Picture This

This is our last week working with Teresa Collins paper lines and we love the results from our design team! See what beautiful card Lyssa Zimmerman created today!

Another week, another fun card!

I really like how all of Teresa Collin's Lines can go together. This card is made from a few of her Brand new lines plus a few from the fall. Each and every piece is timeless.

From the card, it's theme is Love, so it can be used for Valentine's day, anniversaries, birthday, etc. Pretty open to lots of occasions!

As always, used the Ebosser to emboss the heart, which was also cut out using a die with the machine.

Have a happy Week!

Scrappin' Fridays: Project Life Week 3

Sam is on a roll with her project life memory keeping! See what she created today below!

Hi everyone and happy Friday! I am still very much in love with my DIY cork embellishment that I die cut using my beloved eBosser. I place them in a little bowl on my desk and would sprinkle them all over my pages whenever I am doing the final touch up for my pages.

For this week Project Life page, the color is a little more muted. So I decided to sprinkle some cork embellishment on some of the PL cards to add some texture. And also added enamel dots on the cork embellishments for fun texture.

I added a geotag (with yellow enamel dots) on the weekly title card – because geotag indicate – We Are Here in my page. And also added a small camera on the bottom right corner.

My boy just started having solid food this week on his spanking new ride – a duckie car. So the die cut car is so apt!

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:

Papers – Project Life kits by Becky Higgins, Studio Calico

Embellishments – Basic Grey, My Mind’s Eye, Chic Tags

Dies – My Favourite Things Die-namics

Others – Watercolor, Cork sheet from Daiso, Tiny Attacher

Post Note Holder

We have another beautiful project by Debi Tullier! See it below!

I have just loved working with Teresa Collins papers and embossing folders. They really help me express my inner thoughts in a tangible way!

I used Teresa Collins “Save The Date” collection! It is uber cute~

My card is a side step card. I used Spellbinder’s dies to cut my frame pieces. I also used two of Teresa Collins embossing folders made especially for the eBosser. The ones used are called, Twill Herringbone and Sophicated. I love their deep emboss. In the paper package there was a sheet of “polaroid” type photo mats and I used those for my dividers.

I used assorted inks and adhesives to construct my divider file. I am so happy that I have been able to share my work with you for so long! Please keep my blog page in your files for checking up later!

The love letters are from an adhesive sticker sheet in the “Save the Date” collection! I really know that Teresa’s collections have it all and work so well with the Craftwell eBosser. In face Teresa has her special Teresa Collins’ eBosser!

Please don’t forget to check out her design page! Teresa Collins’ Blog!

Thank you for joining me, Spring is on the way!

Lovely 'Scraps' Album Part 2

Take a peek inside this shabby chic album from Misty Christensen! To see last weeks part one, click here.

Hello Friends!

I'm back with the inside of the interactive embellishment that I showed you last week.

T refresh your memory, this is the front...

So basically the base of this embellishment is the green scalloped card. I just adhered the library pockets to the front and back of the scalloped card. Easy Peasy!

I matted the scalloped card with beautiful paper from Teresa Collins "My Name Is" line

Using my eBosser, I cut the cute little dress form and trimmed it with lace and a rose. I made sure to leave the edges of the dress form unglued so a picture can be slid behind it. Another option would be to just tack it down at the top and bottom and use it as a pocket to tuck pictures, journal cards etc.. into

I cut up some Prima bling and used as a necklace on the dress form and the body of the butterfly. You can make your bling go a long way by cutting it up.

I ran the tag through the eBosser in an embossing folder, then inked it to make the embossing pop. I love this little girl image that serves as a journaling card.

Here it is without the pull outs

Thanks so much for peeking!

Misty

Thank you Misty!

Do you create mini albums? If so, do you use them for a specific occasion, or just to have a pretty landing place for any pictures?

For the Record

We are loving the 'hello my name' is collection by Teresa Collins! Seriously! Very classic, and perfect for family projects! See how Celeste Collete used this collection, in today's project!

Lately, I’ve been thinking that I need to keep a better record of my kids for my kids (if you know what I mean). We all have those moments when our kids say things that have made us laugh and wished we could have recorded or written some of those things down. So for this week’s project I will show you what I made for me, to keep track of all those fun moments in my kids life.

Here’s what I used:

A plain notebook

Teresa Collins “Hello my name is” paper

Chalkboard tape

glue

I took this simple and plain looking notebook that I bought from my craft store for a dollar.

I then cut out this polka dot paper (“Words” paper from Teresa Collins) to fit the front of the notebook. I then glued “For the Record” on top of it, this is found on the “Record” paper.

I put some stickers on there that are also from the Teresa Collins new line “Hello my name is”

After that I went ahead and started to cut out little paper tags to put my kids names on them (just like the picture below)

I used the letter stickers to add the kids name.

At the end I used some black chalkboard tape to go on the binding of the book.

So this how my book looked when I was all done! What do you think?

-Celeste

Thank you Celeste!

Fave Birthday

We keep having fun with Teresa Collins' 'Save the Date' Collection! See what sweet little card Lyssa Zimmerman created today!

Birthday cards of the funnest to make. The occasion is fun and can go any way you want.

Teresa Collin's line, Save the Date is all about celebrating! Even though it's mainly geared towards Weddings, there's still plenty to use for birthdays.

I took stickers and embellishments from Save the Date & You are My Happy to decorate. I also embosssed the front side of the card with the Honeycomb embossing folder. I also used some washi tape I had in my stash plus some sequins from TC previous lines.

Loved how it turned out! Perfect little card for a fun birthday gift!

