Freebie Alert!!!! I Designed A New Digi Paper Just For My Followers! :)

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Each time I have a blog candy give away, I always feel bad because there can only be one winner and I am so thankful for ALL of my followers!

I have been having so much fun designing digital papers that I decided to do one just for my followers!

I used lots of bright pretty colors so you can team it up with lots of different colors of cardstock.

I made it in both 6" x 6" and 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" sizes.

How do you get them you ask?

Simply become a follower (if you aren't already), leave me a quick comment below, and EMAIL ME HERE.
*** Please make sure and email me at the above link and not my regular email. I have set this one up just for the freebies so I can stay organized. Thanks! ;) ***

I will send the zip file to you as soon as I see your email and check that you have become a follower and have commented below. 

All I ask is when you use my freebies, that you give me credit for them and link back to my blog when possible.

Please do not share the files but please send people back here so they can get a copy for themselves the right way. ;)

If I get lots of takers, this might just have to become a regular thing on my blog. I LOVE sharing! :)

Please spread the word to your friends, on your blogs, Facebook or where ever! The more... the merrier! :)

Thanks so much!

I truly do appreciate you all and look forward to seeing what you create with my freebie!  :)

Sharing Another of My Cards From The "Coloring Techniques For Card Making" Book

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

It's been almost a year since I was involved with the amazing Annie's Attic book called "Coloring Techniques for Card Making" and I have yet to share all of my cards that were in it! We were asked to wait 6 months before sharing on our blogs but I kind of forgot so here is another. I will post the remaining cards very soon, so keep checking back! :)

This card is titled "We Heard The Buzz!" (because of the sentiment on the inside) and can be found on page 38 of the book. 

I would love to share the card recipe with you but you will have to check it out in the book.  ;)

It is available online or paperback.

20 Days of Holiday Sharing @ 2 Peas Guest Designer Project

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Today's project was chosen as one of the "20 Days of Holiday Sharing" projects over @ 2 Peas In a Bucket.

I am honored to be the "Featured Guest Designer" today!  ;)

I made this wine bottle tag for a hostess gift. One of my aunts holds an annual Christmas party for our extended family and we always try to take a little something for her and my uncle.

This year, I decorated a bottle of my favorite wine with foil wrapping paper and a handmade tag.

 Yummy wine but it made a much nicer presentation with the wrapping! :)

The cardstock is Heavenly White, Smooth Silver Lustre, and Pearl Black Glossy from the Paper Temptress.

The beautiful ribbons are Royal Blue Shimmer,White Diamond Satin, and Silver Snowflake Grosgrain from Really reasonable Ribbon.

The stamp is from the "Forest of Trees" set @ Flourishes.

Head on over to Two Peas and check out the other holiday projects!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hugs,

I have been putting together the card kits and goodie bags for the class that Tanya, Brooke, and I will be teaching next weekend at the Memory Expo 2010 in Topeka, KS.

You just don't think about how much time it takes to do 72 kits!

The work part is over and the fun part starts next weekend! I am excited!

Here is what is all in the card kits.

Stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps.

Paper by The Paper Temptress.

Ribbon by Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Here is a shot of all of the completed kits.

Here is what is in the goodie bags:

Book from DRG/Annie's Attic.

Even more ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Poor Girl's Ribbon Organizer :)

Tweet

Hello All!

I have spent a lot of my day trying to get my craft room organized again. I thought I would show you what I did with my loose ribbon. I literally have hundreds of rolls of ribbon that are organized in a different manor but since I joined Really Reasonable Ribbon's design team, I have lots and lots of yardage pieces. Now I do have one of those plastic boxes with all of the holes that you pop the ends of ribbon through, but I keep getting it tangled when I pull ribbon through.

My solution was to sort by color and or style and attach like ribbons together by running a large safty pin through the ends, attaching a tag reminding me what company they came from, then closing the pins around a tiny tension rod.

Now I can see all of my ribbons at a glance.

I will cut the ribbon off as I need it but will always save a small piece on the safety pin so I know what I need to re-order. Is that smart or what?? :)

I did mine in one yard lengths and if the ribbon was longer, I just looped it back up through the pin to keep from cutting it into pieces.

Don't have enough ribbons to do this? I know a GREAT place to go shop for some!

