Yesterday, I was invited to participate in a sketch challenge at Paper Play Sketches. Normally, I am not a huge sketch fan, but this one I really liked, so I decided to have a go at it! Here is what I created...
I am in all-out Halloween mode right now, so be prepared to see LOTS of Halloween cards! This one started with a white DCWV card base and all the papers are from DCWV's Spooky Night mini stack. The stamp is from Unity stamps (it was a gift from Kim at Craftisan Studios) and I used Lime Licorice Trendy Twine on it as well. The Black pearls are from Oriental Trading.
And here is the sketch I followed! I think I did a pretty good job sticking to it ;)
A couple of weeks ago, I stopped by Kristie's blog and was totally inspired by a sketch that she had created with. I knew I wanted to create with it, so I dug out some papers and got started!
The patterned papers are all from DCWV's Fiesta Forever stack. The stamp is from a retired My Craft Spot stamp set. I embellished the card with a button and some In The Navy Trendy Twine.
The sentiment panel is popped up with thin foam tape for extra dimension.
Good morning! Today is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog and this month we are featuring Lemon Peppermint Trendy Twine. Since fall is here, I went with a harvest theme for my project!
I started with a 3x3x3 kraft box and added papers from G45's Home Sweet Home stack, which was a gift from my sweet friend, Cyndy! I decorated the front with a panel from the paper stack and added sequins from the Autumn Sequin Mix.
Hello friends! Beth from the DCWV Social Media Design Team here. Halloween will be here before we know it, so I took a little time to start on projects for that holiday.
First up, I used the Spooky Night 6x6" stack and my envelope punch board to make these treat envelopes. Using the 6x6 paper, punch and score at 2 5/8" on the envelope punch board. Then rotating your paper 90 degrees, line up the score line with the guide line, punch and score again, and continue that around the whole paper. You will end up with these cute holders that fit a fun size M&M package perfectly!
For the spider web witch hat, I used the Hats, Cats, & Bats stack. That stack is already pre die cut, so making this hat was a breeze! No die cutting tools needed! I used some Grape Fizz Trendy Twine at the top of the hat to suspend my spider and attach more of the fun charms and a tassel all from Blue Moon Beads (available in Joann Fabrics stores).
Want to see what is in the stacks that I used? Here are flip through videos of them!
Good morning all! Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog. Fall will be here in just a couple of days, so I created this fall decor to share with you.
For the apple basket, I used the file from JGW Fall Ensemble. There is a great tutorial HERE to help with assembly. Papers are from DCWV's Pumpkin Patch stack. I added a small bow of Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to the front.
Hello all! Today is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog. I am showcasing the Happy Halloween Stamp Set. The different sentiments and fonts on that set are so much FUN!
Around the outside, I wrapped a 1" strip of patterned paper (DCWV's Eek A Boo stack), once again adhering it with Glue Dots. Then I took a bat charm from Blue Moon Beads and used Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to tie it to the front of the box.
Hello all! Today I am sharing my very first card tutorial video with you! Yes. I finally got up the courage to do that! Why? Because this card I made was a design that I came up with myself. Of course, the curtain fold concept has been around for a while, but I couldn't find any that turned out *exactly* how I wanted them to. So, I came up with my own! Here is the video with step by step instructions:

Hello friends! Beth from the DCWV Social Media Design Team here. I had to share these super sweet favor boxes that I whipped up in no time with DCWV's new DIY Project Stack: Favor Boxes (available at Michaels stores). I really had so much fun creating these! I decorated all of these boxes with elements that are found in the DIY Project Stack: Favor Boxes and the DIY Project Stack: Tags (also available at Michaels).
These are the largest boxes that are in that stack. They are in gold and coral with gold dots.
Hello crafty friends! One of DCWV's new DIY stacks at Michaels is Pop-Up Cards. I have always been a fan of those, but have never made one because I thought they would be difficult to figure out. Guess what...that stack makes pop-up cards SO easy! Here are three that I created in just a short amount of time.
This flower is so pretty, isn't it?
And these birds look like they are flying off of a tree branch.
There are even some simple word pop ups in this stack! All pre-cut and ready to go. All you have to do is punch out the pieces and assemble! Easy peasy!
Here is a peek at the fronts of the cards. I love that they are understated to really allow for the WOW factor when the card is opened.
So if you are like me, and are intimidated by pop-up cards, don't let that stop you anymore! Head on over to your local Michaels store and pick this stack up!
Here is a flip through video that I made of that stack:
