Challenge #258 - Polaroids

Happy April everyone, Gail here.  This week I'm asking you to use a polaroid frame(s) on your project.

Here's a card that I made.  I made the polaroid frame into a shaker card.  For more details, check out my blog.

Hello, Kris here to share my contribution for this week's challenge - this was a fun one! I loved cracking out my dies to make some polaroid embellishments! Feel free to check out my blog: BLOG

Amanda

I used a die cut polaroid to make one of my photos stand out on this layout!

Lori

For my card I fussy cut a couple of polaroid frames from a piece of patterned paper to act as my sentiment.

Heather R

I used my Cameo to cut out a polaroid frame to highlight the picture of my hubby and I on this layout from our cruise back in 2008.

Tina

I used cut-apart Polaroids on my layout

Renee

I used a polaroid cut file to create a frame for my card, which is made entirely from leftover embellishments from various embellishment packages!

Challenge #257 "Spring is in the Air"

Welcome back for another fun challenge!!! I can not believe we are in the last few days of March so I am starting to think of Spring. 

Spring is one of my favorite seasons of the year, I love everything about Spring from the smell to the beautiful flowers and all their different colors.

The theme for our new challenge is

"Spring is in the Air"

We can't wait to see what you create for the new challenge but first here is some inspiration from our wonderful Design Team

 This is my inspiration for you. I love the colors of spring, the grass growing again, the tulips coming out and all the dandelions with their beautiful yellow shine.

Tina

Spring for us begins the season of our vegetable garden

Karrie

Wanted to give my friend some pretty smelling tealites,

but didn't have the container, so I made a sleeve out of a TP

roll and old supplies ~ decorated with

flowers and birdies because Spring is in the Air!

Challenge #256 - Doilies

Hi everyone! Amanda here with this week's challenge!

I have a little bit of an obsession with doilies! They are so versatile and can be used on so many different types of projects. I have them in many different colors and I also love to cut them on my die cut machines! For this week's challenge I want to see one or more doilies on your project!

For mine I used a large doily to help back my photo.

Take a look at what the DT came up with this week!

Maria Pilar
I made my card making a background with a mixedmedia stencil, a doilie and a ADNORit image. More details here

Gail

A baby card with some heart-shaped doilies. For more information, click HERE.

Renee

I have become a true planner girl.  I used part of a doily to create a focal decoration on my planner spread for this week.  I am always looking for interesting things to use in my planner and the doily was perfect as it is not bulky.

for the Dry Embossing challenge we had so many wonderful creations made for this challenge. My top 3 in order of entry are.
#9 Janis- I really enjoyed the double embossing technique used to add extra detail and shimmer to her card
 
#15 Bonnie- all the layers of different embossed textures is stunning and I enjoyed the colors and embellishments on her card
 

#18 Julie- I love the monochromatic color scheme and all of the soft textures layered on her card.
 

Thanks so much for playing along, you ALL did a wonderful job with the challenge!

 Happy crafting ♥

#255 -Dry Embossing: machine or hand

Haven here with this weeks challenge.  If you're an avid paper crafter like me you probably have a bunch of embossing folders that you just had to have and now barely use.  Well now's the time to pull them out and create something.  If you don't have an embossing machine try hand embossing with a stencil and stylus.

Haven 

I inked my embossing folder before using it to make the wood grain background

Gail

Here's my card for this challenge. Most of these papers were scraps that I found on my worktable. It felt great to use them up!

Amy

Karrie

I don't have a machine or folders or anything ~

so I found an old ATC paper pad that had this doublesided darker

and lighter green pre-embossed paper. I used it in my middle layers, and sanded

 it lightly to show the pattern a bit better.

Also the beige paper under the pic is an embossed wood grain.

Beth

I used the Pretty Paisleys embossing folder from Stampin' Up! 

Tina

I used a Happy Birthday embossing folder for my card

Tammy 

I finally got around to using a Tim Holtz embossing folder that I have had for awhile now! I love this one with my Stampin' Up Perfect Blend stamp set.
