Simplicity....

It doesn't get any easier than this....cut, color and attach.  

I thought it would be fun to use a mix of color for Valentines.... adding the touch of orange really sings to me for some reason.... it's so fresh! The die cuts are from the Kerri Bradford Studio.  She's having a SALE this week!!!  Check it out HERE.

Back from CHA!

Wowzers! 

What a whirlwind this past month has been!!!  CHA was on the menu... I had a few things going on in preparation for the show.  I had a lot of class prep and card samples to make.... then more samples for a few other booths.

First I want to share something... I got to be part of the Ranger Designer Challenge. There were AMAZING dress forms from other designers...Jaw Droppers I tell ya!!! We got to use the new Ice Stickles and Liquid Pearls.... But if you know me... I'm not a fan of glitter... so I stuck with the metalic Liquid Pearls. 

I went with a Steam Punk theme, used the new Liquid Pearls to make my paper look like metal.  I built the "Cage" from Grunge Paper.  She has this good/evil thing going on... here's a peek.

I was truly in my element with this project... I was able to just sit and create without pressure.  I have a list of supplies that I'll put at the bottom, but please note: the gears and gadgets die cut is for the bigger gears on her cage skirt.  I found the smaller gears (on her bosom) in the Silhouette store and they are cut from black cardstock. The wings are made by white embossing on regular tissue paper, then I wrapped the paper around formed covered wire securing it with matte medium.

I hope you all enjoy this!!!  I LOVE making something from almost nothing!!!

Happy Monday everyone!

I've got a little share for you today. I made this fun birdhouse notepad from a couple of Kerri Bradfords digital cutting files. It's to hang on the fridge to take quick notes. 

Once I had my pieces cut, I went to town covering the birdhouse with strips of my FAVORITE Studio Calico papers. The Bird was cut out with white cardstock then colored with Distress inks (I started with Antique Line and finished with Frayed Burlap).

 

The finished notepad is 10" x 6.5".  The notes are 3.75" square and are made from printer paper secured with brads... I can pull each sheet off and refill when it runs out.  I hope you like it!

Thanks and Enjoy!!!
