Label Framelets Video by Mary Brown (Stampin' Up! Demonstrator)

I recently posted this fun card using the NEW Label Thinlits from Stampin’ Up!  I figured out a fun and easy way to add the DSP to the back panel (and yes….you can just change the size and use it for the top panel!) and I thought it would be fun to make a video to show this technique.
On the video the technique is shown on the first couple of minutes but then if you continue on…you will see how I made the whole card.  At the very end I give a supply list will all the sizes of everything you need…easy to get everything you need right there.




Thank you, Mary, for your fabulous video!!

Caged Florals

Good morning, folks!  I've created a summery country card to share with you today.  My card starts with a card base of 8.5" x 4.25" of Kraft cardstock, folded in half. I cut a smaller piece of polka dot paper from the funVintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad and adhered it to the card base. While I had this paper pad out, I fell in love with the floral text paper, so I cut a 3" square of that and matted it with a slightly larger Kraft cardstock base.

I thought it would be fun to ramp up the "country-ish-ness" of this by adding a panel of chicken wire over the floral paper, so I cut out theChicken Wire (Cheery Lynn Designs) from Kraft cardstock. To get this to look silver, I dabbed over the Chicken Wire die cut with the Brushed Pewter Distress Stain - it works GREAT for coloring delicate die cuts like this!

To age the silver chicken wire a bit, I ran a black ink pad over it - just randomly here and there. I wiped off some of the black ink with a tissue to distress it further - love that look. It's just a hint of black here and there so the silver really comes through.

Next, I cut a small piece of the polka dot paper and notched the ends with scissors. I added a little piece of a Mini Fanciful Flourish die cut (Cheery Lynn Designs) to the left side and glued a white button over that. The last thing I did was cut the Mini Butterfly (Cheery Lynn Designs) and affixed it to the button.

I love these papers! The butterfly and the chicken wire die cuts match perfectly with these papers for that sweet little country touch. :-)  As always, you can use this code, Holly-10, to save 10% off your orders at Classy Cards 'n Such.  You can order any of the above items that are underlined (click on them to go shopping) or anything else that catches your fancy in the shop.  I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Flower Shaped Crocheted Coasters

Flower Coasters Pattern

January 10, 2013 by ChiWei
Difficulty:  Easy

Do you crochet?  Or do you want to learn how to crochet?  Well, stay tuned because in a few short weeks, I’ll be having my very first Crochet-Along right here on this little ol’ blog!  We’ll be choosing a project to work on together and going through the pattern with lots of pictures and lessons on the basics.  I’ve also teamed up with a few of my favorite crocheting friends to help answer any questions you may have, and offer some awesome prizes to those who participate.  Excited yet?  The crochet along will start at the beginning of February, so keep in touch and you won’t miss the fun!

Now onto the pattern!  These little flower coasters are perfect under a pint glass (with beer? rootbeer?) or under a mug, perhaps matched up with a mug cozy for a quick gift.  Or switch it up, and use it as a facial scrubber.  By the way, this will be one of the patterns up for the Crochet-Along pattern vote, so take a look and enjoy!  I’m pretty new to writing patterns, so let me know if there’s anything that is difficult to understand.

If you’d like to sell items from this pattern or share it with your friends, I just ask that you give credit back to One Dog Woof.  Please do not repost or re-distribute the pattern in its entirety.  Thanks!
What you’ll need:
G size (4.25 mm) crochet hook
1 ball Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn
stitch marker
yarn needle
Abbreviations:
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
Mark the end of each round with the stitch marker, since the pattern is worked in a continuous spiral.
Round 1: Start with a magic ring.  Work 6 sc into the ring.
Round 2:   Work 2 sc in each sc of previous round.  (12 sc)
Round 3:   Repeat *sc in next sc. 2 sc in next sc* around. Do not join. (18 sc)
Round 4:   Repeat *sc in each of the next 2 sc. 2 sc in next sc* around (24 sc)
Round 5:   Repeat *sc in each of the next 3 sc. 2 sc in next sc* around (30 sc)
Round 6:   Repeat *sc in each of the next 4 sc. 2 sc in next sc* around (36 sc)
Round 7:   Skip 1 sc. *sl st in next sc. skip 1 sc. 5 dc in next sc. skip 1 sc* around.  Join with a sl st to the last stitch of previous round.  Fasten off and weave in ends.

Beaded Wedding Cake Card by

Beaded Wedding Cake

Okay, one more beaded card for you to peruse.
I am having a garage sale tomorrow and have been busy getting ready for that.
This card I did last week - no time for a new card today.

Again, using a pattern, I pricked holes in a piece of whisper white card stock and using pink and silver polyester thread, as well as pink and silver/white beads beaded the wedding cake,
It looks more complicated than it actually is.  I have done so many of these I can probably do it blind folded.  This is probably my most popular beaded wedding card.
I chose not to put a sentiment on the front of the card so as not to detract from the beading.
The bow, made with white organza ribbon,however, adds a touch of sophistication. 

The base card is Basic Black, layered with a gray wedding paper.
