Just Because with TPD

Hello my dear friends and welcome to my last Two Paper Divas post for October.

Hope: book cover with Tando and FWAB

Hello my dear crafty friends! Today I am going to share my new book cover and it's totally gorgeous NEW chipboard kit you Must buy! I had so much fun making this project!

First of all I connected 2 chipboards with some sticky tape (I had binding red tape, but who cares as it's not seen after all). Then I covered it with vintage style Prima papers and made the spine with Core' dinations embossable cardstock, distressed to see the same pink as on the paper.

I heat embossed it all around with black embossing powder and used the same powder for the scalloped square in the middle.
Then I added some Tando minis: leaves and flowers , all hear embossed with a mix of powders over this square.

The title was made with Tando letters (OK,heat embossed again... LOL. I also design for embossing powders company, so those are products in hands and I used them a lot).
The smaller parts of the lit were paper covered, distressed and inked and bolts were ... heat embossed with black again.
Then I added some Prima flowers and blings and my cover was finished.
I hope that you love Tando new book covers as much as I do.

Sweet Stamps challenge #118: Anything goes

Hello dear crafty friends! Today is our Anything goes challenge with Sweet Stamps and we are going to show you Sweet Stamps new DIES!
We have 20!! new dies in  this month bundle and you can buy them all with 25% discount as the whole release or just whatever dies you like.
YES, we have our own dies in Sweet Stamps shop!

So as most of those dies are nature and flowers, I made this  flowers card with my favorite color combo: brown, pink and green.

I used American Crafts cardstock as my base and this was my first time to use Cheery Lynn Card makers Rectangle Dies A2  too  and I am very glad I have them finally in my stash.
Then I used 10  different  new dies; Betty's Bloom SweetCuts, Mini Medallion, Pretty Petals,Mini Flower (2 dies),Flutterby #2 (2 dies), Fancy Leaf and 2 of 3 dies from Flower Trio.    Some were cut from Core' dinations Brownie cardstock and some from green leftovers of DCWV. Then I die cut a rectangle from double sided glue sheet,  arranged all my die cuts and added Sweet Stamps Micro Fine Gloden Glitz glitter over the glue. Bingo! It's so delicate and light glittery and so much add on to the plain cardstock I used.
Same glitter was added over the Butterfly  wings (Prima cardstock leftover, really a small piece that had the right colors).
2 more small dies cut flowers were added over my title strip on the bottom of my card and I also added some glitter over Glossy Accents.
I stamped HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY sentiment with Sweet Stamps Brownie Shades ink  spot and added a piece of thin trim between the parts of my card.
My last touch was faux white pen stitching with Uniball and a lot of pearls and rhinestones added over my die cut flowers.

Now it's your turn. Play with our Anything goes challenge with any stamps or products and you can win a nice prize!

One day in May

I made some free time and decided to make a page for some web challenges.  I made it for  Berry 71 Bleu sketch (sides switched) with chipboards, Artastic use masks, Molding paste for Show us your staff and  lot of flowers for Get Creative challenge .That's it. So here is my new lo with my adorable  2 years old grandson.
 

It's  what I call " light Mixed Media " project: some gesso and masks (Tando Creative), some paints, not a lot as I wanted my photos to stay the star of this lo. Some die cuts (words and cages from Die- Versions, tags and tabs from Sizzix). Home misted  flowers (Prima white to blue), some washi tape. Painted May  word in the title, light hand written journaling. And one stamped sentiment from Paper wing stamps I won and just got.

Inspired by Stamping January 24 Inspiration challenge

My January 24 Inspired by Stamping challenge inspiration card.

Ribbons and twine are from Really Reasonable Ribbons shop.

Play with Inspired by Stamping challenge and you can win some lovely goodies to craft with!

My Life's Journey

This lo was published in October 2012 issue of Scrap 365 UK print magazine and was in the content page too as a promo to All about me gallery. I am really thrilled to have  my own photo in a print magazine, also you can mostly see my camera. Please, read a hidden journaling- it says everything about my scrapping addiction.

The part of it  was also shown in Details page. So proud of myself for this lo: I scrapped about Me page (I am not about myself scrapper at all) and I showcased 3 of my DT at the time of scrapping this page (Wow embossing powders, Creative Inspirations Paint  and The Rubber Cafe).I also made a real journaling and even used a hidden one here (not usaual  for me at all) and as a final thing- this is pretty clean and simple page made by messy me. WTG!

