Faux quilt cards are a great way to showcase beautiful Designer Series Papers (DSPs). For these cards, I mostly used Lovely Linen.This first one was inspired by Bobby of Bits & Pieces Design Blog. To make it easier to line up the DSP blocks, I cut a Basic White cardstock panel that was slightly smaller than the cardbase and started by aligning the Designer Series Paper patterns to it at the corners first, before filling in the remaining spaces. Then, the entire panel was adhered to the cardbase.

Hello there and good morning to you! I am back with yet another project from our Craft Decathlon on Saturday. If you are a Pinterest fan you may recognise this card as it is cased from a couple of lollipop cards I saw on there! We punched out a large circle (1 3/4) and adhered 10 1 1/4 circles to it and then put the brad through the middle. The background card is the spotty paper that is turned the other way, I say paper but its more like card really. The sentiment is from the Sweet Cake stamp set and then we added another Jelly Bean brad! Hope you likey! Jules x Supplies Used: (All Stampin Up! Unless Otherwise Stated) 1. Card – Calypso Coral, Whisper White 2. Papers – Sweet Shop 3. Stamps – Sweet Cake 4. Embellishments – Jelly Bean Brads, Pool Party ribbon 5. Tools – Circle punches 6. Mediums – Lucky Limeade ink

Welcome to Day 2 of Simon Says Stamp's Best Days Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from my DT teamie, Tracy Freeman's blog. If you have just happened upon my blog and want to start the hop from the beginning, go to the Simon Says Stamp blog. We'll be giving away a $25.00 gift certificate at every stop on the hop, so don't forget to leave a comment! The winners will be announced at the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog next Wednesday, Mar. 14. I was thrilled to receive this Birch Circle die! Birch trees have always been favorites of mine, and a large one in our back yard was a big reason that we bought our house. I love the beautiful spring greens of the new leaves as they leaf out, and my card reflects that. supplies: white, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Audrey Blue, and Desert Storm card stock, Birch Circle die, leaf die, Flower Friend sentiment, bird from Oh Baby, Audrey Blue and Green Apple ink I cut the Birch Circle from both white cardstock and from a Desert Storm card front, then trimmed away the trees from the card base, and attached the white circle under it. The inside of the card was lined with a rectangle of Audrey Blue card. Then I attached some die-cut leaves in 2 pretty greens and the little sentiment and bird. My 2nd card is a baby card that is made with the new Sweet Elephants die and a sentiment from a stamp set called Oh Baby. supplies: white, black, and Green Apple card stock, My Favorite Things Tiny Check and Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots patterned papers, Simon's new Sweet Elephants die and sentiment from Oh Baby stamp set, Simon Stitched Circle and largest Scallop Stitches dies, tiny green buttons, adhesive foam squares I thought that the gingham and the mini dots were perfect for a baby card, and the little buttons were a fun embellishment, too. I used a teensy bit of black card under the elephant to make his eye show up better. And one more - simply using the Oh Baby die along with the sweet foot prints from the stamp set, set on a pieced strip quilt. supplies: white and Mint card, 1/2" strips of patterned papers, Simon's new Oh Baby die and their new Oh Baby stamp set, Stitched Rectangle and Stitched Circle dies, adhesive foam I cut 2 of the mint dies, and an extra of the shadow die in adhesive foam so that the whole thing would be above the background. I also popped the little footprints up. That's it for me - your next stop is at Gayatri Murali's blog. And don't forget to visit the stops along the Friday hop yesterday as well, for even more chances to win a $25.00 gift certificate! If you hop and comment on both days, you'll have almost 30 chances to win!

