A Couple of Cards to Share + a Giveaway!

Hello Everyone!

I don't know if it is me, but this month is going fast! The shop is moving really, really well thanks to you all and I finally had this weekend off from work to be relax and of course to get crafty, specially creating cards. This week I created cards focusing in the use of flair badges. The first card that I will share with you was inspire in one of my new Flair Sets 'Baby Boy', full of blues, yellow and Kraft colors great for Baby Projects.

Here is what I came with:

I used Bella Blvd Baby Boy Collection Papers to create this card. I love the soft blues, grays and yellows of this collection, great not only for Boys project but also for other projects too. The white tab that I used is part of one of the Studio Calico kits, but I can't remember which. And the Flair Badge is from Baby Boy Flair set here:

Then, I made another card but with a really wild but different twist on it. I wanted to used the new Filigree Leaves from Freckled Fawn available now in the store and this is what I came up with: 

On a cream cardstock, I used the new Hero Art Tweed Pattern background stamp with Versamark Clear Ink Pad for a subtle effect. The animal print is from an old Basic Grey collection and I cut pieces of cream canvas to create the flower which is the focal point of the card. And last, I glued the Filigree Leaves with glossy accents which is a really strong glue great for any kind of material.

I really had a great time creating this cards and now I am trying to get more scrapbook pages done and getting into Project Life but with a different twist, no just for document the day to day life but to create a Traveling Album. I will have more details and picture later for this.

And now GIVEAWAY TIME! I would like you to leave a comment below with the link to your favorite project for 2012 - 2013 using Flair Badges, specially OUR FLAIR sets. If you don't have any project with flair don't worry, you can still participate! 

We are giving away $10 gift certificate for our store or Etsy shop. This giveaway will close on February 13, 2013, so don't miss this opportunity.

Have a great day!

Card!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are having a great day and a relaxing weekend! As you'all know, CHA already started yesterday and we are looking forward to bring lots of the new releases and more of the brands that you love. I will be adding Wood Chips and other products from Freckled Fawn and tons of Bits Flair Badges to the store as well.

Now, to give you more ideas in how to use your flair badges, I want to share a card that I made using Amy Tangerin Ready Set Go 6 x 6 paper pad, Distress Ink, a Woodgrain background stamp and of course a Flair Badge as Sentiment of the card.

I cut a Kraft cardstock in a standard size card, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Then I added a piece of paper slightly smaller to the bottom part of the card from (floral pattern paper).

I created the tag just using regular with cardstock. I used Distress Ink in 'Tumble Glass', (which coordinates really well with the blues in the floral pattern paper) to color the tag entirely, then I used the same ink to pad my woodgrain stamp and stamp it over the tag. I added a piece of the woodgrain pattern from the same pad and a strip of arrows paper and some cream twine.

The Just a Note Flair Badge also coordinates really well with the orangy yellow in the leaves of the pattern paper. Flair Badges are not just a really good accent to the pages, but also work really well as card sentiments too. I hope this idea is useful and inspire you to take your flair badges out and create! 

Layout Share!

Hello y'all!

I hope you had a really Happy Christmas Day! This week have been very fun and crafty for me. Today I want to share a sketch from a website completely new to me, Scrap Friends. They have a monthly sketch challenge open internationally. Their sketches are unique and completely different, I really like to use them to create. The sketch for this month is this one:

I used the idea of a diagonal line in the sketch to create the background of my page but just using a single paper. Instead of using 2 photos, I just used one small rectangular photo. For this layout, most of the products used were from the Studio Calico 34th Street Kit.

I LOVE the soft tones in this month kit. They are really girly, whimsical and playful.

Here is my layout:

What I did was cut a 12 x 12 paper in half diagonally, then I cut a strip of paper diagonally too, so it can fit with the big piece of paper. I added a couple of layers of paper behind the picture to create depth and texture in the page. For embellishment I add vellum arrows, wood veneers, doily, enamel dots and a & flair badge in the title. I left the title and the placement of the embellishments in the same spots as to keep with the sketch design.

I hope you like it and have a great day!

Joy Card!

Hi!!

I have been in a card mode these days and I want to share a card that I made for SC Sunday Sketch Challenge. I want to take the most of my Crate Paper Sleigh Ride 6 x 6 paper pad not only because I really love the colors in this collection but because this is a great way to stretch your supplies, using the same products but in different ways. The sketch looks like this:

I just took the sketch and flip it vertically instead of horizontal. Then I added a background paper to the card base, some pattern paper banners, the sentiment and instead of using stars, I used SC Snowflakes Wood Veneers. Here is how my card looks like:

For my 'JOY' sentiment, I used one of the Flair badges from the Santa Flair Set available in the shop. I really had fun making a card again! I'm even more happy because I was selected randomly for this week, so I won a $5.00 SC gift card.

I hope you enjoy it, and hope this gave you an idea on how to use your badges!

Merry Christmas Card

Hola!

Today I wanted to do something a little bit different so I decide to share with you a card. I usually don't make cards but is always good to have a couple handy for Christmas time. Kristina Werner has a video series of Holiday Cards and a couple of days ago she did three gift card holder cards which I like a lot.

Taking the same design in mind I did my own card holder card too and this is my take:

This card is 6" x 7" and scored at 1" and then at 3 1/4". I used the AC Pow Glitter paper (that came in my Studio Calico kit) in the front part and the 6 x 6 Crate Paper Sleigh Ride paper pad. I folded the 1" side of the card and attached 2 tiny brads to make the pocket.

It's a super easy card to make and just a few supplies needed. 

Enjoy it and have a great day :)
