Angel Watching Over You

Paper piecing is what I have to share today. There are many die cuts available at Creative Cuts and More-and todays's projects are a good example of what you can do with a little imagination.

This first project is a thinking of you pop up card with several images It could be used for Christmas but I liked the idea of a positive thinking of you card. I was lucky to have the opportunity to play around with several of these die cuts in various colors. Each die cut has perforations that make it easy to snip and mix and match the colors and layers.

How about a side view? Did you know you can also purchase card bases from Creative Cuts and More that work to make pop up cards.

This is the front of the card. This was a fun card to make and just a quick example of what can be done using die cuts. Hope you pop over and check out all the die cuts available.

Creative Sea Life Album

Creative Cuts and more has some great albums. This project was actually a kit called Sea Life Mini Album. I used Killer Red Tacky Tape to construct my album.

 

The front with an Acetate cover.

There were so many fun die cut shapes and stickers to start decorating with.

 

 One of the extra pages I wanted to share. I chose to make an accordion pop out so I could add little pictures that would fit nicely here.It was made with the card stock included in the kit.

 Pg 1 & 2                              page 3 & 4

There were so many products in this kit: gems,stickers,die cut shapes,pockets, and tags to name a few.

Some items I added to my kit was this sticky mesh, some twine, and ribbon. Page 4 is a small page I made with some of the card stock and designer paper.

 Page 5&6                                  Page 7& 8 

Page 5 is the back of the extra made page. Pages 6 & 7 are an Acetate page. It was hard to share a good picture that would show the acetate.. My favorite page in this album is page 8,I placed a Magnolia image I colored  and also made a shaker with the cup from Stampin Up. I used a sticker to show thru the window and added some glitter.

Many of the die cuts were added with pop dots-I always love  dimension.

 Page 9 & 10                                        Page 11& 12

The clam shapes were so exciting to use-There made out of a 

Pearlescent Swirlette Cardstock.

I added pop dots and curved them-they look so realistic.

Pages 10 & 11 are Acetate...I chose to mirror the waves and fish on each side.

Page 12 is another page I made on my own from the paper included. The envelope has a star fish I added glitter to.

 Page 13 & 14     Back Page

The Acetate  Cover protects that page and embellishments.
Page 13 is the backside and I added grommets and twine. Page 14 I added some Really Reasonable leaf vine.
I really love the last page because those pockets are perfect for pictures and the tags for journaling.

Well, that is my full album from the Creative Cuts and More store.Sea Life Mini Album is a great project to work on.You might also be happy to know I had much product left over for some other projects.

You Belong In Film

That is you belong in a filmstrip picture display!

Creative Cuts and More has this Filmstrip Large die cut that is perfect for this display.

Measurements:Outside measurements: 3-1/8" wide x 4-3/4” high.Inside measurements: 1-5/8” wide x 1-7/8" high.

I started with two-one in gray,the other in black.

This die cut is also available in filmstrip small if you would like that size better.

I used white card stock on the back with a few pictures. I used Pizzazz Aplenty pearls to add the pearl dots in the open areas and the paper flowers.

I used my favorite tool-Crop O Dile to make holes and add eyelets. Ribbon from my stash was added to connect and adorn.

So I would love to hear what you think of my display piece...I was thinking of using this on a layout as adornment.

There are many die cuts available at Creative Cuts and More that can be used in this manner- hope you share some of your ideas.

Business Cards?

I was planning my attendance at CHA convention last month, when Terry(Creative Cuts and More) and I put our heads together to come up with an idea for a business card.
I wanted my card to stick out from the usual square design.
Creative Cuts and More has so many great die shapes so this was really out of the box for an idea.

 Terry suggested this fun shopping bag design and I just elaborated on that.
I used a printed flower digital design with my info-it was attached with a brad and swung out like an arm.
I dug through my older ribbons and trims. Some I added flowers to cover the brad- others I used a gem.
There were a few that I just added trim and beads.

So if you are in the market for a new business card design to create yourself-why not check out the many die cut shapes available?
Terry is great to work with to customize your choices.
