Mint Motif releases: Day Two

Hello!  Did you enjoy all the samples yesterday showing the two new Mint Motif sets, Beyond Borders, Too and Simply Sentiments?  If you missed it you can see projects from:  Kimberly Crawford, i {heart} papers, AJ Otto, Latisha Yoast and Ryann Salamon.

For my project today I used the polka dots from Beyond Borders, Too, stamped in Memento ink.  I also stamped numbers from I’ve Got Your Number and colored with Stickles and Copics.  Then I used my scallop from Spellbinders Classic Edges One Edgeabilities to create the edge and some circle Nesties.  I finished it by stamping the greeting from Simply Sentiments in Palette ink and added some white ruffled faux suede ribbon layered with some yellow scalloped velvet ribbon. 

Be sure to stop in and see the other projects that the rest of the DT has for you:

DT Challenge: SRM Calendars

Today’s DT Challenge is sponsored by SRM Stickers and we’re highlighting their calendars.  I LOVE these things.  They make such amazing gifts. 

For my project I used some Decor Boardz that I picked up at a scrapbooking show and have been hoarding for about 5 years  I decided it was finally time to alter them! 

So, I mounted my calendar stickers on white cardstock and then used papers from Echo Park’s Victoria Gardens Collection Kit. 

Before I mounted it I added some scallops using my Scallop Edgeabilities (love those).  Then for some extra touches I added some Zva Flutter pearls and pearl flourishes.

To hold everything together (since it was going on non-paper, I used our very own i {stick} papers redline tape.  Did you know we have our very own redline tape?  60 yards rolls, made  specifically for IHP.  The adhesive system offers a secure bond even at elevated temperatures and was originally made for the mounting of ABS plastic parts in the car industry. It is also used for the mounting of decorative profiles and mouldings in the furniture industry. You can use this particular redline tape (they don't all have this property) was made to endure heat, you can emboss with it. Temperature Resistance: 392° F (short term) and 176° F (long term) How nuts is that? I don't think we're going to be playing with super high heat on our PAPER projects but that just goes to show you how strong and amazing this stuff is. And, at 24 cents a YARD, it can't be beat.

Then I used Fancy Tags Two and added some Nestabling pearls.  I stamped the year in Memento Black using our exclusive Mint Motif I’ve Got Your Number.  It is popped up using some dimensional dots and isn’t attached to the top so that it didn’t tear if it got jostled, and so it could be folded back for gift packaging.

Lastly I used some Lace Pearl trim to hang it.

Celebrate 2011: Happy New Year!

Just a quickie card to wish you all the best for 2011. Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to serving you in 2011!

For this card I used Mint Motif’s I’ve Got Your Number, paperpiecing the numbers from SEI’s Gazebo paper. Then I used a Zva word crystal for the “celebrate”. I die-cut my focal mat from a Long Rectangle Nesties and added silver Stickles on each scallop for more bling and then I finally finished it off with a little silver bow in the corner.

Happy New Year! I hope it is your best ever!

Happy 90th Birthday!

Yesterday was my grandfather’s 90th birthday so I made him a card (duh, of course I did).

I used the two newest Mint Motif sets, I’ve Got Your Number and What A Card.  I pieced the numbers and the lower panel are both from the Kaiser 6x6 pad, Up, Up And Away.  I liked the masculine colors (totally out of my comfort zone).  The greeting is stamped in Palette Landscape and Cognac and finished off with a piece of sage faux suede ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a great week and Thanksgiving and remember to pop back here on Friday for my Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale announcement.  You’re not going to want to miss it!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
