Prom 1959 Scrapbook Layout

I was so excited to use these prom stickers that have been in my stash for years.

Then look what I did...

Well, for the rest of the layout I used these products:

The white die- cuts behind the photo I cut out using my Cricut.

The patterned paper is by Creative Memories.

I fixed it by placing a zig zag edged chipboard border from Joann’s over the words on the stickers.

From there, I added a white strip of cardstock to the center. 

On top of the cardstock are the correct words using Quickutz letters.

In the center of the words, is a Quickutz swirly die cut with a flower in the center.

It’s not perfect but I’m okay with that.

This is the second page and all of the die cuts were cut using my Cricut.

Here are the two layouts side by side as they will be in the book.

 

Thanks for looking.

I searched my blog for this layout and could not find it. I hate to post duplicates. 

Let me know if you see it. Thank you.

Laugh Tag

I have a tag to share today. I stamped on gray cardstock a Lawn Fawn border stamp with blue ink by SU and then added Glossy Accents to some of the holes in the pattern. The patterned paper at the bottom is by My Mind's Eye and I used a Fiskar border punch on the top of the patterned paper. I added rub-on flowers by American Crafts to the left of the patterned paper. The sentiment is a die cut by K and Co. I added ribbon from Joann's around the top of the stamped border and then added dollar store rope through the hole at the top.

Thanks for looking.

Deep Red Stamps Dress cards

Today I have two similar cards to share using a dress stamp by Deep Red Stamps that you can find at

A Cherry on Top

or

Scrapbook.com

I heat embossed each dress with Versa Mark ink and silver embossing powder by Hero Arts. Then I colored the dress in with powdered chalk mixed with white paint. It's a very soft pink color which matched the patterned paper by Making Memories. I die cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and then added Stickles to the flowers. The heart die cut is by Lawn Fawn and the rub-on sentiment is by Kaisercrafts. The grey cardstock is from Joann's.

For my second card, I fussy cut the dress out instead of using a die cut. I stamped the Stampin Up sentiment with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it in silver. I punched the sentiment out using an EK Success punch as well as the next largest circle out of the grey cardstock from Joann's. The ribbon is by Fiskars.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Antique Globe

Post edited April 2021. See sidebar for explanation 

Today my masculine card uses the Antique Globe stamp by Deep Red Stamp and you can find it at

Scrapbook.com

and

A Cherry on Top

I stamped the globe with Hero Arts black ink onto white cardstock by Recollections. I colored it in with colored pencils by Stampin Up. Then I die cut the image out with a Design Objectives die and inked the inside with distress ink. I die cut a scallop square by Spellbinders and adhered it behind the image. The brown paper that has been embossed by a Darice wood grain folder is by Making Memories and the brown cardstock used in the scallop square and the back background is from Joann's.

 The sentiment is a stencil called Birthday Words by Dreamweaver Stencils that I applied white embossing paste to the ribbon. It adds another fun texture to the card. Ribbon and brads are unknown.

Welcome back to Manly Monday. I have a great selection of masculine cards to share with you today. As always, please click on the blog name above the photo clip to be directed to the blog post of the masculine card.

Calendar Beach Scene with Brian’s 3 kids

I made this layout for one of the calendars that I made this December. I love the way the Stamp N Plus Shell Stamps add to the beach scenes in these photos. The beige cardstock is by Studio G and the polka dot paper is by Making Memories. The brown cardstock is from Joann's and the Chinese Proverb sticker is by Colorbok.

I stamped the seashells onto cream cardstock by Recollections with Chocolate Chip Stampin Up Ink. Then after I fussy cut the images I inked the edges with a Ranger blending tool and a little of distress ink. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

Happy Holidays

This year I'm very much into windows and although I have no means of my own to create one (die cut or Cricut cartridge) I found a window on a friends cartridge called Christmas Noel. I cut a bunch out while borrowing the cartridge from my friend and had to share my latest creation using it.

The outdoors scene was created with blue distress ink for the sky and then I use Tsukineko green ink for the tree stamp by Stampin Up. The window frame was white and I used distress inks and an ink blender, both by Ranger, to make it the brown color. Distress inks react with water and therefore I sprayed the window with water mixed with Perfect Pearls.

The brown cardstock is from Joann's and the patterned paper is by Martha Stewart. The sentiment was a white piece of cardstock. I took a distress ink pad and ran it across the paper a few times and then let it dry. Then I used a different color green to stamp the Hero Arts sentiment. 

Thanks for looking.

Back to School

With all the talk of going back to school I was inspired to create this card. The background stamp is by Deep Red. You can find this stamp HERE. I stamped the background stamp onto Crate Paper patterned paper and mounted that piece onto a brown cardstock.

I then embellished my card with a die cut and twine by Jillibean Soup. I tied a Karen Foster pencil charm onto the twine. On the die cut is a light bulb brad from Eyelet Outlet. The sentiment is a vellum sticker from OScrap which I've placed on piece of lined patterned paper by Recollections. The diamond patterned is by Imagination Project Gin X Artistix Cotton Art tape. That's a very old one from my stash. I'm still trying to use up some old stuff before I go out and buy the new products that are coming out or out from CHA. 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another creation using Deep Red stamps.

Jackie-My Crafting Place

Deonna-I Love to Make Cards

Thanks ladies for letting me share your awesome masculine cards.

I have a fun birthday card for a guy or a boy-either or. I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to make the numbers background and also the label/frame for my sentiment. The numbers are size 5 1/2 using cardstock by Recollections. The frame is size 1 1/2 and I used Cordinations cardstock for the frame and the white is by Recollections. 

The patterned paper in my card is by American Traditional Design-very old from my stash. Trying to use up these older products and make room for the new stuff that is constantly coming out. For the rest of my card, the brads are by Joann's, sentiment stamp by Mark's Finest Papers and ink is by Hero Arts. 

Clean and simple but yet kind of fun. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday

Welcome to another Manly Monday card. I made this one for my husband to thank him for all the time and  hard work he put into making my new studio. He really got things moving for me and I wanted him to know I appreciated it. 

Patterned paper from DCWV and Joann's, cardstock by Sunborn and Pioneer, stamp by Stamp N Plus, ink by Memento Inks and sticker by EK Success.

I used the negative of the die cut label made by Spellbinders and matted it with a darker color cardstock then what is in the center. It gives the card some depth.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
