Lullaby Gift Carton

~ moanaj ~ 1 Comment

It has been a while since I have scattered flowers across a project like this.  But sometimes, you just really want to.  I like trying an unlikely pairing and seeing how it turns out.  Especially when it works!

I started with the paper, thought of the cute baby tag idea and decided it needed flowers.  Even though we traditionally put boys with blue and not flowers so much, doesn’t mean we have to stick to it.

It would be easy enough to swap out the tag for something else though.  I do like a versatile project, don’t you?

Each day brings me new opportunities to stretch my mind and try to challenge myself without too much frustration. Quite the interesting balance sometimes.

Chalk Talk Retirement Party

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

How about this for an overdone party.  I really should set some limits with myself, because seriously, six cards and two bags for one blog post is just a bit much.  But hey, it is a party right?

Chalk Talk

The designer paper I used was so fun.  I guess that is why I ended up with two sets, because each side of the paper was too cute.  I am used to having paper around for a catalog year, but I do tend to get attached to the colors.  I really did enjoy the 2013-2015 In Colors.

The stamp set Chalk Talk is retiring, but the framelit isn’t.  So, maybe a new set will be available?  We will have to wait and see.

For a little throw back I used the stretch ribbon from last years catalog.  It was really fun to play with.  This is a reminder to me to get the items I want that are retiring before they run out.

Well, I am running behind for sure with all my crafting.  Off to another adventure!

Crazy About You Little Birthday Buddy

This is one of the times where you don’t even have to think about coordination much at all.  I wanted some chevrons in a baby card.  Done.  Pull the matching colors and some awesome tools and there you have it!

Crazy About You Little Birthday Buddy

A girlfriend had asked about baby shower invitations with some of these components and I made some demos.  They decided to do something different with photographs and never got to see these.  So, I got to have the design fun and get to use the projects myself.  Sounds like a win to me.

This little matching bag is not quite the size of the matching card, but it is so precious.  Just right for a tiny gift and a gift card.  What more could you ask for?

I think the little characters in the Little Birthday Buddy set are so adorable.  I had fun coloring this toucan with the coordinating ink colors using blending pens.  You always have the right marker color with those awesome tools.

Day one of the Utah trip has begun nicely.  I got a surprise visit from my niece and got to shower my mother with beautiful cards.  Awesome.  Now I get to help her get caught up on her paper pumpkin kits.  Also awesome!

Have a creative day!

Adventure Awaits with Lullaby?

Sometimes traditional, sometimes floral, and sometimes, just right.  That is how I feel about the projects for today.  They came together so effortlessly.  I guess when you are in the zone good things happen.

Adventure Awaits

Can you believe these designer papers came out of the lullaby set?  They could speak baby, I guess, but really have a lot more uses than that.  Super fun with even a twist of masculine.

I snatched the anchor from the Guy Greetings set to add to the nautical theme.  My husband told me that the color combination felt like the beach.  Guess it worked.

I brought in the spots stamp from the Perpetual Birthday set and it gave just the right touch.  The largest spot is the exact size as the small epoxy sticker from the sticker set.  Things just lined right up!  I do love decorating the inside of the card to match.

With the square and circle framelits to do my cutting, it kept the sentiments large but still a nice layering effect.  I have gotten into 1/8″ boarders on my layering.  Those are hard to line up without using tombo adhesive to wiggle it into place.  Love that stuff.  And I even got to use more of my Sale-a-bration ribbon stash!  Winning all around!

Have a creative day!
