Ballerina Slipper Dreams

BALLERINA DREAMS!

My Grand-daughter is loving her Ballet class. She is dreaming of her day dancing away. So when I saw SVGcuts new CLARA'S CHRISTMAS EVE SVG KIT right away I saw the Ballet Slippers and had to make them. I also felt that  Carta Bella’s Paris Girl paper really fit the girly girl style I was looking for. So my eCraft and I went to work with some adhesive and ribbon and made some sweet slippers.

 

 

The richness of  Carta Bella Paris Girl Paper Package really made my creation come to life.These papers produced a rich looking surface on my slippers. I can’t wait to send them off to her. I know she will hang them in her room and think of Grandma every time she sees them. I love her so.

Please be sure to check out Carta Bella and their beautiful papers!

Have a great week,

Candy Twist Card

I was in great need of a card and decided to try my had at cardmaking. I  am in  love with Carta Bella Paper. My Craftwell machines, both the eCraft and the eBosser produce such great results with the paper as well. I love the eBosser and its clear and professional embossing.

I used the Peppermint card from SVGcuts’s Clara’s Christmas Eve Kit. I really love making it. I used Carta Bella’s Alphabet Junction paper collection.

 

 

 

I used a lighter palette of color to achieve my card. I love look of it and hope to make many of them. 

I love the pattern on the twist of the “mint”. The eBosser makes this process so easy on my hands. Many of my friends have asked about its cutting ability and if it would cut a variety of materials. I cheerfully answered YES.

 

 

I used a button for my center embellishment and you will notice a star in the center of it. Well that is a soda can that I used a thin metal die to cut in my eBosser. It is so cool. Did you see the secret message on my card?? Well it is right there…..see the hugs and kisses on the red swirls. I am so glad that Carta Bella has this sweet paper.

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Trick Or Treat for Later….

Trick or Treat for Mom, Dad Or all those over the age

So much of the holiday focus is on the younger set, but many adults also enjoy the holiday as well just in a little different way. So I have made a gift for the hostess of the Halloween Party that I will attend.

It is a Blood Red Wine!

I was trying to come up with a special hostess gift and this one feels like it meets my  requirements.

Supplies:

• Bake ‘N Shrink from Printonit.com
• CraftwellUSA’s eCraft Die Cutting Machine
• Zing Heat Tool from CraftySteals
• Red Ribbon
• Acrylic paints
• bottle of wine!
• I created the SVG (I will post a link to a free download later)

I used my eCraft to cut out the fangs and also used my eCraft to make the holes for the ribbon in them. It was a quick and easy decoration for a neat gift.

My cut out of Heat Shrink. I love this stuff. It can make so many things.

I hope your Halloween is BOOtiful as well!

Best Debi!

A Little Fall Artwork!

I am so fortunate to be able to bring paper crafting to a group of people who love any craft and art work more than you would imagine. Fridays is my go to Crazy Crafting with Debi at the local Senior Center. We make all types of paper and other crafting projects. So when decorations were needed we decided to meet the task!

This is not your usual wall art but actually a “work” of art or at least the premise of…

This was made with  SVGcuts’s acorn and squirrel from their Acorn Autumn set. I used construction paper from the Dollar Store for the large leaves and poster board for the backing. I used  WorldWin Papers made some cool looking acorns and also my buddy, Squirrel. I  used my Craftwell eBosser to emboss the pattern on the acorn and also on my squirrel’s hat. I was so excited to use  inks and acrylic paints to push the drama of my background. The brown background accents you see on the backing are acrylic paints put down with  watercolor brush strokes.

We have about ten more to go and I am hoping to send some photos to my blog when we finish! I want you to see the fun we have had!

Happy Fall to All!

Royal Spin!

Happy Halloween with a Royal Spin!

Well Halloween is almost upon us and is easily spotted with all of the pumpkins, witches and bats out there. I love a traditional spooky Halloween holiday but having a Grand-daughter who is enamored with Princesses makes it hard.

So in honor of my “Princess” I made a “glass” slipper to hold some of her candy treats for the Halloween Eve!

