Book fold card

 Book Fold card adapted to add little extra design element. :) 

I was so excited lately to receive the name of one of my favourite swap partners for this project.. 
I knew straight away that I wanted to do something special for her beyond the normal criteria for the swap.. So I added a couple of vellum pages inside, decorated the middle one and also added a pattern paper panel on the very back cover.. All very simple additions, but definitely make the card pop.. 

I used a very old Kaiser - Flower Shoppe collection.. 
As you know, I have made many projects with this collection and am slowly now starting to come to the end of the scraps.. lol

This is the book fold card as per normal basic swap criteria.. 

I made this card custom for my cousin who is expecting a special little girl soon.. 

I used a baby collection from Echo Park. 

Let me know what you think! 

Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

Christmas card mail-out

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This year, I was inspired by a fellow Sassy crafter Shannon to try something a bit new for card bases.. I loved it so much I'm actually going to give it a go with trying to adapt it to a Scrapbook layout too.. :) 

Anyway, it's such a fun technique of cluster stamping in a sort of cross in the middle of your plain cardstock, then cutting that cardstock up into the 4 sections sized for the card toppers. 
I got a little carried away and didn't exactly follow the concept of a cross though.. oops.. lol.. 

I actually ended up with 3 different stamp set designs (only two are included below, sorry)
I stamped with a solid Black, a Coral ink and Forrest green ink to coordinate best with the OUTBACK EVE collection - Kaisercraft. The added a little Gold ink for the stencil that matches with the gold glitter cardstock I added as a topper. I finished off the cards by inking all edges with a Golden Black ink so it wasn't as harsh as the stamped black images. 

In total I made 24 of these cards... And most of them have found their way to the USA and one to the UK... 

We would like to wish all of my crafting friends and family a very Merry Christmas, I hope you all have a lovely and wonderful day fill with great moments that will become memories cherished and a bright New Year coming ahead. Toni, Lane & Hunter.. xoxo

Outback Eve - striped based layout

 Last month within an online craft group, we started to share sketch layouts for us to complete "just for fun"... I love this concept as it's much more enjoyable.. I tend to "enter" something if there is no winner or prize.. I'm so non-competitive, I'd just rather not take part.. So this JUST FOR FUN idea is perfect.. :) 

Anyway, the sketch is below.. It features loads of long thin strips for the base. Instead of cutting into a new paper collection, I decided to dig back into this OUTBACK EVE collection - Kaisercraft as I had plenty of 12" scraps leftover. I cut a bunch of them into half inch strips and left them at 12" long until I torn each one at the top & bottom as I was planning them for placement. 

I did a quick dab of smooshing with the pink ink and then a dabble of soft stenciling with green ink, to coordinate with the colours of the collection.. 

As you can see, I did change the photo mat sizing up a little bit, just cause I know I won't use that many photo on a layout.. I'm very much in awe of people that are able to get so many on a layout, it looks amazing, but my brain just can't seem to put them together.. ehh..

Double Easel cards - White Christmas

 Christmas cards for teachers sorta just don't happen once the kids are in High School.. Which I find super sad and disappointing.. 
I always offer my boys to make some cards for any of the teachers that they want to gift something to.. Lane gave a couple and the teachers were always so appreciative.. 

This year, I was so glad that Hunter choose two of his teachers to gift a card and some scratchies to. 

I used the Kaiser - White Christmas collection that was released only a couple months ago.. 

I decided on a double easel design with plenty of mats for layering and cluster embellishment on the larger panel for the topper feature.. 

Also put on a small Tim Holtz shaker dome for that extra cute element on the front smaller panel. 

Inside the card is a pocket that holds the scratch-its..

Joy fold card with extra flips

 For a recent swap we were given the freedom to choose a fun fold of our own to send to a partner.. One of my fav folds is actually a Joy Fold.. I wanted to change it up a bit extra, so added some flips to it too. 

I am absolutely in love with how this turned out..

Box cards

 With inspiration for an upcoming BOX CARD swap, I threw together a card (at the bottom) using the measurement specs in the criteria, but I really didn't like it much, so I made it smaller and adding extra boxes.. I'm definitely more happy with this one. 

Using Kaiser - A Christmas Tale collection to create a card that I will be sending off to personally to beloved family members.. 

It folds flat to 5X7" for easy postage.. 

They are so easy to make, it is literally folding open ended boxes, then gluing them on top of each other..

First box card made for an upcoming swap..

Wedding card Shabby / Garden

I recently put together this beautiful floral styled card for a custom order wedding card.. 

Although I absolutely enjoyed the process of putting it together, I actually just didn't love it for the couple that I was making it for.....  ------ SO I made another.... Keep an eye out for CARD 2.. 

Anyway, for this one I used beautiful papers from Kaiser, rub ons from 49&Market, load of flowers and sprays, gauze, chipboard and even make a matching box since the card was too big for any envelope I had in my stash..
