Life is a Beautiful Journey

I have enjoyed creating many scrapbook pages over the years. I go in spurt. Some times I am making lots of pages and others I don't make any. I have been trying to be more regular with making them.

I found a sketch on Pinterest that I thought was so interesting so I created those pages using World of Good Suite. I used Early Espresso as the bass for these pages.

To create these two pages, I took one sheet of 12x12 World of Good designer series paper and cut it into 4 pieces of 6x6. I then cut those 6x6 pieces in half on the diagonal. I used both sides of the paper to create more interest. I also put the papers together to create the diamond on the first page and put the papers on the edges of the second page.

Then I cut my cardstock for photo mats and placed them where I wanted to have pictures. I added photo corners and ribbon to accent the photos when they are added. Then I added a few other pieces to accent the pages with Beautiful World stamp sets and coordinating dies.

How much do you scrap? Don't be afraid to add those stamped images to beautify your pages!

Happy Stampin'!

World of Good

This suite of goodies was another one that jump out of the catalog for me! I loved the old world feel to the papers and colors. When I sat down to play with it though, I have to admit to struggling. I'm not sure how I feel about these cards but I wanted to share that it can be a struggle to create for anyone. I'm not special!

I ran the Soft Suede card base through the Old World Paper embossing folder. I cut the designer series paper to a 4" by 5 1/4" piece. Then I cut that at an angle to give me the bottom portion of my card. I die cut the Misty Moonlight circle, the Soft Suede globe and the Cinnamon Cider globe base. I adhered the strip of Cinnamon Cider behind the designer series paper and adhered it to the card base. I added the globe base and the globe as well as the punched greeting.

One tip for this card, stamp the greeting before you run the cardstock through the embossing folder. Once the texture is on the cardstock, getting a clean image become really difficult. The saying Adventure Awaits is so useful for many events in our lives. I will be using this card as a graduation card. The base is Sahara Sand, with Cinnamon Cider, Soft Suede and Misty Moonlight to round out the color scheme here.

Struggling is part of creating. Stick with it, you find something that you are happy with and you will be pleased with yourself because you didn't give up!

Happy Stampin'!

Floating Easel Cards

Floating easel cards have such WOW power! I have created 3 different ones to show you how wonderful these cards can be.

This first one I made several months ago for a very special confirmation card. This card has two different stops on it so that the cross looks like it is floating within the frame. I like this stop the best.

This beauty would be a great retirement card or graduation card or job change card. Who would you send this card too?

My final card uses the beautiful set Butterfly Gala. The colors are Magenta Madness and Highland Heather.

To create these cards I used a card base of 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". The folding part is cut to 4" by 10 1/2" and scored at 2 5/8" and 5 1/4". To cut the frames out I used 3 framelits that are next to each other in size. The medium one cuts the card front. The large and small cut the frame for the image to hang from. The images are all adhered to a strip of window sheet that is 1/2" in width. You will need to measure how long the piece should be according to the frame that you have created. Make sure you only adhere the bottom of the frame to the card or it won't rise and float.

I did a Facebook Live creating the butterfly card if you are interested. You can see that video HERE if you would like.

Hope you are able to create some lovely cards using my ideas as a jumping off point!

Happy Stampin'!
