Friends Card

Kristina — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:49:06 +0000

I was playing around with the Vintage Vogue stamp set from the new Occasions Mini Catalogue and this is a card I came up with. I love this stamp set! I used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder for my background. The "F", the flower and the greeting are all heat embossed in Very Vanilla. The center of the flower has a small vanilla grommet in the middle. I then filled the center with Crystal Effects & of course, Dazzling Diamonds glitter!

Card/Technique Club

Here is another card that we did at the card/technique club. This was a fun card, especially with the colours. This is a complete copy of a birthday card I received from one the demonstrators in my downline. I absolutely love this card! And so did the girls at the club. One of my favourite things to do is using the Big Shot, especially the embossing folders!

Scrapbook Club Project

Kristina — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:28:23 +0000

Tonight is my scrapbooking club night and this is the layout they will be making. I thought I would share it with you – thank you to Kimberly Van Diepen for the inspiration! We meet once a month, to make a double page 12 x 12 layout. The dark blue cardstock is where the pictures are "supposed" to be. I used Night of Navy cardstock with Bashful Blue layered over top as the actual page. You probably can't see it, but I used Serene Snowflakes in white craft ink as a background on the Bashful Blue. I absolutely LOVE the Big Shot and punches! I've used the Billboard letters die, Top Note die and the Snowflake #2 die for the Big Shot. For the snowman, I used the Scallop Square, Word Window, Photo Corners, 1/8" circle, 1 3/4" circle, 1 3/8" circle and 1 1/4" circle punches. The smaller snowflakes are from the Snowflake punch. To make the snow, I used the Cutter Kit to make "waves" on the Vellum cardstock, then used 2 way glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to "sparkle" it up.

I’m Blogging!

Kristina — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:37:07 +0000

Yaaa! I’ve joined the blogging world! A couple of days ago I received my order from the Spring 2009 catalogue and haven’t slept much since! This new catalogue has got to be one of my favourites! I thought I would share one of the cards I made with you. This will be one of the projects at my upcoming Big Shot club this month. I used the Movers & Shakers die as well as the new Sticky Pages. I cut a piece of the sticky page and ran it through the Big Shot with one of the letter dies and then covered it with glitter. I’ve also put up some Decor Elements that I will share with you in another post.