Supplies:

• Craftwell’s eCraft Die Cutting System
• Craftwell’s eBosser (the coolest embosser out there)
• MY FAV Worldwin papers De-Lights Champagne Bubbles (it is a Holographic paper)
• eCraft Diecutable Color Mates! (I used pink for the inside, and yellow for the pompom on the shoe!
• Sizzix Texture Plates with hearts as the focus for the lining of the shoe.
• Quick dry glue
• Xyron taping gun
• ultra fine glitter for the embellishment of the pompom
• SVGcuts Witches’ shoe

I used my Craftwell eCraft to cut out four of the Witches’ shoe files.  Two out of the beautiful WorldWin De-lights metallic paper (Settings pressure 6, no tabs, and one cut) and then I selected a pink from the eCraft Diecutable Color Mates!  I used my eBosser to make the texture on the inside of the shoe and also on the sole of the shoe. I love this machine it works so nicely and my hands love it. I am working on a “letterpress” method for printing my Holiday Cards currently.

The shoe went together so easily. I lined it with the pink cardstock to give it a richness. I am very happy with the crispness that my eCraft cuts the WorldWin cardstock. I also used a ribbon to use to embellish the “buckle” strap.

I hope that you enjoy my offering please leave me a comment on your child’s favorite costume and tradition for Halloween.

Rye’s Glass Slipper!

I can’t wait till next week’s project. Have a wonderful week.

WorldWin Wins My Heart!

WorldWin Treasure Box

I am in love, I am in love with WorldWin Papers. I can’t believe how beautiful they are. These papers lend themselves to a beauty that doesn’t have to be overly embellished to create a treasured outcome!

I delight in knowing that I created a beautiful little box that looks like a metal box and is paper. I love the Fern Vellum and can’t wait to purchase more! This is so much fun to use!

Supplies:

WorldWin Petallics! in a beautiful Copper Ore.

What a beautiful sheen it has!

WorldWin Floral Vellum in the Ferns design!

My CraftwellUSA eCraft Die Cutting machine! I used a setting of 8 with a cardstock stabliizer. No tabs with this one!

I also used WorldWin solid eCraft Diecutable  Color Mates!

I cut a beautiful little box out of my Petallics paper. I used a little Studio 9 pigmented ink to “age” the “metal” of my treasure box.

I used the beautiful Vellum to make a underlayment for my box top. I love the solid ferns placed in-between the layers of vellum. They really enhance the fern effect of the vellum

I love the way this project has come together. I know that it is the great supplies that I was able to use!

These great papers can really help make your projects “great treasures!”

I wish to send my thoughts and prayers to those wonderful people who have suffered great loss in the terrible weather event caused by Hurricane and tropical storm Isaac. I was as many of you personally touched by this and know that we will come back from this tragedy. Know that you are in my heart!

Prayers and thoughts for all!

Here we go! Here is an idea for a locker or desk

In our family and also our friends’ families as well photos rule the day. Our young people love taking photos of each other and displaying them as well. We are always looking for ideas to find ways to make picture hanging simple, fun, and inexpensive, but still looking so good!

So I have come up with a quick photo frame that can be hung in the locker or displayed on a desk with room permitting.

This was so much fun to make I used chipboard from cracker and cookie boxes to make my frame. I love the idea that the photos can be easily slid out or in for a change of focus. I also have an easel for quick standing or you can use a 3M Command strip for hanging in your locker! You can change the photos as you want!

My Craftwell eCraft made a great “postage” stamp frame for my photo holder. It was cut with a pressure of 7 and multicut 2. I cut two pieces and used a water based glue to attach them to each other. I then painted it with acrylic paint.

I used the chipboard again to make a quick easel to stand my frame. Just remember you can also use the command strips as well.

I love how easy and fun it is to make embellishments for my projects as well. Here I used the Craftwell Pro Software to weld my numbers together, then I added a shadow for a dramatic and yet fun embellishment!

I also used a folder to give a slight bit of texture to my Bazzill cardstock frame. I used a photo protector to make the “envelope” which protects the photos from scratches and such.

Just think of how much fun and how many “frames” can fill the inside of a locker door. I am looking forward to helping out with some cute holiday frames and also to share my “stuff” and see what my young friends come up with!

Now just remember that there are other sites to hop along to, your next hop is
