New Kids On The Block?

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink.  Looking at my projects today for A Scrap N Place, you could be forgiven for thinking that there were some new Prima doll stamps on the block (yes, pun intended!)  Nope!  No new dolls, but these projects are created from a 'mash-up' of these stamps.

I just got to thinking how much fun it would be to mix and match these little cuties, and here is what I came up with...

Here is a closer look.  I used some sunglasses brads, the hat and bag are from the Prima 'Boutique' set.  If you look closely you will see that the chain on the bag is cut from the 'Birdhouse Village' die from Memory Box that I used last week.  The paper is by BoBunny 'Primrose'.

My second tag couldn't be more different, even though I used the same stamps.  All papers for this were from my stash.

With hair like that you can bet that this young lady has attitude!

With just a few snips here and there you can make your doll stamps go so much further - let me know what you come up with.

As always, thanks Terri for having me over to your blog to play.  Thanks for stopping by.

More Birdhouses

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink.  Once again I am using the Memory Box die 'Birhouse Village'.

These dies are such fun to play with, I loved mixing and matching the papers for the houses (Bo Bunny 'Primrose'.)  Here are a couple of close-ups.

 I used an embossing folder on the background and cut the grass strip with scissors.

The branch on this card is also a Memory Box die, the flowers are punched using a Marvy punch and the sentiment is a stamp from Stampin' Up.

Thanks Terri for having me over at your blog today, and thank you for stopping by to check out my projects.

Happy 'Bird Day' (and a couple of extras)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink.  Well after a long absence I am finally back to crafting - breaking both of your arms can seriously put a 'kink' in your crafting ability!

This is my first post back as designer for A Scrap N Place, and so I thought that I would spoil Terri with 3 projects!  My first is a very simple birthday card using the new Memory Box die 'Birdhouse Village'.

How cute are those little houses?  The paper I used is from BoBunny called 'Primrose'.

I love the colours in this paper, so I got a little carried away and made two more projects with it.

These little treat holders are made using the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board.  I took at 5" square sheet of paper, punched and scored it at 2.5" on all four sides - just fold, stick in place, and there you have it.  I just added a couple of butterflies (Martha Stewart punch) and a little bling.

The second treat holder I secured with a bow (also made using the punch board) on a 'belly band'.

These are so simple to make, a quick search on Pinterest will lead you to a ton of tutorials that will have you making these up in no time at all.

See you next time.

Joyful Easter

Happy Sunday!

It's Ceal, back to share another Easter card with you. This one uses a die from Memory Box and a greeting from Sweet 'n Sassy.  Love the color combo of purple and green for Easter. I took some green stripe Easter paper from Canvas Corp, layered it on purple cardstock and then placed it on a  cream card base. For the eggs I used the inlaid die technique, I cut the egg out of cream and purple cardstock and then placed the pieces back in the opposite color.  I added some rhinestones to give it some bling. You can find all my supplies at A Scrap N Place, so be sure to stop by for your Easter card making supplies 

Purple Polka Bunny

Happy Sunday!

It's Ceal, here again to share a cute Easter card with you. I love this polka dotted paper from Canvas Corp paired with the Chocolate bunny from Memory Box. I also used the Bubble label from CAS-ual Fridays as a back drop to the bunny.  Terri has all the supplies to make cute easter cards to send to your loves. Stop by A Scrap N Place and check it out.

Every Morning

Happy Sunday!

Thanks for stopping by, It's Ceal here to share another card using the inlaid die technique with the tulip die from memory box.  This Clean and Simple card is so easy to make using this technique, and Teri has lots of dies for you to try it with. The greeting is from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.

Sorry for the not so good photo, I have to get another Ott light, mine bit the dust.

Snow Expected but Spring is Coming

Happy Sunday! 

It's Ceal, here to share another card with you. Well since we are supposed to get a significant amount of snow tomorrow, I thought I would share a springy card. I used the Tulip die from Memory Box and some graphic 45 paper. I love the using the inlaid die technique and I used it today with the tulips. It's very simple to do, just use your die to cut out two different colors and then set the pieces of another color back in the negative space. Next week I will share the card I made with the cream one i cut out.  I added some tulle for a bow to finish my card. You can find all my supplies at A Scrap N Place. 

Tree Tags

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - thank you Terri for having me.  Following on from my card last week made using the Sparkling Tree Tile die from Memory Box, I wanted to share the two tree tags I made.

These are so simple, and can be made with a few scraps that you can co-ordinate with any colour of gift wrap.

You could even turn these into ornaments for the tree.  Terri has a great selection of glittery papers, vellums and a variety of 'bling' that would be perfect for these.

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you next time.

Simple Blue and White Card

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink, as always thank you Terri for having me.  Today I have a simple blue and white card made using the 'Sparkling Tree Tile' die from Memory Box.  I wasn't quite sure about using this die initially, but then an idea struck me and I just had to go with it.

Just simply by adding some glitter cardstock and pearls to the blue and white colour scheme really made this card 'pop'.  Here is a closer look.

