Winter Is Coming

Welcome friends.  I have another project featuring Paper House Productions.  For many of you, winter has already reared it's wintry head.  In the Deep South, however, we have just recently had a little taste of colder weather and the occasional snow flurry.

Making seasonal cards are a favorite of mine, which is why I've created a night time winter scene, featuring Life Organized Products.

To create that moon, I blended distress and oxide inks onto mixed media paper, cutting with a large circle nesting die.  Water splatters help give a fun "crater" effect.  The sentiment is a sticker from the Life Organized Seasonal Sticker pack and has over 1200 stickers for every season!  The background on this sticker is clear so it blends onto any project perfectly.  These are great for planners, scrapbooking, cardmaking and more.

My night sky features a starry sky paper from the Great outdoors Camping Life Paper Kit.  I've added "snow", dotted all over my card using white acrylic paint.

To finish, I added a pretty twine bow and a strip of washi tape at the bottom, from the Honeybees 2 piece set.  All of my adhesives are courtesy of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I know many of my northern friends intensely dislike winter snow, blizzards, etc.  If you like sending snarky cards, this would totally qualify!  Winter weather alert!  Thanks so much for popping in today.  I'll see you again soon with Christmas themed projects for Paper House Productions!

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.

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

Birthday Week at Paper House Productions

It's birthday week at Paper House Productions and I've created a modern card for the occasion.  With the sleek geometrics and poured paint design from the Marbleous paper collection, this card is very neutral and gender friendly.  I've kept the accents to a minimum for that reason.

(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.)

The Marbleous collection is one of my favorites.  Each double sided page is absolutely stunning, many of which have gold foiled accents.  I used the Pink Marble and Marbleous Borders for my card.

To tie in the birthday element, I added 3D balloon stickers and a popped up sentiment.

The Happy Birthday 2 3D stickers have just the right amount of elegance for my card, without being too over the top.

I wanted the side edges to have a focal point all their own, so I paired the trimmed geometric cardstock from the collection as a side border, along with a strip of extreme tape from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, which I foiled for additional shimmer.  The opposing side was edged with a scalloped steel die and my die cut machine.

Thanks so much for stopping in.  Be sure and visit the Paper House Productions blog for more design team inspiration.  You can click any of the convenient affiliate links that are placed throughout this post, for your shopping convenience, or click here to shop at the online store.

I'd Rather Be Hunting

Hey ya'll.... I'm from the South so I can say, "ya'll" right?  You know what else is a thing in the South?  Hunting.  And, I've got  the perfect paper collection to celebrate the hunter in your life  -  The Great Outdoors Hunting Paper Crafting Kit from Paper House Productions.

This awesome collections is not only great for scrapbooking and chronicling those life adventures, but make the perfect cards for your avid sportsman or sportswoman.  For this card, I thought it would be fun to fussy cut a bunch of tiny images from a 12x12 inch sheet in the collection, and pop them up for dimension.  Hunting is pretty much a masculine sport, but come on.... aren't they just the cutest?  I'm not a hunter, but I just love those itty bitty camo clothes!

This double sided sheet called "Go Wild" has a solid camouflage design on the flip side and is included in this collection.  It also serves as the backdrop for my card.

This 12x12 inch sheet of stickers below, and pack of 3D stickers are also included in this paper crafting kit.  I love that Paper House Productions give you so much "bang" for your "buck".  Oh my gosh, I am in such a punny mood today.  But it's true!  All this for under $10.00!  Best part?  Shipping is super reasonable.  That is a key factor that determines where I will shop.  I can promise you this; you will be pleased not only with the shipping prices, but the speed in which your package arrives.    

Grab this amazing collection today!   It translates wonderfully to other outdoor sports as well... fishing, camping, hiking and even outdoor destination spots.  Think, state and national parks!

