Scrapbooking Paper

Did you know Stampin' Up is adding new papers for scrapbooking? It's true! We are increasing our line-up to include more 12" x 12" sized paper AND adding more and more colors in the two-tone style! This is perfect for scrapbooking and other paper crafting. 

The two-tone cardstock is a beautiful way to create interest in your projects. You have one side as the primary color and the flip side as a lighter version of that color. When I was with CTMH we had two-tone cardstock for years and I love it! I'm so excited SU is moving in this direction. If you've used it before I know you'll be happy and if you are new to two-tone cardstock you're going to love it!

Take a look in my online store. You can use the filters in the left column once your'e on the paper section.  

 

Masculine Spring Corners Card ~ AHSC 617

Do you find it a challenge to make masculine cards? Sometimes simple is better when it comes to masculine cards. This sketch told me it was perfect for our son-in-law's birthday card. 

Monday's bring a new sketch from our team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Our teams create every other week and I'm on the team that does the odd number sketches. The sketch goes live on Monday and the blog opens for entries on Wednesday. Use the sketch as you like. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your design. Most of all have fun!

As you can see I only tweaked the sketch a little bit for my card. I moved the sentiment and put the stitching on the pattern paper rather than around the edge. But it still resembles the sketch.

What does this sketch inspire you to create? We can't wait to find out.

Shadowed Shapes Card ~ Color Dare #638

 Hello there! Thanks for stopping by to check out our newest Color Dare Challenge. Every Friday we give you a new color palette to work with for creating any kind of paper project you like. 

For this color challenge you must use all three of the colors shown in our graphic. See the graphic for the fine print rules. If you're combining more than one challenge PLEASE make sure you meet all the rules for each challenge.

My card uses our new Shadowed Shapes stamp set from the January- April Mini Catalog. As soon as I saw this stamp set I knew I wanted it because I know it can look great in a variety of ways. 

The arch die cut wasn't quite the same size as the stamped image so I did a bit of manipulating to get it just right. First I placed the die making sure I had the same width around the top and sides. I die cut this first. Now the bottom needs to be cut so it also has the stitched border. Since the bottom was longer than I needed I placed the die to give the same sized width. I ran it through the die cut machine bottom first and stopped as soon as the bottom border cut.
