Canvas Mounted Scrapbook Page, Kinda Eclectic

You know those projects you make that you just fall in love with? Well this is one of them for me. The bright colors, the bits of sparkle and my cute family all mounted on to an 8"x10" canvas.

Love it!

I used the Sweet Taffy DSP with Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base. I stamped the starburst image on the Daffodil Delight cardstock with Versamark and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I made a Melon Mambo spiral flower. Stamped more of the Kinda Eclectic images and cut them out. On the flower I attached strands of ribbon, sequins and bakers twine. Pearls on the butterfly too. I added the tiny punched flowers with pearls and there you have it.

Mounting the page onto the canvas:

BEFORE you add ANY embellishments, use mod podge all over the canvas in a thin layer. Softly press the base of the page onto the canvas. Curl and press the edges on too. Turn the canvas over and flatten and press with your hands to smooth out the page base cardstock.

After it's all dried, then go back and add the embellishments.

Happy Stamping!

Merry Seasonally Scattered

This was a card I made for the Stampin' Up! Convention Display Board. Although it didn't make it on the actual board I just wanted to share it with you. :)

Lots of silver sparkle and white embossed stamp image on Bermuda Bay cardstock.The card front is mounted on Silver Foil Paper with Silver flowers and some rhinestones. I used the negative image to frame the stamped greeting. The cut out is a shape from the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

Legacy Scrapbook Page

A few months ago I made THIS page honoring my Grandma and Grandpa. Now I get to honor my other set of grandparents. And yes, they are all still alive and both marriages are going strong at over 65 years each!! WOW....amazing, right?!

I love this photo of my Grandma and Grandpa....they are so cute!! I used Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black and Very Vanilla. Of course GOLD, too! I used the Doily Stamp....yes...I know it's retired, but this grandma makes doilies and I am so blessed to have them all over my house! She is so talented!! I will be putting this in a frame to hang in my house....although, I'm sure, like the other page I made, my mom will be trying to "borrow" it for her house. ;)

Hop on over and join us at Stampin' Celebration!!

Happy Stamping,

Queen Mary Vintage Birthday

It's time for a color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I wanted to go with a non-Christmas card with these colors. When I was scanning through my stamps this one struck me as the one! It's called "Traveler". It looks like the Queen Mary that's docked out here in Long Beach, California. It's a major tourist attraction. The little pop of Cherry Cobbler was a perfect fit.

Hop on over there to Hand Stamped Sentiments and join us for the fun!!

Happy Stamping,

Kinda Eclectic Vintage Style

I've said it before and I'll say it again....Kinda Eclectic is very versatile. Take this card, for instance, I gave it a real vintage look.

I used Hello Honey and Daffodil Delight for the yellow tones. I stamped the leaves with a fully inked stamped, then stamped it off onto another paper then stamped the image again onto the Very Vanilla cardstock. I did that with both colors to give it the faded look. I stamped the greeting in Basic Gray, and added some Hello Honey ribbon.

I added some Basic Gray cardstock for layering, some banners, gold sequins, 2 other stamped images in the background and there you have it!

HAPPY STAMPING,

KRISTA

Happy Project Life Kinda Eclectic Card

The Project Life by SU! cards can be used in Memory Keeping, but really there is so much more you can make with them! This card showcases one of the 4"x6" cards from the Everyday Adventure PL Kit. The "Happy is one side of the card and I cut off part of it. The striped banner in the stack of the banners is the piece I cut off, just the other side of the PL card. I stamped the sunburst from the Kinda Eclectic set behind the greeting. Added some silver foil paper and star sticker from the Everyday Adventures accessories pack. There you have it!

Happy Stamping,

Krista

Kinda Eclectic, Kinda Simple

Who doesn't like an easy card?! I LOVE this card, the colors, the use of stamps and the ease of it. The most difficult part was "fussy cutting" out the leaves and deciding where to place the rhinestones. Other than that...this is a great card to make over and over. This set again....awesomeness!!

This card didn't make it on the display board, but there were so many similar cards up there, I felt honored to "be like" my peers....or should I say the SU! rockstar artists!! Please make sure you visit their blogs. They are listed below....

Seasonally Scattered Scrapbook Page

I wanted to use this particular picture for my scrapbook page, so I matched the colors to it. I used Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Very Vanilla and accents with Gold Foil paper. This page measures 8"x8".

I cut out 3 of each sized hearts from the Hearts Framelits. I folded them in half, and then adhered them together. Then I fanned them out to create a 3D look. The stamp set is called Seasonally Scattered.

Happy Stamping,

Krista

Project Life x SU! Hanging Memories

Creating projects for the Convention Display Boards we were asked to make "out of the box" projects using the Project Life by Stampin' Up! kits. This is the Everyday Adventure Kit and Accessory Pack.

The only things I used that weren't PLxSU was the Pumpkin Chevron Ribbon, the Skinny Mini Alpha set and some markers for journaling.

I love how this turned out. I used the 4"x4" cards and some of the accessories from the kit. Cute, huh!?

I just adhered the Pumpkin Ribbon to the back of each card. Super fun! A hanging Memory Keeper!

Happy Stamping,

Krista

Lullaby DSP and Amazing Birthday

There is GOLD and SPARKLE on this card, I promise!!

I used Gold Foil Paper for 2 of the banners and then sequin stars and circles. Can you find them?

This card made the Display Board at the Stampin' Up! Convention, too. It's a great card to make if you like sparkle and layers.

The DSP is Lullaby. The colors are Hello Honey, Crisp Canteloupe and Baked Brown Sugar and Gold of course.

Kindess Tag With Kinda Eclectic

I'm so bummed the photo looks so yellow....on my iPhoto program it looks fine. Sorry!

Anyways....I'm such a vertical/horizontal card maker I pushed myself to go tilted....HA!

I cut a cute little tag with the Tag Topper Punch and stamped the leaf on it. Added a little sprout of various ribbons, punched some flowers from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and there's the tag!

The butterfly was easy with the stamp and coordinating punch. I added some pearls and a banner for the greeting. Done!

Pencil Bag with Project Life Tag

Another project that I made for the display board was a fun 3D using the Everyday Adventure Project Life Pack. I made this fun tag as a bag topper for pencils.

I stapled the tag with some bakers twine and silver ribbon. The tag is made from strips of the PL cards. SO so easy...PL is not just for Memory Keeping!!

This week at Stampin' Celebration it's time for back to school projects. Let's see what you can come up with!!

This was a project from the Stampin' Up! Convention 2014. Don't forget to follow us on Pinterest by clicking on the link below the photo....