The sentiment is embossed in fine detail silver embossing powder.

I also wanted to give another little plug for a fun competition Terri is currently holding in the store with these cute little snowmen tree ornaments.

If you buy one of these kits ($3.99) - bling it up make it your own and take it back into the store to enter the contest.  There is a $25.00 gift certificate up for grabs and a chance to win this cute layout.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my project.  See you soon.

Cabrini Ornament Cards (2 ways!)

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink (can you believe Terri let me back - LOL!)   Well, it is good to be back in blogland after having a break for the month of October - with guests visiting from the UK and a trip to Hawaii, the time has certainly flown by.

I have two Christmas cards to show you using this pretty  ornament die from Memory Box, and the 'Believe' Christmas paper from Authentique.  Here is the first card.

I loved choosing the different papers to piece together the ornament,

Here is the second card - it's a shaker card.

Here is a closer look at the gold sequins in the shaker part of the card.

There area bunch of tutorials available on YouTube for shaker cards, and Terri has lots of pretty sequins for you to play with.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Something's Brewing

Happy Sunday!

It's Ceal here with a fun halloween card made with My Favorite Things Die-namics.

This card was so much fun to make, I started out with a white card base and cut some design paper from best creation. I used the "goop" Die-Namic to cut it at an angle. The fun caldron is also from My Favorite things. I just had to cut out some "goop" in the green glitter paper for my potion. The cute greeting is from Memory box. 

Terri is also using these dies in her class tomorrow and there's a few spots left so come join the fun! 

Glitter Fun

Happy Sunday! 

It's Ceal here to share with you today. My card uses a couple Memory box dies and some of the newest Authentique paper. When I first saw this paper I thought wedding but then I added some glitter and a couple Memory box dies and it became Christmas. 

The glitter I used is called Celestial and it is gold and a touch of ivory mixed in, and it's gorgeous. The company that makes it is Sparkle N Sprinkle, they were at the Expo yesterday and have tons of fun glitter, flocking and embossing powder. The good news is Terri is inquiring about carrying some of their products in the future. 

Cute Cowboy Couple

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink- as always thank you Terri for having me. So I am back playing with the Prima dolls and guy stamps from C Thru The Woods.  I have used 'Becky' the cowgirl and Michael, don't they make a cute couple?

Of course I had to use that bucket die and the barbed wire fence die (both from Memory Box.)

The background paper for this card is from Authentique, and I used papers from my stash to paper piece the clothes and ProMarkers to colour the skin.

Thanks for stopping by today,  See you next time.

Bucket loads of Love

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - as always thank you Terri for having me.  I have a pretty simple card today using a bucket die from Memory Box.  If I am honest I really got the die because I thought that it would be cute to go with the Prima dolls, and then the idea for this cute little card came into my head.

The paper for this is from Authentique, the dies for the bucket and the heart are both from Memory Box, and the sentiment is computer generated,

Hope you like today's card.  See you next time.

Wedding Day Dolls

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - thank you once again to Terri for having me as a designer here.  My final card for this month is a wedding card, using both a Prima Doll Stamp 'Tasha' and one of the guy stamps 'Alex' from C Thru The Woods.

The background paper for this is one that I had in my stash, but Terri has plenty of lovely papers similar to this with script on that would work beautifully.

The dolls are both cut by hand, coloured with ProMarkers (any alcohol markers will do) and the clothing paper pieced.  Here you can see a close-up of the bouquet which I made using a small flower punch and a Cheery Lynn 'Wreath Strip' border die (plus some little pearls of course!)  The dress is cut from vellum and stamped and embossed ('Soft Swirls' background stamp from SU, and white embossing powder.)

At the top I used a couple of Memory Box dies for the hearts & bow and birds.

Thanks for taking a peek at my project today.  Until next time.

Your Kindness Means So Much

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from  Lady of Leisure Ink - as always Terri thank you for putting up with me again!

I have another card today using the 'Mod Flower Border' from Memory Box.  I decided to play around with some acetate and place the flowers in a 'window'.

The paper is from Authentique called 'Favorite', and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.  It is difficult to see in the photo by there really is some acetate in there!

Thanks for stopping by today - hope to see you next time.

Weathered Birdhouse

Happy Sunday!

 It's Ceal here to share with you today.  For my card I used some products that just came in at A Scrap N Place.   Instead of just die cutting the birdhouse of of card stock, I decided to cut it out using watercolor paper and then used my watercolor paints to color it, I love the weathered affect it has by doing the watercolors.  

You can find a complete list of my supplies below.  Be sure to stop by and see all the new goodies Terri has gotten in.

Paper: Authentique (Harmony collection)

Bloom

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - as always Terri thank you so much for having me.

I have 2 cards for you today using the Memory Box Die called 'Mod Flower Border'.  They are both fairly simple cards, but I got to play with some spray inks to make some very pretty effects.

Terri has some fun colours of spray ink available in the store - stop by to check them out. All that was needed to finish off the cards was a little ribbon and some bling!

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.
