My Latest Projects for "Hire"

A friend asked me to create some party invites for her. I came up with a couple samples off hand going off of small tidbits she shared with me. I believe the goal was to appeal to both women and men so we didn't want it too feminine.
Here is what she chose:

(I attempted to blur out the text JUST IN CASE a recipient could be peaking)

There is a pocket on the inside for adding maps and area information for those out of town guests. A fun little touch so that the extra papers don't just fall out of the card!


I also created an extra card using the same format for her to give to the guest of honor if she so chooses. I was dying to add a little more girly flair on this one so I had fun stamping on paper flowers to coordinate the other colors used. Here is the end product for that:

I had to make a more frilly choice with a matching envelope, I couldn't resist ....All products used are from Close To My Heart

The phrase is from the TICKLED PINK National Scrapbook Day Campaign.

6x6 Album Workshop

Today was the big day for the 6x6 Display Album Workshop. I think it all went very well -- following cutting diagrams can be challenging and tedious but we all made it through!

I am happy to have met some new scrappers/paper crafters. I hope to see you again soon at my next workshop! Most workshops have the pieces precut so they aren't all like this one. However I find it good to go over how to use a paper trimmer here and there and demonstrate how to maximize the use of your beautiful papers by cutting the pieces out together.

Here are the page layouts for anyone needing a peak to finish up the embellishments.

6x6 Album Workshop

I will be teaching a workshop this coming weekend. We are nearly out of spaces so if you were on the fence before about signing up ...... get your call into inde-scrap-able! right away to save your spot! (503.826.1600)

We will be creating 12 - 6x6 Scrapbook Pages together complete with embellishments!


The workshop will include papers, embellishments, album, and page protectors to complete 12 layouts for $25 or supplies for 2 albums for $40.

These make great Mother's Day Gifts, Baby Shower Gifts, Wedding/Anniversary Gifts, or even Theme Albums such as Zoo Trips which is what I am using these Outdoor Page Samples for.

This workshop is Saturday, April 25 at 10am. There are 3 kits to select from:

Kit #1 Blues/Greens/Browns



Kit #2 Pinks/Browns/Creams



Kit #3 Outdoorsy

HaPpY BiRThDaY TANYA!

My sister in law's birthday was the other day. I made her a card that I thought came out super cute so I snapped some pictures before she received it so I could share it here with her permission!

Here is the front of the card:

and a side view:

All products are from Close To My Heart.

Instructions:

I used a sheet of polka dot B&T from the Silhouette Paper Pack.
The pink is Hollyhock.

I used my fancy edge Scallop Scissors on the Hollyhock Carckstock and the Silhouette Polka Dot B&T. I glued both of those down onto a Colonial White Cardstock Base.

The Cupcake image is a stamp from Cupcake Sprinkles Stamp Set.
I stamped out the cupcake wrapper and top onto cardstock.
I applied Liquid Applique to the cupcake top and heated with an embossing gun.
I stamped another cupcake wrapper onto white cardstock and cut it out.
I adhered it with pop dots to the base cupcake.
I used a Paper Piercer to punch holes into the cupcake icing and used Tiny Black Brads for sprinkles.
I squirted out a little Liquid Glass on the brads and put on some prisma glitter for a shimmer affect.
I added Clear Sparkles for a little "bling" to the cupcake wrapper.
The entire cupcake is pop dotted off the card.

I used Paper Flowers with a Clear Sparkle to each of their centers.

The Happy Birthday Tag is chipboard with the words stamped on. Liquid Glass was applied with a little Prisma Glitter added to it.

Happy Stampin, Scrappin or SCRAMPIN! Kristie
