Anna Griffin on HSN

Today I'm sharing a handful of projects I created for the 24 Hour Craft Event on HSN earlier this month. First up is Anna Griffin's Fancy Floral Paper Collection.  I love this array of pretty prints so I created fun backgrounds for the next two scrapbook pages combining multiple patterns. 

Following are a couple cards I also created with these papers along with the Paper Tricks Embossing Folders and the Birthday Bouquet 3D Sticker Kit.

Also released were a couple new Cricut cartridges called Anna's Lace and Anna's Lovely Layered Cards that I used to make the next two cards.

The product focus for this next scrapbook page and greeting card are the Birthday Bouquet 3D Sticker Kit. 

Finally, there's the brand new Halloween collection called Endora that I used to create the following scrapbook pages and cards. 

Eek! Spooky and so much fun, don't you think? 

The next HSN Craft event will air on September 9th and I've been a busy little crafter bee created more fun projects for this event. Stay tuned! 

Next Level Embossing

Hello crafty peeps! For those of you who are fans of dry embossing, I have a card to share with you today on the We R Memory Keepers blog using one of their Next Level embossing folders. 

Here's a little peek at that project. Seriously gorgeous and detailed embossing, right? Hope you have a moment to click here and view the entire project.

If you missed my last We R Memory Keepers post I created a fun little ensemble for the Fourth of July using Template Studio along with the Banner and 123 Punch Boards. 

It's super quick and easy, and fabulous looking, to create matching envelopes for my cards using the 123 Punch Board.

I made this dimensional and layered star with the Template Studio. 

For an added bonus, I created a mini banner with the Banner Punch Board to slip inside the card.

Wouldn't this little banner look darling as a Fourth cake topper? 

 

This set with made with Pebbles' Americana collection. I love that big dimensional star and think making several of them for a banner would be awesome, don't you? Gotta love We R Memory Keepers tools! 

Wanderlust

I still have a pretty serious case of wanderlust that I just can't seem to shake! So I was drawn to create this card with map patterned paper and Reverse Confetti's Globe Confetti Cuts. 

For the past seven years the hubs and I have had a vacation each summer while Christopher went to camp for a week, but this year he didn't get in. There are just too many campers and too few spots. I thought I'd be just fine with it, but I really miss those few days Dan and I've had together. It makes me really appreciate how lucky we are to have those memories. 

Fortunately, we still have our annual family beach trip next month. We're all really looking forward to that and counting down the weeks and days. 

And...at the end of the year there will be a week camp session that we think Christopher has a good chance of getting into.

For now I'll use my paper crafting as a little escape and daydream about traveling. Maybe I'll create a couple scrapbook pages of previous vacations? This adorable globe would be perfect for that! 

Birthday Balloons

Today I'm sharing a festive birthday card I created for the July 1 - Celebrate challenge over at Curtain Call.  

I love this month's inspiration photo! The glitter on those balloons is over the top fabulous!

I had a bit of a challenge with this card. At first I tried to use the balloons from Reverse Confetti's Monkey Business stamps and Confetti Cuts, but I was Copic challenged and just couldn't color those balloons without getting smudges outside the lines. For my second try I thought I'd use the Scallops 'n Circles Confetti Cuts set to make round circles balloons that I added glitter to. But what a mess! There was glitter everywhere and the balloons looked terrible! lol

For my third try I die cut more pre-glittered card stock for the bottoms of the balloons. Finally...that worked! I love how these chubby round balloons look!

Then I used the same glitter card stock for the sentiment.
