Imagine Crafts: Fireworks Color Expressions RECAP

Hello, friends:)


Today I'm sharing a recap of my project over on the Imagine Crafts blog. Click HERE or HERE to check it out:) Click HERE for the video on Vimeo! 

****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching this video! THANKS:)

I used a Tsukineko Fireworks sprays to create some bold color statements on my cards! I actually had an accident with an open Fireworks bottle... but instead of freaking out.... I embraced this spilled ink and used it on these cards! I LOVE it! 

I also used some Paper Smooches stamps/dies and Chickaniddy Crafts Twirly Girly papers for these cards.

I hope that you will stop over on the Imagine Crafts blog HERE to check out my video or leave some love! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:)

Chickaniddy Crafts: Pinspiration Recap

Hello, friends:)


Earlier this week, I was on the Chickaniddy blog--- check it out HERE:) I've been inspired by the Chickaniddy Pinterest July 2014 Mood board!

I was inspired by the first picture with the squares and doodle lines. It instantly reminded me of stitching and so I got out my sewing machine!

I used a couple of Chickaniddy patterned papers from the Date Night collection for my base and center design. I also added some banner flag ends to the sentiment using some yellow striped papers in the Twirly Girly collection. I LOOOOOOOVE those brads and how everything ties together, as well as matches the Pinterest photo! 

This card was super easy to create! 

1. Cut 1 1/4" squares from patterned paper and adhere to card base.
2. Stitch around squares and card base (twice if needed).
3. Add brads to left corner.
4. Create sentiment using stickers and patterned paper. 

EASY!

Chickaniddy Supplies: Paper Downtown (DN14OS03), Love Letters (DN14OS04), Cutest Couple (DN14OS05), Piggy Tails (TG14OS12); Stickers Date Night (DN14EB01); Brads Date Night (DN14EB06)

I hope that you will check out the Chickaniddy Pinterest boards and get inspired!

Chickaniddy Crafts: Mix & Match (VIDEO) post2

Hello, friends:)

***Please click HERE for my Reverse Confetti May color challenge video and post:) 


I've created a special video for you today:) 

I'm sharing how I mix and match patterned papers and embellishments from the Chickaniddy Twirly Girly and Date Night collections!  

Here's the video (****be sure to change your settings to HD before watching): 

I love this card! One of my favorite things to do is mix and match collections! If you would like to try this technique, here are some tips:

•  Get out all of your papers and embellishments from the collections, or look in a catalog or find these pieces online. This will help you get a feel for what you can use on your card, and it could help you find more products that you want to order:) 
• When mixing and matching patterned papers, use only ONE patterned paper as the focus/main design. This main patterned paper should have a busy design or larger image. It should be bold. 
• All of the other pieces of paper will be supporting this main patterned paper. Supporting patterned papers should be softer/muted colors, smaller designs (polka dots, stripes, solid colors).

I really think this  card is perfect for anyone! My favorite pieces of this card include the alpha stickers... and the way the two sentiment stickers match the coordinating papers/embellishments on the top/bottom (perfect placement!!).... and I love that sentiment with the Dance School patterned paper! I love everything about this card:) 

Chickaniddy Supplies: Paper Dance School (DN140S02), Plaid Is Rad (DN140S12), Tea Party (TW140S03), Piggy Tails (TG140S12); Stickers Date Night (DN14EB05, DN14EB02, TG14EB05), Alpha Stickers (DN14EB01, TG14EB01), Enamel Hearts (TG14EB07); Brads Date Night (DN14EB06)

I hope that you try mixing and matching your Chickaniddy papers/embellishments for your next project!
