Enjoy Layout

Hello!  I am excited to share that I'm joining Cottage Cutz as their guest designer for the next 2 months. For those that are not familiar with Cottage Cutz, they have a lot of amazing products and I'm a huge fan of their dies.  You can check out the wonderful selection of products in their shop.  For my project, I was inspired to create a single, 12x12 layout page.

I used the patterned paper as the inspiration for the colors of my die cuts.  The Pumpkin Pie & Latte dies were pieced together and placed on a Stitched Circle.  I added a fun sentiment from the Fall Phrases die set.  Grouping the die cuts together with a sentiment created a fun and interesting element on this layout page.

A couple of decorative tags were tucked in behind the photo mat.  The tags were cut from the Mail Tag set and are perfect for journaling.  A couple of leaves were added to each of the tags as a decorative element.

A bit of Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine was tied to each of the tags as a cheery accent for each of the tags.

Here are the Cottage Cutz dies used on my project:

Halloween Treat Box

Hello!  Today I have a fun Halloween project to share.  I created this treat box with the Art-C Gable Box die & stamp set.  The papers are from the Momenta "All Through the Year" paper pad.  I fussy cut the Halloween scene from the same paper pad and adhered it to the treat box.  The whimsical pumpkin is way too cute.

I used the some Glue Dots Permanent Adhesive Tape to hold the treat box together.  A Glue Dot was used to attach the Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine bow.

Love Layout

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a super bright and cheery layout created with the DCWV Glam Rhinestone Stack.  I needed bold colors to compliment my picture so these papers worked perfectly.  The yellow patterned paper and yellow tag are from the Recollections Spelendiferous paper pad.

I did a lot of fussy cutting of the flowers on my layout and popped several of the flowers on foam pop dots for added dimension.  I also die cut several smaller flowers to incorporate into my floral frame.  I used lots of bling amongst the flowers.  Some Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine was added to the photo mat.  The "love" and "smile" sentiments are from the same paper pads.

Everything's Going Awesome Layout

Hello! I was inspired by the DCWV challenge on their Facebook page to create this layout page.  I took the card sketch and changed it to a layout page.  The papers are from the DCWV Floral Paradise stack. The tropical papers and colors are so gorgeous in this stack.

I simply added a few die cut embellishments to my layout page.  Some Grape Licorice Trendy Twine was the perfect accent color.  A few sprinkled sequins coordinated with the gold in the background of my layout page.

Hello

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a card created with the Momenta Floral Hello Stamp and Punch Set. I loved the pretty flowers in this set so I opted to only use the stamps for my card.  I stamped and layered the flowers to create the base of my card.

I didn't want to detract from the pretty background so I stamped the "hello" sentiment on the die cut banner.  A bit of Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine was added to the edge of my card as a finishing accent.

The onesie was accented with some Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine.  I outlined the collar, sleeves and heart with the twine.  A die cut "congrats" from Momenta and a few punched flowers were added to my card.  A bit of bling was the finishing accent.

Butterfly Card

Happy Monday!  I was completely inspired to create a card by the current mood board over at SumMore Fun.

The beautiful color combination in the butterflies had me working with my Oxide Inks in no time.  I used several colors to create the background and layered it with the Momenta Intricate Flower die.

Next I reached for the Butterfly Stamp from Victorine Originals and used the background colors to ink up the butterfly.  I fussy cut around it and adhered it to my card with Glue Dots.  A few pearls stickers were added to the center of the butterfly.  A bit of Totally White Trendy Twine finished off my card.

Celebrate Card

Hello!  Today I have a patriotic card to share which is also perfect for a summer birthday card.  I used the Art-C Mason Jar Die & Stamp Combo and heat embossed the mason jar on vellum.  Next, I die cut the mason jar in the embossed vellum and another layer in white card stock.  A few of the stars were adhered between the vellum and card stock layers using Mini Glue Dots.

The stars were die cut from the Momenta Happy Birthday Cut and Emboss set and adhered on the mason jar and on the base of my card.  I added some sequins for a sparkly accent and a bit of Cranberry Trendy Twine. The finishing touch was the sentiment which was die cut from the Momenta Hello Word Fetti die set.

