Baby Chicklet

Popping in with a quick baby card using the adorable Baby chicklet from the DigiStamp Boutique store.

This is a fun image that works equally well for a baby boy or girl, depending on the color scheme. I just love the little chick peeping out from her carriage!

Have a good one. Hope to be back soon with another card.

I'm Back!

Long time, no blog.  Things have been crazy busy here between work, job searches and family events. It felt so good to FINALLY finish a card. Whew! I have got to make more time for crafting!

Even though I haven't done my Mothers' Day shopping yet (eek!), I'm looking ahead to Fathers' Day. I thought this Alf image, Dad's Shed, was just perfect for a Fathers' Day card!

Supplies: Dad's Shed (DSB), sentiment (DSB), grass border punch (Fiskars), 

cloud and bunny dies (Memory Box), white fun flock, Copics and colored pencils.

There are so many great Alf images, which can be found HERE in the DigiStamp Boutique. Go check them out!

Curtain Call

This is a sad week for the Totally Papercrafts team. After a long and successful run, we will be closing down the blog after this week. It was not a decision that we made lightly or quickly. We will miss bringing you challenges and seeing all of your wonderful creations! Please be sure to join us this week for our last hurrah. It's a really fun challenge - Tag It! - and we're being sponsored by a terrific company - Crafty Sentiments - run by one of our own teammates, Suzette.

For my card, I chose this adorable digistamp from Suzette's store. He's called Henry and I think he's just the sweetest!

So, please head on over to the Totally Papercrafts challenge blog this week and join us in our farewell challenge! You could win 3 digital stamps of your choice (including Henry!) from Crafty Sentiments.

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #213

Happy Friday! It's been a while since I've been able to participate, so I'm especially excited to bring you a new Totally Papercrafts challenge! This week's challenge is a fun one - Pastel (i.e., use pastel colors in your card). This is a perfect challenge for the upcoming Easter holiday. So for my card, I chose this adorable chick from the DigiStamp Boutique Cute Chicklets - Easter collection.

I just love this little guy!

You remember the drill - hop on over to the Totally Papercrafts challenge blog to check out the rest of the design teams' fab projects, leave them a little papercrafting love and then join us for a chance to win a prize from this week's sponsor - Stamp and Create.

Birthday Quacky

Hooray! I'm so glad that spring is finally here. (Even if it comes with tornado warnings and hail here in the American Midwest.) And, along with the flowers that are popping up out of my garden, there are some fantastic spring inspired images popping up in the DigiStamp Boutique store. I am especially fond of the new Birthday Quacky:

I'm still on a bit of a kick to use up old papers and scraps, so I traveled in the Way Back Machine and used some papers from my days with The Angel Company.

Enjoy! I'll be back on Friday with a Totally Papercrafts post.

Pop-Out Card

I am not usually a fancy folds kind of cardmaker, but I saw this on Facebook and had to give it  a try:

It's a "Pop Out" card and I found a very easy to follow tutorial on the Craftwork Cards blog, written by a crafter named Hazel.

Here are a few other views of the card:

For my inside sentiment/image, I used this great set from DigiStamp Boutique: Flower and heart circles. I wanted something soft and round with all of those sharp angles. My papers are an assortment of SU! (green), Creative Memories (pink floral/swirl) and Penny Lane by My Minds Eye (stripe).

The finished card is pretty large (6" square) and pretty bulky, so this isn't a card I can see myself making very often. But Hazel's tutorial was easy to follow and it was a lot of fun to make, so I'm sure I'll be making another one in the future.
