Inside pop cards for boys

Just popping in today to share a couple of quick and cute cards that were made for Hunter's friends recent birthdays.. 

In the second week of school holidays, Hunter was lucky enough to be invited to 3 separate birthday parties!! :) 

Here are two of the he cards that were given to the special birthday boys - 

I've only started making this style card over the past couple of weeks.. I'm totally loving it! 

Even though so far they have all had a boy theme, I'm looking forward to creating some girly ones soon too!  

I love that no matter how they are embellished, either "over the top" or very simple they still look awesome!!

Quick card challenge

Howdy crafters.. I'm here with just a quick post today to share a card that I made from an envelope challenge from an online card swap group I'm apart of.. 

The pack included a small doiley, White base card and a Chocolate square thingy.. 

The rules are simple, create something using these products PLUS add whatever you wish too.. Must post a photo of the finished project to share with those in the group and the recipient actually gets to keep the card if they wish.. I will probably forward mine on when I find the right theme..

So I added - Distress Ink "Vintage Photo" to the base, a Kaiser stamp and CTMH "chocolate" ink, the light brown cardstock, lace ribbon and twine..  

This took me less than 10min this morning.. Thanks to Brenda at Cards R Us for this fun little challenge.. 

Don't forget there are plenty of updated inspiration on my crafty Facebook page.. Feel free to drop On over to "like" it.. :)

Masculine Box Card

Back again today with my second DT creation for Memory Maze..

I'm truly really excited to share this one with you as I'm absolutely stoked with how it turned out! lol.. 

I had made this card with my oldest son's 12th birthday in mind which is in May... However, I'm so in love with this card that it is now going to be a display piece.. lol..

As usual I started with "something" in mind, but wasn't 100% sure and just added and removed products from my desk as I needed to.. 

I actually cut the Tribal chipboard piece into three sections for this project.. 

The chipboarded was coloured simply with Ranger Distress Ink - Peeled Paint & Bard Door. 

Some Impasto paste with a Memory Maze stencil made a nice feature on each side of the box. 

The paper is actually a piece that I've had in my stash for a LONG time.. "charming boy" by Paper Inklings. 

Hessian, Metal corners from Kaiser, Chain Link and some Black mesh stuff that I kept from some packaging finish the project off perfectly.. 

Don't forget that on a project like this, the back of the card and the products can be seen easily.. So it's always important to flow the embellishments and papers to the back of the box also.. 

Video Tutorial for the Butterfly Mini Canvas

OMGsh, I had such a good response from my first video that I built up the confidence to do another one.. This one is a little different as I had made a mini canvas. Seriously, this thing is tiny.. It's only 60mm x 80mm.

I have made other mini canvas' in the past and have always had so much fun..

I have been wanting to make one using Memory Maze goodies for a while.

White with One - April

It's the first if the month and like usual, I drop by my favourite challenge blogs to see what fun can be had... Unfortunately lately I just haven't had the time to craft much and it's getting me down a bit.. Which of course then effects my crafting mojo when I actually do get some time at my craft table... ANYWAY, today I saw this challenge from White with One and had an idea in my head straight away.. Instead of dwelling, I decided to grab this adorable photo of my youngest son Hunter and have some fun right away.. :) 

So today, I bring you - Such Fun

The colour this month to feature is SAND.. 

But as we all know, Sand is infact many different colours.. Look at the beach and you'll see many tones and shades.. So that was the look / feel that I went for today.. 

The base is made up of two Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays - Clam Bake Beige & South Shore Sand.. The ink used on the stamp and title is VersaMark - Sand Beige..

To highlight this cheeky photo I have added Manor House flowers, Sea Shells, Kaiser bling swirl, bakers twine, a couple of tags and Memory Maze stencil and chipboard title "Such Fun"... 

With the title I actually inked it first, then brushed over it lightly with white gesso and finally made it shine with some Ranger Distress Glitter.. 

This is some of our beautiful piece of paradise we have here in Central Queensland, Australia.. :) 

Thanks very much for dropping by, don't forget to head over to the Ww1 blog to see some great inspiration from their DT and maybe link up your own entry..  Have fun, Toni..

Just Add Ink - 256

Good evening crafty friends.. 

Tonight I'm happy to share with you a simple styled layout based on the sketch from JAI for their challenge this week.... I'm excited because this is the first challenge layout I've done in a while AND Hunter assisted with this one too! :) 

It's fairly simple, but we had a good time making this fun boys themed layout featuring a photo of him and his big brother (my older son, Lane) walking through a beautiful Forest Boardwalk. 

This is the sketch that we were challenged to use.. As you can see, I used multiple indivial squares to make up the tag shape in the middle.. The big doiley round shape has been changed to this large diecut pattern paper.. That is how it originally came from Kaiser, many many years ago.. This is an OLD collection from my large stash.. lol..  We used some twine at the top to create the ribbon bow from the sketch too.. 

The alpha letters are from Bella.. 

The stencil mask I used with the impasto is from Memory Maze.. 

Something else I wanted to share is how we actually got our base AND squares out of ONLY ONE piece of 12x12 pattern paper.. We cut out everything from the middle of the paper that will be covered by the large round piece.. Simple hey! :)  

Thanks very much for joining me.. Please do drop by the Just Add Ink challenge blog some time to link up your own challenge entries! Cheers, Toni.. xoxo

"Perfect" layout

Welcome back crafty friends and family. 

I'm back today to share with you my second Memory Maze DT project from the post that was released yesterday. 

This one is a lovely layout featuring my Aunty and my cousin on her wedding day. 

As you all know by now, I LOVE MAKING MY OWN BACKGROUNDS! 

For this page I had a lot of fun messy time.. lol

5 different misting sprays make up the base page.
Perfect Pearls Mist - Heirloom Gold
Tattered Angels - Glacier

Lindy's Stamp Gang - Hydrangea Blue

Lindy's Stamp Gang - Ocean Breeze Blue

Lindy's Stamp Gang - Clam Bake Beige

 

 It was a plain white cardstock when I started. 

Then I tore there edges and stuck to the Buttercream coloured cardstock, which was then torn and stuck ontop of the Blue cardstock. 

I have distressed and inked all the edges of each paper with a Vanilla mini ink pad. 

The Memory Maze stencil was used with Impasto paste to create some fun and subtle texture. 

There are Manor House flowers, Prima flowers and Butterflies. 

All of the Memory Maze chipboard have been heat embossed and finished with a coat of  Dimensional Magic.  Final finishing touch was some micro beads and a Kaiser Bling swirl cut in two. 

Thanks for dropping by today, I'll leave you with some close up pics of my layout.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping Toni..
