Long Altered Notepad

 

Quite awhile ago I went into an office supply store and purchased a package of note pads and then had them cut the pads into 3 pieces the long way... Well needless to say you end up with quite a few notepads and I have lots left to use up!  

 

I put this one together quickly by cutting a piece of the white card board that comes with the designer series paper packages  and adding some Neutrals color collection designer series paper to it with a glue stick. 

 

Then, I attached the note pad to that with some tear and tape adhesive and added some decorations using the All God's Grace stamp set, itty bitty punches and basic rhinestones.

 

Supplies:

All God's Grace

Basic Gray ink

Whisper White, Soft Sky and Calypso Coral card stock

decorative label punch

itty bitty accents punches

Washi Tape Fun

 

I was playing around with some clothespins and washi tape one day and this is what I ended up with.  Each one has a small magnet on the back so it can be used on the fridge or magnet board to hold something up.

 

I added a little flower from the itty bitty accents punches and a basic rhinestone in the middle for a little decoration as well.  A cute and simple gift!  You could use designer series paper instead of washi tape if you prefer as well.

Baptism Blessings

I recently need a baptism card and was so glad to have the Blessed by God stamp set available to do it!  Love that set....

 

 

The grid background is actually something I printed in My Digital Studio for another project, it was leftover and I thought it would work for this card too. 

 

The middle of the flowers have basic pearls in them, but they are colored with blendabilities to change their look a little.

Gee, Thanks

 

After making the page I shared with you yesterday I created a card using the Word Bubbles framelits too (and the same designer series paper as well) although they look nothing at all alike!

 

I thought some itty bitty accents punches with basic rhinestones in the middle were nice accents with the designer paper pattern.

Patterns and Textures

 

This card may be a little overboard with different patterns and textures.  I threw in the Chevron folder, Hexagon Hive thinlit, and itty bitty accents punches for texture and the Work of Art stamp set and Flashback designer series paper for patterns. 

 

I might stamp off the chevron image before I stamp behind the sentiment next time to lighten it up a little.

Bravo

 

I know you have seen some samples created with this stamp set, called Bravo.  Another great set with large sentiments that I will really enjoy using a lot!  I paired it with the designer series paper called Flashback and some itty bitty accents stars.

 

This is a pretty quick and easy card to put together with very few elements and only one stamped image.

Hello There

Today's cards are made with another new hostess stamp set called Hello There.  I played around with a few different layouts using the same elements - the Hexagon Hive thinlit, Banner Framelits, Gold Fancy Foil Vellum, Itty bitty accents punches and Blackberry Bliss 3/8" stitched satin ribbon.

 

I added a panel of Blackberry Bliss behind the Fancy Foil Vellum to give it a little darker look.

 

The little flowers are layers of Fancy Foil Vellum and Blackberry Bliss card stock with a basic pearl in the middle.

 

I just love this ribbon!  It is so easy to work with and the color is a favorite as well.