-Lyssa

Thank you Lyssa!

I am so Happy! I love Hello, my name is!

One of things we love about Teresa Collins new 'Hello My Name Is' collection, is how gender neutral and classic it is! See the project Debi Tullier created today!

One of my favorite paper designers summed it all up with her new paper collection, “Hello My Name Is” I love the wonderful creativity it stirs in me! I love the pop-up card I made this week with her collection this week!

This is the outside view of my card! I used Teresa Collins stickers to produce the Happy as well as the sentiment, Thankful for This.

I used my Spellbinders Edgeabilities to make my edges. I love using my eBosser!

The Metal piece is a find from the Dollar Store, I used one of the stickers found in the Teresa Collins collection. I love the Happy circle and was delighted to see it fit in the Metal embellishment I used. I also used her “Thankful for This” sticker to add to my card.

Now when the card is open it thrills me!

I used my Sizzix pop-up die to create the base for my pop-ups. I used a flower steel ruled die to cut the flower loops. I am so delighted that my husband and grandchildren pop-up to greet!

You can see the wonderful sentiment assortment that I used on my card.

I trimmed my paper to fit my die, so I would not waste any of my beloved collection!

The die cut the paper out so beautifully, it also had the fold lines neatly pressed into the paper! Very easy to make my folds!

I also used one of Teresa Collins embossing folders made especially for the eBosser. The one I used is called, Twill Herringbone. I love it. I also used a Playcolor Metallic Tempera paint stick to highlight the stripes.

I love this collection and encourage you to try one of Teresa Collins collections. This one is
so much fun!

Have a wonderful week!

Debi

Thanks Debi!

Lovely 'Scraps' Album!

Recycling is a beautiful thing! Just ask Misty Christensen! She created some special touches with some of her scraps in today's pretty album!

Hello Friends!

Sometimes I like to make embellishments for my mini's with leftover scraps. I just can't bare to throw away even the tiniest piece....I'm sure one day I'll be featured on hoarders. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about :)

Anyway, I made this little embellie, it will be glued into a mini at some point. Or, I may use it as a greeting card that can hold a gift card....hmmmm the possibilities!

Here it is:

The base is made of little half size library pockets (They are connected by the scalloped "Hinge" I'll show you that next week.

I made a pocket out of one of my digital images and added a little tag. The design paper on the tag is from Teresa Collins "Save the Date" line.

I then added a little seam binding and rose to the tag.

Using my Ebosser, I sut a pretty little mat and layered another one of my images on top of that.

Here it is without the tags. The design paper is from Teresa Collins "Hello My Name Is" line

That's it for today! I'll give you a peek at the inside next week. Thanks for peeking!

Thank you Misty!

“LUCKY” CARD

We feel so lucky to be working once more with Teresa Collins' new collections! They are gorgeous! Just ask Celeste! She had a blast creating today's gorgeous project below!

Supplies:

Teresa Collins “Hello my name is” line

-“Lucky” paper

-“Journal” paper

-“Noted” paper

White cardstock

Kraft paper

Glue stick

This month we are working with Teresa Collins new line called “Hello my name is.” I’m way excited to work with this paper, I love the new textures and designs in this line. This week I’m quickly showing you how I made this “LUCKY” card.

As I flipped through the paper, I found myself going back to her “Journal” Paper. I really liked the back of her journal paper and wanted to use it for my project this week.

Then I found her “Lucky” paper and saw that it had the word “LUCKY” in it, I instantly knew what I wanted to do with it.

I took my Kraft paper and I glued a piece of the “Journal” paper on top of it, I wanted some of the Kraft paper showing so I left about quarter of an inch all the way around. I then cut the “LUCKY” word and glued it to plain white cardstock. I ripped the cardstock all the way around the “Lucky” box and inked the edges with a brown ink pad.

I then used the “Noted” paper and cute it outside the white cardstock, I glued all of these together and used foam dots to clue them to the card.

I added a couple of more embellishments to the card to finish it off. Now you know how simple it was to make this card!

-Celeste

Thank you Celeste!

Lovely Story

Teresa Collins always has lines that have amazing colors and themes, and when you add embossing to that, you really get an amazing project! See what Lyssa Zimmerman created today, using the 'Save the Date' line by Teresa Collins!

Teresa Collins new line, Save the Date is amazing!

I get to play with it this month and I have fallen in love with the colors!

To start, I made this card for your significant other!

It was used with her paper and sticker sheet from the line. This time, I used a black card, which played well with the black accents she has in it.

What would you make out of this line?

-Lyssa

Thank you Lyssa!

Scrappin' Fridays: Project Life Week 6

Remember last week when Sam showed us her diy cork embellishments she created on her eBosser? Well this week she's back, and she's showing us how she is using them in her Project Life pages! See her inspiring work below!

Hi everyone and happy Friday! Today I have a double page Project Life spread to share here. I am obsessed with my beloved ebosser and cork embellishment recently. I have die cut a bunch of them and have been using them on almost all my pages.

The title card FUN is die cut using My Favourite Things Die-namics. I added the cork embellishments to the page to match with the kraft color in the page. Kraft and cork embellishment match so well ;)

The tiny hearts and stars are die cut using Lawn Fawn dies. They are just perfect for PL, card making and also layouts. You just gotta sprinkle them all over your projects!

February is a Month for Love!

Debi is passionate about February! See her love inspired project she created today!

I know that Valentine’s Day is over but the lovely month is ripe for celebrating the love we have for each other! I would love to see it practiced every day instead of just one month!
