DCWV – Time With You Card

Hello people! I’m here bringing today bringing you some DCWV love!  I have to admit, the stack I used for this card was one I wasn’t originally excited about, but once I pulled it out and started using it I’ve gone back to it several times!  It is one of my go-to stacks of the moment!

This stack is SO useable because it has tons of semi-solids that work great as background pages!  I LOVE using a distress-y solid base for my cards and layouts!

There is so much great potential for this stack to be matched up with other supplies and stacks of the past because the colors are very happy and ‘right now’.  This card came together so quickly because of the element sheet and the tag sheet that are included in the stack.  I cut the banner and butterfly from the element sheet and the focal image is just a tag mounted on another piece of cardstock from the stack. Easy!

Supplies: The Collage Art Stack (DCWV), Flowers (Petaloo, Prima), Pearls (Doodlebug)

DCWV-Happy Girls Layout

Hello! It is time to bring you another DCWV layout – I really LOVE this layout and this stack is one of my all-time FAVORITES! 



The Sunday Afternoon Stack is just FULL of the trendy colors and images that are so popular in paper crafting right now!  Clouds, kites, washi tape, bingo cards, ticket stubs…it is a DREAM of a stack!

 

All the little elements on the page were cut from the element page in the stack (even the banners are from that page!)  and I was able to use the washi tape paper form the stack in coordination with some real washi – just to add texture!

Here is a close-up of the little embellishments:



Don’t you love the little playing card and the faux postage stamps?!

Supplies: The Sunday Afternoon Stack (DCWV), Washi Tape (My Mind’s Eye “Collectable”, KI Memories “Flashback”, Queen & Co.), Brads (The Paper Studio), Stamp (My Mind’s Eye), Punches (Fiskars “Circle, Scalloped Circle, Cloud)

DCWV – Dry Erase Board

Good day people! Here to bring you another DCWV off-the-page project!
This project came together so quickly because of my (always) favorite parts of the DCWV stacks – the element sheets.



I
 used a dollar store wipe board that had magnets on the back and created the frame with Whimsical World cardstock.  I added the bird, clouds, and flowers from the element sheet and created little banners from some scraps of the cardstock.  Don’t you love all that foil on the flowers!?  It’s very shiny in real life!

Supplies: The Whimsical World Stack (DCWV), Wipe Board (Dollar Tree), Mini Clothes pins (Canvas Corp.)

Hampton Art + Echo Park!

Hello paper people! Just here to let you know that Hampton Art and Echo Park Paper have teamed up for a special feature on their blogs!

Here is my project:

I used the EP Licensed stamp set “Sweet Girl” and Clearsnap pigment ink for my stamping.  I actually didn’t have any of the Sweet Girl collection on hand, so I headed over to JessicaSprague.com and downloaded a Sweet Girl digital paper pack.  I printed four of the sheets at 6x6 and used them on my card!

I used the Bravissimo Slice card to create the award badge and banner, and a Fiskars’ border punch.  I used DCWV cardstock from the Brights Stack to coordinate with the Sweet Girl line.

What would a product feature be without a prize?

Giveaway: For a chance to win either a stamp prize from Hampton Art or one of three collection kits from Echo Park Paper, please continue on the blog hop leaving a comment on each blog. Winners will be selected and announced both on the Echo Park Paper and Hampton Art blogs on Monday, April 29th. All comments are due by Sunday, April 28th at midnight EDT to qualify.
Here is the blog hop list:

Wow Wednesday #1: Heartstring Designs “Gnarly Dude!”

Just a little post today to share some more inspiration using the April Heartstring Designs kit!!

I made two cards this week using the kit:

This one has a simple design, but I think it’s still cute and the simplicity really lets the hip paper shine!

So many of the elements I’ve been using have been cut from just ONE PIECE of the Basic Grey “Hipster” paper!  I’m in love with the buttons used as musical notes and the little transistor radio element is so cute!!

Here is a sneak of the other Wednesday inspiration from the rest of the DT:

 

All the Heartstring Designs kits are SO cute and if you are interested in subscribing, take a look at the subscription page: HERE!

Heartstring Designs April Kit (Day 2)–Gnarly Dude!

Hello there party people! Isn’t 2013 going so FAST?!  Wasn’t it January, like,yesterday!? I can’t believe it is time to introduce you to the April Heartstring Designs kit: Gnarly Dude!

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

If you have been hopping along with us these past few months you know that we usually share all our projects for the whole month, but this time, we are changing things up!  We will now have Heartstrings inspiration for you all month long!

So, on this, the second day of the reveal hop I have a layout to show you!

I have been very interested in dark backgrounds and Project Life-inspired design.  This is a great example of both!  The other sa-weet thing about this layout is how it shows off the papers in the kit! All the papers in this kit go so well together!  I like that many of the themes in the paper (music, viewfinder, floral, retro) “say” things about me thematically that I didn’t have to write in my journaling.

The only non-kit item I used in this page was brown chalk ink.

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

Okay, now you KNOW Ms. Scrappin’ Madge is giving something away for all you good little hoppers out there!  How about an April Heartstrings kit!? You know you want it after you’ve seen all the awesome inspiration on the hop today! So, here is what you have to do to be entered:

1: Comment on all blogs along the hop (today AND tomorrow!)

Heartstring Designs April Housecalls Kit–Gnarly Dude!

Hello there party people! Isn’t 2013 going so FAST?!  Wasn’t it January, like, yesterday!? I can’t believe it is time to introduce you to the April Heartstring Designs kit: Gnarly Dude!

Take a look at the video intro to “Gnarly Dude”!

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

If you have been hopping along with us these past few months you know that we usually share all our projects for the whole month, but this time, we are changing things up!  We will now have Heartstrings inspiration for you all month long!

So, today I have a card for you and tomorrow…I guess you’ll have to come back and see!

Everything here is from the kit except for the adhesive and a little brown ink! I love the page of words and images from the Hipster line – it made this card come together so quickly! AND, the Dear Lizzy Roller Date stamp has some great card-oriented words like “all together”, which I used here.



Love these center step cards!