Giggle Laugh Layout

Hello!  Today I have a layout page to share which may look a bit familiar to this one.  I ended up creating a second page since I loved these papers so much.  They are from the DCWV Minty Lace Stack and I just love the color combination even though it's a departure from my normal bright and cheery color combinations.

The adorable "Giggle, Laugh" was perfect for tucking under the photo mats.  I accented both of my tags with a bit of Black Licorice Trendy Twine.  A couple of paper flowers, a die cut arrow and some washi tape were used as embellishments.

Grad Card

Happy Monday!  It seems as if one of my kids has been graduating every year and this year it's my son's turn to graduate from community college.  To celebrate his special day I created a fun card for him.

I gathered my supplies for my project and decided to create a tea length card to accommodate the oversized letters.

All of the dies used on my card are from Momenta.  I used the Alphabet Uppercase Serif dies for the large letters which were cut twice and layered.  I used the Glue Dots Stitch Glue Squares between the layers to easily adhere them together.  The Stitch Glue Squares were also used to adhere the letters to the card.  I used the Glue Dots Adhesive Gluetape to adhere the patterned paper to the base of my card.

The congrats die cut is from the Momenta Hello Word Fetti dies and the stars are from the Momenta Happy Birthday Cut and Emboss set.  I used some Twisted Lime Trendy Twine to create a tassel and a small brad to turn a basic square into a graduation cap.

Celebrate Layout

Hello! I was able to hide out in my craft room recently to work on an album for a wedding gift.  I will be sharing a few page from the album over the next couple of weeks.  Since I am working on an entire album I went with an 8x8 size in a neutral theme.

For the cover page of the album, I used the DCWV Everlasting Love stack for the papers, Momenta Wedding theme stickers, a couple of Momenta dies, Trendy Twine and some amazing Glue Dots products.

I had the opportunity to try out the Glue Dots Pop Up Dots which may now be my most favorite Glue Dots product.  I have always loved the Glue Dots Adhesive Tape for its strength and adherence but the Pop Up Dots provide the perfect dimension.  I love that they are clear.  I simply added some baby powder to the back of the Momenta Wedding Stickers and added the Pop Up Dots for dimension.

I tucked in a gorgeous doily behind the photo mat.  The celebrate sentiment is from the Momenta Hello Word Fetti dies.  The Glue Dots Adhesive tape was used to adhere everything in place. The finishing accent was a bit of Midnight Trendy Twine on the photo mat.

Happy Day Tags

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a set of yummy tags created with the new Momenta Junk Food Cutting Template.  I must admit ice cream is one of my favorites so I was immediately inspired to use this fun die.

I used the Art-C Adhesive Stencil along with some Oxide Inks to create the background of my tag.  Next I used the Art-C Love, Hello, Thanks Die & Stamp Combo for the sentiment and tag.  The ice cream cones were popped up on foam dots for added dimension.  I finished off my tags with some Black Licorice Trendy Twine.

Hello! Today I have another layout page to share which was created with the DCWV Rose Quartz stack. This 12x12 page is essentially my second page to another layout I had created.  I am loving the subtle colors in this stack and have used it for a few projects.

I used several different dies to cut out the various flowers, tags, banners and doily for my layout page.   The photo corners were punched with a Fiskars punch.  The arrow word title is a SVG file which was cut with my Cricut Explore.  A few scattered sequins and a bit of Totally White Trendy Twine were the finishing touches on my layout page.

Hello Darling Layout

Hello crafty friends, today I'm playing along with the DCWV Stack-a-holic challenge over on their Facebook page.  When I saw the sketch I was completely inspired to whip out a layout page.  I used the DCWV Hello Darlin' stack to create my 12x12 page.  I just love the adorable designs in this stack. It's definitely one of the stacks I've been hoarding.

I changed up the sketch just a bit to use the cut out tag for the title of my page.  I also fussy cut the typewriter and tiny envelopes and added them on some pop dots for dimension.  All of the flags were hand cut and layered with some punched flowers using 2 different Fiskars punches.  I accented my photo mat with a bit of Totally Lemon Trendy Twine.
