Easter is just a month away, but luckily Eyelet Outlet has all the brads you need for fast, easy, mailable Easter Cards. This one features our adorable Chick Brads, Colored Eggs, Heart Brads and Flower Washi.
Holiday Jumpstart: Cardinal Song is Paper Anthology's newest holiday card kit, which features the eponymous cardinal perched on a chunky layered sentiment, surrounded by holiday foliage.
Paper Anthology’s Holiday Jumpstart Card Kit is our pre-packaged kit that includes everything you need (except adhesive) to complete FIVE copies of this new original holiday card design. This edition is called “Cardinal Song” because of the sheet music embossing and the handsome layered diecut bird.
We all love the IDEA of making holiday cards throughout the year, instead being overloaded in November and December; but sometimes it’s hard to be inspired during the “off-season”. That issue is solved by this pre-packaged kit, which features everything you need (except adhesive) to complete five copies of this original design. Also included are complete written instructions (not pictured, but included!) and a nice big photo for reference.
This kit contains all of the bits and pieces you see here. Just add adhesive and optional inking, put all the parts together and VOILA... you've got a JUMPSTART on holiday cards!
It's a bold, blue (and green!) Mandala Monday featuring precisely half of the newest Archival Ink release from Ranger; to wit: Best Dressed, Big Plans and Avocado Toast. In my Dina Wakley Watercolor Journal, with some Make-It Sprinkle Hearts Stenciling on top. Letter It Fineliner and Posca Pen details.
Of all the random Saturday collages I've ever posted, this miiiiight be the random-iest! Whale shark, speckled orchid, and handcut, outlined and shadowed waves in my Dina Wakley Ledger Journal from Ranger.
If, like me, you're old enough to remember the original cast of SNL, this may remind you of the classic "Land Shark" sketch and if you'd like to re-watch that delightful bit of fishy tomfoolery, I assure you it's worth clicking this link to YouTube!
I hope you''ll find time this weekend to make something silly and fun... just for yourself! ♥♥♥
This fortnight we're celebrating one of our very favorite holiday aspects at Jingle Belles: Christmas Music! We're asking you to create a card (or gift card holder, or whatever else you'll be needing for the holidays) that incorporates music, musical instruments, or even the title of a favorite Christmas Carol.
Here's my card:
I used Ranger's White Embossing Powder with Simon Hurley's create. Sheet Music Background Stamp on white cardstock, then added a nice dark coat of Best Dressed Archival Ink on top; plus a little flick of Dina Wakley White Gloss Spray. The sweet chickadee image is an older Masterpieces Made Simple card from Penny Black, which I trimmed down just a tiny bit, and adorned with Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads. I matted both panels on gold cardstock, added a square of older Ciao Bella paper, a Tim Holtz Christmas Sticker Sentiment and a wrap of crinkly seambinding to complete this dramatic 5.5" square card.
JB2605: Fa-La-La-La-La runs until the evening of Wednesday, March 11th. Hop over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and the fun little prize one random cardmaker will score, just for linking up their music-centric card(s) with us this time.
Time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and this fortnight we're going for the GOLD; by which we mean we'd like to see cards and projects which prominently feature that gorgeous metallic shade. Here's my card:
SOS568: Golden Years runs until the evening of Monday, March 9th. Hop over to SOS to see the rest of the Crew's Golden goodies, then start thinking about what you'll link up with us this fortnight.
