Thinking of You Card

I'm posting again already :) ... I'm quite proud of myself LOL. This little card was special ordered by a friend of mine. I take a lot of pride in my work and hope that I have earned a new customer. In case you didn't know, I have my own company, Fancy Paper Company in which I create specialized cards, invitations, scrapbooks, etc. This card is also serving another purpose ... Katie Cotton, owner of Paper Makeup Stamps, has set up a new Facebook business page for Paper Makeup Stamps. She's got a little contest going on to feature her stamps. Whichever card receives the most "likes" under the Feb Fan Favorite Contest will receive a $20 gift certificate! I've submitted my card and would very much appreciate you "liking" my card. Please click HERE to vote and "like" my card ... voting will end March 6.



So, the details of my card are pretty simple. I found this general sketch on the Split Coast Stampers website. The brown card base is paper from Papertrey Ink. I love the smooth cardstock that they offer as it is perfect for cards! The olive cardstock is by Core'dinations but I cannot recall which specific color I used as it was from my stash. The orange cardstock was from Bazzill. I used one of the new embossing folders from Tim Holtz/Sizzix that I purchased at AC Moore on the olive cardstock. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the orange cardstock. I am really loving the border punches lately! The decorative paper was also from my stash but I think it is by October Afternoon. The stamps are from Paper Makeup Stamps. I used the Mudslide color for the ink by ColorBox (the newest archival dye ink). I really love this ink as it stamps a lot like StazOn but doesn't require the specialized cleaner.

Well, that about does it. I hope you like it! Have a crafty day!

Fun with Artist Trading Cards!

Hello again! Things have been crazy as always and I've neglected my poor blog. Just wanted to share a little ATC project with you today. These were made for a swap in Fancy Paper Crafters . The swap theme was Spring ATCs. I love all the flowers and butterflies that come out in spring so naturally, this is what I was going to do for my ATC. With the designer paper that I chose, I had so many color options! I looked through my cardstock to see what I had in my stash (I'm on a mission to use my stash rather buy anything!) that would match and came up with this coral/pinky color. I used a Stampin Up punch for the butterfly. The flower center is a simple jeweled brad by Recollections. The jewels on the butterfly are by Nicole's Design (I think!). I couldn't find my flower punches so I used my spellbinder dies and embossed them. Pretty easy peasy right :). Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a crafty day!

Scrapbooking Project

Hey y'all! Sharing a scrapbook page with ya today (thought it would be good to mix up this blog a little instead of always doing cards!). When my oldest niece, Alex, graduated high school, I made a HUGE scrapbook of her life (birth to graduation). Well, I had so much fun with it and saw how much happiness it brought to her, I decided to do the same for my nephew, Austin, who graduated in the summer of 2013. This is one of my favorite layouts from his completed album. The completed album had right around 40 pages total. This was a challenge for me as I wasn't used to scrapbooking "boy" themed pages (we only have dogs and they've all been female). I wanted to use only one picture on this scrapbook page as I felt the photo deserved to be the sole focus on the page. I don't remember the name of the designer paper I used but I know all the cardstock is by Bazzill. I used my printer to type up the journaling (my handwriting is terrible so I always print when