Inspired by Stamping July release- final recap day

This project was published in Scrapbooking. com October 2012 issue
 Hello, my dear stamping friends! Today is Inspired by Stamping final July release recap.
I was asked to use today this yummy Yummy Food set and as we are moving to the new house in a few month, I decided   not to use this set for myself (just for now, till we move), but to make a small gift for a friend.
I used Tim Holtz Kraft envelope, embossed with his folder and embellished with  Kaisercrafts wooden shapes on the  stamped blank food label from the set.

I also made a kind of a napkin, with fabric and a metal coin as my napkin holder.
Then I made 4 food labels with Spellbinders dies and Yummy Food set.

I wanted to make more of those labels for this gift, but 4 was a maximum possible number to put into this bag. If you want to make more labels as your gift, go to some box and not an envelope.

I am sure the best way to keep them for ages is to make some lamination, but I don't have a device for it.
And a close up for the embellishment corner.

And here is all our designers blogs. Visit them and enjoy!

Family vacation

My new page , made for A2Z Scraplets June challenge: to scrap our family gatherings and things we do together. So this time I scrapped us (I and DH) with my in- laws (my sister in law and her husband) during our Georgian last summer vacation.

I scrapped on very old DCWV b/w cardstock, added some Core'dintions  embossed cardstock and colored it a bit with red gelato. Then I made a matting with 7 Gypsies set of tags in red and cream colors and added A2Z Scraplets heat embossed flowers (Wow Embossing Powders Cable Red and Black regular ones). The A2Z key was haet embossed with the same black powder and I made a title with AC foam letters. Some ribbons were added to tags and the page was  done.

At 12

My very clean and simple page  made  in this clean and simple mood after crafting a lot of shabby projects for all my DT work and this is a very first lo made just for challenges. 12 squares are punched and embossed, I added some brads for the things my DN Tamar loves- music, paint and be in time.I also made some journaling cluster with Elle's studio products on the top. Some border punches were a must to use too and that's it. Simple and frugal fun.

I enter it to some web challenges too

Happy Day card

Sometimes, not so often, I make clean and simple crafts and this is one of those times. This simple card was made for Moxie Fab " Use something from the house" challenge and I used the tooth picks. I actually made pencils from them and  it was a great add of color too as this card is a bit too Kraft.

I used Core'dintaions embossed cardstock, Spellbinders set, a chipboard and stamped sentiment and the book paper and a colored strip was Glitz.

I also made it  for Clearsnap inspiration challenge- mostly the mood and colors.

My adorable girl

 This lo was published in Ready Set Create February 2012 issue

My very new clean and simple page, sometimes I do them simple or the most possible simple for me. LOL

ABC CARD

New School year is here and some new School related projects too. This card was made with Cre'Dintaions cardstock for their Septmeber color challenge, using Maya Road chipboards, ABC one covered with glitter and an apple with Core cardstock. I also added one Eyelet Outlet Worm brad directly in the chipboard hole (this is a kind of key chain mini album used here). The background embossing was made with Tim Holtz embossing plate and I used my eyelets.. First time in  ages. Horray,I still remeber how to fix them.

Made in China lo

A year and a half after our China vacation, and I still didn't scrap a single page from this one. Don't know why. Maybe the photos are not so great- it's was freezing cold there and I just couldn't click with 2 pairs of gloves-LOL..And maybe I am just not in this oriental mood yet. But this page was done and I called it - how obvious- MADE  IN CHINA. Just for a record: this vases are the original handmade ones, very expensive too, and not what we call " chinese stash" . So here it is- non patterned paper page, Core' dinations cardstock, some gridding, some embossing, embossed oriental image, cherry blossom flowers, some real chinese coins and some stamping- not much seen, I was afraid to ruin the page after it was done
I also enter this to Pucky Scraps Get picky challenge: I have not people photo, turquise, circles- coins
and staples.. Don't have red and stitching, but n 4 of 6 should be Ok for the first time

Nature documented lo

My struggle to scrap in clean and simple style.. Cosmo Cricket sketch and products with Core'dintaions cardstock- CC line too. I used some real wood there and some cork letters to highlight the nature point of this page. The photos of those not so cute critures are perfect for my sub title- Somtimes not so cute...I also used the letters negatives for the " don't have " reasons, and I love it
