Papercraft Haven and More

Hi!  This is Lynda and I want to welcome you to the Scraps To Treasure Team's Monochromatic Blog Hop.  Our goal at STT is to use up all our scraps and leftover embellishments to create wonderful layouts, cards and other projects.  This month we are doing that using different shades of only one color. If you are here from Lucy, then you are in the right place...but if you've just showed up here to see me - make sure you go back to the beginning with is at Paula's blog listed b elow - because the first is always the best anyway!!! Up for grabs is this RAK from our hostess, Paula at http://preciouspagesbypaula.blogspot.com that will be going out to one lucky hopper that is a follower of all the blogs in the hop and has left a comment for each entry. Included in the RAK are: 10 My Mind's Eye Laundry Line Diecuts 2 Basic Grey Bling It On Rubons and Rhinestones 2 Glitz Frosting Bling 1 Martha Stewart Glitter Alphas 1 EK Success Inspirables ...

     Sometimes it's not about using the newest supplies out on the market - really, is anyone that is receiving it going to look at it and say to you, "oh, you didn't use the latest supplies" when you made that!!!  Really, it's about the reason you are making the card and sending it out in the first place.         I love using pinks and browns together, and with this card, I used an ivory card base, with the pink scraps for the base of the card.  Simple paper tearing for one of the background papers, adding the heart die cuts to finish it off.  The inside can either have a simple saying, or left blank in order to customize it to the person you are giving it to.  With this type of card, you can use just about any color for the background paper, as well as something different for the hearts as well.        With this 2 page spread, I used traditional "love" themed paper and embellishments on a not so "lov...

Layout sketch Card sketch I love sketches because you can truly do many different things to them, and either change them around a bit or using the sketch exactly as you see it.   Simply52  designers blog gives you different ideas from different designers to show you ways you can use the sketches that are showcased!  I like to put them on the sketches side to get a totally different look to the card I am creating!  This one would be fun like that! With my idea today, I used scraps from another project I was working on for my classes at Michael's.  I hate to throw things away, so for me, using my leftover scrapbook supplies saves me a lot of money...and helps me to be able to make one of a kind cards for my friends and family! For the card shown here - I used a card base for the background, simple strips of leftover scraps in the colors that match the background, and then a simple circle Sizzix die cut made.  After I attached the c...

This card was a lot of fun to do - using only purple and green for the colors, from a recent Guest Design spot I was in!  From the extra's left over, I made this!   Supplies needed:   Card base  Scraps of paper Stamps - 1 picture, 1 saying Black ink pad (embossable) Black and clear embossing powder Radiant Pearls paint - purple, green, orange, brown, white Directions: Step one:  Cut the base for the card - this is where everything is added. Step two:  Take the white scrap of paper, start to stamp the saying all across the paper.  Add to the purple cardstock base.   Step three:  Create the witch using the black ink pad and black embossing powder.  After this has been heated, then use the radiant pearls paint to paint in the image.  Add clear embossing powder to the painted image and heat.  (You can also use chalks, markers, etc., to paint in the image.)  Step four:  After you have trimmed the image to ...
