Get Well Soon Card

‘Thinking of You’ Card – IBFS

Hi there and happy Wednesday to you.  Hope you’re week is going good.  First, I just want to say, ‘Thank you’ for stopping by my blog.  I know there are thousands upon thousands of paper crafting sites out there and it really means a lot to me that you take the time to stop by and see what I’ve been creating;  I truly do appreciate it.  Just sayin’! :)

 

Okay, so I have a card today that is a sad card to create, but a very needed type of card.  It’s a Thinking of you/Sympathy card.  :(  One of our son’s college classmates just lost her grandfather and although I don’t know her I know what she is going through.  I just wanted to send her a card to let her know that our family cares.

 

I embossed the sentiment on the front and for the life of me, I couldn’t get a full card picture without the glare.  Sorry about that.

I’ve used My Minds Eye Portabella Road 6×6 paper pad and Stampin’ Up! Not Quite Navy card stock for the papers.  I really like the sentiment for the verse, but also in the way it is written.  I like the flourish around it that creates a sort of frame look.  It made it easy to cut out.  This stamp is called:  Perfect Peace.  Here’s a closer look at it (hopefully with a little less glare).

For the inside of the card, I’ve used 2 different stamp sheets from I Brake for Stamps.  The phrase came from the Inspirational Phrases set, and the butterflies came from the Butterfly Kisses set.    You can order anything off of the I Brake for Stamps website and get 10% off using my personal discount code…it’s SAVE10ROBYN.  It’s more fun to shop and save isn’t it?! :)  Enjoy!

Here’s a little video… (If you are getting this post via e-mail and the video appears as a black box, you can click on the post title to view it).

Thank you again for stopping by today.  You’re super special! xx

Creative Paperclay…

Hi Everyone,

I’ll have 2 posts today as it is Wednesday so my regular IBFS project will post a little later…with some exciting news I might add. :)  For this project, I’m really excited to share my first experience with Creative Paperclay with you.  For those of you who are not familiar with this product, it is a very easy to work with modeling clay.  It comes out of the package soft and ready to use.  It is an air dry clay as well, so no need to bake in the oven.  If you’d like to learn more about it you can read more on the  Creative Paperclay blog or on their website here.

When I was thinking of all of the possibilities for using this fun product, the first thought I had was to create an Autumn project (since it’s my favorite season).  I immediately could see a pumpkin incorporated into one of my projects.  I decided to make a custom gift box with a card on the top.

The box measures 7″x7″x 1″ and the card topper measures 6″x6″.

Of course, I had to add some gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts (35mm Trellis Rose, 20mm Open Rose, 10mm Open Rose, and Summer Blooms).  These are available on the I Brake for Stamps website (get a 10% discount by using SAVE10ROBYN).

I shared the details of how I created the cute little Creative Paperclay pumpkin on the video below.  I truly enjoyed this product and can see so many uses for it.  You will definitely be seeing more of it in my projects. :)

As always, thank you so much for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  Hope you’re Wednesday is a special one! :)

Card for a Friend

Hi Ladies,

I was just looking at my You Tube channel and saw that I didn’t share this video on my blog.  I recorded it on June 26 using my iPhone, so it’s a bit smaller than usual.  Sorry about that.

And here’s the original card once again…

It’s been so busy around here, that I constantly feel like I’m playing “catch-up”.  I have been posting quite a bit lately to try and share things that I’ve been working on but haven’t had time to post here on my blog.  Hope you’ve been enjoying it.

 

Have a blessed day! xx

Happy 4th of July America!

Happy Independence Day America!

(Scroll down to see some recent projects I’ve made.)

I hope each of you that call America your home has a blessed, safe, fun day making lots of memories with those whom you hold dear.  I am so happy to be home for this 4th of July, as I’ve missed being here the past several years.  There’s just a special, indescribable feeling of joy and good ‘ole American pride in the air that has to be experienced first-hand.  I feel blessed beyond measure.

Today, after the parade, our family is heading back out to my parent’s cottage on the lake to spend the day with family.  I love family get-togethers with all of the fun re-telling of special memories, lots of laughs, and making new memories…and of course the cookout, can’t forget the festive picnic fare!  Here’s a couple of pics of 2 of my babies that I took a few weeks ago when we were at the cottage.  Lots of fun times, hope you enjoy seeing them.

I’m looking forward to seeing some fireworks as well.  I love those things…can’t stand the smell, but I love the effect in the sky above the lake.  So purdy!

And here are some projects that I’ve created but haven’t had a chance to post.  I’m not going to take time to explain each one, but would be more than happy to answer any questions about what products and techniques I’ve used, so please feel free to leave a comment with any questions, etc.

Yummy Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers.  Can’t believe my watermark is covering them!  The nerve! lol

There, that’s better! :c) On my youtube channel, I explain what flowers these are from WOC.  You can see my channel HERE.

This card has my favorite Wild Orchid Crafts lace and some sweet 15 mm open roses.

I hope that you are having a wonderful day, wherever you are.  Thanks for stopping by today, I truly appreciate it.  xx

Vintage Sewing Machine

 

Hi Ladies,

I created this thank you card for a sweet elderly lady that just did some sewing for my daughters. The background stamp is the vintage sewing machine from I Brake for Stamps. It’s very intricate and detailed. The card base is Kraft, the patterned paper is from the Mariposa stack, and the sewing machine due cut was cut with my Cricut E2 (I added Rick Candy Stickles to it). The seam binding is from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the true vintage button came from my stash.

Be sure and check out I Brake for Stamps, and if make a purchase, please feel free to use my discount to save 10% off, it’s SAVE10ROBYN

Hope everyone us having a great day! xx
