Christmas Door and Wreath Tutorial

Hi Ladies,

Im here today to share a quick Christmas card to make if you haven't started or finished them yet this year! Like me!!! lol...I have seen these around some sites and well this is my version of how to make these fabulous, fast christmas doors with wreaths.

First, I cut 2 (2x2) white paper squares and 2 (2x4) white paper rectangles for my standard white

5 x 6 1/2 card that can be bought in bulk at your local Michael's store..pks of 50 for 10.00....or if you have a coupon even better! I then distressed the squares to give it a bit dimension.

Secondly, the most important part is to have a branch punch. It is approximately 1 1/4 inches. You can use any clear glue and cut out a circle 2 1/2 inches. Punch out several pieces on branches in green cardstock.

Thirdly, you just layer the branches back and forth in and out of the circle till you go all the way around.

Lastly, you glue down the white panels of the door and using pop dots behind the wreath to give it more dimension. Fluff up the branches and add embellishments. I added a old bell, red ribbon, flower soft and a brad for the door knob. EASY and It really looks like you put a lot of work into this....should take about 30-45 minutes to make :)
Hope you enjoyed!

"Poinsettia Vintage Christmas" Card

Hi

Im back with a new card before I start my new DT work again. I bought this branch punch yesterday at the convention...it is just like the old MS branch punch...except I have 2 different sizes in the branches....I tried to buy that old punch from MS and well it is really hard to find....i did find one spot but then a few days later I received an email refunding my money bc they couldnt provide it any longer? Im so glad I found it yesterday to make all these beautiful branches...you will be seeing it a lot more soon! This paper is from an old SCRAP THAT kit! I thought it was perfect for a vintage christmas card.

Here is a close up of those amazing branches! Love them!
Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Ideas...Creating Keepsakes October 2011 Issue

Hello,

Today Im sharing with you my layout that was a bit revised for the Creating Keepsakes October 2011 Issue....I had it up for a while at sb.com last year and I loved it so much I thought I would try to send it to CK...to my surprise...they loved it too! I added a few more bitten hearts with journaling...for the actual submission.

This photo is of my daughter and a friend of hers....he has those snake bites and with that creepy look he had...it looked like one of those "Bitten" movies....lol

The tombstones are made from kraft paper and the whole tutorial can be seen at

Creating Keepsakes Magical Halloween Layout Ideas. I also added blingy bats, MS Halloween punch and papers, and cobweb to give this layout a super creepy and yet a romantic look

Im so super excited to finally share this again with you all!

Baby Girl Diaper Cake

Hi ladies,

I wanted to share with you my FIRST diaper cake that I made for my friend's baby shower last week. She is having a girl and her favorite color is pink...so it worked out perfect! I can't believe that they actually charge $125.00 for something like this!! I already owned everything except the diapers...so it costed me under $18.00....lol...but if I had to buy the bear, ribbons, and flowers it would still be under $30.00 to make....I must be in the wrong business??? lol

I rolled all the diapers and placed string around them....then I added the ribbon and lace....I just cut the flowers leaving the stems and tucked them around the cake. I added ribbon around the bears neck to match the rest of the cake too. It took me about an hour to make this cake...easy peasy!!

Here is a closer view of the ribbons and pink flowers....

Here is a photo of my dear friend Julie "baby bear" and some friends at the shower.

Thanks for stopping by!

*Scrap That! November “Putting on the Glitz” Blog Hop Reveal

Welcome to the Scrap That! November "Putting on the Glitz" Reveal Blog Hop!

First stop on your “hop” is this blog, so if you are here you are in the right place! We have EIGHT BEAUTIFUL blogs for you to visit this weekend, each with some gorgeous projects created using the Scrap That! November "Putting on the Glitz" Glitz Design Vintage Blue collection of papers. So sit back, relax, take your time and enjoy!

If you have just arrived here from Karen’s blog you are in the correct place! If not, head back to the Scrap That! blog for the blog hop order and links. Today I’m going to share with you my project using the Scrap That! November “Putting on the Glitz” Kit featuring the Glitz Design Vintage Blue Paper Collection.

This first layout is yellows and whites....I love the vintage feeling of those amazing shutters by Prima! If you don't have any yet I highly recommend getting some with this amazing add-on kit...In this kit I couldn't stop layering and layering...it has to be my newest favorite kit! I added doilies from a prior Scrap That kit and white lace. This is my Roxy again....she was going through a fad of wearing this yellow ASU jacket like everyday....It was the perfect color photo for this beautiful kit!

A closer view of those amazing vintage shutters...

I made the flowers with cardstock and added the beautiful prima flowers from the kit in the center. I also crimped the leaves and layered them over the swirls from Heartfelt Creations and spellbinders.

Here is my second layout, I used lots of layering of these gorgeous blues and yellows together. This layout was made with the main kit and the only thing I added was the DA music chipboard..hint...it came from another main kit from Scrap That too! I made some of the paper flowers with spellbinders roses...super easy and fun to make... This photo is of my oldest dd and her boyfriend. I RARELY get photos of them together....I think he is picture shy....lol...but the blues of their shirts was the perfect photo to use with these amazing blue vintage papers.

Here is a close-up of the prima roses and the handmade paper flowers. I took part of the feathers from one of the kit's flowers and used it as part of a fun look behind the flowers. The stickles was also from a prior Scrap That kit and as you can see every month you can add on and on from prior kits! Love it!

Here I made some hearts and layered them over each other in the blues and yellows. Here you can see the beautiful DA birdcage that comes with this month's kit. I also loved the birds that I just cut out and used some pop dots behind them....

My third layout is my adorable little niece....I have had this photo for a long time. It is a 5x7 photo of my brother's oldest daughter. She is 6 now! lol...I have been waiting for the perfect colors, papers and theme to capture the beauty of this photo....and...well, this month's kit was just that! Love the yellow flowers and vintage papers...I did add some bling, doily and a small piece of lace.

Here is a close-up of the beautiful grey flower and yellow flowers that come with the add-on kit. It truly is a beautiful flower IRL.

Finalist-Heartfelt Creations!

Im soooo happy and proud to announce that I am a new DT member for Heartfelt Creations! I cant wait to start with the new team and working with their amazing stamps! Come follow me, for there will be lots of beautiful designs coming my way with this amazing company!

Here are a few designs...made for Heartfelt Creations!

This first design I made using the "Cardinal Family Pre-cut Set" I bought it last winter at the convention in AZ and I love the cardinal not only in red, but also in blue! I also used "Bella Rose Leaves Pre-cut Set"and the "Bella Rose Die" for the divine swirls, branches and leaves.

The flowers were made with the "Posy Patch Die" and it is super fast and easy to make these flowers. I also used my tutorial for the "faux envelopes" in white and I added pearls to them.

Here is a close-up the the cardinal and gorgeous leaves and flowers!

For this card, I used the "Bold Bella Rose Pre-Cut Set" and the "Bella Rose Die" I love that you can use roses even for the fall and it still looks beautiful! I added some ribbon and bling to complete this card.

Here is a side view of the fall card....as you can see it is layered and uses some of my fav pop dots...

Hope to see you visit me over at Heartfelt Creations!
