DCWV July Stackaholic Challenge

Good morning!  It is that time again...DCWV's Stackaholic challenge!  Every month there is a new sketch for a card and a layout for fans to participate with for a chance to win amazing paper stacks!

This is the card sketch for July:

And here is the card I created based on that sketch:

I used the Sunday Afternoon paper stack and the Sunday Afternoon tag stack for that cute typewriter panel.  I added glossy accents to the hearts and typewriter keys for extra dimension.  The ribbons I used are from May Arts.

For those of you who love creating scrapbook layouts, here is your sketch!

You have the whole month of July to create.  All the details can be found on the DCWV blog.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Patriotic Top Hat Centerpiece

Hello crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog, and here is what I created for you...a patriotic top hat centerpiece!

 The files I used are from SVG Attic's PSD Stars and Stripes kit.  Don't you just love those star rosettes?!  The papers I used are from DCWV's Seaside Yacht stack.

 I used Totally White Trendy Twine and May Arts ribbons as well as wooden buttons and homemade enamel dots for embellishments.

 The star branches that you see behind the star rosettes are some that I had in my stash :)

I hope you all have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Twine ~ Father's Day Toolbox

Today a some of my Trendy Twine sisters and I have Father's Day projects up on the Trendy Twine blog. Stop over there for even more inspiration!  Here is what I created for the occasion.

I started out with a Small Kraft Gable Box and cut along the perforated lines underneath the handle part.  I kept the handle parts and then adhered the two trimmed flaps into the inside of the box.  I stamped the Wood Grain Stamp from Unity all over the folded box.  Once I assembled the box, I hot glued the handle in place so it would stay where it needed to be!

For the sentiment, I used a Kraft Tag with Metal Rim and tied it on the toolbox with Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.  I also used the same twine to wrap around the toolbox for extra visual interest. The brads that looked like screws were a great addition as well.  I filled the toolbox with kraft shred and tools that I had cut out from SVG Attic's PSD Toolbox Kit.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Trendy Twine~Gift Card Holder

Good morning friends! Today is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog.  Today I have a fun gift card bag project to share with you.

I started out by using Perfect Pairs Planner Stamps and You & Me Planner Stamps to stamp on the Small Glassine Bag.  Those bags hold gift cards perfectly!  I added some washi tape and a few Autumn Sequins to dress the bag up and add a little color.

For the bag topper, I wrapped Totally Black Trendy Twine around it multiple times and added a bow of Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine.  The hearts along the top of are stamped from the You & Me Planner Stamps.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
