Grow - Papercraft Star Challenge 36

Hi again! It's time for another challenge at Papercraft Star! This challenge is so fun because you can create whatever you wish using spring as your inspiration and at least one of these colors!

For this challenge, I created a 12X12 layout. I found some Spring papers I liked and then headed to the computer to find some cute Easter pictures of my girls! After half of a day (I'm not kidding) this layout came to be.

I chose to use the green color out of the challenge colors for my layout. I used green and yellow as my accent colors against the blue background. I chose to use kraft as my base and added a Maya Road kraft envelope to balance the layout. For some additional fun I crocheted the yellow flowers for my layout.

I am not sure why this layout took so long for me to create other than I just wasn't liking it. I kept playing and finally came up with something that I liked. I think it turned out pretty and it just might be one of my current favs! Funny how that works out! 

I hope you will join the fun this week at Papercraft Star!

You have from now until Sunday at 9pm EST to enter your projects and then voting will begin!

A Matching Mini

Hi!! Today I have another project to share for I Brake for stamps! Remember to use coupon code SAVE10REGAN at checkout and save 10% off your order!! IBFS also sells Tim Holtz dies, mounting foam, storage sheets, prima flowers and more!

Now about my project...
Yesterday I decided that my Cute as a Button Gift Bag needed a matching mini album to fit inside!

I used the stamps Miss Rachel in the Garden and Lace Heart by I Brake For Stamps to accent my mini. I again crocheted some flowers and made matching Miss Rachel buttons. All the pages with borders or images have functioning pockets for tags/photos.

What an adorable gift right?

Cute as a Button!

Hi all! I hope you are all having a fabulous day. Most of my day was spent cleaning but I just had to get in my craft room when this little idea popped in my head..."make your own buttons!"

I Brake For Stamps has some of the cutest stamps so why not feature them on a button! I just love the Miss Rachel stamps, so to create this button I used Miss Rachel in the Garden. Remember to use coupon code SAVE10REGAN at checkout and save 10% off your order!

I created these buttons using Shrinky dinks, circles #2 sizzix die, my BigKick, Big Bite, Stamp, StazOn Ink, some BIC permanent markers and a heat gun.

I just love this idea! There are so many possibilities and what better way to match your project than to make your own embellishments!

After I created these I of course had to make something for them to go on, so I made a cute little gift bag that I cut out of kraft card stock on my Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. I added some ricrac trip, a crocheted flower for my button to be attached to and a Round Metal Edge Grungy Prim Tag from KraftOutlet. Oh.. and we can't forget the jelly beans! :)

I am happy to share with you my very first project for I Brake For Stamps today!

I created this Vintage Santa Christmas card using the Santa Collage Stamp set by IBFS. I just love this set! This Santa image is just beautiful and it comes with 3 sentiments!

I used kraft card stock for the base of my card and music note designer paper by My Minds Eye. I added some corrugated cardboard to add some fun texture.

For the image, I stamped the image and then tore the paper around it. I then inked it with Tea Dye and Walnut Stain distress inks and popped it up on dimensionals. As for the embellishment, I crocheted the flower at the bottom and added a vintage button to the center.

You can't leave out the inside... right? I used Very Vanilla card stock, inked it with Tea Dye and Walnut Stain and then stamped my sentiments which are from the same set!!
