DCWV–Violet Leaf Card

Happy Monday people!!  Her today to bring you a third DCWV project for March!  I used the Violet Leaf Stack and the Violet Leaf Matstack to make this pretty anniversary card!

 

Everything on this card is from the stacks except for the stamping because DCWV stacks have so many bits and pieces to cut out and add to your projects!

AnniversaryCard

The patterns and colors of this collection are so dynamic and contrasting, but I love how they all go together!  And these new matstacks are to DIE for! See the scalloped mat?  Those scallops are cut for you because all the new matstacks are shaped!

Supplies: DCWV: The Violet Leaf Stack, The Violet Leaf Matstack | Stamps: Hampton Art for Bella Blvd | Ink: Memento by Tsukeniko | Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers

DCWV/Tombow Spring Fling!

Welcome to the DCWV/Tombow Spring Fling Blog hop!

This week, DCWV and Tombow have teamed up to spread a little bit of spring fever.  Both design teams are excited to show you just what we have done with the My Sunshine and Chickadee stacks from DCWV, and some amazing adhesive products from Tombow.

If you have come here from Tombow then you're on track! If not, you should go back there and start today’s leg of the hop!

I decided to bring you a cute, little, double banner that I made with the Chickadee stack and a bunch of Tombow adhesive!

I love the new Tombow Power Tabs! I used them to pop the scalloped circles onto the banners.

I used the Tombow Mono Mulit Liquid glue to cover these little wooden shapes with the Chickadee paper – aren’t they adorable!? The coverage and smoothness of the glue is awesome.

This Chickadee stack has lots of great spring patterns and it is so easy to use on projects like this because it’s only 6x12 and has a pretty scalloped edge on each page.  See how I used them as the tops on some of my banners?

I assembled most of the pieces of the banners with this SUPER awesome Tombow Stamp Runner – the application is smooth and the adhesive is STRONG! Love it!  I’ve used it so much since getting it that I’m already through the starter cartridge!

Be sure to visit all the projects featured this week and leave a comment for your chance to win!  We will be giving away both the My Sunshine and Chickadee stacks to 2 lucky readers, and one amazing package of Tombow Adhesive including NEW Stamp Runner Permanent Adhesive, NEW Stamp Runner, Dot Pattern Adhesive,  MONO Multi Liquid Glue, NEW Power Tabs and MONO Glue Stick, 0.77 oz to one other lucky reader!  The more you comment, the more chances you have to win!

DCWV–The Foiled Elegance Stack + Some Odd Girl!

Hey there people!  It has been a while since I’ve posted anything featuring a colored character.  I do love coloring and I was totally inspired by the latest Odd Girl hop! So…let’s get to the goods shall we?

LOVE this stack because it is printed on kraft and is so beautiful!!  I also used one of the new little 6x6 glitter stacks that are so FAB!

Glitter-FoilEleganceCard

Just LOVE this card – so cute!  If you want to color on kraft (like I did here) try using colored pencils – they give a really nice, deep color on kraft paper.

Supplies:

DCWV: The Foiled Elegance Stack 12x12 and 6x6, The Glitter Stack (Natural) 6x6

Other: Stamps (Some Odd Girl, Hampton Art). Ink (Memento). Punches (Fiskars). Ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon). Washi (Martha Stewart). Medium (Koh-i-noor, Primacolor)

This kit is SOOOO amazing!! Trendy chevron, hearts, buttons, wood veneer pieces and some yummy Amy Tangerine stickers abound in this kit (among SO many other things!). Here’s a list of the included companies:

American Crafts

Webster’s Pages

Studio Calico

Pink Paislee

Echo Park

Advantus

--------------------------------------------------------

And now Day two of inspiration is about to begin!  First up is a little Matchbook Mini, perfect to keep in your purse for those BRAG opportunities!

MatchbookMini

MatchbookMini2

MatchbookMini3

MatchbookMini4

MatchbookMini5

MatchbookMini6

I die-cut a matchbook using a matchbook die.  The little embellishments, stickers, and scraps were just perfect for this album! 

Non-Kit additions: white paper (Recollections), die (Tim Holtz), pen (DuraMark)

------------------------------------------------------------------

GoSomewhereCard

The little Amy Tangerine wood veneer cards are to DIE for!!  I love the layout of this card and the fun wooden button – so cute!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

OhSnapCard

What can I say about this?  OH SNAP! I just love camera images!

Non-kit additions: pen (DuraMark), white paper (Recollections), sentiment (Hampton Art – Ki Memories)

-----------------------------------------------------------

NoWayLayout

NoWayLayout2

I am SO loving grey as a background color lately.  But the thing I really love about this layout is the BLING.  I used a steady hand and lots of liquid glue to make my title and some heart and star embellishments with the glitter from the kit.  I even added some shine to the wooden buttons.

Non-kit additions: circle punch (Recollections), dies (spellbinders), white pen (Recollections), wet glue (Glossy Accents)

----------------------------------------------------------------

PJL-Layout

PJL-Layout2 

Last but not least, I wanted to do a Project Life-inspired page to emphasize the page of journaling cards included in the kit.  If you are a PJLer this kit is simply PERFECT for your weekly layouts!  And, if you’re not a regular PJLer, you can still use the journaling cards to make a pretty and organized page like this one! (Isn’t the bling-y camera so cute!?)

Non-kit additions: pen (DuraMark)  

-----------------------------------------------------------

Are you just bursting with love for Sn@p That?  Of COURSE you are! Well, I know you wouldn’t want to miss out on your chance to WIN this kit OR February’s kit, would you?!?!?
