Hope you had a great weekend. Were you busy or did you get to relax? And did you watch Downton Abbey?! To wait till next year for Season 4 is going to kill me! I just may have to watch 1-3 again in the meantime. And throw in a little Larkrise to Candleford for good measure.
As promised, I'm back with a couple more Crazy for You projects. On this first card, I pulled out my Silhouette again and cut this little cupid. It's a WRMK shape. You can get it HERE. I love his chubby tummy. And remember all those little text hearts I had left over from cutting that background piece last week? Well, I used some of them here:
I used a bit of red Stickles on a couple of places and some crystal Stickles on the wing (not sure where that photo went but you can click the photo above to enlarge and get a better look).
Secondly, you know us paper crafters like to use every bit of paper and not waste an inch! So I made this card right here:
These little snippets of colorful goodness are actually from the branding strips at the bottom of each piece of patterned paper.
I trimmed the small patterned strips into banners and attached them to the stamped card base. (NOTE: the hearts are clear stamps that you can buy with the Crazy for You collection).
The words are the names of each pattern. I just trimmed them out, rounded two corners with my 1/8" Corner Chomper. After everything was adhered into place, I pierced holes all around and then used my WRMK gray twine to add some fun texture. The hearts were punched from WRMK white textured card stock, then I added crystal Stickles. Oh yeah, I inked all the edges with gray ink.
The purples in this collection just remind me of grape juice, which reminds me of eating breakfast as a little girl. Grape juice was my favorite!
I've been working on a couple more projects with the Crazy for You collection, so check back soon!
Very cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI like the one using the branding strips. I have done that and used a fancy punch at each end and used that as a border on cards.
