Bitty Bits Cards

Hello blogland! It's been a while I know ... life gets in the way ... what are ya gonna do? :) Anyway, one of the most recent swaps we've had at Fancy Paper Crafters was for the little 3x3 cards. These things are so much fun to make and really don't take a lot of time at all!! I wanted to try something a little bit different this month by really utilizing some of my stamps that I've been collecting over the years LOL. I also chose to use all Stampin' Up! product on this project which isn't something I've done in the past. It feels good to finally use the things I purchased so long ago (I know I'm not the only "collecting" crafter out there LOL).




Anyway, the details for this card are pretty simple. I just layered the paper, distressed the edges of the white front and inked both the front and inside. I wish I could remember what stamp set I used but unfortunately it has slipped my memory. The little pearls on the butterfly are also by Stampin' Up! I really do like how the Stampin' Up! inks and papers coordinate so nicely together.

That's about it for now! Thanks for stopping by :). Happy crafting!!

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!

For my layers of cardstock, I used Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock . I’ve been turning to this cardstock a lot lately

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
