Friday Fave - July 20th

Happy Friday! I've been looking in the kit creations gallery trying to pick just one...the gallery is filled with lots of inspiration. But had to pick one...

I picked Pruts layout here, using lots of the Echo Park from the May Grab Bag!

I picked Pruts' layout because of the textures, colors, and photo. She created so much texture with the pattern paper, the twine, the brads. It balanced so well with that adorable photo, which she printed large to use and embellish around it...which I love how all of those embellishments and texture, just bring your eye right to that adorable photo!Amazing layout, Pruts! Thank you for sharing your work with us!

Celebrate Summer: Here Comes the Sun

Hello ladies!!!

Today I've got my summer challenge for you and a new layout.

Summer means SUN for most of us right?!  

So use it.

Take those pictures with sun flare or create a layout using a sunburst of some kind.

Fun and easy ;)

Here's a new layout I created showing both sun flare and a sun on my layout.   Using the new October Afternoon 9 to 5.

Be sure to check out my challenge on the forum for more examples and to load your work.  I've got a RAK up for grabs so be sure to play along ;)

July Card Class

Hi everyone,

Ready for another card class?

Here's the card we'll be creating today:

​

Step 1: Make a 5.5x 4.33 inch card with a white cardstock

Step 2 : adhere your flourish paper on your card base:

Step3: take a manila tag and add Chinese Ink splatters and spray paint on it and stamp with a text background 



Step 4: adhere your patterned papers on the bottom of the manila tag
first tear the top of your spice paper and adhere it at the bottom of your manila tag
Then adhere a strip of brocade paper and a strip of stipes paper


For my sentiment I used my Dymo letter. Adhere it on the right side of your tag
At this point you just need to add embellishments or final touches on your card
I added some 'Travel' garland ,a line of black pen all around my flourish paper and black sewing thread on the top of the tag.
That's all!!

​

Can't wait to see your gorgeous creations♥
