Free and Brave

Happy Memorial Day everyone!  Laura here today, and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and maybe spent at least a little time in thanks for those that have served, and still serve to give us our freedom!  I'm celebrating with a little patriotic inspiration in a card:

I used punch #301 to create this sweet card.....I punched a row of this image on a sheet of plain cardstock, then used it to stencil the stars, and "fireworks" as I like to call them!  Makes for a pretty, festive card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Happy Memorial Day!

How To Make A Terrific Card Using Gears For A New Look

Today I have instructions on how to make a terrific card using gears for a new look. My favorite card sketches offer placement for flowers. To use such a sketch for a masculine card apply gears or stars as your go to shape.
~ Today, Be You ~

When using a gear the shape can be punched into the base of the card. Back it with a contrasting color and the card design begins to take shape immediately. Here the 4.5x6.5" top layer is cut from light colored cardstock and the dark under layer is 5x7".

These gears are punched with Kreaxions Punch #902 which can be purchased from Just Imagine Crafts. They work for a steampunk style as well. To add to this theme fussy cut a trellis or other wrought iron shape. If the design is overly involved cut portions with a craft knife and leave the rest.

The papers and dew drops for this card are from The Robin's Nest. I used a horse tag sticker and punched stars, circles, and gears from cardstock.

The lower corners of the card I punched with Kreaxions Punch # 902 and Insert B.

ScraPerfect has adhesive and tools that are very effective with these type of embellishments. The Dew Drops adhere easily with the Best Glue Ever. It's a breeze to add drops of glue to the thin portions of the gears by attaching a No Clog Writing Cap to the glue.

Check my blog Scrappin' Chaos for a list of supplies.

Punches or stencils? Well, BOTH of course!!!

Hi y'all!!! Lavender here again and I want to share

this card with y'all.... I did something a little different on this one....

Look in the corners of the stitch look square..... I used punch #302 with inserts A  to make

a stencil and used ink and a small sponge to add the design.....  

I could see this being a lot of fun to make different designs on any card!!!

These punches are awesome! They give way more versatility

than just a regular punch!!! Why not give them a try??

Please visit my blog to see this and many more cards!!!

Precious Baby

I created this card "Precious Baby" for our granddaughter who is due in June.  I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #921.  I used both the positive and negative pieces from  the punch to create the layered ruffles across the onesie and the positive piece from the punch for the border strip at the top.  I love the vintage feel of this card and the little details that the punch added.

It's All About Butterflies!

Hi everyone!  Laura here to share a quick and easy card today....and better yet, it's created using the pieces I used to create the butterfly shaker card shared a few weeks ago.  You can find it on my blog HERE.  This card uses the piece I die cut out to make the shaker card window and the "doily" created with the butterfly punch #901from Just Imagine:

The doily has the ink on it from using it as a stencil to create the fun effect on the die cut butterfly.  I love using pieces that might otherwise go in the trash, but instead use them to inspire something new!

Hope you are inspired too!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Remember to stop by the Just Imagine Crafts store to find these butterfly finds! 

How To Make an Easy Yet Beautiful 3D Paper Rose

Charity here from Scrappin Chaos with instructions for how to make an easy yet beautiful 3D paper rose. This card also showcases Kreaxions Punch #913 with a bit of flair and plenty of pink! For the doily I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to to make a 4 inch circle and the Star Stencil assisted me with marking the points to punch. I also
used Punch #604 for the butterfly to the right of the doily.

~ Touch The Stars ~

The spiral 3D paper roses were made from a single sheet of cardstock pictured below.
Find it and the other beautiful papers and embellishments used for this card at The Robin's Nest store.

Directions:
Step 1) Carefully cut a rose along the silver outer edge.
Step 2) Cut that rose into a spiral, using the silver line as a vague pattern.
Step 3) Starting at the center, curl and glue the paper into a rounded shape.
Press the glued surfaces together until the adhesive bonds before moving onto the next portion.

 

ScraPerfect provides the exact adhesive needed for this project. The Best Glue Ever is the just-right bonding strength and the large No-Clog Writing Cap allows you to place a single dot of glue at strategic points.

 

Here is a quick peek at all the design elements I used for this card.

In the US Kreaxions product are available from Just Imagine Crafts.

This card has a 5x7" cardstock base with a 4.5" x 6.5" layer over the top.

Reuse Reduce Recycle

​

 

Almost everything on this card is recycled!! 

Lace flower I made from old lace. 

Other flower I found in the house we just moved into. It was a pin. 

Of course the card board is from a discarded box.

The paper swirls are from a die cut that messed up. I cut the good parts off and used them. 

The silver button and leaf was also found here. 

The butterfly was a trial die cut. I added some ink with sponge to make it look old. 

The little glass bottle came from dollar store with nail glitter in it. I put tiny gemstone chips in it.

 

I hope you enjoy my card! Recyclables are everywhere, you just have to look!!

 

I love this Butterfly die by Kreaxions..

And I used The Best Glue Ever on this project...

 

Thank you for stopping by!!!!
