Webster's Pages: April 2014 Vellum Challenge!

Webster's Pages is having an April Vellum Challenge and I thought I'd give it a try :) Did you know that printed vellum paper is a trend? Well, Webster's Page nailed it and I LOVE what they have to offer!

I used the Bike Ride Vellum Paper from their Growing Up Girl Collection...

to come up with this 12 x 12" scrapbook page called {FRIEND!}...click on images for a closer look!

I cut the vellum paper into 1¾ to 1" strips and edge with gold ink to highlight and create a textured background...

I used the Places to See patterned paper from Our Travels Collection as the base for my page. I just added shaped Heart and Arrow Paperclips from the Recorded Collection. I added a "DATE" sticker from Our Travel Tag & Prompt Sticker to complete the space.

Using leftover vellum, I used my fringe scissors to create a flower embellishment, in combination with Spellbinders® Die D-Lites™ Medallion Seven die as its base and centered with a floral pink button.

After assembling all the pieces together, I came up with this layout of my new friend, Kendra, and me at the 2014 Winter CHA (Craft & Hobby Assoc.) trade show. So nice to meet friends and co-workers that you only talk on email or Skype! LOVED how this turned out!! In case you're wondering, my journaling is in the back of page :)

Project Supplies:
Webster's Pages – Our Travels Collection (Journey Stories,Places to See,Our Travel Tag & Prompt Sticker and Mini Life Cards), Recorded Collection (Heart and Arrow Paperclips), Party Time! Collection (A Surprise! and Party Bus) and Growing Up Girl Collection (Bike Ride Vellum Paper)

Congrats Vintage Labels Three & Seven Cling Stamps

Today's JustRite® PaperCraft’s April 2014 Release is Congrats Vintage Labels Three & Seven Cling Stamps. With a combination of JustRite's exclusive Vintage Labels Seven Dies (JAN 2014 release), Vintage Labels Three Dies and Spellbinders® die templates, I created an elegant thank you card.

JustRiteの4月リリースの最終日です。今日はCongrats Vintage Labels Three & Seven Cling Stampsを使い、エレガントなカードを作ってみました。真ん中の"Thank You" & イメージを押した後、Vintage Labels Seven Dies (1月のリリース) & Vintage Labels Three Dies (イメージ) ダイで切て• エンボス (cut and emboss) しました。バックグランドのダイカットはS5-198 Tapestryのダイです。

Metallics is a trend right now so I took a silver tone to my card. I cut and embossed a silver text printed vellum with S6-001 5 x 7 Matting Basics A. Just to give it enough subtle design against the white card base.

I stamped the image from Congrats Vintage Labels Three & Seven Cling Stamps set onto white cardstock. Then I cut and embossed Vintage Labels Three die over the stamped image. Don't you love the Tapestry die template?! I used silver metallic paper with it - LOVE it!

For the sentiment, I stamped and heat embossed Congrats Vintage Labels Three & Seven Cling Stamps "Thank You" first and then cut/embossed over it with Vintage Labels Seven Dies.

Assemble with 3D Foam Squares behind the sentiment, the rest with E-Z Runner and place rhinestones to the card panel. Here's a second look at the finished card...

Happy 4th of JULY!!

WOW! It's already July! As we closer to the 2011 Summer CHA (Craft & Hobby Assoc.) trade show, the less time I have to update my blog so please forgive the lag time in between now and the end of July. BUT I will do my best to keep up :0)

On the occasion of the 4th, Scrapbook News and Review Magazine's front page features the holiday as a reminder of what the theme is all about! Go over to "A Little Red, White & Blue For You" and not only read it but enjoy the artwork too. I created a couple...here's one of them but you'll have to go there to see the others...so lucky to be part of this talented group.
