Pinfluence: Spring Inspired
Greetings! Yesterday I was up on the
with a couple of takes on fun finds found on Pinterest.
I went in search of things that reminded me of Spring:
rain showers, umbrellas, Easter eggs, rabbits, etc.
In doing so, I came up with these two pins that inspired the cards featured here.
We are calling this ‘Pinfluence.”
Both of my cards were created using the brand new “Hello Sunshine Collection”
For my first card, I've used this vintage Easter postcard:
Next, I went on hunt to find the perfect cutting file that combined a similar bunny and Easter eggs.
Following the color pattern, I selected various papers from Hello Sunshine and began
cutting all of the pieces. The end result is this nostalgic card:
Before assembling the pieces, I did add some shading around the edges with chalk.
Foam adhesive also gives more personality as you begin layering on the pieces.
The egg was also decorated in iridescent glitter, a vellum word and a couple of strands
of baker’s twine glued into place.
I think that the Puddle Jumper Paper is the perfect background for the bunny card…
after-all, a little rain never stopped the Easter bunny :)
My next point of inspiration is a photograph that I found on Pinterest:
I was enamored by the cool rings created by the drops of rain and brought that look to my next card
To create the background, I started with a piece of paper cut from the Happy Days Paper.
To that I added raindrops using a stencil and Pearl Modeling Cream; this gives a nice dimension to the background. Allow the modeling cream to dry and then begin embellishing.
For the puddle I used nesting circle dies and cut out various patterns and then layered them
together with foam adhesive. For the sentiment, I trimmed down one of the vellum tags
and attached it to the side of the puddle with glue dots.
Add even more dimension to the raindrops with those adorable Puffy Stickers.
And that’s a wrap-up for my Pinterest inspired cards for today…hope you enjoyed!
On another note, I'm so very SUPER excited to share that my card using
this same "Hello Sunshine" Collection will grace the cover of the
Spring Edition of CARDMAPS4 by Scrapbook & Cards Today and PageMaps!
**Pre-orders will begin on March 14th and will be shipped in April**

This egg shape is part of the
Cotton Tail Village Collection from SVGCuts.com
If you have your own personal cutting system, give this project a try!
Although there is a tutorial available on the SVGCuts website, I will give you a little
play-by-play on how to put it all together.

You will start with a foundation piece that all of the smaller pieces are adhered to.
For this, I like to use the heaviest cardstock that I can find...Authentique's papers
work perfectly for projects such as this!

After all of the smaller egg 'tiles' were cut, I distressed the edges in a walnut ink and
then glued into place.I like to work with a quick drying liquid glue, especially when it
comes to all of the tabs that connect together in creating the finished product.

The bottom of the egg sits on this handy 'box', which is also a part of the cutting file.
I trimmed around the top with some pretty May Arts novelty ribbon and then added some
felt flowers from my stash. On the front of the box, I adhered one of the punch-out
pieces from the Components Die-Cut Paper Accents sheet.

I think the little details make the project! In finishing the house, I glued lengths of pink/white
baker's twine between the seams of each panel. I love how it tied everything together
and hid some of the imperfect edges created when cutting.

I love that this handmade Easter decor is almost 100% made from paper...

