Love You More Release Party!

Happy Monday to you crafty peeps!  It's a big day over at Imaginisce, we are celebrating all this week with the brand new "Love You More" release party.  

Love You More is our romantic new release that you will not be able to put down!  This collection is incredible!!!  New embellishments include washi tape, buttons and some pretty cool alpha stickers too!

"Always and Forever"

My first project is a layout that I created using one of our wedding photos.  The inspiration was the "Always and Forever" sentiment on the 4x6 card.  I had my husbands ring engraved with this sentiment so it seemed the perfect fit to use it for my title work here.  

I selected one of our wedding photos in black and white to compliment the grey tones in the collection.  The lacy border was fussy cut and layered under my photo with some additional die cuts.  I used the washi tape and layered it with some ribbon to the right of my photo.  

Tip:  To help keep thicker ribbon together when using your iMagicut ribbon cutter to make a chevron cut, use a bit of washi tape to keep your fold in place.  

Ingredients:  Love You More collection, Foam Tape, POGO, i-Rock, Glam Rocks Heart, Hot Rocks Compact - Crystal, ImagiCut by Imaginisce.  Cheery Lynn Anastasia Border Die, MFT Scallop Border die and Fishtails, Spellbinder's Grand Oval and Rectangle Scallop dies, Memory Works die, Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers, Jenni Bowlin Studio Tab punch and gray stick pin, Maya Road heart stick pin, Cardstock by Bazzill.  Other:  Sewing Machine, thread, seam binding ribbon.

"For You With Love" (A2 Card)

My next project is a card. I wanted to create something that can be used for a loving note of encouragement or a birthday. You see several of the stickers from the collection here. Some foam tape was used under my sentiment for dimension. A bit of thin ribbon tied simply finished the card.  

The inside of the card features one of the 3x4 journaling cards.

Mix n Match with Imaginisce!

Happy Wednesday to you!  

I'm so excited that you stopped over today, as I have a fun post to share!!!  All this week at Imaginisce we are mixing it up.  What does that mean?  Taking three collections and blending them to create a project.

Now you know that a challenge like this is always right up my alley!  I went to my Hello Cupcake, Geek is Chic and Animal Crackers lines and created this:

My starting inspiration... the monochromatic blues for my background.

The flourishes are the mustache die cut from Animal Crackers cut in half.  The light blue paper of my vertical layer base is a piece of packaging from Animal Crackers as well.  The black and red of my journaling block from Geek is Chic was a nice compliment to the color scheme.

The star brads are created from Animal Crackers pattern papers and arranged to anchor the right corner of my page.

I sure loved this challenge and we would love to see what you do mixing up our collections as well!  Please be sure to share over on the Imaginisce Facebook wall!!!

Hello Cupcake, Geek is Chic and Animal Crackers papers, Imaginisce

Whimsy Imaginsce Hop!

Happy Tuesday to you!  I have something really fun for you today!!!

Imaginisce has paired up with My Little Bit Of Whimsy for a creative blog hop this week! 

You should be arriving here from the Imaginisce blog if you're hopping along.  For all the happy details and the hop sequence, be sure to start there!

If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing the adorable embellishments from My Little Bit Of Whimsy you need to take a little time to join us on the hop.  There really isn't anything else out there like these buttons, stick pins and embellishments --- you will love them!!!  I have two projects to share with you today.

Best Friends Forever... featuring Sole Sisters 

How adorable is that ladybug?  *swoon*!!! 

I've also used the yellow rose button and the black chevron button is on the top and bottom of my tag.  The red tag is actually upcycled from some Sole Sisters packaging.  Love when I can do that!!!  The butterfly was cut from a Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly die.

I Dig You!...  featuring Makin' Waves

I really also love the Whimsy itty bitty bird stick pins and you all know how much I absolutely dig the Keepin' Cool pattern paper from the Makin' Waves line!!!  When I found my pail die cut embellie I knew what I wanted to do with it! 

The beautiful green and orange reversible dot ribbon anchoring the sentiment is from May Arts and was cut using the new i-Magicut ribbon cutter.  psst... This fun tool is one of the prizes for the hop!!!

The chipboard circle here is from the Sole Sisters collection.  I used some of our foam tape to give a bit of dimension and create a sort of porthole.  My crinkle ribbon tails are tacked down with my Pogo glue dots.  The stamp is from A Jillian Vance Designs and their "Down on the Farm" collection.  I was tickled to find this little gem as it totally made the card come together.  Fun!

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Zoe Nemburt!

Introducing the All New... i-Magicut!

Meet i-Magicut!

This new tool from Imaginisce is so innovative and utterly COOL, I can't even begin to tell you how much you are going to love it!  Do you ever get so frustrated with how the edges of your ribbon fray when you work with it?  This is the answer!  The design is fantastic, it's battery operated so you can easily bring it with you to crops.

"Honeymoon Dreams"

I decided to use our new Makin' Waves collection for my project with an empty acrylic flower bucket.  Upcycling this acrylic bucket has been on my list for awhile but I wanted the project to be special. 

I've had these shells from our honeymoon in Hawaii sitting in a drawer and wanted to find them a home.  A sand bucket seemed the perfect idea!  There is such a great tropical vibe to the Makin' Waves line, it was a natural fit for this!

This rock from the beach had a hole through it and I just love it! 

The photo was matted from the back of my bucket.  Then, I mounted my photo inside of the bucket and from there, added the sand and shells.  For additional texture I included a bit of fish netting and scraps of clear bead garland to represent the ocean.

I wanted a light and sweet feel of ribbon on here so I used a lot of organza.  i-Magicut does an amazing job of creating the perfect sealed edge on the ribbons! 

You definitely want to make sure you visit the Imaginisce blog today and leave a comment!  They are giving away one of these fabulous tools to a lucky person -- it could be YOU!

Thanks so much for stopping on over today!  Have a super scrappity day!
