BBQ Party

 This week on the Imaginisce blog we are featuring the awesome I-top tool, my challenge was to create brads. 

 

 

My son's class went to a local beach for his grad party and we had a big BBQ with all the kids and the parents.  It was so much fun. 

 

 

For this layout I wanted to die cut a circle background with my Silhouette and fill all the circles with patterned paper and brads.

 

 

I cut several of the BBQ images from the patterned paper and used the I-top and Brad Daddies to create the brads, once they were set I used white paint along the borders to make them look clean.

 

I also cut out the "Party" part of the title from a die cut that said Pool Party and added the BBQ die cut instead.

 

I love the I-Top and being able to make customized brads like this is so much fun.

Hello Disney :)

This layout will be the cover page for the Disney portion of our trip to Calirornia this year.  I really loved the colors in the Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection and they were perfect for my Disney photos.

 

I used my silhouette to cut out the chevron die cut (from Dear Lizzy as well) and backed it with several different patterned papers.

 

I cut out the chevron arrows from paper and added them along the top and bottom with a chipboard heart.

 

I really loved the chipboard and die cut elements that came with this collection and the Hello die cut was perfect for a title for my cover page.

 

I love scrapping these memories from Disney - it really is my happy place :)

Cards

I love making cards with my leftover paper, usually after making a layout or mini I use what's left on my desk to make some quick cards.

The first card is a quick birthday card made with some leftover Fifth and Frolic from Dear Lizzy.  I used the chipboard typewriter and with my typewriter typed the sentiment so it looked like it was coming from the typewriter.

 

I really love the wooden buttons so I added just a few and some twine to finish off the card.

The second is a card made with some leftover paper from Imaginisce.  I decided to make a sunburst and stamp the cute little sun stamp.

 

I stamped the sun on orange paper then cut it out.  I added some twine and a fun summer sentiment.

 

What do you do with your leftovers?

Happy Mother's Day

 

This is my favorite photo of me and my boys.  They really are amazing and I one lucky Mom!

 

I am also sharing today the last two gift card holders I created for Mother's Day week on the Epiphany Crafts blog. 

 

 The first is a matchbox cut file I got at the Silhouette Store and used my Silhouette to cut it out.  I added a brad using the Epiphany Crafts Brad Settings Round 14.

 

 

I love this paper by Maggie Holmes so soft and pretty.  I added another clothespin to this gift card holder as the body of the butterfly.

 

 

The last one is a file die cut with my Silhouette. 

 

I used the Maggie Holmes clips as the body of the butterfly for this one.

 

I adhered the sides together so I could put the gift card inside.  To finish it off I added a Epiphany Craft Charm Setting to the top.  They are so pretty!

 

 

Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!  Thanks for stopping by.

Gift Card Holders

This week was all about Mom's on the Epiphany Crafts blog, I wanted to make some fun gift card holders that could be used for Mother's Day or really any day.

 

I made several different kinds today I will show you a couple.  The first one was a purse die cut from the Silhouette store, I cut it out from the new Maggie Holmes collection. 

I used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Flower 25 and coordinating bubble caps to make the cute layered flowers I added. 

 

 

I also added a tag and card to the inside for the gift card.  I really love the cute clothespins that were in this collection and added one to keep the purse closed.

 

The second gift card holder looks like a small gift bag. 

 

 

 I used my silhouette to cut it out and added another clothespin at the top to keep it closed. 

 

For this holder I used the epiphany Crafts Button Tool Round 20 to make a perfectly coordinated button to add to the clothespin.

Stop by on Mother's Day and I will share the last two gift card holders.

Mother's Day Frame

I don't have that many photos of my Mom and me so I have been making an effort to take some photos of the two of us together whenever I can. 

 

For Mother's Day I made a frame using my Silhouette and Imaginisce Love you More collection.

 

I also made some of the Imaginisce rolled flowers to decorate it.

I added a punch (the I-top punch) to the back of the smaller flowers and sprayed them with shimmer mist to make them sparkle.

 

I also added some silver ribbon so she can hang it on her wall.

 

I hope you all get a chance to tell your Mom how special she is.  Love you Mom.

Mother's Day gift bags

I made some gift bags for Mother's Day.  I love making my packaging as pretty as the present inside.

I used a Kraft bag for this one and used my old My Little Shoebox papers and flowers to decorate it.

 

I used my Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Scallop Circle 25 to add a fun embellishment to the flower centre.

For the second bag I used a white bag and used the same paper and flowers to embellish it.

 

A few letter stickers and twine to finish them off.

 

Are you busy crafting for Mother's Day?
