Harry Potter ATC Peek-A-Boo Card for Paper House Productions

Hello Potterheads!  Terri here, with a fun ATC (artist trading card) that features the Harry Potter chibi washi tape.  The peek-a-boo feature is perfect for all your potter loving friends and family!  Big kids and little kids are going to love making these.  ATC cards are kind of like baseball cards; you collect them and trade them with your friends, and they're typically sized 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

My card consists of a black base cardstock trimmed to the dimensions mentioned above, with the second, brick panel trimmed to 1/4" less in dimension.  I found this amazing brick paper from the Delish Paper Kit that was perfect and reminded me of the secret entrance to Diagon Alley.  Paper House also has another really great brick paper, here.  The bricks look smaller, so you may have to trim out larger sections for your peek-a-boo windows.

Leave your corners square, or use a corner round punch, as I've done.  

A craft knife is perfect for trimming random sections of the brick for your peek-a-boo scenes.  Just trim the sides and bottom of your brick so the flap can fold up.  To easily line up your washi tape, tack some tape to the ends of your strip so it will simply adhere to the back of your brick slot.  Easy!

I also used many elements from the Harry Potter planner sticker set and micro stickers.  I have them all popped up for dimension, using my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam circles.

I also used a Potter themed sentiment from my stash which is available here.  Simply stamp in a random pattern on the brick, using Colorbox Wicked Black ink and a masking technique.

 Be sure and visit the Paper House blog for more design team inspiration!  Check out the entire line of licensed Harry Potter products!  Thanks so much for stopping in!  Terri

Photo Display Card for Paper House Productions

Here is a project that is near and dear to my heart.  It's my sweet, 16 year old teen chef!  I wanted to make a photo card that I could display on my desk at work.  He's an aspiring culinary chef and is in his 2nd year of culinary classes.  He'll finish his 3rd year, next year when he's a High School Senior.  I could go on and on about this kid, but first, let me tell you about the amazing Delish paper collection from Paper House Productions.  I love it so much!  I've paired several papers, stickers and journal pieces for this card.   Plus, we're showcasing Clearsnap Colorbox ink this month and I've made some "rusty" elements that I'll tell you about further down.  Stick around, I've got a coupon code for you too!

First, I opened up the brand new Colorbox Rose Gold pigment ink and breathed in that glorious new ink smell!  This color is so dreamy and was perfect for what I had in mind - creating rust in my cast iron sticker!  It worked like a charm too.   For the cast iron pan sticker (included with the paper kit) I simply took a Q-tip and dabbed my pigment ink, then swiped my pan sticker along the inside lower portion.  Add some clear embossing powder to heat set and you've got rust!

If you'll notice those little round knobs to the left, I also "rusted" those as well.  They are small black adhesive foam dots from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  Instead of swabbing though, I took my ink pad and just brushed across the surface and heat set with clear embossing powder, again, using my craft heat tool.  I love the rustic look!

This collection is perfect for scrapbooking, chronicling your food journeys in your travelers notebooks, pairing with your travel destination photos and for making photo cards too!  I fussy cut this photo that was taken last year when my teen attended a culinary competition.  Speaking of fussy cutting, those bunches of thyme leaves?  Yup.  Lots of detailed cutting.  I wanted them to look as realistic as possible.  I think it was worth it, don't you?

I hope I've inspired you to break out your scissors and make lots of photo cards.  If you're on Instagram, be sure you're following me @wavingmywand.  I recently shared a quick video on how I made that rusty skillet and occasionally share my teen's culinary journey as well.  In fact, he just started his first job and is so excited to be prepping food and cooking in a real restaurant!  Can you tell we're just a little bit proud of him?  

And, because I can, shout out to the best culinary instructor in the South; Chef Kasie Hairrell from the Calhoun County Career Academy!  Woot!

Christmas Eve Rush Hour

Hello crafters!  This month, the Paper House Production design team is showcasing Colorbox Inks from Clearsnap, and using an Anything Goes theme.   It's also Washi Wednesday and yup, there's some washi tape somewhere on this card.  Can you find it?  

Obviously, I went with a Christmas theme.  It's Christmas Eve and Santa's Elves are working overtime, as usual.  

For my scene, I created "toys" ready to be stuffed in Santa's sack, using 3D stickers and faux enamel stickers.  I'll be sharing affiliate shopping links throughout this post, if you see something that you need!  If you have a minute, scroll down and I'll explain some of the details on this card.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

First, let me tell you about my elves.  I'm using stamps from Studiol2e which were inked with Colorbox Wicked Black Dye Ink.  I LOVE this ink!  It's my new favorite.  It's perfect for watercoloring, which I love to do, yet also works great for alcohol markers.  And...... there's the washi tape, on the gift this little guy is holding!  

Clearsnap Colorbox WICKED BLACK Archival Dye Ink Pad 270240 - $4.49 When permanence and archival quality is important, archival dye ink is the crafter's choice. Gorgeous on-trend colors that are ideal for scrapbooking and journaling projects. Fast-drying, permanent and perfect for watercoloring. Dry ink will not smear when moistened.

