Knots Badge

I love to buy ribbon.  I have tons of it and rarely use it which is why I chose to participate in the Ribbon Technique Challenge.

Your challenge is to pick one of the ribbon techniques from below and utilize it in a project of your own.  You can re-create an exact replica of the designer's project or reinterpret it in your own way.



I thought Erin's idea was fabulous.  (No tying!!)


I'm not sure what the product is that I used.  It feels like seam binding but the label says it is for crocheting.  I saw it for cheap in the junk store and bought it up!


The clouds that are raised came from a video posted by Jessica Witty in the Card Set Challenge.

Stamp.a.Faire 2012

Well, as you can see I did not make it back by dinner.  We were at a party celebrating 7 July birthdays and the slip-n-slide was calling my name.  I kept telling the kids "just one more time" and you know how that goes!  I did get some time to play last night and this morning. 



I didn't have any pictures ready so for my project I made a mini book to keep all my computer usernames and passwords.  I have had them on a note card ring but it has finally bit the dust.  This looks much prettier anyway.


I like the binding technique from Heather's video.  It is quick and easy.  I did take her advice and scored the card stock for easier opening.


On the inside I added lines from Top Ten to keep things neat and tidy.


The tab wording was printed in Print Shop.  Then I turned the Mat Stack 5 die on end and cut them out.

I won't be able to join everyone until after dinner but I am looking forward to the time I can spend.  I hope everyone has a fabulous day!

colourQ challenge #145...


Happy Sunday everyone!  Just of few quick minutes to post the ColourQ challenge card I made.  I love the colors this week.  All I could think was sunflowers when I saw it.


 I started with a white card base that I antiqued with tea dye duos.  Then I ran the craft card stock through my cuttlebug with an inked up wood grain impression plate.  I was very happy with the effect.


The sunflowers took some double stamping.  I tried to use light and dark ink separately but the light barely showed up.  I opted to stamp the dark on top of the light and was pleased with the outcome.


 The frame was made from a chocolate chip card stock and backed with a rustic cream.  I saw the twine idea on Nicole Heady's blog this week and knew I would have to case it.


The butterfly was cut from a die out of patterned paper.  I like the little punch of eucalyptus that it brings to the card.  It pulls the sentiment to the eye.

CAS-ual Friday Let's Strip

Well, our company has left us :(  We had a wonderful visit and wish it didn't have to come to an end.  I did manage to squeeze in a bit of stamping.  I made some cards to send back with my MIL.  One of them fits perfect for this weeks CAS-ual Friday challenge.



It's no secret that I am a scrap hoarder so this project was right up my alley.  I dug through my basket and found the colors of the rainbow popping out at me.  The clouds seemed perfect for the sentiment.


For the inside I created a cloud with a silver lining.  I used the smaller die to cut out a piece of silver embossing sheet.  Then I used the same die to cut out center of the large cloud.  I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.
