Hoot! Hoot! Hat's off to you card with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here today with another card creation 
made with stamps and supplies 
from The Crafty Scrapper! 

The designer papers I was given were the Bo Bunny Pop Quiz line, which is all school related.  When I saw the set of owl stamps from Maya Road, I decided it was a perfect time to combine the two and create a graduation card. 

I made the little grad hat out of some black paper and added a homemade tassel out of some black crochet thread.  The scallop border is a die from My Favorite Things.  That little star pin is the perfect added touch!

I hope you enjoyed my card for the day.  You can find it and all the supplies at The Crafty Scrapper!

Happy Stamping!

Vintage Fun with Melissa

Hi everyone, it's Melissa here today

to share a project with you!

I HAD A BLAST with these papers and was amazed at how 

many of my EXISTING supplies complimented the Authentique line. 

 I was a bit on the fence as to whether or not to pick up the vintage frame die (leaves are a no brainer, they go on EVERYTHING) --- however with the finished project, the picture I used was a bit bigger than the frame - no worries -- I just cut the frame to stick out the sides of the picture as if I was being quirky and meant to have the frame BEHIND the picture !!

  

 I tried and tried and tried to capture the details on this FAB flower -- it turned out SOOO much better than I imagined.   I love Maya Road's Iridescent Pearl spray - it is just the right amount of glimmer to anything.. fabric, paper, you name it!  Then I traced along the edges of Maya's burlap rose with Icicle Stickles ... it seriously transformed the flower  -- grab a look see at the store.   

 

 For the Tim Holtz Leaf die, I used teh fun flower paper, traced the edges with a paint pin and spritzed it with the Iridescent Pearl spray. For the frame, I just used the Authentique solid pink paper, stamped with a handwriting stamp, then rubbed the distress ink around the edges for depth. 

As many of the Waxahachie area people know, our dear friend Shawna Mathis' daughter Avery was in an accident just before Christmas and was in ICU for over a week with severe burns.   She was on my heart so much when I was playing with the Authentique line that my initial project was geared toward her.   I just had to give it to her early so it will not be on display at the store.    I used several of the techniques above but wanted to highlight a few differences

The frame is cereal chipboard with Authentique paper and hand writing stamp.  

The flowers are a crepe paper material and available at the store - adding the infamous Iridescent Spray added SO much!

Try cutting out the individual words of a quote and tracing the paper in one color and outlining the square after they have been adhered...  

 

Thanks for looking and let me know if you try anything outside your comfort zone.... I am glad I did. 

Have fun

Simply Us Mini Album with Amy

Hi blogging friends! It's  Amy here today with a mini book to share!

 When I received this paper in one of my design team kits, though the colors were bright, the collection screamed vintage project for me. This sent me rooting around for the small collection of photos I have from my childhood.

Tea cups have been collected in my family for many generations. That particular fetish missed me, but I can't see a teapot or teacup without remembering those who came before me who treasured them. When I knew I was going vintage photos with this project the Maya Road Tea Pot mini album was a sock and shoe kind of decision.

Lots of Maya Road goodness happening here. I sprayed the letters with Maya Mist and then covered them in Stickles and Crackle accents. The paper collection I used on the entire project is Authentique's Flourish collection.

The larger leaves on the flowers were made with the cutouts of the tea pot handle when I originally covered the pots. Save your scraps, it's interesting the number of times I find a use for them in a project!

I used my Vagabond to cut out the flower shapes here out of the scraps I had once I had covered the tea pots. The button was one from my great grandmother's collection which seemed fitting with this particular project.

A picture with all four generations of women is priceless, I used the arrow to direct the eye to flip the page over....

And here is the backside! I used Wendy Vecchi embossing paste and a stencil here for the clock in the background. The envelope is also made of the Authentique paper.

This project is on display as well as all the supplies you need! 

Happy Scrappin'!

Spring Banner Card with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here today to share with you another card creation with 
wonderful products from The Crafty Scrapper! 

 

Lately, I have been seeing all kinds of ideas with banners on cards.  I knew I wanted to join in and so I created this fun and festive banner for today's card.  I combined Maya Road's banner chipboard pieces, which I inked with distress ink, with beautiful papers from Authentique's Flourish line, and small dies from My Favorite Things.  And of course, a stamped sentiment completes the card.  I love how it came out and I hope you do too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!
