New York State of Mind - A Mini-Album

Hi everyone!

Becky here today & I have a great little album that my sister made (Kim L.) out of the Tag Album (she ordered several loose pages in Heavy Chipboard & Acetate) dies from Creative Cuts & More!
She was lucky enough to go to New York for her 20th Anniversary this year & this is just a tiny taste of the pictures she took there! (She will have to do many more mini's to showcase her fabulous trip!!) So, here we go...

The acetate cover features a reproduction of a vintage postcard along with a FABULOUS Statue of Liberty die from CC&M (up on the site soon!)!

On the back of the acetate cover, Page 2 has a lovely Apple cut in red velvet from CC&M!

Page 3, the camera actually lifts up (too hard to photograph here) to reveal their itinerary & some pictures, a map & guide book write-up of Times Square all layered on a heavy chipboard tag & adhered to the back of an A7 Apple Window card!! (see the next pict!)

See, here's the A7 Card from the front. It's connected only from one end so that it opens like a card, but also flips up with the rest of the album. Inside the card looks like this:

Here's another acetate page showcasing the famous Broadway St. with a Comedy Mask die from CC&M (up on the site soon!). Here's the flip side:

You can see another Velvet Apple under the Broadway tickets.

Finally, what's a visit to NY without seeing the Statue of Liberty?!! Here she attached 2 postcards showing the building of the statue with a brad to a heavy chipboard tag so that the cards swing up to show...

A picture she took of the statue popped in front of part of a Sky Scraper die (the whole die is much longer & up on the site soon!).

That's it for us today!

Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget to stop by the Creative Cuts & More store for all your summer vacation die & album needs!!

Using a CCM Album Page as a Card!

Hi all!

Sorry for being a couple days late on this post! (I tried to post it on Sunday, but I think because my internet connection was via satellite, it didn't load right...) Better late than never!

But, here we are now! Kim decided to use a "leftover" for this one...

a piece of cardstock that was originally cut for the Mix n Match album!

She tri-folded it into this great card!!

Adding fun vintage images of ladies & butterflies here & there plus some acetate butterflies from her stash (you could easily order some butterflies from CC&M in acetate & then use alcohol inks & Copics to color them!), she created this fun card ready to send off to a girlfriend!!

That's really it!

So try to use up some of those extras or look at things in a different way & use up some old supplies!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Birdie Card

So sorry this post didn't make it up early this morning...I have been super sick for almost 2 weeks now & even though I have all the photos done for several posts, I just haven't had the energy to blog them! This one will be short & simple! Thanks for your patience! - Becky

So, here is Kim's latest creation for Creative Cuts & More, using the Sliding Pop-Up Card. Kim ordered the card in red & white & then covered the top with some great Graphic 45 paper. This card is really fun to work with & always a delight to receive...

That's it for today!

"The Crazy Bird Lady" does it again!

Hi all! Becky here to share another FABULOUS project from my sister, a.k.a. Kim, "The Crazy Bird Lady!" She's still cranking out these amazing pieces inspired by her "slight" obsession with birds (& the book "Delight in the Details")! This time around, she used the Schoolhouse Picture Frame as her base for this gorgeous tag!

She traced the schoolhouse die onto a piece of needlepoint mesh & cut it about 1/4" larger to frame the schoolhouse a little. She covered the die with some papers & inside the little oval frame of the schoolhouse is a stamped bird image (Tim Holtz) surrounded by pearls, butterflies & bird eggs.

At the bottom, she hung a couple of great little charms (7 Gypsies, I think).

Another fabulous creation don't'cha think?? She is so GREAT at thinking outside the box with all the fabulous dies from Creative Cuts & More! Who would have ever thought of using this schoolhouse as a birdhouse but my uber-talented sister!! So, take a look at all the dies that CC&M has to offer & see what amazing things you can do too!

Be sure to keep checking in to see what our other talented designers are up to all week & we'll be back next Friday with another "Outside the Box" creation using the fabulous products from CC&M!!

Here's a little sneak peek:

It's going to be a "Banner" Spring!

Hello there!

Becky here, blogging for my sister Kim (as usual! LOL!)!

She just finished this BEAUTIFUL banner using the Banner Die from Creative Cuts & More in a GORGEOUS Aqua Lagoon Stardream Fuse Metallic paper!

She said that she was inspired by a similar banner in this book: "Delight in the Details" by Lisa Pace. Here's a bunch of close-ups for you to admire...

Don't just love all the little touches!

Here's a couple more close-ups of one of the banner pieces:

Isn't she just so darn clever!!

It looks absolutely beautiful on her mantle!

And sooooo very easy to work with when the banner pieces are pre-cut for you from CC&M!! There are tons of great colors to choose from & other dies that you can pick-out to embellish your banner too! Hop onto the shop & browse around!!

That's it for today!

See you soon!

Valentine File Folder Card

Hi all!

Kim here today to share this fun little Valentine I made from the File Folder die (cut in Onyx Shimmer Metallic cardstock) at Creative Cuts & More!

It's a pretty simple card - I stamped some fun Valentine images onto some raffle tickets & place tehm inside a glassine envelope; wrapped some red embroidery floss around it before I adhered it to the card & attached some fun flowers from the Making Memories Vintage Findings line. I cut out a vintage Valentine image to place on top of the envelope.

Inside, I stamped "Love You Much" & embossed it in red...

That's it! Just add a little love note & it's ready for my Valentine!!

Creative Cuts & More has a ton of cards & love-related dies to choose from, so be sure to check it out so that you can get your love notes done too!

See you soon!

Cupid's Card

Hi all! Hope y'all joined us last week for our Valentine Idea Blog Hop! If not, you can check it out here. I was on a roll after the hop & just kept on making Valentines!

I used the Rectangle Window A2 Card cut in Quartz Shimmer Metallic cardstock; embossed it & added a strip of patterned paper along the bottom edge with the "Be Mine" sentiment.

Inside, I place another piece of patterned paper & added the cupid.

That's pretty much it - sweet & simple!
