Glittery Snowflake Card with Momenta and Ciao Bella

Image
  Hello everyone.  I wanted to share a quick card I just made using a Snowflake Cover Die from Momenta (No. 2219525) that I found in my stash.  It's long retired but I did fine THIS ONE for sale on Poshmark - if you want to snag it.   I loved making this card because it can be for any of the holidays - Christmas, Hanukkah, even Kwanzaa - just add the sentiment you need for the holiday.  And using white glittered fun foam makes it so much easier.    Here's what I did:   I made an A2 size card using dark blue cardstock. I cut a piece of white glittered fun foam, adhered some 2" double-sided tape to the back, and die-cut the Momenta Snowflake Die .  If you don't have the fun foam, you can use glittered cardstock. After carefully removing all the pieces I did not need, I adhered the glittered snowflake to my card front.  For the inside: I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, stamped and embossed...

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas with Deb and Lisa | October 2024 Edition

Image
  Hello everyone!  It's been a few months since I collaborated with my friends  Debra  and  Lisa  and it's great to join them again for the October 2024 Edition of The Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas,  which happens on the 25th of each month, in hopes that our ideas inspire you guys to start to make or help you in your Christmas card making fun.   This month I have 2 quirky cards to share with everyone.   I know this image of a  Holiday Bunny  from  Lady Stella Creates  on Etsy is not for everyone but when I saw the bunny hanging lights on a Christmas tree, I thought it was a fun, quirky image and I had to have it.  He, or she, just makes me smile.   Card No. 1 I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock to which I adhered some Christmas striped paper. I printed the Holiday Bunny on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die, and stamped Dotted Merry Christmas from...

Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste | October 2024 | Halloween Pop-Up and Twist Card with Video

Image
  Hello, y'all.  Today I am joining my friends Deb ( Meticulosity ) and Celeste ( Crafting Junky ) for a coffee and cards Halloween collaboration. Sadly, it's from afar and I wish the 3 of us could be in the same room having coffee and making cards together.  Today is all about Halloween and the mood board we used for inspiration is below.    And, my coffee of choice today is a tall hot cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee by Farmstand in my fake Canon to-go cup.  Yum! Lately, I have become obsessed with Pop-Up and Twist Panel cards and have made a few for Halloween and Christmas.  I had never made one until about two weeks ago after watching some videos on YouTube.  It looked intimidating at first, but then, after making my first one, I realized I was being silly.  They are so easy to make.   They are A2 in size and fit in a regular envelope but there is some bulk to the card so you might have to pay more to mail them to someone. ...

[PORTUGUESE] Álbum de Menino Usando Minni-Sota do Your Book of Memories e Papéis da Arte Fácil Artesanato

Image
  Ola pessoal! Hoje vou compartilhar um álbum que fiz para um menino usando o tutorial Minni-Sota Album do Your Book of Memories . Adorei aprender a fazer esse álbum! A encadernação/capa é diferente de tudo que já fiz, a parte de cascata dentro do álbum também é única, e confesso que aprendi muito ao fazer esse projeto. Usei os 6 papéis de menino da coleção Sweet Dreams da Arte Fácil Artesanato , uma empresa brasileira de scrapbook. Essa coleção tem 12 papéis no total – 6 para meninos e 6 para meninas – e dá pra fazer esse álbum com qualquer um desses papéis. Aviso: isso não é uma propaganda paga do Your Book of Memories nem da Arte Fácil Artesanato. Não recebi dinheiro ou presentes para fazer esse post, estou apenas compartilhando meu amor por essas marcas. Aqui embaixo tem um vídeo mostrando o álbum que também está no meu canal do YouTube - World of Michael Trent . E, logo abaixo do vídeo, tem algumas fotos do álbum. Fotos do Álbum: Frente do Álbum Bolso de Acetato e Cascata na...

[ENGLISH] Baby Boy Minni-Sotal Album | Your Book of Memories | Arte Facil Artesanato Papers

Image
  Hello everyone.  Today I am sharing an album I made for a baby boy using the Minni-Sota Album Tutorial from Your Book of Memories .  I loved learning how to make this album.  The binding/cover is different than anything I have ever made, the waterfall component inside the album is different than anything I have ever made and, I have to admit that, I learned a lot from making this album.   I used the 6 boy papers from the Sweet Dreams Collection from Arte Facil Artesanato , a Brasilian scrapbook company.  There are 12 papers in this collection - 6 for boys and 6 for girls and this album can be made for either using these papers.  **Disclaimer - this is not a paid endorsement of Your Book of Memories or Arte Facil Artesanato.  No money or gifts were exchanged for this post.  I am just sharing my love for these brands.   Below is a video walk-thru of the album that you can also find on my YouTube Channel - World of Michael Tre...

Superman/Graffiti Pinwheel Folio | Your Book of Memories | Awesome Street Art Papers

Image
Hello, y'all.  Today I am sharing a folio style album I made using the Pinwheel Folio Tutorial from Your Book of Memories .  This folio holds up to 26 - 4" x 6" photos but the way I have it set up it holds 16 4" x 6" photos and 8 4" x 4" photos.  If you make this album you can decide how many of each size photo you want to have.   A walk-thru of the album is below - from my YouTube Channel - The World of Michael Trent .  The box is not part of the tutorial and I made it to fit the album.  I used the coolest digital graffiti/street art papers from a shop on Etsy called Digital Printable Me .  They have 11 different collections of digital graffiti/street art papers for your crafting needs.  You can find the collection with the Superman paper, HERE .  Here are photos of the book/box: I hope you enjoyed this folio/album and maybe it has inspired you to make an album or folio for your memories.  Until next time...