I also used a water brush to color my elves using the Colorbox Pigment Paintbox Inks.  These colors are gorgeous and so easy to watercolor with.  I had fun mixing colors too.  I made my little girl elf a paper pieced skirt from the Colorwashed paper collection.

Many of my elements, including the faux enamel stickers, are popped up on foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  For my 3D stickers, I needed to downsize them a bit and take off the extra foam layer.  My dinosaur was chopped up, to fit inside Santa's sack.  Don't be afraid to cut up your stickers!  Sometimes you need to, to make a project work.  And, that's ok.

For my signage, I created a scored board with "nails", using papers and stickers from the Delish paper kit.  Other papers include the Lake Life collection, including Santa's sack that I made by hand.  

Thanks so much for popping in today.  I hope I've inspired you with some creative ways to use your Paper House products.  Thanks so much to Clearsnap for sending these amazing inks to the team!  See you next week with another PHP and Clearsnap project!  Terri

Creative Ways To Stretch Your Stamps With Two Paper Divas + Sale

I'm here today with another project for Two Paper Divas Stamps and a little spin on one of the Halloween stamp sets, Spell on Me.

One of the things that I look for in a stamp set is, duality.  If I can find a way to creatively stretch my supplies, then I'm more likely to purchase that product.  One of the things that I love about this seasonal set, which obviously is perfect for Halloween, is that it also tells a love story as well.

Our resident Divas had that in mind, when they designed Spell On Me.  You can not only spin your magic at Halloween but bring it out for special occasions, like Valentines Day, an Anniversary, birthday or any special occasion where love is involved.  My husband would love to receive this! Do you have a student in the family who's a science geek?  How fun would it be to give them a cute card with a fun take on their favorite subject?  Teachers?  How about a bunch of cute little mini cards or tags that they can pass out to their students?  There are so many possibilities with this set.   

And, it's on sale which is always an added bonus!

Here's a few quick details on how I designed this card.  I took one of the potion images and stamped 5 rows (on a 4x5 piece of cardstock that I eventually trimmed down) alternating my bottle upside down, then right side up and off setting it at the next line, to give that staggered appearance.  Next, I used my Spellbinders Celebrations Square Pierced dies with my Cuttlebug die cutting machine, to create these fun frames, popping out the inner frame with foam squares.

Really, it was very quick and easy.  Just don't do like I did and fumble the ink pad right in the middle and then have to start all over.  Am I the only who fumbles their ink pads?  Good grief, it happens to me all the time.  One minute I'm stamping, the next minute, the ink pad is flying and landing ink side down, right smack in the middle of my project.  It feels like Sunday afternoon football, and I just fumbled the play.  Surely, I'm not alone in my crafty mishaps......

Purchase SPELL ON ME, here.  Look around while you're there as there's a store wide sale of 25% off and you are bound to love what you see.  I'm particularly fond of their coffee stamp sets too.

GIU Girl for Unity Stamps - Day 4

I've been having so much fun this week as the Growing In Unity Girl and the fun continues with this little upcycled project that features the Halloween Chatter Sentiment Kit from Unity Stamps.  My son plays the saxophone in the high school marching band and one of the recent fundraisers was selling cookie dough.  You know where I'm going with this, don't you?  So, when I was making cookies this past weekend, I looked at that cookie dough tub and the old light bulb went off.  Why not gift some cookies in the original container instead of tossing it?  Not only are you giving a homemade food gift, but you're dressing it up as well and going the extra mile to tell that friend how special they are.

I originally planned to just cut my dimensions with my Cricut Explore, but since not everyone has a Cricut, I'm going old school with this.  My lid was right around 5" and I found the perfect container that fit the inner rim of my lid.  I traced the perfect circle with the base of my container.  Use a bowl, or plate.....whatever fits your dimensions.  By the way, I snagged this kraft paper last year on clearance at Target.  A 12 pk of 8"x 8" paper for .25.  Perfect!  This upcycled project is getting better and better!  I cut two strips that would equal the circumference around the bowl, as well.

I'm using two stamps from the kit, including the skull.  First, I stamped just with white, then inking again with white but tracing the outline with a black marker before stamping.  I loved the second image more, so that's the one I went with.  My inks that I'm using today are the Susan K Weckesser mini color pop inks from Colorbox, "Snow" and "Mystery".  

For my lid, I took my sentiment and stamped it over and over and over, staggering each line.  I chose just two words right in the center, to color in with a gel pen, but you could color in all the words if you so choose.  I kind of like that little pop of color, as is.

Because the circumference of the bowl is at a slant, I would recommend that you only use adhesive along the top inside edge of your stamped border and leave the bottom edge loose.  Otherwise, it will pucker in places.  Some festive washi tape and glitter tape finish off this fun little tub of Spooky fun.  I have to tell you, this is one of my favorite seasonal stamp sets.  I've used it too many times to count and absolutely it.  You will too!

