♥A little about me♥

I'm currently designing for Doodlebug Design and Scrapbook Adhesives

and have had the honor of serving on 20+ manufacturers or retailer

design teams over the years!

When I'm not working as a school administrative assistant, you can almost

always find me crafting cuteness for my Etsy Shop: Dot & Whimsy :)

Aside from paper-crafting, I also enjoy making jewelry, cross-stitch, embroidery,

home decorating, reading and watching reality TV.

But enough about little 'ole me...let's get on to the give-a-way!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I set out to find the perfect curation

of all things "red" and "love" in my stash. The end result is this sweet ♥LOVE DAY KIT♥

As you can see, we have collection of gorgeous Carta Bella papers and stickers, stamps, doilies, felt hearts, dies, foam sheets, crochet hearts, twine, ribbon, paper bags, twist ties, a stencil, washi tape and two shapes of tags. All NEW or from packs of NEW product ♥

Beautiful Birthday Shaker Card

Hello and welcome to my contribution to the

SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES and HERO ARTS BLOG HOP

For my project, I have chosen to make this cute shaker birthday card!

Before we get started on the detail, here is a list of supplies that I've used:

From Scrapbook Adhesives: Keepsakes Envelope Mix (I used 4" X 3.5") Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4 in, Dual Tip Glue Pen, Crafty Foam Tape Black and the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Dots Refill. From Hero Arts: Dress Up Stamp and Cut and Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut

To begin, I added a few star sequins directly to the sticky part of the Keepsake Envelope.

Next I sprinkled some round sequins inside of the pocket.

I used the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4" to close up the pocket.

I cut a piece of patterned paper the same size as the pocket and mounted it to the sticky back of the pocket.

After die-cutting the dress bottom from patterned paper, it was pleated along the score lines and then attached to the front of the girl with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

A square frame was die cut from cardstock and placed around the pocket with Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/4".

To mount the framed pocket to the card, I used black Crafty Foam Tape.

For the birthday girl, after stamping the image onto watercolor page with black Staz-On pink, I colored her in with watercolor pencils. The sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper and then punched out with an oval punch.

I added more decorative elements by die-cutting two of the banners from Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut.

Here you can see all of the yummy, 3-D layers!

With this Blog Hop, both manufacturers will be giving away a total of $35 in product!

Blog Hop Claus & Co. December Daily December Daily Album Planner Simple Stories Tombow

Simple Stories & Tombow: A Claus & Co. Planner

Hello! Today I'm sharing my version of the "Claus & Co." Planner

featuring many of the goodies from the

SIMPLE STORIES

collection, as well as several of the great adhesive products from Tombow!

Because the Holiday SN@P! Album is nice and large, it will work double-duty as

a holiday planner and as a December-daily-style album...I cannot wait to fill it up!

To get a jump-start, I decided to have all of the cute pre-planned pages in place

and then added a few embellishments that I'll share today.

To begin, I cut the "Oh Joy" (side B) paper down so that it covered the chipboard portion of the album front. I used the Tombow Xtreme for attachment. When you want something to really stay PUT, the Xtreme adhesive is what to reach for!

I wanted to create a fun 'bridge' between the fabric binding of the album and the patterned paper, so I used various sized circle dies to cut the motifs from the "I Believe" paper. The circle sizes ranged from 1.5" to 2".

After deciding placement for the circles and other embellishments, I used the 3D Foam Tabs, Multi and Aqua Mono Liquid Glue and Stamp Runner to adhere the different pieces. The Mono Glue was perfect for adding the Wood Veneer pieces and small sequins (from my stash).

Here is a look at the completed album front:

As I said earlier, I did go ahead and add all of the inner workings to the album: the Claus & Co. SN@P! Journal Pages, Holiday Planning Inserts and the clear pocket pages that come with the album. I mixed in some fun embellishments to some of the pages:

The introductory page to the album is the "Holiday Planner" tabbed page from the "Holiday Planning Inserts" packet. I decorated it with some of the leftover circles that I didn't use on the cover. Notice the two half-circles at the top and bottom...I just cut one of the 2" circles in half and glued it in place with the Stamp Runner! The holly berry die-cuts were attached with 3D Foam Tabs.

Here I dressed up the banner insert page with one of the 4X4 Elements. Again, I used the Mono Liquid Glue for attaching the sequins.

3D Foam Tabs were used when adding stickers and die-cut pieces. I found the the Multi or Aqua Mono Liquid Glues worked best for the veneers.

The decorative insert pages are great places to add a splash of personality! I tried to leave the pages, where a lot of writing would be done, without too much bulk so writing would be easier when the time came.
