Photo Keeper- Craft Project Central

Good morning!
Today I have another fabulous Craft Project Central project to share with you!  This awesome project was created by Monika Davis.

Summer is over, but you don’t have to forget about your vacation just yet. Make this super cool Photo Keeper that can also function as a mini scrap book in a box. Keep your treasured photo memories in one place.  Its size makes it perfect to take it with you in your bag to hold your pictures while you travel. This is also the perfect present with the matching greeting card and small embellishments to someone who loves to travel and take pictures. Also makes for a fun Stamp Camp project.

Monday Montage

                                                                                      Good evening!  Welcome back to the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop!  There are lots of beautiful projects to share so please join us for the entire hop!  Use the back/next buttons at the bottom of this post to navigate through the hop.

The project I created to share today is a Fall card.    It seems that in the Fall we tend to express what we are Thankful for more than any other time of the year. Why not express your gratitude with this beautiful card?

Even though the Fall season is not one of my favorites (I LOVE the hot weather), I sure do love creating cards and other projects for this special season.  I love to see the leaves change colors and the scenery change as it does throughout the seasons. Thankfully Stampin' Up! has an amazing Autumn Accents Bigz Die so we can make beautiful leaves for any occasion!

Have a great Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Card Stock:  Crumb Cake

Tools and other supplies:  Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Pool Party Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Glue Dots, SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Brayer, Very Vintage Buttons, Big Shot, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, Linen Thread, Tea Lace Paper Doilies

Build a Banner Treat Pocket

Good morning!
Today I have an adorable little treat pocket to share with you!  It's created from a Build a Banner canvas piece and a piece of coordinating card stock.  Embellish as you wish and add some ribbon to create a handle!  It's as simple as that!  I originally saw the idea on the Stampin' Up! website and figured I'd try some of my own.  I think they are cute and will make the perfect little treats for my card swap group.

The picture below shows how big the pocket is when it's open.  It's large enough to hold several fun size candy bars or other fun treats!

Have a great Saturday!

Ingredients:
Card Stock:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla
DSP:  Witches' Brew
Stamps:  Halloween Bash
Inks:  Pumpkin Pie, Black Staz-On
Tools/other supplies:  Stampin' Trimmer, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Build a Banner Kit (for the banner pieces and the stencils), Big Shot, Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies, hole punch, Sticky Strip, hot glue gun, hot glue sticks, Bone Folder, Black Chevron Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Large Oval Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Snips

Beware!

Good morning!
TGIF!  It's been a long crazy week!  I've tried my best to post what I could this week but it seems like it's not been much!  For some reason every time I go out of town it takes me forever to catch up!  Thankfully I am all caught up as of today!  Emails have all been answered but if you emailed and haven't gotten a response- please resend your message.  Sometimes my email can be funky and I don't want to leave any messages unanswered!
The card I have to share with you today- features the same layout as yesterday's card.  I wanted to show that when you change just a few elements a whole different card is created!  My card today is a Halloween card.  I used my brayer to apply Versamark ink on my Tea Lace Paper Doilie.  Then I sprinkled Black Embossing Powder onto the doilie and heated it up.  The result is what you see on the card!  LOVE IT!

Happy Birthday to you!

Good morning!
Today I have a card to share with you.  I created it using the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I've actually had this embossing folder since the new catalog was released this past June. I'm not sure why I haven't used it until now but I can honestly say- I love it!  Especially when it's used with the Core'dinations card stock.  LOVE the sanded look!

I also LOVE this particular layout.  It's very versatile and can be used for many different occasions which in turn give the card a different look.  I think I'll make a Halloween card in this same layout to show you what I mean!

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stampin'!
