Tattered Lace Easel Card

a Cut at Home Design Team Project 

I don't know why I don't make more easel cards, I love the look of them and they aren't hard.  Today's inspiration came from an assortment of Tattered Lace Magazines (links below the video).  Not only do you get free die(s) with each magazine you also get gorgeous designer paper, instructions for projects, templates and an huge amount of inspiration.

  

I had so many bits and pieces I'd cut out when playing and designing my card I decided to make a second one, this time an A2 card (the easel card is a 6" square).  Again using the dies and papers (along with a few other goodies from the store) for this second card.

Come join me on todays video, we'll make the easel card together, I'll share the fabulous, inspirational insides to the magazines and hopefully inspire you to make a few cards yourself.

All Glammed Up!

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Today I'll be sharing 4 projects that I've made using Heartfelt Creations All Glammed Up collection including paper, dies and stamps. Here's a little peek at my shaped shoe card.

Here's a snippet of my tag, don't you love the dress.  You'll see all these projects in their entirety on today's video at the end of this post.  

The third project is a card using the unique new dies that have a middle part and two outer cutting dies.  By using just one you can get a lovely flourish like the one shown on my card.  I'll share just how easy it is to achieve this effect on the video.

Last but not least is a tag gift card holder with more cut aparts and dies from the collection.  Fun stuff and an endless amount of projects just awaiting your creative touch with any or all of the All Glammed Up collection.  A linked list of the supplies I've used from Cut at Home will be directly below the video.

Meg's Garden Vintage Victorian Christmas Card

a Meg's Garden Design Team Project

Today I'm sharing a little bit of Vintage and a little bit of Victorian in a Christmas Card featuring both collections from Meg's Garden of Papercraft Delights Store.  There will be links to the products used from the store directly below the video.

I am in love with the old world look of these collections, use one or the other or mix and match them as I've done today.  This is a 5"x7" card with a Kraft cardstock base.  I added some Diamond Stickles on Santa's beard to give it a little shimmer.

Today's video will walk you through how to do everything from the collage background to adding the decorative flowers.  I hope you'll join me there.

SOLD - Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppy Mini Album

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

This mini is has been sold
Thank you all for your interest!
 

Today's mini is made from a pre-made journal designed by Frank Garcia and sold by Prima.  I've used Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppy Collection on the six two page spreads.

 

I've used a lot of fussy cut flowers and elements from the paper line for decoration.  The spine is covered in three pieces of black lace from The Piece by Piece.  I used Diamond Stickles to accent the baby's breath on the front and back of the mini.

  The mini measures 5.5" x 7.5" with six chipboard pages.

Each set of paper co-ordinates with designer paper, pockets, tuck ins or unders and black mats stamped with stamps from the collection.

There is an abundance of places to adhere photos and journal spots.  Here I've created a pocket on the left with a matching belly band on the right and added a top and bottom stopper to keep mats and photos from sliding out of the mini.

Check the supply list at the bottom of this post for a complete list of the Spellbinders, Sizzix and Tattered Lace dies I've used.

On video I'll walk you through each page sharing what the inserts look like and also tips and ideas I used to create the pages.

I love the look of these pages.  They were created by fussy cutting the sentiment strip and flower spray from the top of one of the collections 12"x12" papers.  By gluing the sides and middle down I've created a belly band and open pocket for the mats and many extra photos to be tucked in. 

The chalk ink on the black mat stamped with the Collection's stamps just gives a pop.  Of course once the photos are placed many of the stamped images will be reduced or eliminated but they are nice until the photos glued down.

The vertical tuck in pocket on the right was created by putting a small hole in the top and bottom and then cutting a slit with my Kraft knife to join them.  Removing just a sliver of the paper leaves a nice way to slip the mat under the paper and allowing just enough to peek out for removal.

Come join me on today's video, there are lots more photos to inspire you to find a pre-made mini and decorate it yourself.