Purchase Halloween Chatter, here.

New Release at TPD Stamps Day 2 - Fall Decorative Clips plus a SALE!

It's day two of the brand new release from Two Paper Divas and today's project is about finding ways to stretch the stamps that you have.  Decorative clips are super hot right now; for planners and, as an embellishment on other projects.  Or, even for sprucing up your office supplies.  They'd make excellent gifts for your favorite planner girl or guy.  I think these clips are simply dreamy!  Of course, TPD is having a storewide 25% off sale which makes it that much sweeter!  This project features that little rose bud center, from the new stamp set "Stems and More".  Get out your glue gun because it's going to be your best friend today.

The magic in making these is to layer, layer, layer.  Yup, it's that easy.  Grab some scraps, some fabric or scrap ribbon, burlap, even cotton balls would be a fun substitution for the white fluff trim that I'm using today.  Start with a flat layer, such as burlap or fabric, then, just mix it up, hot gluing one layer at a time to the end of your paper clip.  

Use a wooden popsicle stick or even one of your craft tools, like a metal pick, to press down and keep your hands from getting burned.  For my stamped centers, I stamped onto some colored cardstock  using my Susan K Weckesser color pop mini inks, added some Stickles glitter glue and used my heat embossing tool to speed up the drying time.

Aren't they gorgeous?  And super quick and easy to make.  I've got to stock up on clips now.  I could make a jillion of these.

Purchase Stems and More, here.

Hello crafters.  I'm so excited to share this project with you today.  Graphic 45 has come out with a new collection called "Café Parisian".  It is absolutely dreamy.  It's all things French, pastries, coffee, tea..... a European Culinary delight!

When I saw the first sneak peeks on the G45 website, I knew that I would have to share with my coffee and tea loving friends.  The Graphic 45 family is near and dear to my heart.  I first came to know them through the Craft and Hobby Association trade shows and had the pleasure of sitting in on one of their classes for my article on the CHA blog.  If you ever have the opportunity to see Jeff Filimoehala teach a class, you are in for a treat.

I love that so many of the G45 papers blend with other collections and allows you to make the most of what you have.  I adore plaids and stripes and this collection is full of them.

On my card today, I'm using several Café Parisian products; ephemera, paper, die cut flowers and my favorite at the end of this post.... the #3 stamp set.  There are 3 stamp sets in this collection and they are all amazing, but #3 is my favorite.  Isn't that tea cup just darling?  Imagine all the different ways you can color and embellish it.  I've watercolored my tea cup today, using Susan K Weckesser Color Pop mini inks.

Graphic 45 was kind enough to send me their collection so I could share with all my friends at the Fall Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop.  They are also sponsoring a prize featuring some of these very products.

It would be lovely if you would stop by the G45 Facebook page or their Instagram page, and leave them a comment, thanking them for this giveaway.  Just mention that the Coffee Loving Cardmakers sent you.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'm leaving you with the shopping link below.  It's wonderful isn't it?  That tea cup.... the sentiments.... you're very welcome!

Hittin' the Beach with DCWV and TCW Stencils

(FTC disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links so, if you purchase a product using the link I may receive a small commission. I only participate in affiliate programs that feature products that I use and love. Your purchase price is not affected in any way, by using my links)

I am so behind on scrapbooking that my child is actually disappointed!  Well, we can't have that, can we?  I recently decided I would try the 8.5"x.11" format.   I always seem to end up staring at those big 12x12 papers with glazed eyes.  A smaller format, in my mind, seems like a step in the right direction; less space to fill and a more intimate format.  At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

So, when I had the opportunity to attend a 3 day craft retreat, I thought it would be the perfect time to give this format a try.  I love how quickly this layout came together.  Once I settled on my papers, everything seemed to just fall into place.  I'm using 3 different paper collections, all from DCWV; Hey Sailor, Bella Armoire and Vintage Collector. 

(Judging by the photos, my son was obviously into "Karate Kid" at the time......!)

For my background, I chose a white/gold beachy page from Hey Sailor that has sand dollars and sea shells.  By the way, you can grab this at Jo-Ann's Stores.  It's one of my favorite paper collections with a beach and nautical theme.

For the fun little cut-outs, I turned to the Vintage Collector papers and fussy cut the bottle cap and happy heart, as well as the Alpha letters to spell BEACH.  My journaling focus was cut from the Bella Armoire 8x8 stack.

I wanted to use one of my stencils from The Crafter's Workshop called Tropical Elements, since I was going with a beachy theme.  I snagged this from Scrapbook.com.

from: Scrapbook.com

I sponged on some of my Colorbox Chalk Ink in 2 different shades, one on top of the other.

Some added extras, such as Prima Flowers, gold mesh, burlap, eyelash ribbon and DoubleClick Skittles bubble embellishments and I'm done.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Give this smaller scrapping size a try!

Happy Crafting!  Terri from Waving My Wand