File It Under FRESH!
Fridays are Earth Friendly at
AUTHENTIQUE PAPER BLOG
Who doesn't love taking something old, used or unexpected
and turning it into something with a new life and purpose?
For this Friday's project I used an old file folder.
By trimming away the top tab, I had a brand new slate to begin with.
I cut three strips of {Fresh} patterned paper, inked around the edges and then machine-stitched
to the folder (leaving the top portion open). I then embellished with a bit of roping at the top, scalloped borders and cotton trim, adhesive pearls and a pieced plaque hung by a wooden clothespin.
If you love distressing with ink like I do, then you will love how beautiful the effect looks over the texture of Authentique paper.
A row of the adhesive tags from the {Fresh} Details 12x12 Sticker Sheet completes the bottom.
For the inside of my fully-functional-file-folder-holder? Why, handmade {Fresh} tags of course!
I went online to svgcuts.com and found these really great layered tags. Tag making has never been easier...or more fun.
Here are samples of the tags that I created for the inside of the folder:
I think that canvas and burlap and jute look great paired up with beachy sorts of projects...
so if you have those items in your stash, grab 'em up for this project :)
I machine stitch just.about.everything. Even sticker letters. Wanting to take the sticky off of those stickers? Just apply a little baby powder to the back...voila!
Oh and I forgot to mention corrugated clouds...why not?
Have a blessed weekend
Wooden buttons? yes, please!
And isn't the subway-art look of this (above) sticker just the coolest?
And isn't the subway-art look of this (above) sticker just the coolest?
I could literally make a card using each and every Details Stickers on the sheet...
the graphics are that beautiful...even down to the tiniest of seashells.
Grab those nautical stamps and scalloped punches...perfect for tag-topping!
And for this final tag: I cut the wonderful sentiment from the bottom sheet
of a {Fresh} patterned paper! I love that you can use every square inch of Authentique product.
This was such a tremendously FUN project for me...I hope that you've
enjoyed it too!

To finish off, I embellished with party hats that I hand-cut from one of the patterned papers.
I topped them with mini pom poms. For the handles, I used a very small gauge pipe cleaner.
HOORAY BIRTHDAY BANNER
I know, I know. This is the only place that I could find to photograph the banner in its
entirety and with good lighting! But I have several up-close pictures
to share so that you can visualize HELLO CUPCAKE's abilities
I used an inexpensive pre-made banner from Hobby Lobby, which included
12 panels sewn together. I cut the banner in half; decorating the first six
and then gluing the plain banners to the backs after finishing. This made the
banner extra sturdy and hid all of my sewing :)
I tinkered around with some scratch paper to create the inset for the banner,
In finishing, I covered the white sating binding holding the banners together
with an orange grosgrain ribbon!
Now isn't this just a bunch of yumminess?
Hello Cupcake is the perfect collection for any of your party planning and layouts!

Graduation and Cupcakes
It's Thursday all ready...wow!
Today is the last day of high school for my oldest son, Tyler.
Bittersweet.
We were excited to find out that he received a Leadership Scholarship
to the university that he'll be attending this Fall. What an answer to prayer!
And I didn't mention before, but he also received the
Bear Varsity Football Leadership Award
and
Varsity Baseball Defensive Player of the Year
at the Athletic Banquet last week.
Eh-hum, in our family we don't call it being a leader, we call it being BOSSY haha!
But we're so proud of him nonetheless :)
(and excuse the shirt...he was in a hurry and didn't have time to properly press it. I almost crawled
under the table when he walked in lookin' like that...ugh)
Now, onto really important stuff like...

PARTY TREAT BAGS
By taking a simple 6x6 sheet of patterned paper, I made these cute and functional goodie bags!
Hint: Score your top at 1" and fold over to showcase the other pattern; trim with handmade crepe fringe or other trim. Bags measure 2.75"W x 5" H. And not many projects get by me these days without using the i-top punches to create whimsical embellishments.
I printed out several Thank You's on white cardstock and trimmed to create the
little banner. I use a star punch to create the dovetail on the ends!
The fringe? Why, it came from my Dot & Whimsy Etsy Shop of course :)
When scoring your papers, score at 1 1/2" and 4 3/8"; this will make your bag
approximately 2 3/4" across.
To finish off, I embellished with party hats that I hand-cut from one of the patterned papers.
I topped them with mini pom poms. For the handles, I used a very small gauge pipe cleaner.

stitching, I outlined the paper in baker's twine and then embellished each one with
letters and scalloped created from an SVG file (svgcuts.com)
Hello Cupcake is loaded with the cutest Sticker Stackers and die-cuts...you will want
to eat 'em up! And of course, I couldn't resist a few polka-dotted buttons!
In finishing, I covered the white sating binding holding the banners together
with an orange grosgrain ribbon!
