The other peak border to the left side here is punched with Kreaxions #920.

Practical Scrappers and Pinterest Inspirations

At Practical Scrappers today we share Pinterest items to share that inspire us.

I used vellum and cut cricut flowers which i embossed, leaves and accented them with stickles.

I added twine tied buttons for centres.

I ink stamped the stems, added a twine flight path for the butterfly and 

the great sentiment is SRM Stickers matted and some white lines.

My card above was inspired by the card below:

Cookin' Up Creations with more Board Games & Technique Tutorial

Super fun this month.. with games and challenges. When my kids were little I told them sequence was easy to play because all they needed to know was their #'s. So with numbers in mind I challenge you to get out all those old, miss matched #'s of any style or shape. We are using them on our page today.

 On this sample I placed some #'s and added misting to them using them as a mask.... then took them off the page.

Then I added even more #'s .. some foam and some just shiny epoxy type. Now that I have my #'s background I was ready to create and finish my page.

Here is my finished page using lots of #'s. Your challenge is to use #'s any way you like but lots of them. You have all month to play along.... so be sure to stop on over at Cookin' Up Creations and I can't wait to see what you have to share.

Let's Get Sketchy

Let's Get Sketchy and today's fab sketch lead to the possibility to using mega rows

of washi tape instead of stash paper.

I then added a punched butterfly with stickles and twine trail

and also added the SRM Sticker matted title.

More twine around the photo, and lots more SRM Stickers in the border below

the washi tape and SRM Sticker stitches in the corner.

Really cute rows of SRM Stickers are a perfect touch.

Cookin' Up Creations & a month of Game Board Challenges

Welcome to Sketchy Saturday at Cookin' Up Creations .. and our fun month of board games.

The game of the day is Cribbage. 

All the little pegs holes made me think of polka dots.. so using my sketch  below... 
 the game twist is to use polka dots on your page some where?

Here is my sample page... I went a little crazy with fun, bright prints but it suited the fun kids photos.

I used polka dot paper through the centre and ripped the edges and inked them. The paper line is Momenta.

If you'd like to join us this month and play along check the daily board game challenges.. they are so much fun.

Just for YOU

Today at Just Imagine Crafts I had great fun creating this fun card.

Lots of embossing and punching gives lots of depth and texture.

I embossed the background for starters.

Then used a spellbinder to frame and mat the Kreaxions Butterfly with I also

embossed then punched with Kreaxions #920 on the wings.

I added a fun Kreaxions Punched #309 border and then added some pennents and even

more butterfly accents.

The fun sentiment and white wavy accents are SRM Stickers.. 

that are one of my fav things  to use on alot of my projects. 

In the close up you can see the details, inked embossing and all the small things

that give the card depth and texture.  

 And here are the Kreaxions Products I used and the link to the store
