October Blog Hop – featuring Fall Card Kit

It is our monthly card kit reveal time. Scrapbook Blessings Club is joining up with Scrapping For Less, and we are bringing you affordable Mini CARD KITS!!!

Here is a quick peak of this months kit

Check out the projects I was able to do with this great kit!

————————————————————————-

It is perfect for all levels of scrapbookers! So whether you are a newbie or an experience scrapper, these kits has everything you’ll need to create fast and easy projects. All you need to do is get out your scissors, paper trimmer and adhesive.

Why card kits? A couple reasons, one is getting fabulous papers and embellishments from popular Scrapbooking Companies, without buy a ton that you never use and letting it all just sit in the drawer.

  The second is cost. I am a frugal scrapbooker and affordability is always high on my list.  It is not always easy to spend $30- $50 on a kit.

Our kits will be $15.00 which INCLUDES shipping!

And lastly is convenience, with these kits, there is no guess work in getting papers to coordinate along with embellishments and fabrics, etc.

Who doesn’t love fun and affordable–papers, flowers, chalk inks, brads, chalkboard, stamps, buttons.. more!! Every month you get something a little different!

Tuesday – Cards @Scrapbook Blessings Club

Hi there friends in the crafting world, Carolyn here to share a couple Christmas cards I recently made…

 

Christmas Village Church from here.

 

The image was stamped on white card stock, and than die cut with a oval die.  Each scallop on the mat I applied Liquid Pearls and attached a ribbon on bottom.  Place it over a snow-flaked embossed mat and all attached to white card stock base. Sentiment from Stampin! Up Teeny Tiny Words.  Glitter glue applied to roof of the church; and I used Wink of Stella glitter pens to color in the stained glass window, plus the windows.  Door is also colored in with Wink of Stella glitter pen.

 

 

Photo download from a search on Internet that I printed out, and applied glitter/stickles to areas in photo that had glittered.  And created a easel card using my Silhouette Cameo.  I believe the photo was printed out and than cut out with my Brother’s Scan ‘n Cut machine.  

 

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me and happy crafting to you all

 

Garden Digital Scrapbook Layout

Hi, I am going to share my Garden Digital Scrapbook Layout using Annabelle’s Garden Baskets from ClipArt From the Heart by, I believe by Cheryl Seslar.  This file of Annabelle’s Garden Baskets is not in the store, but this file:  Sitting Sadie Garden Thyme CFTH:

 

 

is close to the file I requested.  I love the images in the Annabelle’s Garden Baskets and will work with them more as I have time.  

 

Here is what I done with Image #3 from the set…

 

 

12 x 12 size

png and /or jpeg

3600 x 3600

Supplies/software used:

• I used both Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and paint.net 4.0.3 for creating this layout.  Paint.net was used for creating .png format of the flower cluster, frame and garden bench.
• The garden ben, frame and paint splatter are considered brushes from PSE software, which loaded onto a page within the software, and than saved as a jpeg.  Brought it over to paint.net to change to .png format (makes it easier to place on the layout page.
• The ‘Relax’ sentiment tag from Digital Scrapbooking at Pixal Scrapper.
• Image #3 from the Annabelle’s Garden Basket set

I can use this creation either for a layout or as a card to send to someone to cheer them up or say thank you.
 
Thank you for stopping by to visit with me; and take a moment and go over to  ClipArt From the Heart and check out their store.  There is several designers so you can check out what all are doing.

Squirrel with Sunflower Recipe Card

Hey there crafty friends, Carolyn here to share my Saturday morning post for Sunsational Stamps using the Squirrel with Sunflower image from the Going a Little Nutty set found here.

I am presently creating a Mini-ablum cookbook as a Fence for the main design…it’s a work in progress and thought this Squirrel with a sunflower and pumpkin would be unique for several of the Recipe Cards.  I colored the images with Copic markers and created a back shadow so it could be highlighted on the Recipe Card.  (I am starting with the dessert section for this Recipe Book!)

 

 

The slice of pumpkin in lower left corner is from SilhouetteAmerica Online store.  All images was print ‘n cut using my Sihouette Cameo along with the recipe card.   

 

Thank you for stopping to visit with me and please visit us at Sunsational Stamps  and on our Facebook page at Sunsational Stamps FB page; where a challenge has been posted.  Please join us in this challenge which is going on through August 31st.  You can read all about the challenge on the Facebook page.  Happy crafting to all.