Hello and welcome to the fourth day of the Papertrey Ink August Countdown and the first Design Team group post. Today's post is all about the new Halloween sets... Mr. Bones, Happy Haunting & Tremendous Treats: Halloween. I've got a lot to share with you today... 1 tag, 2 treat wrap and 4 cards. So let me get started...  First up... Mr. Bones, by Heather Nichols. I've combined this set with my Spider Web Die Trio and used the small and medium sizes to impress webs into a Rustic White cardstock panel.  Then stamped the panel with a Mr. Bones sentiment and attached it over two types of Orange Zest pattern paper. Die cut, stamped and attached the cute spider. Up next... the tag, using this adorable skeleton image. I forgot to include an original shot of this skeleton, but I wanted a bit of movement from his arms.  Here's how: I die cut and stamped two skeletons and then trimmed the arms above and below the elbow joints. With a couple of mini brad handy for reassembly. I attached the skeleton (with the arms trimmed below the joint) directly to the tag and kept the arms (trimmed above the joint) for attaching.  Placed the arms in the desired position and then, using a piercing tool, I was able to pierce a hole through all layers and held everything together with the mini brads. Finished the card off with a heat embossed sentiment. Onto the second set... Happy Haunting, by Melissa Bickford. An adorable build your own monster set. I began this card by masking and stamping a row of ghoulish ghost in a color combo of Orange Zest, Berry Sorbet & Melon Berry. Trimmed the edge and finished the card off with a sentiment. Next... the treat wrap. Thes little packages were die cut using the Lunchbox Note Die from Royal Velvet, Orange Zest and True Black cardstock. Stamped each one with the monster outline and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to create ghostly figures. The inside features a mini die cut web, using the Spider Web Die Trio, folded over a candy filled glassine bag. I fix the bag into place with a bit of score tape. The third and final set for today... Tremendous Treats: Halloween, by Nichole Heady. For this card I chose to work with the spider image, I stamped him three times onto Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise and Simply Chartreuse pattern papers. Stamped the spider again, this time onto rustic white cardstock and colored (using Copic Markers) the heads to coordinate with the pattern papers. Strung twine spider webs (using the technique featured here), attached the spiders and finished the card off with a sentiment. Here's A Note: The twine used is actually cream colored crochet thread and I've had the same role for almost two years now. In case your wondering, you should be able to find your own at your local craft store.  Last, but definitely not least... my favorite card of the day. Using the Take Three Die, I cut six squares and embellished each one with either an image or die cut web. Then finished the card off with brads and a sentiment.  Well, there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed! Just remember that all of these sets will be available for purchase beginning August 15, at Papertrey Ink. Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...

Here are some of my favs that I pinned to my CARDS: MUST MAKE board last week: Another use for my Nesties Labels sets! Original Pin HERE Great way to use up scraps! Original Pin HERE Original Pin HERE I just made up a version of this quilt card: INSIDE VIEW SENTIMENT: Wishing You by Verve DIE CUTS: Spellbinders Captivating Squares My friend Katie used these dies on a card that I saw...then I HAD to buy them! Here's Katie's lovely card: All quilt cards remind me of the treasured quilts my Grandma Lucy made me throughout my childhood that were filled with loads of love! To make the quilt cards above, cut 1" squares for each color as follows: 4 of solid colored card stock, 4 of medium-weight patterned DSP and 8 of vanilla card stock. Cut all but 4 of the vanilla squares on the diagonal. (The 4 uncut squares go in the corners.) I used a glue stick and a piece of computer paper and attached each quilt piece starting with the center pattern. It helped to start out with a 4 x 4" piece of computer paper scored every inch in all directions. After all pieces were attached, I let everything dry, trimmed all four sides and ran this final piece through my Cuttlebug using an embossing folder.

