Eat Cake Long Note in Saffron

Here is another card using the Cutie Pie Designer Series Paper. This time I used a So Saffron Long Note and the Eat Cake set. The circle is half of a 4" diameter circle in Rose Red. The present is stamped on Whisper White and punched out with a 1 1/4" circle punch then mounted on a Scallop Circle punched from Bashful Blue. I finished it off with three Saffron eyelets and some Bashful Blue Taffeta ribbon.

Wild Wasabi Love Note

There is very little stamping on this quick 3"x3" Textured Note Card. The card is Wild Wasabi. I used a small piece of the Cutie Pie Designer Series Paper, the Double Stitched Grosgrain in Pure Pomegrate, and a flower punched from Pure Pomegrate with the 5-Petal Punch. The Jumbo eyelet in the center and a bit of sponging really finishes off the flower. The "For You" is from the Happy Everything set.

Purse Card with In the Spotlight

Wow, it's been a week since I posted anything... sorry!

This is one of the quickest, most fun cards you can make! And, there are so many ways you can decorate your "purse"!

To make this card, take a 4 1/4" by 11" piece of card stock and score it 3 7/8" from one end and 2 7/8" from the other. Mark 3/4" in from each corner on the 2 7/8" flap (along the 4 1/4" side). Fold the 3 7/8" flap in and then cut from the corner at the fold to the mark 3/4" in on the top flap on both sides. This gives you the tapered sides. Fold the top flap and decorate as desired.

For this purse card I used Pretty in Pink card stock with Petals and Paisleys Designer Series paper and In the Spotlight Hostess set. This card was made super quick by punching out the flower with the 5-Petal Flower Punch. Pretty-in-Pink Grosgrain created the purse straps.

Baroque Motifs with Shaving Cream

This is one of the two cards we are doing in my Techniques class this month. I'll be doing the class again on September 24th., email me at bryciak@yahoo.com if you'd like to join us.




For this one I used Baroque Motifs with River Rock and Always Artichoke. I did the shaving cream marbling technique on River Rock card stock using Always Artichoke and Sahara Sand refills. The card is a 4 1/2" square of River Rock with the swirl from Baroque Motifs stamped in River Rock. Then I layered the Artichoke card stock stamped with Always Artichoke ink and then punched squares of the marbled River Rock to layer on top of the Always Artichoke. The center medalion was stamped with Versamark and embossed with gold EP, adorned with a half pearl from the Pretties Kit and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals .

Scrapbook in Saffron

Last night was the last meeting of my current scrapbooking club. This is the spread we did. Of course, everyone else does 12" x 12" but me, but you can get the idea. This layout actually works much better for 12" x 12".

I used So Saffron as the base, with Petals and Paisleys Designer Series papers with the It's All Good, Short Order Alphabet and Short Order Numbers stamp sets. Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive were used for stamping and matting the accents. I also did the "embossed brad" technique with the Crop-a-Dile around the edges. You can read how to do the embossed brad technique at the Stamp Lounge:

I will be starting another scrapbooking club in November, if you are local and interested in joining, email me at: bryciak@yahoo.com.

River Rock and Le Jardin Square

I have been really into the new River Rock color lately, and also making the "long notes" size card. This card is one I made from the leftovers of one of my club's projects (soon to come) and I think I like it more than the long note card now.

It is a 4 1/2" square of River Rock with a 1 3/8" square of Always Artichoke and 1 1/4" square of striped paper from the Le Jardin Designer Series Papers. I punched the flower with new Five-Petal Flower punch and stamped it with the Polka Dot background stamp in Always Artichoke and sponged the edged. The "stitching" is from the All in a Row set and the dimples are "embossed brads", a great use of the Crop-a-Dile that I got at the Stamp Lounge blog. There is a great tutorial on how to do it, so I won't reinvent the wheel. Check it and all the other ideas out at: http://stamploungeprojects.blogspot.com/2007/08/crop-of-love-dile.html

All About U Pocket Card

This is a pocket card that I did some time ago and never photographed. I used the All About U set with Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke and Naturals Ivory card stock. Inks are Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke, and So Saffron for the flower. Brass Hodgepodge Hardware and Eggplant Grosgrain ribbon add details.
