Layout to Card with Gossamer Blue

Hello friends! I'm happy to let you know that I'm sharing a layout to card tutorial on the Gossamer Blue blog today. I love using a layout as my inspiration to create a quick and fun card. I share my tips and tricks on doing this process. These projects were created with the August kits. Hope you'll stop by!

Card with Jillibean Soup

Hello friends, I'm back today sharing cards I created for my July assignment for Jillibean Soup. I love the new Cool as a Cucumber line, it is so fun and vibrant. When working on my assignments I always keep the cards for last and I used whatever is leftover from my projects, so the layouts I create dictate the cards I will create. It's a great way to use bits and pieces leftover that would otherwise be thrown out. 

Cards with Jillibean Soup

Hello friends! I'm happy to be back today to share my cards I created for Jillibean Soup, they were featured of the blog yesterday and today. When working on my assignments I keep my cards for last, the reason being is that I create my cards using the leftovers from my projects. This is a great way to use up scraps of papers and finish packs of embellishments and die cuts. Hope you enjoy these cards!!

Jillibean Soup Cards

Hello friends! It's time to share my cards I created this month for Jillibean Soup. I've made it a habit to create my cards once I'm done creating my layouts. I use the leftover scraps and bits and pieces that I really wanted to use but they didn't make it onto my layouts. To create my cards I use a 8.5x11 piece of cardstock which I cut in half, it gives me the ideal card base for my cards. 

These cards feature the newest Jillibean Soup collection, Birthday Bisque and Spicy Social Soup. I also paired them with the mini-placemats, die cuts and wood buttons. Enjoy!

March Cards with Jillibean Soup

Hello friends!! Today I want to share the cards I created for Jillibean Soup. I used bits and pieces leftover from my layouts, it's a great way to use scraps. On the last card I used a mini placemat, I love the little couple holding hands. I love pairing bold and bright colours with a white background, I find it just make everything so vibrant. 

Cards with Jillibean Soup

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I created for Jillibean Soup. Both of these cards features the latest collections released at CHA in January, along with the new Wood Sprinkles and Labels. 

Love the fun and vibrant colours and patterns, the first card feature the Birthday Bisque collection with the Flashcards and Wood Sprinkles.

This card is so fun, love the mix chevron pattern paper, this card was created with the Sightseeing Stew collection. I used scraps of paper to create this card, I simply layered the paper until I was happy with the end result.

I hope you will have a chance to see the new collections IRL, they truly are fabulous. 

CHA projects with Jillibean Soup

Happy Monday friends! I don't know about you but I'm very happy that January is behind us. The weather here in Canada has been brutal, we've been stuck inside for most of January. I can't wait to shed those layers of clothing and enjoy the warm weather. One good thing about January was CHA and creating projects for the Jillibean Soup booth. 

Jillibean Soup released wonderful collections this CHA, Sightseeing Soup, Spicy Social Soup and Birthday Bisque. There are also some new placemats, wood sprinkles, stencil&stamp sets and Beanboard Alphas. Jill and the Jillibean Soup creative minds have outdone themselves, the new lines are amazing!! Thought I'd share my CHA projects in one post, you'll get to see a little bit of all the lines. 

In case you didn't know Jillibean Soup is having a DT call. This is seriously one awesome team to design for. I urge you to apply, I can't say enough good things about this awesome company!

Jillibean Soup Stamps and Stencils

One of my favourite releases at CHA has to be the new Stamps and Stencils by Jillibean Soup. I had the pleasure of testing them out and creating some projects for CHA. Love the fun stencils with coordinating stamps. The fun part of the stencil is that it has a sticky back, so it really adheres well to prevent the mists, inks and modelling paste to seep under the mask, so clever!!! On the card below I paired the stencil with modeling paste, click on the picture to have a better look. 

You can see the full release on the Jillibean Soup blog -----> here. 

Sunday Sketch with Studio Calico

Welcome friends! Today I'm up on the Studio Calico blog with the Sunday sketch challenge. I just love the sketches and knew I had to do a project for each of them. 

Here is the card I created based on the card sketch. 

The layout and sketch layout are on the Studio Calico website. I hope you will check it out -----> here.

Thank you to Studio Calico for inviting me to play along. 

Cards with Hip Kit Club

Morning friends! Hope you all had a lovely weekend, our Elf on the Shelf has made its first ever appearance and the girls loved him. I'm sure you will see him in some upcoming layouts. 

Today I would like to share the cards I created with the September Hip Kit.

The first 2 cards feature chipboard shapes by Crate Paper. I added a lot of layers with the chipboard, some fun accents with gold and a splash of colour with pink. 

The next one is a simple card, I would even say it has a masculine feel to it, perfect for that special guy!

This is my funkiest card of all 4, I did cut out 3 triangles, thought it would make a bigger contrast, perhaps I should have lined it with a brighter paper as opposed to white. The cute little phone was definitely my inspiration for this card.

Fall Cards with Hip Kit

Happy Monday! Here are some cards that I created with the October Hip Kit. Loved using the Basic Grey transparencies, stickers and die cuts to create those cards. 

