Enjoy the Little Things

Welcome to First Fridays Glitter Queens Blog Hop

Hi!  I hope you are enjoying the awesome projects along our First Fridays Blog hop.  If this happens to be your first stop along the way our theme this month is Designer Series Paper.  

   

  Today I am sharing an easy, mini album  showcasing all of the papers available in the Delightful Daisy (144137) Designer Series Paper (DSP). Click HERE to see inside pages.
 

Clare Charvill from My Creative Spirit was my inspiration for this project. The overall album dimensions are 8" x 5 1/4" x  1/2".  I used Basic Black (12x12) card stock for the base album, Tranquil Tide card stock, ink and ribbon, Layering Love stamp set, Clear  Faceted Gems and my favorite piece of the DSP to decorate the album cover.  I used the rest of the DSP for the inside of the album along with Calypso Coral, Daffodil  Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive and Whisper White card stock. Click HERE for detail directions.

I wanted to keep the album simple, but you could easily customize the pages by adding Stampin' UP! embellishments, larger photo mats and die cuts to your crafty heart's content.

For my second project, I made a matching card to complement the album. The card is 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" layered with DSP 4 1/8" by 5 3/8".  I used Wink of Stella to fill in the little heart and finished the card with 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

 
 
I love to design the inside of my cards.  I added a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Whisper White mat and stamped the sweet message from the Layering Love (141965) stamp set.  This message really hits home with me.

The tags in the album are 2" wide and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper. The message is inked with Tranquil Tide (144085)






Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you've had as much fun hopping as I had making the projects. Make sure you visit everyone's blog.  We have an awesome group that loves to share their talent with you.

Easy Card for Any Occassion

Card Front

Card Inside

Today I want to share a card I made in June for my granddaughter's 8th grade graduation.  Her name is Grace.  The day of her graduation I left the card where she would easily find it when she arrived home from school.  Grace opened the card as soon as she found it and turned to me and said, "Nonni when did you find the time to make this pretty card for me?" I replied, "I made the time because I love you."  A priceless moment I will not forget.

Change the sentiment and you have an easy card for any special occasion.   

The card base is the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and is made with Berry Burst cardstock (144243).  The background circle stamp is from Playful Backgrounds (141920) and was stamped with Berry Burst ink (144083).  

The banner strip is 1 1/2" x 6" of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock (144245).  I used the Banner Triple  punch (138292) on each end.

The Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP 144125) is cut at 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".

The sentiment is from a retired stamp set B.Y.O.B. stamped with Berry Burst ink.  I cut two pieces of cardstock (Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist) with the Pretty Label Punch.  

I used dimensionals and gold thread to finish off the card.  

The pictures do not capture the shiny foil well.  It's really pretty! It's one of my new favorites.  The backside of the paper is a plain kraft color which I used on the inside of the card.
