Studio Calico Front Row Kits!

Hello, everyone!
 
I'm here tonight to share my projects using the new


 
I have had SO much fun this month playing with these beautiful kits! This month, I picked up he Front Row Card Kit, Front Row Project Life Kit, Add On 2: Popcorn, and Add On 4: Junior Mints.
 
So... let's get started! I have a whopping 7 projects to share with you this month!
(All supplies are linked after each project)
 
I created 3 projects this month featuring the Front Row Card Kit only! Here they are!
 
 
I made this sweet little 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" card with the fun "Call Me Maybe" stamp from the Card Kit! I LOVE the look of black stamped on ink and highlighted the stamped image with these cute enamel dots!
 
"Call Me Maybe" Supplies:


 

 
This card was a lot of fun to make! I started with a bunch of scraps from the Front Row Card Kit 6x6 pad. I cut the scraps into rectangles and created this blocked pattern on a piece of white cardstock. Then, I cut the top of the blocked pattern layer diagonally and adhered it to the card base. I stamped the super fun sentiment, "let's stay connected," along the top and finished it off with some of the awesome twine from the kit!
 
"Let's Stay Connected" Supplies:


 
 

 
I tried something NEW with these cute little mini cards! Before cutting the hexagon shapes with my Silhouette Cameo, I taped strips of paper from the Front Row Card Kit 6x6 pad onto a sheet of copy paper. I ran that sheet of paper strips through my Cameo (using the heavy cardstock cut settings) and it cut beautifully! I love how the strips of patterns line up in the hexagon shapes! I finished them off with a bold sentiment and some enamel dots!
 
"Hello Card Set" Supplies:


 
 
 
And here are a few more cards that I created with the Front Row Card Kit and also the Front Row Project Life Kit, Add On 2: Popcorn, and Add On 4: Junior Mints!
 
 
I am IN LOVE with the digital files this month! This is one of the digital cut files and it made this card come together SO quickly! I saw a challenge to make a masculine Valentine's Day card while browsing the message boards and knew just what I wanted to do. The woodgrain layered behind the sentiment cut is from the Front Row Project Life kit! The other papers are from the Front Row Card Kit!
 
"I Love You" Supplies:


 
 
 
 
I love it when you can cut out elements of patterned paper and turn them into fun embellishments! I cut out this flower blossom from paper in the Add-On 4: Junior Mints kit and adhered it with a foam square to accent this amazing sentiment! The sentiment is from the Front Row Card Kit! I think this card has a very French feel, don't you!? Hehe!
 
"Bonjour!" Supplies:


 
 

 
I can't help but love the beautiful woodgrain pattern of this paper from Add-On 2: Popcorn! It's just GORGEOUS! And the wood veneer sentiments are absolutely perfect to add quickly to the front of a card! I white-washed this "Hello" speech bubble with Picket Fence Distress Stains before adding it so it would coordinate nicely with the woodgrain paper!
 
"Hello" Supplies:


 

 
When I saw this 3x4 card in the Front Row Project Life Kit, I knew that I wanted it on the front of a card! This beautifully illustrated 3x4 card is front and center- accented by a neutral sheet of patterned paper from the Front Row Card Kit! I finished it off with some fun and sparkly silver sequins!
 
"To The Moon" Supplies:



Thank you so much for stopping by and having a look at my projects! You are all going to LOVE these kits!

Project Life 2013 Title Page and a GIVEAWAY! :)

Hi there!

I have been a VERY bad blogger and I'm so sorry! I'm here today to share my title page for our 2013 Project Life album! I'm SO excited about the Studio Calico Project Life Kit! I'm going to be using that kit each month on my pages with a mix of stuff from my stash- should be really fun!


I had my Mom take some family photos for us while they were here visiting for Christmas! I think they really show how ridiculous our family is.. lol... Gotta love that my hubby chose a light saber prop for our photo. Geez. But I truly love it- shows the real US. 

I used a lot of elements from the January Project Life Kit- the beautiful 4x6 and 3x4 cards, the woodgrain labels, the 2013 badge... just so much fun!

I also added some digital stamps to our family picture- these are the Studio Calico Day by Day digital stamp brushes.

If you are interested in the Studio Calico Project Life Kits- click HERE to sign up and get on the waiting list! They're increasing quantities to meet the demand for these awesome kits! You definitely want it!

And.... as an apology for my lack of blogging.... how about a giveaway!?

Comment on this post for your chance to win TWO of my stamp sets! 
Up for grabs- Growth AND Funky Herringbone! 
Woot! 
I'll draw a winner on Friday, January 18th! 



Thanks for stopping by! :)
