Non-Traditional Valentine Card

     I had seen a few cards done in the last little while done with a black base... They really look sharp so I wanted to give it a try! I had just got my Meant To Be bundle order so thought that was a perfect time to try 😉 I did 2 different takes
      The first one I tried was this one using the Grapefruit Grove foil paper in the 2019 Sale-A-Bration catalog. I wasn't quite sure about it but I got some good feed back when I posted it to the Exclusive Demo Group on Facebook. Everyone seemed to think it was o.k. so I guess I will believe them 😂
     On this one I used the Heart Epoxy Droplets to give it just a little something more. The Card Stock and the foil paper are a pretty good match in Grapefruit Grove so I didn't want to put the foil paper over the card stock. Adding a few of the hearts back to the cutout looked really nice too.
     I do however think I like my second attempt better! I love the look of the Lovely Lipstick color with the black a little better, just a sharper look it think. Both cards are pretty much the same, I just added the little hearts in different places.
     I almost forgot that I used the new Stitched Rectangles as well on these cards. Having the black on black, you almost don't notice. I added the slightly larger layer on the pink card to see how that was... that might be part of the reason it is my favorite of the 2!
     Pretty much the same cards but I can't believe how different they look with just adding the simplest little differences.

Fancy Fold Card

Image
I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coarse it was in her language and i

Recipe Book Box

Image
      So it seems August is Blog catch up month for me! I get crafting and forget to do the little things that I like to do to keep my fans updated!! My apologies!!  A look at 1 Recipe Page or Insert      This was supposed to be another Cinch Book but it seems I got a little carried away... AGAIN! I made it a few paged too big so it got WAY to chunky to be bound! So... I am going to make a box to house it and a couple extra inserts and recipe cards.       I made 6 pages or inserts now and each one has spots for 26 recipe cards, 4 of which are digitally added with the digital collection I used. The Grandma's Pantry Collection my Nitwit Collections. If you choose to make the project as I did, you will have a recipe box that will hold at least 154 special recipes.       I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for the box part of this project so hopefully I can get at it soon so I can post it. I'm certain I will like how it turns out in the end 😊      I have kept a few spots
