DT Day: Tracy

Here's a great way to re-use holiday themed paper or any fun prints sitting in your stash. I simply layered a few strips of paper that I cut from Lawn Fawn's Snow Day pad, then pointed the edges using a ruler, pencil, and scissors.

On top of the layers, I showcased a fun scene from one of the paper stacks using dimensionals. Then added a wood veneer snowflake and some twine. Easy and fun!

DT Day: Tracy

Hi IHP fans! It's Tracy bringing you a simple and cute wintery scene card you can make. I used Lawn Fawn's snow day paper paired with this little penguin.

To make my scene, I just layered the decorative paper, then my penguin, and lastly a wintery hill I cut out using Lawn Fawn's stitched hillside border die. I finished my card off with a snippet of coordinating paper from the pad, a wooden snowflake, and some twine from Hemptique.

DT Day: Guest Mariana

Hello!  Happy New Year!

Today we're sharing a card from our guest Mariana.

This is another simple card using a pretty stamp set called Lucille Sew Perfect by Hero Arts/Basic Grey. I stamped the image and then the sentiment on a strip of patterned paper that belongs to a 6×6 pad collection called Sweater Weather by Lawn Fawn. I used Hero Arts Shadow Ink Mint Julep and Memento Tuxedo Black. I added decorative tape and stitches along two sides of the patterned paper. Finally, I just added three white hearts with KaiserCraft Basics Rhinestones Gems and then, I tied Earthy Hemp Twine around front panel. Very easy to make.

Well, that’s all from me right now, I will be back soon to share another project!

Thanks for stopping by :) Have a wonderful crafty week!

DT Day: Vera

Hi everyone. Vera here today. How's your December looking so far? Well, for me, December means Christmas and also homesickness. Never more than in Christmas that I miss being with my family. Also, my niece birthday is in December. So, two events where I am totally missing my family.

With that in mind, I made this miss you card to send to  my niece.

This bunny is one of my favorite bunny stamp ever. Because it's so adorable & sweet. It's from Lawn Fawn Hello Baby set. For the hills, I added some green using the mini blending tool & Avery Elle Lemon Grass ink pad.

I am keeping it CAS and sweet. This card totally reflect how much I am missing my li'l niece on her birthday (of course, she gets a birthday card as well). Hah.... My  brother is used to me sending her a bunch of cards. Sometime for no reason at all. Being far away, I need to make sure she knows that I think of her all the time. 

That's all for me today and thank you so much for swinging by here. Don't forget to check out {i heart} papers for all your stamping need. Cheers!

DT Day: Tracy

Good morning IHP fans! It's Tracy here with a fun and simple pastel holiday card you can make. I used Chickaniddy's Jolly Good paper pad and layered a couple pastel prints. My sentiment comes from Lawn Fawn's Winter Penguin set stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

To finish my card off I used a couple of Lawn Fawn's wood veneer snowflakes that I dragged through Palette New Canvas ink first. And I added a tiny bow of pink twine from Hemptique. Have a wonderful holiday season and don't forget to check out i {heart} papers for all of your crafty needs!

Guest DT: Mariana

Happy December!  Today we welcome a new guest designer to the team, Mariana Grigsby.

Here's what she has to say about herself and her first project for us!

I live in Northern Illinois with my husband and our two sons. We also have a cat and a dog that we consider part of our little family. I love creating with my hands since as long as I can remember. That was one of the reasons that years later I went to college to become a Graphic Designer, but in 2005 I set aside that title to become a stay-home mom. Since then, I discovered that crafting was a great way to keep my creativity active.  I specially love creating cards and scrapbook pages. I also like to challenge myself by trying out different styles of cards, and learning new techniques. I have achieved many accomplishments as a card maker, several of my cards have been published in magazines, I have been on different design teams, etc. Overall, I can say that crafting is a therapy for me, exercises my mind, makes me happy. You can find me at http://marianagrigsby.wordpress.com

To create my card I used a stamp set called Love You a Latte by Lawn Fawn. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a white tag, and then, I colored the images with markers. I also created a frame onto the card base with a patterned paper included in Sweater Weather 6x6 Paper Pad also by Lawn Fawn.  I applied some glitter details over the marshmallows with a white Wink of Stella Brush Glitter Marker. Next, I put a layer of Glossy Accents on the image and sentiment.  Finally, I adhered the tag with foam tape, I stitched along the edge with my sewing machine, and added a simple red ribbon knot as an embellishment.

Products used: Love You a Latte, Sweater Weather, Memento Tuxedo Black, Wink of Stella Brush Glitter Marker

We're excited to have you joining the team for the next 2 months!

DT Day: Sarah

Hi IHP fans! It's that time of year, I'm starting to think about Christmas crafting. Every year I try (and fail) to handmake all my cards, sad right? This year I'm getting a head start with some postable designs using gorgeous products from IHP!

The new Wplus9 Christmas release makes for stunning cards! I've used the Stag Trio Die as the focal point of this one. The background was stamped with the trees from Winter Woodland in Rich Cocoa Memento Luxe and the sentiment is also from that set. 

The papers are from the All Bundled Up collection and I've added a wooden snowflake to anchor the sentiment. I've also used the Finished Frames dies from Avery Elle - I LOVE this die set! Have you started your Christmas cards yet?

DT Day: Lindsay

Hi everyone! 

Lindsay with you today, to share a fall card with you.  It's just now cooling off here in Northeastern Ohio, after a few days of hot and humid weather.  That had me thinking about fall, and the cool, crisp air it brings.  I love when the leaves turn, and their color is everywhere!  In that frame of mind, I created this, using fun products from mostly Paper Smooches, and a Lawn Fawn stamp set.  

I started by die cutting the fun Large Leaves Dies, and inking them with Distress Inks.  I set those aside as I worked on my card base.  Taking the Interlocking Backgrounds set from Lawn Fawn, I gold heat embossed the funky chevron strip onto the front of a white note card.  I then die cut the words "you" and "are" from the Kudos Word Die set, using black cardstock, and adhered them to the card, adding the "too kind" from Chit Chat last.

Lastly, I adhered my leaves in a haphazard way, covered them with Wink of Stella glitter, and added glossy accents to my die cut words. I hope you were inspired to break out the die cuts, and inks, and try something fun on your latest projects.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

DT Day: Ardyth

I love this colorful card (and great use of background stamp) from our guest Ardyth.  Here's her post:


Here's my latest Guest DT creation for i {heart} papers. I had a lot of fun with some colours I don't use very often and a couple of stamp sets that, even though they come from different companies, work really well together.

This fun, bubbly background that I created carries on UNDER (CASology 111) the white popped-up circular panel. And UNDER the card (if it's lying down on the table) is a surprise - I stamped the background on the back too! No reason for the party to stop at the border of the front of the card!

Supplies:
Avery Elle: Brushed
Winnie & Walter: Big Bang Confetti
Memento Ink: Tuxedo Black, Dandelion, Lilac Posies
Hero Arts Ink: Pale Tomato
LawnFawn: Circle dies
Dimensional dots
White Cardstock
