Love Layout Project for My Sheri Crafts

I love Valentine's Day no matter how commercialized it seems. I always make it a point to be off on that day. I made a layout with a "love" them in mind. The paper is from Webster's Pages, and I made the frames using paper from Basic Grey's Two Scoops 12x12 Collection Kit and the Classic Frame by Spellbinders. The flowers and pearl swirls are from Prima. The sentiments, and flourishes are from Home Decor. With the exception of "memories", which I had cut at 3/4, they were all cut at 1".

Pearl Anniversary Card for My Sheri Crafts

I was inspired by pearls when I made this card. I used paper from DCWV's Luxury paper stack that I layered over paper with a quatrefoil pattern from Me and My Big Ideas. I chose a monochromatic palette, focusing on shimmery silvers and pearls. I used the resist technique when I stamped the Silhouette Kiss image from Inkadinkado; then sprayed the image with mist and stamped over it with a script stamp. The sentiment was computer generated and I used my Spellbinders dies for the frames and the tag. The corner punch was Eyelet Lace from Martha Stewart. The heart-shaped pearls are from Recollections and I used Liquid Pearls to finish off the card.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

....that's "May You Become Prosperous" in Cantonese, a popular greeting during the Chinese New Year. For this week's Asian theme project for My Sheri Crafts, I decided to make some coin envelopes, to spread prosperity around. I used my Gypsy and my Zooballoo cartridge. The dimensions are: height: 3" and width: 11". It is larger than your usual coin envelope, but I was thinking of being able to use them for mini albums as well. I used cardstock from DCWV which I embossed using embossing folders from Cuttlebug's Asian Bundle. The stamped images are Asian Characters from Inkadinkado, which I heat-embossed using Red Dragon embossing powder from Stamp 'n Stuff. I just added strips of washi paper to compete the design.

Organic Layouts

This week's theme at My Sheri Crafts is "Organic". My hubby and a couple of other friends and I went on a nature hike on April last year. I decided to make a couple of layouts with the theme in mind. The paper were from from Webster's Pages, and Anna Griffin. The green paper for the photo mats were from Me And My Big Ideas. The flowers and lace were from Prima. The sinamay was sent to me from the Philippines. I had cut a journaling tag using my Spellbinder's dies and I embossed it using my Cuttlebug Leafy Branch embossing folder. The other journaling tag was also cut using Spellbinders. I used pop squares to add more dimension to the round tag, and Billy's picture.

Bling It On!

Our focus for this week at My Sheri Crafts is bling! I have been looking forward to spring and warmer weather, so I decided to use one of my favorite colors--pink! I used paper from Basic Grey's Eva Collection Kit . I made an A2 sized gatefold card and cut a couple of square medallions using the smaller square die from Spellbinders' Fleur De Lis Pendant. The flower borders were from Paper Lace, cut at 1 1/4". I used crystals from The Paper Studio and pearls from Recollections to add dimension to the card.

Cocoa Packet Holder

This is the second project for this week at My Sheri Crafts. The paper is from Basic Grey's Offbeat paper pad. The snowflake was cut at 3 1/2" using Winter Lace. The cup was from Joys Of The Season, cut at 2".

I used chalk to shade the cup and the tag for the sentiment. The sentiment was computer-generated.

Inside the card is a pocket for the cocoa packet (a pocket for a packet...lol!:-D). I embossed it using my Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder and I used chalk to emphasize the design.

Snowflake Card

I got inspired to make two projects for My Sheri Crafts this week, and here's the first one. :-) I used paper from Momenta's Jack Frost line. I used my Winter Lace cartridge and cut the center snowflake at 3 1/2". The two smaller snowflakes were cut at 2" and I used pop dots for added dimension. I cut the other snowflake in half so it would look like it's part of the paper. I used a border punch from EK Success to create the snowflake paper lace at the left side of the card. The sentiment was computer-generated and cut using my Spellbinders die. The ribbon was from last year's winter swap at the Cricut message board. The crystals were from the dollar bin at Michael's.
