Chipboard Tutorial

Hi!

I issued a challenge this weekend during the OWH Blog Hop to use
Chipboard. A lot of you commented that you don't have chipboard
pieces.

So I wrote up a tutorial on making your own chipboard pieces. I also
posted this tutorial up on Papercraft Planet.

Also, I will extend my drawing on my Blog Candy to Friday for anyone
that posts a comment here and on my OWH Blog Hop post. But only if
you take my challenge which is to use chipboard on either a card or layout.

Did you know you can find awesome tutorials on PCP.

No-Stitch Ruching

Hi!

Today the PCP Newsletter comes out and here's the tutorial I wrote.

No Stitch Ruching

Also I created this card for a couple of challenges. Although, one of them
I'm kind of not sure if I qualify for. You see Our Creative Corner has a Try
A New Technique challenge and they said " if you're stumped for a new
technique, check out the Resources on SplitcoastStampers or the
Tutorials on Papercraft Planet."

Well, since I am on the PCP Tutorial Team, that's why I'm not sure if it
qualifies or not.

The other challenges I created this card for are both on the Club Anya &
Friends blog. Although, I didn't include the sentiment. Oops.

One is Sketchy Saturday and the other is Wild Card Wednesday - Paper
Piecing.

Materials Used:

Stamps: The Greeting Farm Dressy Camille digi

Paper: Overton House Designs SCBP12 - Caramel Toffee Vintage Flowers/Linen Mini Dots

Ink: Sharpie, Copic R00 Pinkish White, R11 Pale Cherry Pink, Bic Mark-it Tuxedo Black, Honey Brown, Woodsy Brown

Accessories: Bazzill Basics Ribbon Brown Dashed, Flora Doodles by Petaloo

Hi!

Happy Valentine's day everyone!

I don't know what dh & I are doing today since my tooth still hurts from the root canal yesterday. Well, at least I finally got the root canal done. Now I just have to get a hold of my regular Dentist to schedule putting on the crown. Since, it's like a conspiracy that the regular Dentist can't do a root canal but can do a crown and the "Specialty Dentist" can do a root canal but not a crown. What's up with that?

Oh well, dh will probably just want me to rest today. He is a sweetheart though because since we knew they were going to finally hopefully get all this mess of a root canal done. He bought me my box of chocolates last weekend.

Anyway, I love this couple stamp. It's super cute. I actually used it for the Shoebox Swap that I did in San Antonio and mid cleaning I found that card. So I will have to post a pic later.

Anyway, I joined in a challenge on PCP for Special Valentine "Sweet Treat" Challenge!

We were to pick our top 3 choices for what we wanted for Valentine's.

And then later we found out that they applied to embellishments we would use on a card.

So I picked:

1, New Craft Workspace - Stitching either hand or machine
2. Romantic Dinner with that Special Someone - Pattern Paper
3. Heart Shaped box of chocolates - Brads or Eyelets

I used the Sketches! recipe challenge Recipe Challenge #35. The brads are heart shaped and I used 2 of them.

And the card used the 2 Sketches 4 You Challenge Laura's Sketch 19.

Materials Used:

Stamps: American Art Stamp Couple in love

Paper: SU! designer paper, CM Cardstock Black, White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic YG11 Mignonette, Y02 Canary Yellow, BV04 Blue Berry, RV13 Tender Pink, E00 Skin White

Accessories: Joann Fabric brads, Quickutz Lemonade alphabet, Bazzill Basics Ribbon Black Dashed

By the way in case you decide you like the look of the Copic pens remember to only use Fade-resistant dye ink or the ink will run all over your pretty coloring. I use Memento by Tsukineko. Just giving you a heads up.

Happy Crafting.
