Lots of new BasicGrey kits!

I love the kits that Basic Grey has put together- it's so nice just to grab one of these and go to a crop.  All I have to take is the coordinating pictures and all of the "thinking" is done for me! Sometimes it's nice not to have to think. Right!?? ;)

This adorable album kit features new Kioshi papers

And we have two new card kits in stock:

Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety ~ Dig In!!!

Okay ~ I admit, I don't garden.  I hate to get my hands dirty.  But I absolutely adore anything with fruits and veggies on it.  Dishes, aprons, botanical prints, I am so there!  So when the Cosmo Cricket~ GARDEN VARIETY MINI DECK (6x6) arrived in the mail, I flipped and couldn't wait to dig in.  When I saw the matching Ready Set Chip! Chipboard Stickers, I knew I had to scrap these pictures of my daughter in her very first bikini!


With this layout, I wanted to show you that you can do a great 12 x 12 page with 6x6 papers.  The background for this layout is  12" Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock.  I then cut a strip of Bo Bunny Double Dot Cardstock 3 inches wide, used the Fiskars Threading Water border punch and laid the strawberry chipboard sticker on top.  The flowered paper (this pattern is called Bloomers) is cut with a scallop and tucked under the border.   I mattted the picture in a bit of red cardstock  and added the gingham ribbon and bow.


The strawberry is cut at 6" from the Cricut Paisley Cartridge. I added the cut out of my daughter and the chipboard strawberry flourishes on either side.


Another gingham bow and Ranger Stickles on all the chipboard pieces add a little zing to this layout!


I cut the two tone title with the Pooh Font cartridge, added some journaling and this layout was done!  Sometimes, we get so complicated with our layouts, but this beautiful paper stands on its own and calls for simplicity. Remember 6x6 pads can be used for so much more than cards!  That said, I had to do a super simple card too!   


This card literally took me 5 miutes to create!  Bo Bunny Double Dot mint (cut at 5.5 x 8.5) , folded in half and corners rounded make a great base for this card, two strips cut at 3 inches and 1 inch, adorable chip board vegetables and a salutation stamped from the Clear Dollar Veggie Stew Stamp set complete this easy card.  Gotta go and get back to work in my "paper" garden!

365 Degrees is just plain hot!!

Pink Paislee has come up with some beautimous papers in their 365 Degree collection and the 365 Degree Deluxe kit available in the Shoppe just makes your mouth water.  I just received some of the new kits in the mail yesterday, started and finished this up today. 




The porch scene (stamp by Inkadinkadoo) is colored with Copic markers that I also found in box yesterday.  What a happy mail day!! 




The envelope was made using one sheet of the double sided paper from the kit, along with the lace and Prima blossom.  I added shimmer to the flourishes and blossom using Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz also found in the kit. Information on the envelope tutorial can be found here, on my blog.




Now Mom-in-Law's card is done and complete.

Wrapping up with Prima Pastiche

Hands down, this has been the most beautiful collection of Prima papers for me.  My layout count so far with the Pastiche Deluxe kit is 3 layouts and one card.  You were able to see one of my layouts a couple weeks ago, here.   So here are 2 more and a card.




The flowers and dark felt branches are included in this kit.  The circle has been distressed several ways.  First, by covering it in Crackle Paint, coating with Gold Acrylic Paint and then distressing with a hole punch around the edges.  The scalloped border is made using layered cut out circles, with inked edges (Peeled Paint Distress Ink used here).  I finished up with Gold painted title letters and then Gold dots around the border edges (using the back of a pencil eraser).




This layout is quick and simple.  Everything but the rub on butterfly in the journaling spot is from the kit.  I used the Arch Lattice Martha Stewart border punch for the brown photo mat.  The included ribbon made a great bow for the top corner and pleated finishing along the bottom of the mat.  I picked up the Prima packaging material from the embellishments and cut it into a journaling spot with inked edges (Vintage Photo used here).  Added layered flowers with Pebbles, a rub on butterfly and it's done. 




Finally, I used the leftover scraps to create this Birthday Card.  The patterned paper is from the kit and I accented with my solid cardstock stash.
