CAS- ual Fridays Vintage card

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new CAS- ual Fridays post.

Today I am going to share a small tutorial of a card made with one single CAS- ual Fridays  Be stamp set.

I try to make different cards and this time I am back to my beloved vintage style and made this card using BoBunny vintage collection as the base of my card and stamped the front with one of my most loved CAS- ual Fridays stamp sets called BE.

First I made the collaged background using patterned paper cuts only and arranging them in this vintage one over another kind of a mess.

Then I die cut a white cardstock piece and stamped one of the sentiments using black pigmented ink and clear embossing powder. I also added a couple of small stamped butterflies from the same stamp set.

Here is the stamp set used for this card.:

BE

And here are  some close- ups to this card:

 See how easy it is to make the great vintage card with just one great CAS- ual Fridays stamp set.

 Hope that you like my  card and you still have time to buy yourself these gorgeous stamps from CAS- ual Fridays shop and even to use our  discounts.

See you in two weeks with another lovely card made with CAS- ual Fridays products.

Christmas gift card holder and bookmark with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit from Irit Shalom Designs is here today with my second project made with the most adorable and newest Yuletide Carol collection.

This is a totally traditional Christmas collection- colors, designs and sayings .

 So I decided to make the totally traditional Christmas Gift card holder/card and to add a lovely interactive bookmark made with the same collection.

 As you can see the gift card holder is a standing card and the bookmark is made with the frame and inside moving piece.
I made the front with book shaped dies using different cardstocks and added distressing to the edges as this is a pretty much vintage collection.
The book pages were glued one over another and then embellished with Combo stickers, Layered chipboard, jewels and a couple of BoBunny dies were used to add the interest to this project.

 Here you can see all layers of this project when closed:

 And this is the " step" that holds this piece standing: made with cardstock, die cuts, stickers and BoBunny die cut sentiment arranged in 5 layers as a " chipboard" piece.

 The inside tag is glued on the top and on the bottom , so you can put your cash or your gift card under the tag.

 And here is the book mark- the " Joy" part can be used as a separate bookmark too.

BoBunny Christmas interactive card

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I welcome you to my first Christmas in August post.
I know that Christmas is still far away, but new BoBunny adorable Christmas collections are here and now and this is a time to share our new Christmas projects with you all.
So today I made an interactive and very fancy card  there and I used this Christmas in the Village collection and I am really in love with  this collections lovely graphics and non- traditional Christmas colors.
My card this time has no Mixed Media add- ons and it's easy to make and fits each and every crafter.
This is how it looks when standing as a regular card:

 But wait- you are going to be amazed!
Let's open the topper :

 And now it's full opened!

Usually this kind of a card is made without  all bottom layers; the pop- up part is the actual card where you write the greetings.
I made it in a bit more layered style: the pop- up part is just the card topper/front and then there are a few more cardstock layers and the actual light blue card where you add your greetings/sentiments/ thoughts or whatever you wish.
 So here you can see all the layers on this standing card:

And if you want to try to make this  kind of card- HERE is a video tutorial for you to use.
Just a word about it: in the video the final part was mis- glued upside down and there were no way to change it in the video. But the final project was re- done and the pop- up part is glued in the correct direction.
As the video is mostly to teach the mechanism of this card  the inside ornaments direction is not the issue and you can see the finished re- done project without any mistakes.

Product list:

Christmas in the Village 12'' cardstock Ornaments, Countdown
Chriastmas in the Village Combo Stickers
Christmas in the Village Layered Chipboards
Christmas in the Village Noteworthy die cuts
Double Dot Powder blue Damask 12'' cardstock

I really hope that you like my card and my tutorial and see you in a week with more delicious BoBunny Christmas projects!

Christmas Artistic Trading Coins with BoBunny

 Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit from Irit Shalom Designs is here today with my first project made with the most adorable and newest Yuletide Carol collection.

This is a totally traditional Christmas collection- colors, designs and sayings .

But I decided to make totally new and not so traditional Artistic Trading Coins set.

