Card Tutorial for Creative Escape Papercrafting using Christmas Kit fully loaded

OMG I am super excited to share the details to all the fabulous cards I was able to make using the Christmas Kit fully loaded from Creative Escape Papercrafting. Each card is different and I will do individual blog posts sharing the how to info so you can make them too.  Originally I used this technique to make what I called the washi tape card with pattern.... but I have since been using it when I have fabulous papers that mix and match when cut into strips. The pattern can also have a diagonal or straight pattern which ever you like best or do both ... but have fun.

This is the original washi tape sample card with the pattern for you to follow....

OR here is the squared off centre patter that I used to create this card. As long as you start with a square it's easy.

Get the first round as set up above and then just change colours/ patterns etc and work your way around to the outer edges.

The centre is left empty for your central accent or sentiment or both.

It can be single thickness, multi layered or even popped up for depth and dimension.

It is finished off by matting the main core again and adding a fun ribbon tied bow.

Thanks for stopping by... this is just the first of 10 cards I will be sharing ....so hope you'll come back often to see the others.

Feeling Sketchy for November 1st

Today at Feeling Sketchy we have the amazing sketch below and we are working with  Sheep Ski Designs that supplied this super cute digital image. What a great sponsor and they have so many other fabulous digis available too.

Using the cute penguins as the main image and adding some layers for colour and depth.. add some fun stickers, a stamped sentiment and wrap some ribbon around a few times and tie off with a bow. It perfect after adding a few brads.

Here is another close up for your viewing. 

Inside I stamped a verse and you have a finished card that is just so cute.

Thanks for visiting .. hope to see you play along with us... we'd love to see your creation using this sketch too.

Creative Embellishments November Challenge

I was totally inspired by the fall colours from the Creative Embellishments Challenge for November. I then used fall/ autumn accents to decorate my Canadian Thanksgiving with family and friends photo.  I used both natural chipboard and some copic coloured.  The autumn word set for title finished off with some of the acorn clusters were a perfect fit for this page. With my group photo I used and amazing calligraphic frame to showcase my photo. Add all this to my fall paper and stickers... I love it... it's perfect.

I laid my proposed out and then glued things down. It was so easy with the paper, stickers and the fabulous chipboards that went so well together.

This was my page done with no added colour to the chipboards.... but it didn't look quit done.

So in the close ups you can see I copic coloured the title Autumn with black and the acorn with leaves is multi tone 2 shades of brown and green leaves.

More acorn copic coloured accents.

The photo frame is left natural chipboard colouring.

 

Thanks for joining me today... hope to see you again soon.
