Carta Bella's So Noted card

Hello and happy Friday!  I cannot believe its September already! It's going to be in the 90's this weekend here in Central Illinois. I admit I'm itching for some fall weather...plus I can't wait to put up my fall decorations! 

Today I am sharing a card I created for The Scrapbooking Studio using Carta Bella' So Noted line.
I love the soft colors and vintage feel of this collection.  It inspired me to go with a different creating style. 

 

 

 

 

I used plain Grunge Board and Tim Holtz's Mini Sewing Room Die to create the dressform.  I covered it with patterned paper and added a cute button, as well as new bakers twine from

The Twinery and a decorative button from Maya Road.



 

Here I used the Fiskars Jenni Bowlin Pennant punch to create this banner. I stitched through with my sewing machine. (To me, nothing is complete without some sewing!)

 

Here is the inside of my card.  I used a few of the coordinating cardstock stickers along with a stamped sentiment from Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi.  I then used my 03 American Crafts journaling pen to sketch around the squares. 

 

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back soon with another project with this line! Have a great day!



Clear Scraps House Acrylic Album

Hello!  Today I'm up on the Clear Scraps blog with a cute mini book! I used the House Acrylic Album and Crate Paper's new Close Knit.  One of the many things I love about Clear Scraps albums is that they are not only great quality, but they have such a large selection. 

 

The House Acrylic Album has different sizes and shapes for each page which allows your work to show through. 

 

 

Love the chipboard pieces from Closely Knit! Here I layered them on the front of my cover and added some decorative pins and heart button from My Mind's Eye. 

 

 

Love this stamp I've had in my stash for some time!   I am a big Wizard of Oz fan so when I saw it, I had to have it! 

 

I used Wendy Vecchi's  Homemade Art stamp set for my book. Love this "blue print" stamp. I also added a wire bird from Maya Road, as well as a cluster of buttons and enamel dots.

 

 

 

Here, I layered alternating strips of patterns that I punched with my scallop border punch.  The "home" and house is a Silhouette cut file. I then added letter stickers from October Afternoon and a chipboard heart from the 12x12 Close Knit sheet.

 

 

I chose this time to leave most of the acrylic pages "bare" but this one I used the Clear Scraps 6 inch Chicken Wire Mascil with Distress Ink to create this fun effect.

 

Here is a close up of the Mascil and paint....
