Patterned paper 3 ways

Hello!

For my post today I have used the 'We are pregnant' paper pack from Craftangles to make 3 cards.

I have used the non theme papers from the pack to make these cards.

I have tried to use them in different ways..I very happy with the results..I hope you like them too.

For the first card, I used left over scraps from earlier cards to stamp the sentiment.

I added a die cut cupcake from Concord and 9th and some sequins to finish the card.

Washi Cityscape

Hello everyone!

I have a card today for the Friday mashup 'Washi Tape challenge and the Cas(E) This Sketch challenge.

To make this card, I applied two strips of bubbles Washi Tape to a sheet of paper.

I then punched out the cityscape using Martha Stewart's cityscape punch.

To make sure I would be able to adhere the cityscape to the cardstock properly, I used the Xyron 250 to make into a sticker. 

The cityscape was then adhered to white cardstock, cut to size and framed with another piece of white cardstock.

Once the sentiment from Hero Arts added the panel was popped onto the card using 3D foam tape.

Quite effective, don't you think?!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Enjoy your day!

This week in class...Happy Valentine's Day!

This week in craft class my kids made simple Valentine's Day gifts to give their friends and family. These gifts were inspired by activities on  http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/kids-valentines

Enjoy!

We made this folder by sticking five envelopes together. The envelopes create multiple pockets to store the little gifts that we made.

The hearts in red and gold were cut out and adhered to a simple wooden clothespin, and then decorated. This pretty tag can be used to close a gift bag of goodies or to hold up a piece of art!

This beautifully folded origami paper heart flower is perfect for a sweet valentine sentiment!

To make this bookmark, the kids drew the rocket on another peice of paper, coloured it, cut it out and stuck it on the bookmark along with the hearts and then wrote the sentiment. Truly out of this world!

My favourite...a gift that can be used for years...a gift tag which can be used as a bookmark!

A heart envelope! We made a patterned paper using some heart stamps we had; cut it out in the shape of a heart and then folded it into an envelope! What a wonderful way to say Happy Valentine's Day!