Check out Really Reasonable Ribbon's awesome selections!

Hope you liked my little tip!

If so...please give me a "HOLLA"!

Hugs,

True :D

Faux Glass Flower Bookmark

Tweet

Hello All!

Today I tried a new technique for making flowers.

These were hand punched from designer paper, detailed with Tombow markers, shaped, then coated with UTEE. I love the effect I got. If you click on the above photo to enlarge, you can get a really close look. The centers are yet another technique called "Faux Brads". I will gladly do a tutorial for both techniques if anyone would be interested.

I used Clear Dollar Stamp's "Heartfelt Sentiments" set to add an olive green watermark to the tan DP to pull some of the leaf color in. I also used a sentiment from the same set. It simply says "You're Fabulous".

That gorgeous, gorgeous  ribbon page marker at the top is a sample that Bonnie from "Really Reasonable Ribbon" sent me to play with. It is her "Wine Velvet Ribbon" and it feels scrumptious!

I entered this project in the following challenges:

Pile it On  ~ Get Creative with Cardstock

Practical Scrapper  ~ Use Flowers

Crafty Creations ~ Add Shine to Your Creations

Fresh Brewed ~ Anything Goes

I Did It Creations ~ Use Dimension

Bunny Zoe ~ Nice and Girly

ABC ~ X-tra Dimension

Digi Doodle ~ Anything Goes

Corrosive ~ Flowers

Crafty Creations ~ Shine and Bling

Crafty Ann's ~ Embossing

Sew Many Cards ~ Anything Goes

Caardvarks ~ Embossing

Speedy The Cat ~ Flowers
Paper Take Weekly ~ In Stitches
My Time To Craft ~ Zig Zag
I also entered it in WT276 and IC238 Split Coast Stampers challenges

Hope you will all check out the sneak peeks that are going on at Clearly iStamp right now. 

 I will have a peek to show you tomorrow done with one of my stamp illustrations. Hope you will come back and check it out!

I would love a quick comment to let me know if you like the flowers and if you would like me to work up a tutorial to share.

Hugs,

True :D

A Big Bountiful Batch of Beautiful Butterfly Birthday Cards :)

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I have been asked by quite a few people if I would make some less expensive cards that can be mailed with a standard stamp. I will also be attending some events and craft shows later in the year and have decided to take some cards to sell with me. This is my very first "batch" of cards.

I used Clear Dollar Stamps super versatile "Birthday Celebration" set, designed by Lori McCroskey.

Card Recipe:

CDS STAMPS USED: Birthday Celebration

CS/PAPERS: Basic Grey's "Green at Heart", Flourishes white, Stampin'Up's Certainly Cellery

INK: Staz-On

TECHNIQUES: watercoloring, stamping, sewing, dry embossing

SPECIAL NOTES: I forgot to punch holes in the scalloped boarder before I attached it to the card so I made the dots with acrylic paint....where there is a will....there is a way! 

I would just LOVE it if you would leave me a comment!

Hugs,

True :D

DT call for my friend Shawne's new digi shop "Studio 313 Exclusive Creations"

Tweet

HI!!!!

My friend Shawne Arnold does the cutest drawings and when she asked if I would like to play with one of her brand new digis.....I just had to! I wanted to help spread the word that she will be opening shop in a few weeks and is on the hunt for her first ever design team! It is sure to be a fun time for the lucky girls that get picked. Shawne is a real sweetheart and is very talented. She already illustrates for Clear Dollar Stamps but is branching out on her own now too. You can see some of her images HERE at the store to get an idea of what kind of cute stuff she creates.

If you would like to apply, head on over to her blog where she will have the details and you can pick up a free digi to use for your try out.

I will be a reoccurring special guest DT. I would love to be full time but already have tons of irons in the fire on top of a full time REAL job. LOL!

I did this card to show off her "Easter Egg Hunt" digi. Isn't the ruffled covered hinny the cutest? :)

Please make sure and leave me a comment before you go visit Shawne and make sure you tell her that True sent ya!

Hello Everyone!

I just found out about a really AWESOME blog hop that I just HAVE to join in on!

Here is an excerpt from Lisa's blog...

"WHAT IS ONE WORLD ONE HEART?

I created this event in 2007. The  idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong."

Please go to Lisa blog to read more and to join in!