 Let me explain you a bit about Artistic Trading coins first.
Most of us met and made ATC- Artistic Trading Cards- the small cards that fit the baseball cards plastic pockets.
Some of us even made Artistic Trading Cubes- 3'' cubes embellished from all 4 sides and on the top that can be folded and mailed in the envelope.
Artistic Trading Coins are the new thing that became trendy  during last few months and actually it's 2.5'' cardstock/chipboard/paper/ wooden circle that is pretty flat as we need to swap them and to mail them inside the envelope.
So here are my take of this new trend using this adorable Christmas collection.
I made 6 coins in the same colors and in the same designs.
Each and every " coin" has two cardstock circle layers and then Combo stickers, layered chipboards and Noteworthy die cuts from the very same collections were added on the top.
Some of the coins were embellished with BoBunny die cut from dies, brads, jewels or buttons.
Yet they are still very flat and you can mail them inside the regular envelope.
The first one here has a die cut candle, die cut cardstock layer and some jewels one it.

The second coin was embellished with gold heat embossed wooden shapes, Noteworthy die cuts and jewels.

This coin was covered with Gold glitter paste on the edges.

 The next one has a die cut layer made from the collection cardstock.

The next one is very similar to the second piece, but still totally different.

 The last one is the fanciest one as there are heart die cut, stickers, brad and even button on it.

 And if swaps are not your cup of tea- just add some strings on the back of the coins and you would have 6 adorable hand made Christmas tree ornaments.

Altered cross stitching hoop : Give Thanks

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and I am going to share my Thanksgiving altered project made with totally non fall / non Thanksgiving BoBunny collection.
This week  the DT members were challenged to make Thanksgiving project. I was also challenged  to make Mantel decoration. So from the beginning there were two major problems with this project.
 First of all I didn't even know what this one was. Then I was told that this is a fireplace decor. Living in Israel  the fireplace is the least used thing in our life. So I just made a nice home decoration and took a photo over the only shelf I have in my home. Really. There is a TV screen over each and every other drawer or shelf in my house, so imagine that you have a fireplace and my decoration is a part of your fireplace space.
The second problem was that I never got any Fall or Thanksgiving paper collection.
So this Floral Spice new and most gorgeous collection was the closest to the Thanksgiving that I had and yes, it worked!

I tried to make the simple and affordable and something that any crafter can make with just one BoBunny collection without die cutting, stamping or Mixed Media add- ons.

The background was made with two pieces of cardstock; the upper  circle  edges were covered with BoBunny Gold Glitter paste.
Then some more layers were added using Combo Stickers, cardstock hand cuts, a couple of Layered chipboards etc.
Two flower clusters were made with a lot of hand cut paper flowers from one single cardstock piece and layered with American Crafts foam dots.
The circled saying was made with Thickers from another new and adorable collection- Something Splendid.
The Floral Spice  collection has it's own lovely Thickers, but the color was too dark to be seen over my decoration hoop and I decided to use gold for the brighter color.

 I added some gold glitter paste dots over the paper flowers and around the hoop.
Product list:
 BoBunny:
Floral Spice collection 12'' cardstock- Floral Spice, Owls, Intrigue, Take Flight, Memories
Floral Spice Combo Stickers
Floral Spice Layered chipboards
Something Splendid Thikers
Gold Glitter Paste

American Crafts:
Sticky thumb glue  runner
Sticky thumb adhesive foam dots

 I hope that you like my " non fireplace" altered piece!
Thanks for being here with me today and see you in a week with my first Christmas project!

CAS- usl Fridays November release-Naughty'isms stamps & Naughty Fri-Dies

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Welcome to Day 5 of our new CAS- ual Fridays Holiday release.

The new Holidays stamp and die set is just a perfect one for a gift card, gift wrapping or...

This time I made  something that is new to me and maybe very new on the web: card with a box on it.

I made the layered card with new BoBunny Holidays collection and made a hand made box to fit the square card. Then the box was embellished as a present with sticker ribbons and stamped embellishments.

 Here you can see the stamped stockings and some of the die cut sentiment.

 More close- ups for you to see:

 And here you can see that the upper layer is a box.
Actually after I glued it I thought that it can stay opened on one side and the gift card or cash can be added inside.
But ... Next time.

Naughty'isms stamps

 Naughty Fri- dies
