Craft On CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

If you arrived here from Megan, welcome! Read on and hop around for heaps of inspiration.

This hop centers on our very last paper collection from Seasonal Expressions 2: Craft On. This is my favorite collection from 2019 so far!

When I saw this packet, I was immediately drawn to it. I'm not a blue fan (QUEENSLANDER!) and yet this packet was calling my name. I decided to use this stitched striped paper to do a monogram for my home.

I used the immense pile of cardstock scraps from my Scrap Box to cut all of these flowers and leaves. I picked whatever colors looked good on the day, not necessarily the coordinating cardstock colors as listed on the paper's zipstrip! 😉

After lots and lots and lots of liquid glass and foam dots, I had my completed piece of home decor. It's housed in a $10 white shadow box frame from Kmart. The picture is of my husband and I at the very end of our first date. We knew at the end of this date that we weren't looking any more, we'd found each other at last. (All together now... 💖Awwwww!💖)

I had plenty of leftover flowers to use, so I created more things!

These cards are the same design with a couple of simple changes. Gotta love our versatile papers and stamps!

I had still more paper leftover so I created some layouts, including this one.

After a search on pinterest for new card ideas, I saw a different one and replicated it with scraps of Craft On.

To make these projects, I used my basic toolkit plus these materials. Click through or contact your consultant to purchase. Basic Toolkit: (Versamat, Trimmer, Scissors, Ruler, Adhesive Runner, Foam Dots, Stamping Starter Kit), White Card Value Pack, Craft On Paper Packet, Exclusive Cardstocks, Angel Policy Stampset, Liquid Glass, Exclusive Inks, MIFYH v3, and Stitched Flowers Thin Cuts. *Retired/discounted/WSL items

I'd love it if you'd leave a comment below and pin my projects before you pop over to see what Doris has created!

‘Tis the Season CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

🎵'Tis the season to get crafty, falalalala lalalala!🎵

If you arrived here from Megan's Crop Craft Create, welcome. Join in our 'Tis The Season crafting and hop around!

This month's paper packet 'Tis The Season features Candy Apple, New England Ivy, Fern, Sapphire, Charcoal, Linen, and White Daisy. The entire collection is simply beautiful and a very traditional Christmassy feel.

Check out these yummy patterns and designs!

I created a full Christmas album using nothing but 'Tis The Season papers and embellishments. With my new job starting on Friday, my crafting time will be cut back quite a bit. I have a good stack of pages ready for Christmas photos now. :)

This is the cover page for the album.

First layout

Second layout

Third layout

Fourth layout. Originally I had planned to use White Daisy for the page bases and I ran out. I subbed in some Black cardstock instead and poof, I like it!

Fifth layout using the lighter side of Fern for the bases

Sixth layout

End page for the album.

Each page is decorated with the complements and the 2 sheets of PML cut apart pages from the paper packet. If I want to stamp, there's plenty of room to do so after my photos go on.

I've also created some additional projects using my 'Tis The Season scraps and coordinating items.

Postcard Perfect - National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop

If you arrived here from Megan's Crop Craft Create, welcome. Join in and hop around!

This hop features our beautiful Postcard Perfect collection. The bright florals and tropical prints are simply gorgeous and very easy to craft with. Simply seeing this packet on my studio table makes me smile. :)

Paper Packet $23

Stampset $27

I used the gift card box thin cuts along with Postcard Perfect paper packet and Stampset to create these gift boxes. The boxes are made from the ombre and floral papers. The stamped images are all fussy cut and stuck down then embellished with some blingy bits. Inside is a message and a gift for the recipients.
