Snowflake Take Out Box

Hi Everyone

My name is Michelle, and I am so excited about today's post as it is my first designing for A Scrap N Place.  If you would like to know a little more about me, I would love it if you would visit my blog Lady of Leisure Ink.

I still can't really believe that Terri,  was kind (or crazy) enough to trust me with some supplies, just to see what I could come up with.  Over the next 5 weeks I will show you the projects I made, and if you are lucky you may get a peek at a couple of extra projects (but these may be for a class at the store, so at the moment it's hush hush!)  Here is my first project.


This little box is made from a Silhouette file from the online store - how cute?  I changed up the basic box a little to add a window on either side and a snowflake die.  Here is a list of supplies I used (all available at A Scrap N Place.)

My Mind's Eye card stock - 'Vintage Christmas'
Kraft card stock
Impression Obsession Snowflake Die 024-X
Green Sheer Ribbon
Acetate

I hope you will pop over to my blog and visit with me there.  Thanks again Terri for this opportunity to play with your products.

Until next time.

Michelle

Shimmering snowflakes

It's Ceal here and my computer died and I am posting from my iPad using blogsy and I hope this works. For my card I used some beautiful Authentique papers, impression Obsession snowflake dies and Want To Scrap bling all with you can find at A Scrap N Place.

 

EVIE BARNES...aka... Cathie's mom!

IF...you didn't get to meet "EVIE" you missed a chance to experience a special moment of happiness!
Her lovely smile and fun demeanor was like a burst of sunshine. As long as I was privileged to know
her she always had an instant smile and something fun to say! With all the trials she faced thru-out her 
life she "persevered" stayed independent, focused and strong, always there for everyone and doing
WHATEVER IT TOOK! The fun times we've had with her making cards along side Cathie will be times
we remember and talk about for a long time to come. She would get out her magnifier and carefully make
each card. The funnest thing I remember that will stick in my mind forever: Cathie is hard of hearing and of
course Evie having macular degeneration she would joke...they could be the 3 monkeys if they just had the 
3rd non-speaking person!
WE WILL MISS YOU EVIE!!!
(Evie went home with her Lord November 16th - Her funeral was Saturday November 23rd.)

Present Card

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I had fun creating this little card for this week.  I started out wanting to make a window type card front but after I got the four boxes matted and on the card I thought it would be cute to put the one on the top and have it look like a present.  I added bling to all the corners for a little pizzazz.

(I just saw my bow has been moved as it should be in the middle...got to remember to keep those 6 year old hands away from my projects LOL)

Christmas ornament



My project today is a ornament that can be made rather quickly.  I took 6-2 inch circles, scored the sides so that a little part of them can be bent and then pieced them all together, added in the ribbons on both ends before putting the top & bottom pieces on then embellished with the reindeer die cut.  You can add bling to these or even pictures to add a little personality to them.

Supplies
Designer paper
red paper

Dies
Reindeer die by Memory Box Dies
white yarn
crinkled ribbon
and all this can be found at A Scrap N Place.. an awesome store in Colorado.

A Very Merry Christmas

Hi There! Today's card is on the CAS side, but I love this Frostyville Wreath die from Memory Box. It so dainty and elegant so I wanted to showcase a quick and easy way to create this card. I die cut the wreath twice, stamped the sentiment onto the center of the white cardstock. The next thing is the lay the wreath on top and added some rhinestones to various areas on the wreath. I did score the white cardstock 1/4" in from the edges to create a frame.
A tip on using the wreath die to cut glittered cardstock: use 2 sheets of thick cardstock underneath the clear plate before cutting. It adds just the right amount of thickness to give a deep cut on the wreath and really easy to come apart.




All supplies can be purchased at A Scrap 'N Place:
Papers: Glittered Paper (red), white and red cardstock
Accessories: Zva Creative (rhinestones)
Tools: Scoring tool
