Making Labels Day 2

Hi Everyone! So I wanted to play around with this label idea I came up with yesterday. You can see my first card HERE .  I started with the same supplies as yesterday (Paper Smooches  Due Die 1  and  Borderlicious ). This time I decided to use the postage stamp border. It took a little more effort to line up but I'm happy I gave it a chance. After I stamped the border I thought it kind of looked like a front door mat so I went with it. :)  I finished the card with the frame portion from Due Die 1, a sentiment from Word Salad  and stamps from Bitty Bungalows . Hm, what should I try next? 

Create a Label

Hey Everyone! I have really been enjoying creating with die cut labels lately. I used a small one in my fox card HERE  and a larger one on this card HERE . So I decided it was about time to try to create one myself with supplies I already have. After thinking about it for a couple of days it clicked! I used Paper Smooches Duo Die 1  and a stamp from Borderliscious . Perfection! So you can see my cute little label there in the middle of my card. What do you think? I'm excited to try other colors, shapes, borders... What trends do you see in paper crafting that you want to recreate ? Let me know and maybe I'll give it a try! It's a fun challenge and totally worth it when it all clicks. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Bella Blvd: Friday Sketch

Hi Everyone! How was your weekend? This card was over on the  Bella Blvd blog  for the Friday Sketch day. Head on over there to see the sketch AND to take a peek at the cards the other designers created! They are awesome! I am really enjoying playing with Bella Blvd stickers. I really love these ones HERE  and also these HERE . The arrows are super awesome too HERE . It's so fun to mix and match them to create a sentiment! That's it from me today. Time to go craft! :)

Winner and a Card

It's time to pick a winner...   Christina  said... Just found your blog through Ellen's newsletter--what a treat! I adore this layout with the die cut window for the little house. How adorable! October 15, 2013 at 7:17 AM I used Random.org and Christina won! Congrats Christina! Email me at cherryhilldesign at hotmail dot com and I will get you your prize! I just got through a lot of assignments so I thought it would also be fun to make a card JFF (Just for Fun)! I pulled out  Cosmos  and the matching  dies . This card shares a lot of ideas from other cards I've made lately. The die cutting is from HERE , the washi bow is from HERE  (tutorial HERE ) and the slanted paper is from HERE . All are elements that I love and will probably do over and over again. :)  When I was putting together the card I needed to do something to the star to make it match the tone of the rest of the card. Ink splatters? No. Paper piece? No. And then ...

Bella Blvd: Pinterest Inspired

Hi Everyone! What a week! Did you see the GIVEAWAY Ellen Huston is offering on my blog? Check it out HERE . Its open until Friday morning!   Today I'm excited to share two cards I have over on the Bella Blvd blog today! To see the inspiration picture, supplies used and how to see how I was inspired go over HERE and check it out!     I really love how quickly and easily cards come together using Bella Blvd's collections. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Their products are super fun and translate SO well from scrapbooking to card making! I can't wait to try them in my Project Life album. :)   I have another card to share tomorrow! I'm telling you....I've been so busy but I'm having SO much fun!

You're Awesome Card

Hi Everyone! I've said it before and I'll say it again....I love to layer. It's fun for me. It's almost like working on a puzzle. Sometimes it goes quickly and other times I can play with paper pieces and I never find a solution. Here is one card I figured out. :)     I used Nina Yang's new Simply Tags: Christmas  set. I haven't started Christmas cards yet so I thought I would use one of the other sentiments included in the set. The paper is My Girl  from American Crafts. It's the same one I used below (and is also part of my Ellen Huston GIVEAWAY !).      The white card base seemed a little boring so I used some pink ink and my watercolor brush to add light splatters.   Thanks for stopping by!
