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!

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,

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,

Amazing Birthday So Thankful

Have you ever seen a stamp set and wondered....what in the world can you do with THAT stamp? Well, friends, this little thankful banner stamp from Amazing Birthday set was that one!

I wanted to use the NEW in colors and came up with this card...

A close up on the little medallion reveals the details. Here's how I made it:

I punched out a 1-1/4" circle and snipped the edge to give it a look like petals. Then I fluffed them up.

The little gold twisty ribbons are pulled from the gold Bakers Twine. Thanks to Shelli Gardner the SU! CEO for giving me that tip! :) I finished it off with a Mossy Meadow ribbon tail.

Layering up a bunch of different colored banners and one stamped on on the bottom layer and the greeting banner and you're done!

I really really loved this card and was SO glad to see it on the Display Board at the SU! Convention. Make sure you follow all of this years Display Stampers on Pinterest. Click HERE for the pin board

Happy Stamping,

Rainbow Amazing Birthday

When I saw this stamp set for the first time, my eyes were drawn to this particular stamp in the Amazing Birthday stamp set. I immediately thought, rainbow! Then I got my box of goodies from SU! and the Sweet Taffy DSP was in there. Ah ha! Bright rainbow colors! So, I painted markers on the stamp and put it all together with the DSP background. Cute, colorful, EASY and fun!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Amazing Birthday

Colors: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie chevron ribbon, Melon Mambo taffeta ribbon, rhinestones, Chevron Border punch (I cut it down a bit), Apothecary Accents framelit.

This is a GREAT card to make in a class. It's so easy, but it showcases a bunch of different products.

Happy Stamping,

Kindness Butterfly

I got the set called Kindness matters so long ago and have never used it. When a challenge using Regal Rose and Basic Gray came up this stamp came right out at me. I really wanted to put one of the greetings on it, but I really couldn't find a place for it....that was pleasing to my eye. :) We can always use blank cards, though.

So here it is...

Here is a close up. I used the new framelit called Apothecary Labels. Then I ran some taffeta ribbon through it and then tied some knots on it to add some texture. I also love the new fan embossing folder. So sweet! What could finish this card off better than some rhinestones?!

Check out this week's challenge at Dynamic Duos....there's only a few hours left for this one, but you can always check out what's next!! :)

HAPPY STAMPING!!

A Rainbow You Can Touch

I joined a challenge this week over at Stampin' Celebration. It's a monthly challenge blog, check it out here. Here is the inspiration photo for the challenge:

Ever dream that you can touch a rainbow? Somehow I feel that it's soft and fluffy.....like a pattern of lovely ribbon!

Check out this card...it's covered in several different colors and textures. Super fun and a great way to use up those scraps that you just can't bring yourself to throw away. :)

Happy Stamping,
