Valentine's Printer Tray

 

I don't usually purchase Valentine themed paper, it's just in recent years that they have appealed to me.  But when I saw the Yours Truly line from Pebbles Inc. I just had to get it.  I love the colors and patterns from this line.  I grabbed a 6 x 6 pad of paper and inspiration soon followed.  Here's the Valentine's themed printers tray I created.

 

 

 

 

The 6 x 6 paper pads are great for a project like this.  You get the collection of coordinating papers and I don't feel like I'm wasting a lot because I'm not trimming a small piece from a 12 x 12 paper that I might not use again.  Plus the patterns are on a smaller scale so they work nicely and don't overwhelm. 

 

 

 

Here's another look at it.  All the embellishments are from my stash.  The bottom three are chipboard elements, the hearts are covered with glimmer mist, the other two are covered with glitter. 

 

I hope you've enjoyed this printers tray as must as I enjoyed creating it.

Craft Warehouse DT Assignment 2 part 1

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything.  The last couple months have been busy and somewhat full of computer problems.  But, I'm able to edit photos again and hopefully will get back to posting regular posts.  So without further ado here are the first two pieces from my second assignment for the Craft Warehouse design team. 

For this assignment we needed to create a layout and a card / tag using the Apple Cheddar line from Jillibean Soup.  Though this is something that I probably would not normally buy, I love this line and enjoyed creating with it.  The biggest challenge...we were only given a 6x6 pad of the line so we had no 12 x 12 pieces to incorporate into the layout.  Here's what I came up with...

Sweet 2 The Core Layout -

To create the flower I cut two 1 1/2" x 6" strips and two 1" x 6" strips and punched the all on one side using the Martha Stewart doily lace punch found at Craft Warehouse.  Once all pieces are punched I scored at every peak and valley and folded at each score. I then attached the two 1 1/2" strips together and the two 1" strips together to create one long strip. Connect the two ends of each piece to create a circle. Then I attached the larger piece to a scrap piece of paper and adhered the smaller piece on top.

Here's my card -

For the card I stamped the image from Pebbles Inc, on several sheets of patterned paper from the collection and hand cut each one out.  I layered them so a bit of each were showing and placed the hand cut basket on top.
