Ink To Paper Organization Challenge - Cardstock

Hello everyone....

Playing along with Ink to Paper and their organization challenge. Today it is all about storing cardstock and I suppose pattern paper also falls into that category.

I keep my cardstock on a shelf inside a Billy bookcase from IKEA. I can easily see the colours on the shelf to select what I want.

 Pattern paper I store in two ways. The larger 12x12 sheets are stored in these plastic bins from Michaels and I have them loosely sorted by colour. 

The smaller pads of paper I keep in the top of this cart where I can easily go through them to find what I want.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hoping you have a wonderful day. Cheers....

Ink To Paper Organization Challenge - Die Storage

Hello everyone....

Ink To Paper had a great blog post today which is in conjunction with their organization challenge. Today's post was all about die storage.

For myself, I favour the method I first saw on Jennifer McGuire's blog which is the use of Stamp Pockets. I have been using this method for some time now and I really love it.

Here is a photo of the bins that hold my Papertrey Ink/Ink to Paper dies.

Thanks for stopping by. Cheers....

Gina K Designs December 2019 Challenge

Hello everyone....

I am playing along with the Gina K Designs December 2019 challenge which is to create any sort of tag using stamps by Gina K.

I have used two stamp sets, oldies but goodies in my opinion. 

The pale little hearts you can see on the background are from Nana's Needlework and the focal image of the tulips is from one of my all time favourites by Gina K called Stenciled Spring.

I have used a small piece of silk ribbon from my stash to make a dainty little bow for the top.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day. Cheers.

Laurie's Favorites #4

Hello and welcome...

Laurie's Favorite challenge over at Papertrey Ink is to use one of their dies to make a gift container.

I have chosen to use the matchbox dies from All Through The House.

I have used a dark green cardstock for the inside of the box and a bright green polka dot for the wrap and topped it in white. Added an interesting green ribbon and some fabric flowers to finish off.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day. Cheers...

Laurie's Fabulous Favorites #4

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog....

My card today is for Laurie's challenge at Papertrey Ink to use our favourite type of embellishment. Mine are both their felt and their buttons and I have used both on my card.

I have used Corner Adorner: February stamps and dies, Berry Wreath Tag and Big Basics: Wish Big for my card.

I have used the Corner Adorner die to cut out the felt flowers from Lemon Tart and Berry Sorbet for the corners and topped them with a Ripe Avocado button.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Would love you to leave me your comments. Have a wonderful day.

Cheers...

Laurie's Fabulous Favorites #3

Hello and welcome...

I am playing along with Papertrey Ink today for Laurie's challenge to use a stand alone die on a card.

I have actually used three of them, Bold Borders: Yuletide,  Tag Sale Quilted die and Big Basics: Winter Wishes.

I wanted a very soft look so chose to use chalks in two shades of greens. It turned out exactly as I had hoped it would. Layered up the dies, added an organdy bow at the top and a few pearls and all done.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a terrific day. Cheers.

Laurie's Fabulous Favorites #2

Hello everyone and welcome....

Alas, I am still sick. I have a card for this Papertrey Ink challenge but it is simplicity itself as that is all that my germ filled head could come up with.

The challenge was to use our favourite colour of card stock. Well...mine is white. I love using white and I love monochromatic cards. So here it is. I have used the Bold Borders: Flurries die and that is it.  It seems appropriate as the snow is at least 3 feet deep here where I live and let us not forget that it is never too early to start on Christmas cards. 

Cut everything from white card stock and just layered it up. Now I can take a couple aspirin and go and lie down again.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful day. Cheers.
