Alice Arisu Wonderland or Bust!

Hello everyone in this post I will be showing you a finished project. This was one of those projects where you aren't sure where to start out but you end up finishing with something really great. In this project I used two pieces of pink colored card stock, pastel pink pigment inks from Michaels. If you want to know what I think of those inks then ready my review here . So here is how I made this set of cards. The mini folder can be used to hold items it is about half the size of a regular file folder or less. I took my Darice embossing folder and embossed the two sheets of colored card stock. Then I scored and cut my card into a panel. I stamped my sentiments on white card stock and gave them some dimension with foam squares. The mini file folder is really easy to make if you have the We Are Memory Keepers File folder punch board or the 123 Punch Board. I do not own to the File Punch (though I want it), I used the 123 Board, on the board there is an arrow shaped punch and that c...

So  I am hoping to continue a series of "Makeup Monday" where I post what makeup I am using, a picture of how it came out and what look I came up with. So first let me begin by posting the picture of the products I used and I will let you know how it went: The only things I haven't shown, simply because I forgot is a Laura Mercier blush and a Makeup Revolution bronzer which I slept on all year but is amazing! Get yourself some Makeup Revolution it is so good. Products  Here is how the look came out, I chose to use the LA Colors Day & Night Palette. This palette is full of violets and oranges which are great colors to use together if you have darker skin these they are complimentary to darker or yellow beige tones. So all you really need is a tan to pull off a shimmery neutral look. I can say if you have light or fair skin that is more pink toned it probably will look more dramatic since the colors will not blend in with your skin tone as much they will look...

Hi everybody so in this blog I'm going to be talking about these CraftSmart inks from Michaels. After using them I can say I really like them and I'm going to insert a picture so you can see which colors I've purchased. So of course to begin I would like to discuss that these are coming across as pigment inks and I don't have a reason to think that they are dye inks as they are very very opaque, non transparent and they take a long time to dry. These packs came in sets of 6 and we're only $2. These are more than a deal for anyone who uses inks on a regular basis. Honestly inks can cost you when you are trying to build your stash so if you do come across these gems I greatly suggest buying some. There were several different sets but mainly the colors were pastels as I've shown above. These are a great bargain if you're looking to save money on crafting. Only one Michaels near me had them out so they might be hard to find in some areas, good luck.

Hello my name is Nicole and welcome to my blog, in this post I will list 3 projects and a link to my video where I am creating the Mother Goose tag. Here is what I enjoy about crafting with paper, I can make functional work like a greeting card, envelopes and stationary for planners or calendars or I can make art work for decoration. Paper crafting has been a long time hobby of mine and I enjoy creating tags and letters mainly, I actually think I can make tags all day. I like creating mixed media, ever since I took a class on it in college. I like to make embellishments for my pieces but I also love stickers and cut-a-part's because they guarantee to match with whatever paper collection I am using. Below you will see three projects I created, two are using the Graphic 45 paper collection Mother Goose 8x8 pad. The last one is using the Prima Something Blue 6x6 stack. I hope you enjoy my paper creations! The first project is my Mother Goose tag. I love nursery rhymes and fairy ta...

Tonight I created a wall hanging from a wooden frame I bought from AC Moore. I used flowers from my local discount store, not Dollar Tree. The paper is Prima's Something Blue paper pack. I cut some of the journal cards out to stuff into the pocket I made. I made the pocket by gluing three journal cards together and embellished them with washi tape on the sides. I painted the frame with gold paint and while it was wet I poured glitter onto the frame. I love how this turned out and will go right onto the wall in my room. 

Now this is not a true card in size, but i was inspired by flip books and wanted to make one. However this isnt really a flip book either. I loaded it with journal cards and a packet full of confetti. When I get a snail mail pen pal I will have a letter ready to send. This card features also an envelope that I made from scrap paper and used it as a pocket to hold some more journal cards. I really love that I was able to make a full project out of the scraps I has left from my tag, I used the 8x8 mother goose collection from graphic 45.

Here is my first blog post for graphic 45's design team cast call. This tag is using the Mother Goose 8x8 collection. I also cut pieces from the Prima nursery rhyme collection journal card book. I made a pocket with the journal card and fussy cut some flowers to make a cluster on one side. I love the way this tag came out because I have admired the work of many youtubers and bloggers who make amazing work with graphic 45 papers and I am happy to see that I can also create something amazing. I also filmed a youtube video that I will link as soon as I am done editing it so everyone can see the process.
