A Sweet, Crafty Journal ~ CCS

Good morning my crafty friends.  I've got a sweet, crafty journal project up on the CutCardStock blog for you today.

 

I've used some wonderful colored cardstock from CutCardStock.

 

Plus, these beautiful printed papers and die cuts from Patchwork Roses collection from Uniquely Creative...

 

...and this amazing Snap and Swap die set from Sizzix and 49 and Market.  It is a collaboration die set, and it is a brilliant concept.

 

I hope you'll stop by the CutCardStock blog to see all the details.

 

Happy Crafting!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Bear Hugs ~ TSOC

Hello, hello!  The Sisterhood of Crafters is back from our holiday break and we're starting a new challenge today, asking you to use die cuts and/or an embossing Folder.  Sound fun?

Here's what I came up with, using both embossing and die cuts:

I started by embossing a piece of green cardstock using an FSJ Evergreen embossing folder.  I gently rubbed some Pine Needles DOX ink over the raised areas and cut a circle out of the center.

I stamped this darling image from Uniquely Creative Polar Pals and colored it with Copics.  I backed the circle using a piece of watercolor printed paper, tucked the bears in and stamped the hearts from the stamp set, surrounding the bears with love.

To finish it off, I adhered a  Happy Birthday die cut from My Favorite Things.  

I hope you are inspired to join in on the fun over at The Sisterhood Of Crafters.

This will be co-designer Vicki's last challenge with the team as she'll be taking care of family needs.  I wish you the very best Vicki!
