C'est Magnifique Guest Designer Part II for September

Tuesday greetings, I'm super excited to be hosting the blog on over at C'est Magnifique today as a Guest Designer with Part II of my September projects. I am featuring designs using the C'est Magnifique September 2015 Card Kit which includes Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Authentique papers.

"This Life is Pretty Wonderful" (12x12 Page)

I love the elements in the Card Kit so much, I also had a few extra goodies to include from the Embellishment Add-On Kit as well as the black flower from the Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit. I started this page inspired by the green card base which I used to mat my photo collage, along with some simple black cardstock.


I loved the idea of mixing this strong chevron design with some florals. I used a sheet of kraft card stock from home, then used crackle modeling paste and a stencil. I added the small gold glitter paste stars using a stencil. You will also see a few wood veneer stars mixed in which I lightly touched with Gold Glimmer Spray to blend in.

Some Gelatos were used in 4 different colors, and just smeared in to blend. After that, I sprinkled drops of Glimmer Spray about in coordinating colors to the pattern papers. I stamped using some of my BoBunny stamps and black ink.


The blue banner and pink arrow and sequin elements are from the Embellishment Add On Kit. I added the string and pearl along with the ink for coloring the "Hello" speech bubble. The partial tag I cut using a simple tag die.

"Hello Sunshine" Tag

For my next project, I created a tag to fit the cute pink polka dot envelope that comes in the kit. I've used the Prima Doll Stamp included in the kit as my focal point. She is colored with Copics and paper pieced. 


I've used a scrap from one of my first projects on this. In the background you should see a frame and behind it I've backed it with the black and white ampersand. This was a really fun project to do, I love using these doll stamps, the possibilities are endless!


I added some Diamond Stickles to accent the bodice florals as well as the top of the skirt. The paper piecing that I did with her hair is from a woodgrain pattern paper included in the kit. I highlighted some of the hair design with my marker.

The headband, bodice and florals on her shoes all coordinate to the same patterned paper. To accent the headband, I added a single sequin and an Enamel Dot.


Here's the coordinating envelope. I added a few simple touches and love how it fits perfectly! 

For this project I used a Prima Tag Pad from my own collection of items for the base, then added other papers and embellishments to it.

"Hello" (A2 sized card)

This card showcases another one of the beautiful designed card bases included in the kit. I decided to layer over the florals lightly with a few other pieces. 


The "Hello" sentiment flag was cut from the pattern papers in the kit. I cut one of the vellum hearts in half and used for "leaves" under the flower cluster on the left. To create this look, I used a few of my MFT dies and my die cutting machine.

Are you loving the projects you've been seeing? If so, be sure to check out the C'est Magnifique Store to get your very own September 2015 Card Kit today!

If you love those enamel dots, wood veneers, die cuts, sweet bows and arrows, be sure to check out the Embellishment Add-On Kit while you're there. There is also a Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit if you crave some flowers for your projects.

Thank you to C'est Magnifique Kit Club for inviting me Guest Design again with you this month. I loved working with these beautiful papers and goodies!  

Have a super scrappity day!

C'est Magnifique September Card Kit

Greetings, I'm hosting the blog today over at C'est Magnifique Kit Club featuring designs using the C'est Magnifique September 2015 Card Kit. The kit features papers by Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Authentique.

"Love This"

For my first card, I loved the variety of card bases that are included in the kit and wanted to feature this pretty soft rose first.

I used the pretty colors in the Authentique Classique paper to compliment the pink and framed it with some filmstrip die cuts using black cardstock from my stash.


I've used the pretty sequins and enamel dots here from the Embellishment Add-On for September Kit. The stamping on the background was done with a stamp from my personal collection.

"Life's a party, Enjoy it"

For my next card, I wanted to feature the pretty wooden frame that is included with the kit. I've paired it with a Pink Paislee gray flower from the Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit.


Don't you just love the sentiment? I thought it was so cute! I added the metal arrow from the Embellishment Add-On for September Kit.

"Just Lovely"

This card was inspired by the card base design, it is so cute all on its own. I didn't want to cover the design, but chose to accent it and build on it.


I did a die-cut from the patterned paper, then added some embellishments from the Embellishment Add-On Kit; Die-Cuts, Wooden Pieces and Arrow.

"Happy Day... these are the moments to remember forever"

For this card, again I've used one of the cute card bases included in the kit. I paired it with some of the pale pink cardstock and used one of the sentiment blocks from the patterned papers included in the kit.



Be sure to check out the C'est Magnifique Store to get your very own September 2015 Card Kit today! If you love those enamel dots, wood veneers, die cuts, sweet bows and arrows, be sure to check out the Embellishment Add-On Kit while you're there. There is also a Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit if you really love flowers for your projects.

I'm super excited to be a part of the hop today, it's the very first blog hop for ScrapTown Lady and we couldn't be more excited to be hopping with Practical Scrappers!  Our theme is Project Life.  It's such a big trend and a great way to document your everyday events.

I decided to interpret the feel of Project Life with a card.

The starting inspiration was the Season's Summer Collection by Authentique.  I loved the bicycle and Relax sentiment, so I echoed the shape for my card base and layers. I did trim the edges of the Relax card to better fit the scale.  Notice the Friday and Saturday of my ledger paper?  : )


The chevron pattern I fussy cut from the papers, however, there are some really awesome dies in the store from My Favorite Things that you might like if you love this look.

My Sweet Memory

Happy Friday crafty friends!

It's my day over at the ScrapTownLady blog and I decided to go with a bit of masculine inspiration since we are getting close to Father's Day.

This is created with Authentique's "Hope" pattern papers with a few die cut elements from "Strong" and "Renew".

The chipboard sentiment I painted with some cream paint and thought about inking with some blue ink but I liked it so well in cream that I left it plain. All of the die cuts on this page are by Cheery Lynn Design.


I love the sweet little hummingbird from Cheery Lynn Designs!
The chipboard here is Blue Fern Studios and is wonderful!!!

A little creative title work with stickers.

The inspiration for this page begins completely with the photo of our boys with their Grandpa on the farm.  I thought the colors matched the collection so well!  Hard to believe it's an Easter line, but I love it!  You'll find it very versatile for all of those masculine pages.  Don't be afraid to add a little floral or flourish charm or sparkle, it often adds that unexpected bit of warmth you want.

Be sure to visit the ScrapTownLady store for all of your crafting needs, she has an amazing array of products (dies!)  that you have to check out!

ScrapTownLady Ingredients:
Hope "Adorn" Paper - Authentique
Hope "Lavish" Paper - Authentique
Hope "Faith" Paper - Authentique
Hope "Custom" Paper - Authentique
Hope "Statements" Stickers - Authentique

Number 1 Dad!

Happy June to you!

It's my day to share a project with you over at ScrapTownLady.com today.  In anticipation of Father's Day in a few weeks, I thought it would be nice to be prepared in advance this year.

This card was created using the "Hope" line by Authentique using some of the Frames and Corners of "Strong", along with some Cheery Lynn Designs dies and a few fun embellishments.


Since Hope is a spring or Easter themed line, as it also has beautiful browns and blues, you can really use it for any masculine project.  The cream, brown and blue combination is one of my favorites! 


I accented the heart in my "Dad" sentiment with a touch of glossy accents.  The Cheery Lynn Dies make your projects so elegant and classic, I just love how you can mix them in with any theme and they are always gorgeous!  

Be sure to stop and visit the extensive die section over in the ScrapTownLady store.