I am #458 on the magic carpet ride! ;)

I hope you will all join in on the fun. Every participant has a give-a-way so you could win all kinds of prizes just for taking a fun tour and meeting some new friends!

My offerings are one of my handmade cards and whatever extra scrappin' goodies I can fit in the box. I chose this sparkly little fairy because there is just something "MAGICAL" about fairies! There is also something magical about surprises...that's why I am not telling what the fun extras will be! ;)

Win This Card...

Plus some crafty surprise goodies!

All you have to do is leave a comment below. I would also love it if you became a follower if you aren't already! I will put you in for a second chance if you do follow!

Please remember to leave the link to your blog or an email addy so I can contact you if you win my card and goodies.

The ride ends Feb. 15th so I will be posting the winner then.

Thanks again for dropping by! Hope to see you somewhere on the ride!

Verve "Thanks So Much" Fun and Simple Card

Tweet

Hello!

I am playing along with the mojolicious girls over @ Mojo Monday today. The sketch for this week is sooo cool!

I used some very pretty K&Company "Blue Awning" DP and some Core'dinations CS. The focal point is stamped on 140lb. cold-pressed European watercolor paper. I stamped the images by coloring directly on the stamps with my Tombo marker and stamping. I re-stamped with VersaMark and added some irridescent clear embossing powder. I then laid my pretty Spellbinder's Impressability over the image and used it as a stencil to sponge on some ColorBox Olive ink to add some interest to the main image background.

I then added some tiny little zig-zag stitching and a flower attached to a round Nestability circle. A little glue and some pop dots and voila'...a nice and easy "thank you" card!

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

2 Red Bananas - "Think Round" ..create something with curves.

I used round Nestabilities, rounded off the corners of the sentiment panel and there are curves in the DP.

Corrosive - Distressing

I distressed around the main panel and the circle that the flower is on.

Creative Inspirations - Distressing

I distressed around the main panel and the circle that the flower is on.

Creative Card Crew - Distressing

I distressed around the main panel and the circle that the flower is on.

Belli - Use Glitter or Rhinestones

The DP is glittered and I added glittered embossing powder to the sentiment

YNS Challenge - "Embossing"

The DP is embossed, I used embossing powder on the sentiment, and the circle below the flower is dry embossed

Kitchen Sink - "A Stitch in Time" use stitching

I did ;)

Cupcake Craft - "Going Girly"

I used glitter and a flower for my "girly" look.

Crafty Angels - "Can You Feel It?" use texture

I have TONS of texture! ;)

Creative Inspirations - New year...New product

My flower is new!

ABC - "L" is for...."Layering"

My final CDS Jan sneak - "Kisses and Cookies"

The set is called "Kisses and Cookies" and it is another one illustrated by Laurie Wilson. Isn't it sweet!?!

I stamped the images in Versa mark and embossed them with gold and silver before I ever started my card. I was going to pick which image I liked best for the card but could not choose so....I did two!

By using browns and golds, I have illustrated that this set does not have to be a "Valentine set" although it is AWESOME for that! Just check out all of the pretty pink and red cards some of the other DT's have done.

My Christmas cards are "ALL WRAPPED UP" LOL! Flourishes ATC (FTTC47)

Tweet

Hello!

Hope you have your Christmas shopping "All Wrapped UP". LOL!

Mine is finally! I procrastinated soooo badly this year.

Over @ Flourishes, they are doing their  Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC47).

They ask that we make an ATC (Artist's Trading Card). They are cute little 21/2" by 31/2" cards that you can trade, use as gift tags, or mount to a card base to make a quick greeting card.

This will be my last Christmas project of the year so it is very fitting that I used their "All Wrapped Up" set.

I is a beautiful set with lots of pretty packages in all sizes. This card is tiny so I used one of the smallest stamps.

I stamped extra images of the packages so I could pop them then added some sparkle with my Stickles that I love soooo much! The green cardstock is Bazzil Canvas and the gold id from DCWV Metallic stack.

The image was stamped with Staz-On  black and the edges were colored with Colorbox Cats eye in Lipstick. The image was water colored. The ribbons were colored with a Sharpie Gold marker.

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Stamp With Us - Christmas

Creative Card Crew - Anything Goes!

Stamp Something - Holiday Somethings

Cupcake Craft - Celebrations
