Simply Create Too Anything Goes Challenge

Hello everyone!  I am here today with a project share for a card challenge blog that I design for.  You can subscribe to the blog so you can play along at Simply Create Too.  This month the theme was anything goes, so I had the freedom to design whatever I wanted.  Here is the card I created:

I have always loved roses and hadn't used the Vintage Rose paper pad by Stamperia in a while, so I decided to use this gorgeous collection.  I used a pink card stock for my card and then added layers from the paper,  I swiped all of the papers with the tattered Rose Distress Oxide pad by Tim Holtz and then heat set it.  A pink clay handmade rose was added as the focal point in the center of my card, which I colored a pale pink with a mica eyeshadow.  It is flanked by white irridescent sequins.  Two beaded bridal appliques were secured to the corners of my card with Fabri Tac.  I fussy cut two tags from the Vintage Rose paper pad and then punched holes in them with my Crop-A-Dile.  I tied a loose bow with some pink chiffon fabric and added it to my card.  Then, I added a charm and both tags to a silver garment pin and pinned it through my bow.  Next to that I added a silver metal rose button.  White fringe trim was added to both tags, and crystal stickles by Dove craft from White Rose Crafts were added to all of the roses on my card for a great sparkle.

I love the way it came out and could see it as a Mother's Day card or a card for a friend that loves roses as much as I do.  I hope you like what I created and will follow along or play along in this months challenge for Simply Create Too.  I will be back again in June for the next challenge.

See You Then,

A New Year with ScraPerfect!

Hi everyone, Kim. here  today to wish you all a Happy New Year and share my latest project for ScraPerfect.  I created a simple card for New Year's that I am excited to share with you, please take a look at the completed project:

 I began with a blank card base, and added some tea dyed vintage paper with the

Best Glue Ever with a No Clog Writing Cap attached for precision  Remember, a little goes a long way and the bond is amazing! I swiped that and the edges with some Tim Holz distress inks from my stash and then fussy cut the images I selected.  I embellished the images with stickles and added some bling that I placed with  Embellie Gellie and secured with the Best Glue Ever. Continuing with my layering, I added a vintage doily lightly swiped with lavender ink, a number one, a ribbon bow, and some ephemera and a Tim Holz chipboard quote from my stash.

As always, when finishing a project, I give my hands a few squirts of the Best Cleaner Ever and use a paper towel to get the ink and adhesives off.  I love it since it is non toxic.  This project was fun and quick to make and I'm sure would make the recipient happy to open. Here is a closer look at some of the details I added to my card:

Time saved and ease of creativity were possible because of the products from ScraPerfect.  Thank you so much for stopping by, please take a moment to subscribe to this blog and follow us on social media.  I wish you all a safe and blessed New Year!

Until Next Time,

Winter Woodland Card

I am here today excited to share a wintery project with all of you.  It is really hot here in the South, so dreaming about cooler temperatures and snow, inspired me to make this card.  This creation came together in no time with the amazing products from ScraPerfect, I hope you like it!

I started out with a craft paper card and used the Best Glue Ever to adhere some striped craft wrapping paper as part of the background.  Then I used glue dots in the center of some burlap (where I knew it would be covered) made from the Best Glue Ever.  Distress ink was swiped around all four edges of the card too.

I wanted to use a wonderful piece of chipboard from my stash for this project, but wanted to give it some extra dimension so decided to heat emboss it.  I went over the chipboard with the Perfect Crafting Pouch, tapping lightly. This works great to prevent static and embossing powder ending up where you don't want it.
After embossing, I turned the chipboard over and applied tiny, thin lines of the Best Glue Ever before securing it on the center of me card.  The Best Glue Ever, combined with the No Clog Writing Cap, was the only adhesive that would get this job done because of how skinny the birch trees are.

Snow paste was added to various parts of the trees with a small brush and left to dry.  I then got out my glitter and the Best Glue Ever and went to town.  I painted a thin coat of glue on another piece of chipboard with a brush, waited about 2 minutes for it to cure, and then covered it with glitter. I also added some snow and glitter to the moose wood piece that I added to the die cut.

I finished off the sentiment chipboard piece by adhering a piece of white ribbon across it with the
Best Glue Ever.  Then I added another smaller matching piece of chipboard that was also heat embossed and glued down the words "embrace the journey" with the Best Glue Ever.

I love the way  this card evoked memories of snowy winters spent up North in my childhood.  I had fun making this and the ScraPerfect family of products made it possible!

Creative Colors Challenge #26

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  I am coming to you today to share my latest card for the Creative Colors Card Challenge.  We would love for you to play along with us, here is where to find it:
Creative Colors Challenge

As this challenge is the last for the year, our palette consists of holiday colors.  We had to use vintage green, deep red, white, and add glitter.  Here is the inspiration photo for our color palette:

Our sponsor for this challenge is DRS Designs and I picked a very pretty digi of a berry wreath.

Here is my card:

I layered printed card stock from The Paper Studio, 2 of the same Sissix die, white paper doilies, and then  two of the images from DRS Designs.  One was adhered directly to the card and the second was put on top of it with foam tape for dimension.  I colored some of the berries deep red and then added red stickles from my personal stash on top of them.  I used glossy accents on some of the berries and used Barbara Trombley's Ultra Fine Glitter #26 Angel Dust on top of those.  I added 2 small pieces of white lace in the corners and added white resin snowflakes on top of them. I glued white braided trim around all four corners and sprayed that with Tattered Angels Caper Green Glimmer Mist.  I made the bow with hunter green gross grain ribbon, a piece of lace that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Medallion, some ivory seam binding that was also sprayed, and a twig with white berries. I added 2 red buttons and three pieces of snowflake rhinestone and pearl bling to the underside of the bow.  The flowers are from the Secret Garden and were white, I painted them with Radiant Pearls Crimson Nights, added glitter when they were wet.  When dry, I sprayed them with Tattered Angels Barn Red Glimmer Mist.

I hope you enjoy my creation, please feel free to leave me a comment.  I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season!  Thank you all for the support you have shown me, and I look forward to sharing more with you from the Creative Colors Challenge in January!

Your CCC Designer,
Kim Norman
