Studio Calico 2014 & Copper Mountain Sneak Peeks!

  Well yesterday was a very big day at Studio Calico! They announced the 2014 Creative Team and started sneak peeks of the Copper Mountain kits that are available December 27th!

 

I am SO happy to be continuing with Studio Calico in 2014! I'm also happy to be contributing for both the Card Kit and Project Life Kit this year!

 

Here's the new team- such an amazing team- I'm still pinching myself...

You can stop by the Studio Calico blog for a complete list with links to follow all the Creative Team members!

 

 

Like I said, Studio Calico also started sneaks last night! Check out the Copper Mountain kits:

 

 

I got my kits in the mail a couple of days ago and they are just GORGEOUS... I already started making stuff with the card kits!

 

 

This one uses the Copper Mountain Card Kit! LOVE this little whale- SO cute! Such a great stamp set in this kit- really fun and versatile!

 

 

 

And this one uses the Spaulding Bowl Card Add-on! LOVE the colors in this kit and the retro library feel! Really fun script sentiments and great embellishments in this kit!

 

 

I'll be back with more sneaks as I create more with these awesome kits!

 

You can follow me on Instagram and Facebook for more peeks, too!



love life: project life catch up

  Hey!

I don't know about you guys, but something about December makes me want to get all caught up in my Project Life album! Haha! I remember sitting with my family on New Year's Eve last year frantically working to finish up our album- and I did it! I don't know if that will happen this year, but I thought I would at least try!

 

Found these photos stuck on my camera from August and decided to use the Studio Calico Printshop collection to help me get them in the album. LOVE the black and white bold patterns in this collection- and I think they look awesome with these colorful photos!

 

 

I used Hashtagged, Dear John, and Criss Cross papers from the collection along with some regular white and black cardstock. I also added some fun Printshop Sequins and Mini Badges!

 

I had some fun with the Printshop Digital Cut Files, too! The "fave" script word and the bubble border under the bottom photo are from the Printshop Fave Cut Files and the fun oval frame around Sophia's pretty face is from the Printshop Mama Mushroom Cut Files.

 

LOVE these cut files.... so fun! And perfect for Project Life!

HAPPY HELLO!

  Hello!

 

Popping in tonight with a cute little mini card!

 

I am having so much fun with the new Printshop collection from Studio Calico! It is a beautiful mix of colors and patterns- definitely one of my favorite collections in a long time!

 

 

Oh the stars and sequins and that fun sentiment... love this collection so much!

 

 

 

I layered a bunch of fun patterns (Watercolors, Dear John, and Monochromatic) and then added a fun sentiment strip using the Scripty Words Rub-ons. These Wood Veneer Handdrawn Stars are easily one of my favorite embellishments of the year- SO fun! And I can't seem to make a card without a few sequins!

 

You should definitely check out this fabulous collection- super fun!

 

Studio Calico December Kits: Blue Note

 

  HI!

 

Happy Thanksgiving Eve and, of course, happy REVEAL DAY!
I'm here tonight to share my projects using the BLUE NOTE Card Kit, and COLE Card Add-on!

The kits will be available to all at midnight tonight- they're available for subscribers now!

 

Here are my projects this month!

 

I had so much fun creating this card! I stamped the blue stars to create my own pattern and made the cake with a few of the patterned papers from the Blue Note Card Kit!

 

LOVE these fun fabric flowers from the Blue Note Card Kit! Paired it with this fun sentiment and cool star sequins to create this fun card for a friend!

 

 

 

These stamps are simple amazing! That tree has so much detail and the snowflakes are just perfect! I had so much fun building this pretty winter scene! All the supplies used on this card are from the Cole Card Add-on!

 

 

 

That stamp has got to be THE cutest sentiment stamp EVER! Love it so much! It's in the Cole Card Add-on! I had some fun with my Cameo on this one, too- the sweet snowflakes are from the Blue Note Winter Cut Designs!

 

I thought I'd use some of the digital cut files this month to get a head start on some holiday tags! I cut all the tag designs with my Cameo (subscribers get $20 off until midnight EST tonight!) and then backed them with patterns found in the Blue Note Card kit, Cole add-on, and Blue Note PL kit!

 

As always, you can view all of my projects and full supply lists in my GALLERY!

 

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! :)

MOXIE FAB THANKS! BLOG HOP

I am so honored to be participating in such an amazing blog hop today! You should be arriving at my blog from Kim Makortoff's blog! You can also find a full list of hop participants on the Moxie Fab World blog!

 

It was definitely a shock and so sad to see Cath moving on from the Moxie Fab World- she will absolutely be missed by so many...

 

In the wake of the news, an absolutely amazing group of crafters has come together to wish Cath luck and thank her for the continuous enthusiasm, motivation, and moxie fabulousness that helped us all take our crafting to the next level! She pushed us to step out of the box, try something new, and have fun doing it. She challenged us to follow the trends, find beauty everyday, and try our absolute best.

 

She was (and will always be) THE inspiration!

 

I wanted to share this card with Cath today- we love you, girl! You will always be an incredible source of inspiration for me and so many of us. I don't know what I'm going to do without my daily dose of moxie fab. Thank you so much for everything you've taught me over the past few years- you're awesome!

 

The next stop on the hop is the amazing Alyssa Scritchfield!

 

Happy hopping!

Studio Calico November Kits: CUPPA

  HI!

 

Have you seen the new CUPPA kits from Studio Calico!?

They're AVAILABLE NOW- run over to the shop and check em out!

 

Today, I'm sharing some cards that I made with the Cuppa Card Kit and the Cuppa PL Kit!

 

 

LOVE this chalkboard paper from the Cuppa Card Kit! I cut out the floral image and added it to my card with foam tape. The sentiment is super fun, too!

 

 

 

I absolutely adore the stamp set in the Cuppa Card Kit! I created this fun background with the stamps, added some fun black stars, and this super simple sentiment!

 

 

 

I fell head over heels for this beautiful letterpress card in the Cuppa Project Life Kit! I knew I wanted it to be a focal point on my card! I stamped a card base with some arrows and let the letterpress card shine!

 

 

 

I had so much fun with this digital cut file from the Cuppa Cozy Cut Files from Catherine Davis! That woodgrain cut design is so awesome! I added a sentiment (framed by more of that awesome chalkboard paper!) and some black stars!

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today to see my cards! You can find full supply lists in my GALLERY!

 

And have you checked out the new Studio Calico website!? It's BEAUITFUL! Take some time and check it out!
