Winter Paper used for Summer layout

 

I like to think outside the box sometimes. I like to show you how to use your supplies for uses other that the “Normal”. That is why I choose the Wonderland Paper to make a layout about swimming with the dolphins. Wonderland paper can be used for layout other than winter. So next time you reach for paper, try and think of uses other than Normal.

Winter Wonderland

 

 

Did you know that you can add a little bling to the My Stickease? You sure can. You can alter them too.

For this layout I used the Wonderland Stickease that matched the Wonderland paper. Just one more reason I LOVE Close To My Heart…they make everything match! For the border along the top Right hand side and bottom left side I cut the border strip to the length I wanted then attached it to Grey Flannel cardstock. It makes it stand out just a little bit more. And I dressed up the snowflake Stickease with Silver Glitter Glitz in the centers. Also on the snowman and kids Stickease I accentuated the fur and top hat with the Silver Glitter Glitz as well. Something as simple as that adds quite a bit of bling.

I also used our NEW Clear Ruler to add some Designer Brads along the border on the left page. Our ruler comes with grid marks and guide holes to make placement evenly spaced. You will never have any more crooked brads! Just use your piercing tool in the guide holes and you have marked where your brads should be. These holes are also great for stitching, button placement and many other uses. Get one today and try it for yourself. You will not be sorry.

Gift certificate Holders

 

When I give a gift certificate, I like to decorate a cute little card to put it in. These are really simple to make. My gift certificates are 3 ½ x 6 1/4.

I took crystal Blue cardstock cut to 10 x 7 ¼

Scored it at 4 inches and 8 inches

I folded up the 2 inch strip and glued down just the sides with very thin adhesive.

Then I decorated it.

One of the other things I did to these is colored my sparkles brown. I took the regular clear sparkles and colored them in with my Copic Marker E47. I set them aside to dry only a minute and then placed them on the tree on the front of my card and on the holly Berries on the inside of the card. Since I bought my Copic markers I buy a lot of embellishments in clear or white and color them with my Copics to match whatever I am working with. This saves a lot of money as I don’t need sparkles in every color now.