Hi crafty bloggers - it's great to see you here! We have another fabulous challenge for you at Addicted to CAS The Code Word has been chosen by the very talented Loll, and here it is.... Here is my DT card - rainwater and umbrellas were the first things to spring to mind when I saw the Code Word (probably something to do with the UK weather)! I designed a template for the umbrella with a Nestie circle die, a small circle punch, and hand-drawn curved handle. I then paper-pieced with Tilda Flower Garden papers, and used a cocktail stick for the pole. The raindrops are "Dew Drops" I bought ages ago - almost forgot I had them!! Embossed wavy "water" and computer-generated sentiment to finish. ********** Look forward to seeing your watery creations - you have two weeks to enter, and our CAS perfectionist will win an amazing $15 gift voucher from our wonderful Sponsor Cassie, to spend at Clearly Digi Stamps . Have a happy weekend everyone. HUGS,

Sometimes you just have to "pull out all the punches." (...all the circle punches) I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest, and it called to me! It became the birthday card I gave my

Hello! Yep, its Monday again, urgh! Never mind! Here's another little card I've made, its for my friends Gordon & George who moved house this weekend (Hi if you're reading this - although I hope you aren't as we haven't given it to you yet!!) The papers are a Tilda stack I think, I can't find them anywhere online though, sorry about that. Also, the key is from a little set of bronze keys, which I don't really like! But I squidged one into my Versamark pad and covered it with silver embossing powder and voila! So much nicer! I lost a little of the detail but that's fine with me :-) Thanks for popping in!

Happy Friday! I can't believe it's already time for another release. The Verve Release Party kicks off at 9PM Eastern TONIGHT! I hope you'll come, because Mr. Verve and I can't wait to chat with y'all! All of our new sets will be available following the release party. The Divas are peeking a set called Forever in Our Hearts over on the Verve Blog today. Be sure to check it out for a chance to win! I'm actually a day behind on my peeks, since I took yesterday off for the Bella blog hop. So today I'll be sharing a project I made with Just for You and Kindred Spirits. This is one of my favorite projects I've made in a long time and I went a little photo happy, so get your cup o' joe. This was a special gift set I gave my Mom for her birthday last week. I honestly don't think she's ever been as thrilled about something I made her as she was when she saw this one. She just kept picking it up and touching it. That made my heart smile. I was inspired by Jen Tapler's money holder she made with last month's release and since my Mom is hard to buy for, I just figured I'd give her a little mad money all dressed up in a pretty money holder. I just measured a dollar bill, added a little room for margins, then scored twice and folded. I added a little piercing to the Everafter DP (Cosmo Cricket) before glueing to the Kraft money holder base, then adhered 18" lengths of kraft taffeta to the front side with sticky strip, leaving the ends trailing off to allow for tieing. The oval frame stamp is from the Kindred Spirits and I've added the From: Me To: You stamp from Just for You to the center, then cut and matted with Oval Nestabilties. A little Fleur de lis punch on either side and a couple chocolate pearls accented it beautifully. I didn't do a whole lot to the back, just added a little strip of the Everafter paper and tied up the bows. This card was the basis for the VSJUN04 sketch. I really didn't think the layout was going to work at first, but I just loved how the card turned out - so I had to make it into a sketch! The card came together so quickly! I embossed the script Cuttlebug folder on Kraft, then cut a 4 inch square of the Everafter paper and cut on the diagonal for a triangle. I punched this with the EK Success border punch, then layered over the Kraft and tied with chocolate taffeta. Next I punched a single fleur de lis, covered with Diamond stickles and glued below the ribbon for a faux charm. The circle frame and sentiment are from the Just for You set and it reads, "I'm so blessed to have you in my life". It's cut out with Classic Circle Nestabilities and then I added some diamond stickles for a little sparkle on each scallop. What's In It? Stamps: Kindred Spirits , Just for You (Verve) Paper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip (SU!), Everafter DP (Cosmo Cricket) Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU!), Vintage Photo, Tea Dye (Ranger Distress) Accessories: Classic & Scallop Ovals, Classic & Scallop Circles (Nestabilities), fleur de lis punch & border punch (EK Success), Kraft and Chocolate taffeta (SU!), Chocolate pearls (Kaiser Craft), sponge, Diamond Stickles, script embossing folder (Cuttlebug)

Hello friends! I finished off another 6x6 paper pad. This time I used Summer Daisies from Scrapping for Less. I really like the floral designs and soft colors. This collection would be perfect for a variety of card themes including sympathy or birthday. I decided to stick with mostly general and thank you sentiments though
