CHA projects: Studio Calico Essentials Collection + A GIVEAWAY!

Hello!

 

I had so much fun creating my projects for CHA this year and I'm excited to share them with you!

 

Today I'm going to share two cards that I created featuring the new Essentials collection from Studio Calico! This collection features your favorite stash staples in every color of the rainbow - plus a few must have neutrals like GOLD and WOODGRAIN! Yup- definitely must haves to me!

 

This card is all about those pretty rainbow colored geotags! I got the idea to use the geotags as raindrops and I just love the way it turned out!

 

 

I also created this fun Valentine's Day card with some of the chipboard hearts and sequins from the Essentials collection! Love all the coordinating colors!

 

 

This collection will be available this spring and will include cardstock, chipboard shapes, sequins, alphas, flag clips, clothespins, enamel dots, and even a Mr. Huey's watercolor set!

 

 

How would you like to win some of these goodies before you can even buy them?

 

Here's your chance!

 

 

Follow my blog and comment on this post for your chance to win!

I'll randomly choose a winner on January 31st!

 

Good luck!

Studio Calico ROUNDABOUT cards AND a WINNER!

  Hi!

I'm here tonight to share the cards I made with the new ROUNDABOUT kits from Studio Calico! I'm seriously IN LOVE with the kits this month- I still have so much playing to do!

Here's what I've made so far (full supply lists can be seen in my GALLERY!)

 

 

I had SO much fun with the stamps in the Roundabout Card Kit this month! I started by stamping the cross pattern repeatedly to make my own pattern. Then, I colored some of the crosses in to coordinate with the Pier "Carousel" paper! I am absolutely in love with the sentiment, too!

 

 

When I saw the stamp set in the Coconut Grove Card Kit Add-on, I knew that I had to have that kit! The mix and match balloons are super fun and this set is PERFECT for quick birthday cards!
On this one, I stamped several balloons and colored them with Copic markers. I used my colorless blender to make some fun designs on a few of the balloons!

 

I love it when there are fun little bits on 12x12 paper that you can cut out and use on cards! This sentiment is from a sheet in the Savannah Shore Add-on Kit! Love it and knew that I was going to make a card with it the second I saw it!
The Coconut Grove Card Add-on Kit comes with 2 beautiful rolls of Hemptique twine this month! I used the green here!
And check out those super sweet pink dots! They're called "Candi Mini's" and they're in the Coconut Grove Card Add-on, too!

 

 

This card features products from the beautiful Savannah Shore Add-on Kit! I LOVE the feminine florals in this kit- they pair so nicely with the metallic bits! These copper alphas are BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

 am having so much fun with the Peerless Transparent Watercolor Papers! On this one, I watercolored over the mask from the Savannah Shore Add-on- it created this really fun pattern! Then, I went over it with some watered down copper mist and also sprayed the mist lightly. I finished it off with some gold stars (stamp from the Coconut Grove Card Add-on) and this amazing sentiment (stamp from the Roundabout Card Kit). LOVE the way it turned out!

 

I used a lot of lovely digital items for this card! I have been LOVING these beautiful Digital Layout Templates and this month is no different! I started with Roundabout Digital Compass Frame and then added some fun Digital Stamp Brushes: Roundabout Card Kit Brushes and Project Life Brushes! I printed it out and adhered it to a card base- super easy and really fun!

 

Like I said- I feel like I have so much more I want to create with these beautiful kits! Hopefully I'll have some TIME soon and I'll post something!

BACK TO SCHOOL GIVEAWAY!!

  Hi, there!

 

It's back to school time! Have you all started back yet? Getting ready for those lovely carpool lines, packing lunches, and the homework battle? Haha!

 

I'm feeling kinda like an empty nester these days! My little guy, Austin, started full-time Pre-K this year! I seriously don't know what I'm going to do with myself from 8-2:30 each day! LOL! I've had a few crafty friends give me some suggestions, but I don't think hubby's going to be happy coming home to a paper scrap mess each day!

 

Here are a couple pictures of my *very silly* boys on their first day yesterday!

 

 

To celebrate the first day of school, I have a GIVEAWAY!

 

It just so happens that I designed a couple of stamp sets that are PERFECT for the back to school season- Teacher Notes and ABC Background!

 

 

All you need to do is leave a comment below for your chance to win!
