New Kids On The Block? (A Scrap N Place)

Hi Everyone

Looking at my projects today for A Scrap N Place, you could be forgiven for thinking that there were some new Prima doll stamps on the block (yes, pun intended!)  Nope!  No new dolls, but these projects are created from a 'mash-up' of these stamps.

I just got to thinking how much fun it would be to mix and match these little cuties, and here is what I came up with...

Here is a closer look.  I used some sunglasses brads, the hat and bag are from the Prima 'Boutique' set.  If you look closely you will see that the chain on the bag is cut from the 'Birdhouse Village' die from Memory Box that I used last week.  The paper is by BoBunny 'Primrose'.

My second tag couldn't be more different, even though I used the same stamps.  All papers for this were from my stash.

With hair like that you can bet that this young lady has attitude!

With just a few snips here and there you can make your doll stamps go so much further - let me know what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.

More Birdhouses

Hi Everyone

Back today with a couple more cards for A Scrap N Place.  Once again I am using the Memory Box die 'Birhouse Village'.

These dies are such fun to play with, I loved mixing and matching the papers for the houses (Bo Bunny 'Primrose'.)  Here are a couple of close-ups.

 I used an embossing folder on the background and cut the grass strip with scissors.

The branch on this card is also a Memory Box die, the flowers are punched using a Marvy punch and the sentiment is a stamp from Stampin' Up.

Thanks Terri for having me over at your blog today, and thank you for stopping by to check out my projects.

Thanks Berry Much

Hi Everyone

Here is my project today for A Scrap N Place, as always thanks for having me Terri.  I actually made this project using my Silhouette Cameo, but there are plenty of templates for this that you can cut by hand if you do a search on the internet.

These are great little favors to make, and with the Cameo you are able to re-size them to fit different types of goodies inside.  These are a bit on the larger size so that they can hold a Ferrero Rocher chocolate.

After I cut out the template I ran it though the 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder.  I threaded green embroidery floss through the holes and tied it together, place the leaf on top and then the little label (the sentiment is computer generated, and punched out with the tiny tag punch from Stampin' Up.)

Thanks 'berry much' for stopping by today.

Happy 'Bird Day' (and a couple of extras)

Hi Everyone

Well after a long absence I am finally back to crafting - breaking both of your arms can seriously put a 'kink' in your crafting ability!

This is my first post back as designer for A Scrap N Place, and so I thought that I would spoil Terri with 3 projects!  My first is a very simple birthday card using the new Memory Box die 'Birdhouse Village'.

How cute are those little houses?  The paper I used is from BoBunny called 'Primrose'.

I love the colours in this paper, so I got a little carried away and made two more projects with it.

These little treat holders are made using the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board.  I took at 5" square sheet of paper, punched and scored it at 2.5" on all four sides - just fold, stick in place, and there you have it.  I just added a couple of butterflies (Martha Stewart punch) and a little bling.

The second treat holder I secured with a bow (also made using the punch board) on a 'belly band'.

These are so simple to make, a quick search on Pinterest will lead you to a ton of tutorials that will have you making these up in no time at all.

See you next time.

Little 'Love Convict' Card (A Scrap N Place)

Hi Everyone

Thanks Terri for having me over at A Scrap N Place as guest designer today.  I have another card today using the Bo Bunny 'Love Letters' paper and one of the Prima dolls.  When I finished paper piecing this doll, I thought that she looked like she had a convicts outfit on, hence the project name.

 The sentiments down the side of the card are  from the 'Love Letter' sticker sheet.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project today.  See you next time.

Happily Ever After (A Scrap N Place)

Hi Everyone

Today I am guest designer over at A Scrap N Place - thank you Terri for having me.  Today I have a very special card using both a Julie Nutting Prima Doll and the Jeremiah guy stamp from C Thru The Woods.  I had the idea in my head for a cute couple sitting at a soda fountain sharing one drink with two straws.  This is what I came up with.

I used a file from the Silhouette online store to cut out the awning and shop front, then used a wood-grain washi tape to finish it off.  Here is a look at the inside.

I used 'Love Letters' paper and stickers from Bo Bunny for the background and sentiment.  The root beer float is also a file from the silhouette store cut using my Cameo.

I used a piece of acetate to make the widow, and cut the word 'Cafe' from some frosted vinyl.

I love how this card turned out, and whilst I made it with Valentines in mind, this would also make a great engagement or anniversary card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Simple Valentines Day Cards (A Scrap N Place)

Hi Everyone

Today I am guest designer over at A Scrap N Place - thanks Terri for having me.  Today I have 2 very quick and easy Valentines Day cards for you, both of these I found on Pinterest.  The first one is a really cute idea, especially if you have a large quantity to make.

Such a quick and easy card, all you need are some 'googley' eyes, a heart and some rub-on or sticky letters.

My second card is a little more elegant, and could be used as an anniversary or wedding card.

I used a fine Sharpie marker to draw the lines, some die cut hearts and a little bling.

The sticker sentiment is from Bo Bunny 'Love Letters' sticker sheet.

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you soon.

I Love Every Inch of You (A Scrap N Place)

Hi Everyone

Today I am guest designer over at A Scrap N Place - as always thank you Terri for having me.  I have a tag today that I made using one of the Julie Nutting Prima Dolls - you know how I love playing with these dolls.

This tag could be used for Valentines Day, or any other day you want to let someone know how special they are.  Do you recognize this doll?  I really did play around with her, even giving her a new hairstyle.

The background paper is 'Love Letters' by Bo Bunny - I really loved this unusual colour combo.  I used some 'tape' ribbon for the side and rub-on letters for the sentiment.  The hearts I cut using a very old sizzix die.

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a peek at my project.  See you next time.

A Little Valentines Inspiration (A Scrap N Place)

Hi Everyone

Today I am guest designer over at A Scrap N Place.  I have a couple of very simple Valentines Day cards for you using an Impression Obsession die and Bo Bunny paper 'Love Letters'.

My first card I just used a black cardstock for the background and stamped it with an 'xo' stamp using versamark ink.

I love how versatile this die is and that you can use both the positive and negative parts that you cut out out for all different variations and colour combinations.  Here I used the Bo Bunny 'Love Letters' paper as the background.

I hope I have given you a little early inspiration for Valentines Day. See you next time.

Happy New Year (Almost!)

Hi Everyone

Today is my last post of the year for A Scrap N Place - thank you Terri, this past year has been a blast. Today's tag is also my post for C Thru The Woods.  My inspiration for this tag came from Pinterest.

How cute do this couple look, celebrating the new year in the city?

The city skyline, clock, fireworks and 2015 are cut using files from my Silhouette Cameo.

See you all next year.

Happy Holidays from a 'Tartan Miss' - A Scrap N Place

Hi Everyone

Today I am guest designer over at A Scrap N Place - thank you Terri.  My card today is probably one of my very favorite, probably because it uses one of the new Prima dolls, but also because I love this Authentique 'Believe' paper.

 
How cute is she dressed in her tartan outfit?  The hat is actually part of the set included with the Prima 'Dog Treats' stamp set, and the bag is from the Prima 'Boutique Set'.  What do you think of her 'fur' trimmed boots?

Thanks for stopping by today.
