Chrismari’s Room Banner

September 2, 2010 | Filed Under Hybrid | 2 Comments

I was so inspired last week and I created this gorgeous little project for my daughter’s room. I used my Summer Days Grab Bags (Noon Picnic and the Summer Days Shapes Cutting Files) and my new Banners Set 1 to create these adorable banners.

I layered the 2 different shapes one slightly larger than the other with some pop dots. I also made some medallions with my border punches. Lastly I used Making Memories Glitter Letters to spell out her name. I made some flowers with my Flower Templates and added some gems and lots of clear glitter!

This is sooo darling but I do think next time I will rather use my hot glue gun for all the embellishments! Hope you like it!

Canvas Wall Art

August 28, 2010 | Filed Under Hybrid | 5 Comments

I am so excited to share this project with you today! I created a mini-album for the February 2010 Digital Artist Magazine using Roben-Marie & Audrey’s collab Considering Ruby.

I printed out extras with the idea of making a 9 piece grid with the 3×3 inch squares…which until now has been sitting around in my craft room gathering dust.

While doing some shadow box art pieces I bought a 12×12 Canvas to see if it will work as a display and it did not…aaand then it all came together into this beautiful art project proudly displayed in the dining room…

So what do you think?

It was just so easy to make, I mounted the 3×3 squares onto cardboard…added excerpts from the E. E. Cummings Poem ‘I carry your heart in mine’ and hot glued everything in a grid onto a blank 12×12 canvas.

I just love it! It is so simple but beautiful!

Thanks so much for looking!

I am so excited about this beautiful project! I created these amazing Lace Diecuts for my Cutting Files August Grab Bag and they just spoke to my creative heart! I just had to do something with it. So I printed some papers from my other Summer Days Grab Bag…dont you just LOVE Hybrid? I also love the fact that the 2 coordinate so well together! And I made this insert for a Shadow Box. I am still hunting for the perfect frame.

I also made one for my special friend Michelle…I hope she loves it!

If you want to see how I created these pages please have a look at this Tutorial I wrote on the Cutting Files Blog.

Have a look at some more pictures:

Enjoy and I hope I have inspired you to make your own!

Cupcake Cards

I had the privilege to work with Kelleigh Ratzlaff’s newest venture of Cutting files for Digital Die-Cutters. She already is the Template Queen and now she offers her amazing templates as Cutter Files for most mainstream digital die-cutters. Now I think that is just great since can you just imagine how easy this makes life being able to print out and cut her beautiful templates which is just prefect for gifts? Want to Grab her August Grab Bag? You can get it HERE.

I made a pillow box and 2 cards with an envelope…

I used Echo Park’s new Walk in the Park line and oh boy it is prrretty! I just love how cute and bright the patterns are. I think it all came out real cute! Thanks for looking!

Gardenologie Cards

I have been eyeing this kit by Quirky Twerp for a very long time…Gardenologie. It is soft and feminine with a shabby feel to it. I decided to do a few challenges and this kit was just perfect for it!

My first Card is for the Clean and Simple challenge (CAS76) at Splitcoaststampers.

I pretty much stayed with the sketch but I think it really is such a sweet card.

Next up is my card for the Hybrid Chick Caravan.

I just love the tags included in the kit and can see many uses for it!

Thanks for stopping by!
