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. 

Prima, Prima, Prima...we just can't get enought of Prima here at Lil' Lambs Boutique!!  Tammy sent me THIS beautiful Prima Kit, Flights of Fancy.  Seriously...*drool*  And I sooooo wanted to just stare at it all day...so I created something I DO get to look at all day!  (sorry for the lack of pretty background...)

I know people have been altering clip boards for ages, but this was my first!  I loved it!  But, PLEASE, can someone tell me...do you take the clip off before you cover it...then re-attach somehow??  I had to work around the clip, and that was not fun.

But look at the Prima goodness...just soak it all in!

Hello all!  Here's a sweet little project I wanted to share with you using the beautiful new Little Yellow Bicycle line called "Sweet Love" Tammy is now has the paper kit in stock HERE. I see she has some beautiful kits with this paper too...HERE and a Card Kit HERE!

I love the vintage feel and colors, very soft and romantic. Although it does have sweet little hearts, little love birds and lovely written quotes, it doesn't have to be for Valentines projects alone!  Here's an example of a little gift that could be for any time of the year!

Using my JustRite stamps (found HERE), and my Copic markers... I created these sweet little seed packets.  I used the LYB paper to create a simple belly band of paper, filled the glassine bag with seed packets, and attached my JustRite label.  I finished it off with a coordinating ribbon.  I let my son write his name on a little tag, and give it to his preschool teachers as a little Valentine surprise!  They just loved them!   Cute for Valentine's Day, but perfect for any time you want to give a sweet person a sweet little card or gift!

We all love Webster's Pages!!  The funky, yet vintage images are what draws us back time and time again.  I fell in love with their latest release, On the Boardwalk...and Tammy has created an amazing Kit of the Month from the paper, plus added all sorts of vintagey embellishments and ribbon to jump start your creativity!

I combined a challenge from Moxie Fab World (creating some sassy Anne Taintor style cards) with this kit...and here and the cards I have created so far!  What fun :0)

Well, it seems that everyone is tired of winter paper, and ready for spring! I guess that's why the LLB design team all seem to be reaching for our bright and fun papers :0) Basic Grey's Nook & Pantry seems to be very popular right now! Tammy still has several super groovy Nook & Pantry items left...go take a peek! Look HERE  and HERE.

These cards are from the paper kit HERE

I love the vintage inspired prints...plus,  if it has a pear on it..I'm all over it!

It's a lovely late fall day here in North Carolina...one of those rare 70 degree November days. The last of the leaves remind me that it is still fall, with Christmas just around the corner! Here's a perfect little project full of Christmas JOY!

Tammy sent me THIS amazing Deluxe Kit by Webster's Pages "Home for the Holidays" to play with. Ok, OK...truth be told, I begged for the opportunity to work with this paper :0) So beautiful, very vintage Christmas...gives me the "warm and fuzzies" just looking at it! I love to cut apart Webster's Pages and use the lovely elements anywhere I please.


This project started with THIS Kaiser Craft Joy sign.

Here's how I did my project:

1. Paint the JOY sign cream.
2. Trace the letters onto one piece of paper, cut and adhere with Modge Podge.
3. Cut out my favorite elements from the paper and Modge Podge into place. I also used the fabric elements...but treated them the same as the paper.
4. Ink the edges.
5. Cover the piece with Rangers Distress Paint Rock Candy to age and crackle the entire piece...and while wet, lightly sprinkle glitter all over.


I have the perfect room to put this in! I love to decorate with deep red, and always have at least one small room in my house "Botticelli Red". This little sign will be so lovely in my 1/2 bath, just over the sink!



Have a great weekend!

I just love this paper by Bo Bunny...St. Nick...I am still creating with the KIT that Tammy sent me!

I took some scraps and die cut the tags with Spellbinder Nestabilities, colored my image with Copics (can you see the glitter??? It's so hard to capture in photographs... That was drawn with a Copic Atyou Spica. My heart is all a-flutter when I use those. The glitter is micro fine! Here's a tip...all Copic's you can store vertical since they are air tight EXCEPT for the Spica! These need to be stored horizontal so the tips will not clog with the glitter!)


I used ribbon scraps from the kit, along with the Prima Flowers to decorate the top of my gift bag. I cut the green flower apart and used it as "leaves".

The bag is just a glassine bag that I embossed with an embossing folder :0)

Christmas is less than 100 days away! :0)

So Christmas is only 105 days away. I think I can get a few Christmas cards done this year....if I start NOW. :0)

Vintage Santa's are just my favorite images for Christmas, so when I got this Deluxe Kit from Lil Lambs Boutique, (from Bo Bunny, appropriatly called St. Nick )I had my inspiration!
I know most people love to make scrapbook layouts with kits...but I love cards, so I typically do my cards first...layouts later. But, you could easily make your layout first, then use the scraps to make a few Christmas cards!

I especially love the Prima bling! I cut it apart so I could use it for several projects (yes, you are allowed to cut things....)It's called Prima Holiday Lights Spray...and comes in the kit along with some beautiful lace...


Thanks for taking a peek :0)

Oh boy are you guys gonna love this!!

Tammy at Lil Lambs Boutique sent me some suuuuper cool stuff to play with! When I saw this plain recipe stand, I about fell out of my chair! I couldn't wait get a chance to alter it so it would match my kitchen! Kaiser Craft Recipe Stand
and used THIS great kit full of Websters Pages and created this:


To get the "cherrywood" look, I used three different Glimmer Mist's. First I sprayed with Juneberry Wine, then Graphite and last Coffee Shop. I sprayed then brushed the Mist all over the project in layers to get that reddish brown to match my kitchen cabinets!


I LOVE Webster's Pages paper, but my main issue is that they are too pretty to cut. So I started with my favorite full sheet (that I couldn't bring myself to cut) and added lots of cut outs from other sheets. I inked the edges of everything, then painted around each label with more Glimmer Mist so it added more dimension. I used my Copic Markers to color in the apron and top of our lovely cook! Finally I Modge-Podged the entire thing


For a finishing touch, I added Tim Holtz Metal Corners (also in the kit) on the bottom. It is now sitting on my butler's pantry waiting for a recipe!!
