheets of Kraft Outlet Precut Chipboard Full Sheet pieces that I glued together and then covered with Lunch Bag Kraft cardstock.  More paper layers and tons of the embellishments that go with the paper collection were then added.  I printed the title tag on my computer and then gave it a single layer of UTEE(Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) which gave it the wet look.

     The inside of the album is composed of three different envelopes found at the Kraft Outlet store.

     This large pocket was made from a Catalog Lunch Bag Kraft envelope.  This envie measures 6"' x 9" so yes this is a pretty good sized mini (10" x 6 1/2").  There are four of each of these envelopes in the album and three of the other two kinds.  To hold the pocket closed I punched three circles from some more of the chipboard that I used to make the cover plus a circle of Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock.  All these were glued together and covered with a coating of Triple Thick.  I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes in the middle and added an eyelet.  The "buttons" were glued to the front of the envie with a piece of hemp twine attached to the back of the top one.  The twine just wraps around the bottom and top buttons to keep the envelope closed.  Inside each of these pockets is a huge photo mat.  All the papers and envelopes were inked with Walnut Stain Distress ink and machine stitched.

 The next envelope I used is a Lunch Bag Kraft #10 Standard Envelope.  The photos on these pages will be fairly small so I didn't want to take up any space with journaling.  To create room I made a pocket in half of the top layer of designer paper.  I just cut a small slit and used a circle punch to create a little tag pocket.  The tags I used are the Large Kraft Shipping Tags with a little bit of Twill Tape added for easy pull out.  There are photo mats on both sides of the envelope and two long photo mat tags for each envelope that slip into the end of the envelope that has been trimmed and also punched with a circle punch for easy pull out.

     The last type of "page" I added to the album is created with Lunch Bag Kraft CD Sleeve envelopes.  There are only a few embellishments on the inside of the album.  I have tons left to use but want to coordinate them with the actual photos so I'm holding off on finishing the album.  This page also has a photo mat tag in the pocket and I have added a Small Kraft Shipping Tag with Twill behind the embellishment on the front.

     I'll share the completed album after the trip!  By the way, if any of you have visited Yellowstone or the Redwoods in Northern California I'd appreciate any tips you might have.

     So "Flowers" is the order of the day for our challenge this week.  Get those projects linked up by 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday for your shot at this months $15.00 Kraft Outlet store voucher and/or a Top Three spot or Feature Me Friday.

     Have a blessed day!

Fred, She Said Blog Hop!

Note:  You can find my tutorial for this card here.

     It's Friday and that means it's Fred, She Said Blog Hop Time!  If you got here from Carol's incredible blog then you're right on track.  If not then please go back to the start at Tracey-Lynns so you don't miss out on all the requirements to qualify for the prize.
     We have a special guest co-sponsoring the hop with us this time and it's Donna from Bearly Mine Designs.  This time the hop will have ONE prize winner who will get a $25 Fred, She Said Gift Certificate AND a $25 CropStop Gift Certificate PLUS 2 Digi Paper Sets from Bearly Mine Designs.  WOW!  What a prize!
     All you have to do to win is collect the special words at each of our designers blogs and then follow the directions on the last stop.  Of course we'd love for you to leave us each a comment and a little love along the way.
     My project is a bit of an experiment.  I saw a card designed similarly to this one on one of the blogs I subscribe to, but unfortunately there were no directions so I had to wing it.  Suffice to say I will be doing some tweaking on the next one because it didn't come out quite right, but it's pretty close.
     I've used the daffodil image from the Fred, She Said Spring Flowers set.  The image is colored with Copic markers.

     As you can see in the second photo, the image part of the card is actually a separate piece that slides into the pocket of the main card.  There are so many ways you can decorate this card.  As soon as I get all the "correct" measurements figured out, I'll post them here on my blog in case you'd like to make one.

     Hope you like the card! 
     Without further ado I'll let you know that my special word is:

HOP

     and that's just what you need to do to get to the next talented FSS designer blog and that would be Darsie.
     Have fun on the hop and thanks for dropping in.

Papercraft Star Challenge #38

     It's a Papercraft Star sketch challenge this week.  I've adapted what would be an excellent page layout into a card,  The "Blossom Branch"  is a freebie digi I found at Beccy's Place.  I was looking through all my stamps trying to find a long image I could divide up and luckily stumbled on her freebie of the week.  It was the perfect spring image AND long. {grin}

     I colored the image with Copic markers, divided it into three panels, and matted each one.  The little heart was a chipboard piece I colored with a Copic marker and then covered twice with Cotton Candy Stickles.

     This will be our final week of DT sponsorship by our Grand Prize sponsor Michelle's Scrapbooking and More.

     You have until 9:00 p.m. EST on Sunday to get your submission linked up.  Don't forget to come back and vote for your favorites too.

Fred, She Said Crocuses

     Well guys, this card is about as simple as it can get.  To be honest, I still feel so rotten I just couldn't come up with anything more elaborate.  So ignore the card and focus on the pretty image.  It's one of a set of four spring flowers you can find at the Fred, She Said store.  We'll be having a blog hop on Friday and I'll have another card up using the daffodil image.
      I'm posting a few pics of the flowers around my yard to make up for the plain card so enjoy the natural beauty of God's creation.

     Yes this is wisteria--in TREE form  LOL.  I'm a really bad judge of distance but I'd say this bush is at least twelve to fifteen feet high.  And that oak tree to the right--it's over 100 years old!

     Looks like the azaleas will make it this year without getting zapped by a last minute frost, but they'll be long gone by Easter.

     I'm so sorry I've been so neglectful and behind on getting around to my bloggie friends this past week.  Everybody says this nasty mess just takes a hold and doesn't want to let go and I believe it.  Whether I've commented on your blog or not rest assured that I HAVE looked at every single post.
     I should have one more post today.  Thank goodness I already had the card designed before I got sick.  I'll be back with it later.
Hugs!

The Kraft Journal Challenge #11

     Don't know about where you live, but spring has definitely sprung around here.  My azaleas are blooming and my dark green car has a nice yellow pollen coating.  Not sure if that has anything to do with why I've been so sick the past week, but I'm sure it doesn't help.  It's still got me pretty whipped down, but I'm not giving up!
     Beth has given us a challenge of "Oh Baby It's Spring" this week at The Kraft Journal.  Now that's a pretty broad challenge so I'm sure we're going to see quite a range of projects this week.
     For my card I have used another A Day For Daisies image.  Can you guys tell I really like these digis?  The card is layered with Bazzill, Buff Ivory Cover Weight cardstock, Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock, a little bit of Prima paper and my image.  The Brown Kraft was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder and then I used some Stazon Opaque in white to "dust" the dots.  I don't usually do zigzag stitching, but I decided to give it a go on this card.  The image was colored with Copics.  I think the reason I like these digis so much is because you can get such a soft image.  The Round Metal Edge Grungy Prim tag was stamped with a Papertrey ink sentiment.  Add a few pearls, some ribbon, and of course flowers and you've got a sweet spring card.
     You have until 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday to link up your creation at The Kraft Journal.  Up for grabs is a chance at the March $15.00 store voucher to Kraft Outlet as well as a possible Top Three or Feature Me Friday spot, so link 'em up!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenge:

Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #51

     Anything Goes at Digi Doodle Shop this week.  For my card I chose to use the "Strawberries" digi stamp from the Digi Doodle Store.  I used Copic markers to color the image, made some seam binding flowers to mimic the strawberry flowers and added a few buttons.  The polka dot paper is from Martha Stewart and has the consisteancy of thin parchment paper.
