Possibilities

Hello all you paper crafters out there. Shanna here with a card I created using some fabulous pieces from the Romance Novel Chapter 2 collection!

These papers are just so stunning and gorgeous it was hard to want to cut them up!

I had this smaller tag and I treated it with a little crumbling, water, and Distress Ink. I dried it and then added the sentiment. I couldn't help but add the pretty pink bow to bring out the pink flowers in the background. 

I love that I can use my 12x12 papers to create amazing cards as well. 

Have fun creating. 

Simple Gift Bag from Shanna

Hello to you all today! Shanna here with a little quick bit of inspiration for you. 

Yes I said quick. This week became crazy busy as my husband came home because last minute he got a weekend off which totally threw off my agenda. However, being the mom I am got to thinking ahhh how can I create something that will inspire people to create on the fly but be super simple, super cute, and really quick. 

I decided to head to my stash of things to alter and I had this little bag from a bag set I bought. You can find these in any party section of craft stores or where they keep bags and envelopes and such. 

I opened it up and added Distress Ink all to the side. Then I grabbed my papers and cute them down to fit. Then I had a lightbulb idea! 

I fussy cut out these flowers from the paper.... and then I cut a strip out creating my own banner from the ... paper. Then I used a stamp from my stash that basically explained who the bag was for. 

The longest part of this of course was the flower fussy cut but I just thought it was so perfect and so cute and great because my daughter's birthday will be here in just 2 days so what better way to sneak her some jewelry our candy!

So give some gift bags a personal touch and have fun!

Nirvana Mixed Media Cards by Peggy Lee Baker

Hey everyone it's Peggy Lee here 

sharing with you a couple of

Nirvana Mixed Media Cards!

The other day I had some free time and I decided to do some creative play...

and mix it up with Kraft card stock.

I used the Nirvana paper collections and stamps by Marion.

I grabbed a stencil and drywall tape with gesso to create background

texture. Stamping and splattered of glimmer mist makes my heart sing!!

My favorite part was getting to play with Marion's new Bloom Impressions Tool,

brown packing paper and a flower punch...I really love how the tool makes

the paper flowers cup to give great depth.

Here is a video by Marion Smith sharing with us how to use

Creative Play Card with "Never Grow Up" by Peggy Lee

Hello everyone...it's Peggy Lee here sharing with you all, 

my mixed media card....every gal needs some creative play...

I used the "Never Grow Up" paper collections and stamps

by Marion Smith.

The fun part of creative play...no rules...is that you can use up

scraps and bits & pieces that you have laying around your desk.

Like these gears I had cut from another projects, 

that I inked up with Distress inks, gesso and a little stamping to give 

more texture.

I was given these adorable Petaloo new burlap blossoms...oh my

so yummy to work with....I grabbed my Tattered Angels glimmer mist

adding two colors give some depth!

My favorite part of Marion's designs is the images you can cut out

and tuck into your projects...(which is a great way to stretch your papers).

I fussy cut out these tickets, distressed the edges...I also stamped on them

as well as splattered glimmer mist over them....

LOVE THIS GRUNGE LOOK!