Cards with SC Kits

Hello friends, I'm back today to share a couple of cards inspired by the Lifted class going on at Studio Calico. 

This first card was created with the Roundabout card kit. I used my EK success label punch to create layers on the card. Love the resin greeting including in this kit, perfect accent for a card!

This card was created using the Double Scoop kit and the printables from the Lifted class. Ive been asked before what I used to print the printables from SC, I don't have a fancy printer, just basic Canon colour printer with Canon paper and it prints perfectly. There's no need for a fancy printer to print these awesome printables.

Everyday with Hip Kit Club

This layout was created for Hip Kit club using the fabulous October kit. Of course now that I've went to NYC with my oldest I will have lots of pics of our trip to scrap. I thought this was the perfect one to use first, it was taken in Central Park, it just makes me happy!

 I can never get enough of the CP chipboard frames, I love using them as mini canvas to create clusters of embellishments. Lots and lots of layers going on here. 

I really admire scrappers that can beautifully mix various alphas to create a lo, I just can't seem to make it work, so I do the next best thing, I use a focus word in my title and cut it using my Cameo. The "everyday" word was cut with white cardstock and I used the Tim Holtz gold stain to colour it, love how it turned out. 

Last but not least I created a simple card using the leftovers from this layout. Don't you just love the mix of teal pp and kraft cradstock?!

You Light up my Life with Jillibean Soup

My card today features one of my favourite colour combo, teal and yellow. I just love how these colours contrast each other, to create this card I used the Chilled Cucumber collection along with some leftovers pieces from the white chevron placemat by Jillibean Soup. This placemat is one of my favourite item Jillibean Soup has released, I've used it as its original purpose, a placemat but I've also used it in pieces as in the card below, its a fun and easy element to add to any project.

Cute Pumpkin with HipKit Club

Today I'm sharing 2 projects I created with the fabulous October Hip Kit. Love the mix of orange, navy blue and gold accents, such fun colours to work with at this time of year. 

My first project is a layout, I love all the little bits of embellishments, diecuts and stickers included in this kit. I knew I have to create a big cluster of embellishments on my layout and I think it worked out pretty well!

I just love the shirt my youngest daughter is wearing, I wanted to create an accent pumping, to do so I used my Cameo and simple pumpkin shape, which I layered with pattern paper and stitched around the edges. 

This kit is full of awesome embellishments, I love embellishments and layering them onto my layouts. I wanted to create a focus area with journaling and embellishments. To achieve this look I "dumped" the accents on my layout and just started to play around with them, almost like a puzzle. It was a very fun process. 

I also have a card to share, love pairing the kraft with navy blue, such a beautiful combination. This card is rather easy to create, I used stickers layered with die cuts embellishments. Added stitching a typed greeting with my electronic typewriter. 

Grateful Card with Chic Tags

Happy Monday friends, today I'm sharing a card I created for the November Chic Tags challenge, all the details are on the blog ----> November Challenge. 

I love using the label tags and layering them, they are such a fun size and the colors are fabulous. I paired them with the triangle die cut from the Autum Days collection. I used the triangle stamps from the Happy Place collection with Versamark, love the look of Versamark on kraft paper. I hope you will join us and play along!! 

Today card with Jillibean Soup

This card was created for Jillibean Soup using Cold Avocado Soup. I decided to use the circle stamps as the main focus on the card. I added pattern paper to the top portion of the card which adds a  punch of color and dimension to the card. The greeting is from the diecuts of the same collection paired with a greeting stamp from Jillibean Soup and alphabeans. This is a quick and simple card to create, perfect for any occasion. I hope you are inspired to create a card today. 

Happy WCMD!!!

There is lots of good stuff happening on the Jillibean Soup blog this weekend in honour of WCMD! There are 3 sketches and inspiration from the DT. Of course there will be some giveaways too! Can't have a celebration without giveaways!! So hop on over to Jillibean Soup and play along with us.

This card was created for the 2nd sketch posted on Saturday morning, I used the lovely Cold Avocado Soup collection. 

Best Day Ever with JillibeanSoup

Happy Friday folks, I'm back today to share a card created for Jillibean Soup using the new Avocado Soup collection. I paired the paper with the new flashcard and diecuts pieces. This card is fast and easy to create, once the blocks of papers were adhered to the white cardstock, all I did was layer the flashcard and label stickers from the same collection. I really like how it turned out and I can't wait to give it to someone special. 

More Hip Kit cards and another bonus

Here I am again with another blog post, good thing that these can be schedule in advance. :) Today I'm back with more cards and another preview of an upcoming Hip2BSquare kit. Both of these cards were created with leftovers from layouts I created with the August kit. I absolutely loved the Prima 12x12 polka dot mask that was included in the kit, it is so fun to use and versatile, one of my fave mask I've played with in a long time. 

Kimberly has released a surprise this week, the October kit and it's stunning. Perfect for all those Fall pictures I love to take but also perfect for those everyday events. It will be listed in the store in the weeks ahead, hope you will check it out!
