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,

In My Heart: An Altered Mini Folio for Valentine:s Day

Hello everyone, Kim. here today to share a fun project with your for Valentine's Day featuring some of the products from ScraPerfect.  My concept was to create something pretty to hold a love letter written for your sweetie on the day that celebrates love.  Here is what I came up with:

I started by cutting down a printed folder and used the Best Glue Ever to adhere all of my embellishments to the folio.  It worked well on the ribbon, metal bow, and white dangle lace.

I always have a No Clog Writing Cap on my glue for extra precision.  A little goes a long way and I suggest making small dots and waiting about 5 minutes until they turn clear before adding your embellishment.  I also added a chipboard quote to the top of my folio, some bling,  and a charm.  I added a fabric button to the center of my metal bow as well.  I felt that this folio would be perfect to hold a love letter that you write for that special someone on Valentine's Day!

As always, when finishing a project, I give my hands a couple of squirts of the Best Cleaner Ever to get any mess off quickly.  It's non toxic and works on anything you can think of!

Thank you all for stopping by today to check out my mini folio called In My Heart.  Please be sure to go visit ScraPerfect to get your own products for your craft desk.  Subscribe to the blog too while you are there please.  To see more of my work, my blog is Vintage Rose Creations by Kim.  I hope you will try a mini folio and write your sweetheart a love letter to go in it for Valentine's Day too!

Until Next Time,
