Thank You with Lisa

THANK YOU to our VETERANS!

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper taking over the blog today and  I'm sharing a few Thank You cards that I created using the easel card from the SDS Halloween Soiree Kit and the Stars and Stripes card from the JGW Stars and Stripes Card Kit. 

Using the Stars and Stripes card components I created a shaker card filled with red and blue sequins and white seed beads. The striped layer from the Stars and Stripes card makes creating a shaker super simple and the easel card base really shows it off. These two files work beautifully together. I used the Thank You sentiment from the My Hero Kit.

The second card I made I did a little stamping using stamps from my stash and components from the SDS Halloween Soiree Easel Card, the cardbase and a few of the layers for matting. Even though this is from a Halloween Kit it makes a perfect cardbase for all your easel cards. 

You can find all the details on my blog. 

As always, thanks for joining us today!

Celebrating the USA!

Happy 4th of July! Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine here, I was so excited when my I-Team day was for today! I love creating but it is just so much more fun when I have a reason for the creation!

I used 2 SVG Attic kits to put this together. JGW USA Ensemble and JGW Stars and Stripes Cards

Used my eBrush to give the S some shading.

I made the star a shaker. That was fun!

I added Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine on the fireworks tail (below) and also made a bow with it and put that on the flag pole (above)

Paper used is from DCWV- Seaside Yacht Stack, Frosted Spruce Stack, and Script and Music Notes Stack.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you and your family a very Happy 4th of July!

HOME!!!

Happy Monday! Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine here and today is my day.  I am excited to show you what I've been working on.  My cousin built a house and moved back to my area so I wanted to make her something for the house. So I decided to use the SDS 3D Box Letters to make their last name. I also made a card from JGW Stars and Stripes Card Kit .

I so love how this turned out. I wanted to do it in the colors of her living room. Below is a side/top view of it. I used BoBunny DoubleDot paper for the accent color I also embossed it. 

I used BoBunny and Doddlebug papers for the card.

The following is what else I used on the projects:

Jaded Blossom- Home Sweet Home, Seeds of Friendship, Blessings Candies, Dimensional Banner Dies, Curly Label Die, Mini Tag Dies 2, and Film Die Set

Trendy Twine - Chocolate Truffle

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Make sure you stop back again soon!

Bird House Card- with Melissa

Hello Friends!  I hope you all had a terrific time at the blog hop this weekend!  So fun to see what everyone makes and I don't know about you, but I am glad the kids are on their way back to school!  If you hopped- Be sure to check and see if you are a winner too!

Today I have this little card to share.  I used the Stars and Stripes card kit along with the Flourished Spring kit to give the adorable bird house card a different feel.  I added the sentiment to the inside of the card- so that I could decide how to use it later.  Thinking of you, Happy Birthday, Get well... endless possibilities!

Most importantly, we buy kits because we love what we see, but it's good to look at them all differently too and see how else we can use them.  Sometimes it's a major tweak and sometimes, its as simple as using new colors and different embellishments to give your kit a whole new life.  I hope you find yourself inspired today!

Happy Crafting! ~Melissa

A Birthday Card with a Twist -- with Julie

Hello, crafty friends.  Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. It's so close to the 4th of July that we have fireworks going off every night at dusk in our neighborhood (poor dogs, they just don't like them!).  I used a patriotic kit today, but made a creative twist with it. 

Here's what I created:

I used the JGW Stars & Stripes Card Kit, but instead of using patriotic papers, I went with a birthday theme.  July is a very popular month for birthdays with my family and friends so I need quite a few birthday cards.  Several are close to the 4th of July, so I thought this would be a fun twist.

After cutting out the card and attaching the layers, I stamped the "Happy Birthday" and the fireworks stamps on the label in second generation stamping.  The bling is from my stash.   

Have a great 4th of July!

Shaped July 4th Card with Beth

I have three people in my family whose birthdays are on the 4th of July...my dad and two cousins.  Crazy, right?  So when I saw the Stars and Stripes card kit from SVG Attic I knew the shaped July 4th card would be perfect as birthday cards :)  A little non-traditional, but very fun!

It was so easy to make!  Plus I made the matching A7 envelope included in that kit out of patterned cardstock.  I popped a couple of the elements up with foam tape and added a few red sequins and lots of white doodle dots.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day and a great Fourth of July!