Camping With Paper House Productions

When I saw this collection from Paper House Productions, I knew I had to have it.  Growing up in upstate New York, our family and extended family spent many summers camping.  I have such wonderful memories of my childhood, camping at Fair Haven located on the southern shores of Lake Ontario.  Most evenings were spent roasting marshmallows by the campfire, sleeping in tents while the grandparents slept in a camper just like this one, then waking up to the smell and sound of bacon sizzling in a cast iron skillet.  

The Great Outdoors Camping Paper Kit, from Paper House Productions, reminds me of happiness, warmth and love.  Truly!

(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.)

There are so many fun, double sided pattern papers in this collection, perfect for scrapbooking your favorite memories, but also wonderful for papercrafting and sending cards to those you love who share those special moments with you.

This set comes with a sheet of 12x12 inch stickers but also comes with a sheet that includes 3D stickers as well, such as the camper in my photo.  

I embellished my scene a little bit if you look closely.  I hand cut a mountain shape from a sheet of scrap paper that I had in my stash from another PHP collection, then used my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L EZ Grand Runner with Repositionable tape and swiped the tops of my mountains, applied white embossing powder and heated with my craft heat tool.  I also colored some 3L adhesive dots with glitter and heated those as well, for my sky scene.  Acrylic paint was dropped on my sky as well to jazz up my night sky paper included in this collection.

I created a border just below my camping scene that includes this leafy washi tape from the PHP Birch and leaf washi tape collection, along with woodgrain paper included in the kit.

I'm happy to say, and as some of my crafty friends will testify, shipping is super reasonable and super quick.  I'm always so happy when I refer friends to this wonderful company to shop and they report back and tell me how quick their order arrived.  Always a key factor when I chose where to spend my money and I know most of you would say the same thing.

I have a couple more projects coming out soon featuring the various collections from The Great Outdoors.  I hope you will take a few minutes and browse the shop over at Paper House Productions.  If you haven't heard, they just released newly licensed planner products featuring Harry Potter.  You can check that out here.  Thanks for stopping in today!

Boy Layout Challenge for Paper House Productions

Our fearless leader, Christine Meyer, issued a challenge to the Paper House Productions design team; everyone use the same products and see what we come up with.   I have no idea what everyone has done, so I'll find out the same time the rest of you do!  I'm excited to see how everyone uses the pack of stickers and designer papers in different ways.

(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.)

It has been awhile since I've done a layout and my teenager has actually complained that I haven't done any pages on him in awhile.  How funny is that?  We're featuring boy layouts this week and also products from The Great Outdoors collections.  I printed this favorite photo from a few years back that I've never scrapped.  It was a beautiful day at Germania Springs and Jonah wanted to wade in the water.  Such a happy day and a happy boy.  Don't you wish every day could be picture perfect?

All the designers are using papers from The Great Outdoors collection, along with the washi tape shown below and also the Boy Mom sticker pack.  There are several different kits in The Great Outdoors collection, including Fishing, Hunting and Camping.  Scroll to the end of this post for photos and links.

I decided to do my layout on an 8.5 x 11 inch trimmed piece of mixed media paper.  I thought it would be nice for adding paint splatters, using my retired collection of October Afternoon Sprinklers.  The colors coordinated perfectly with my paper and sticker choices.

Note only did I make die cut circles with my papers, popping them up on foam circles, (shout out to Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L!) but I also distressed my woodgrain paper with the edge of my fine tipped scissors and added an angled strip of the birch tree washi tape.  Those fussy cut trees were cut from one of the patterned papers.  I think Christine did an amazing job choosing these items that coordinate so well together!

Now, I have another layout to add to my 8.5x11 inch album.  If you're like me and feel like 12x12 inch papers just have way too much space and can be intimidating, then give this size a try.  I love it and to me, it feels a little more compact and a little more personal.  For my style, anyway.  Do you like it?  I'd love to hear your comments.  Thanks so much for stopping in!  Feel free to shop my convenient affiliate shopping links below or click the links throughout this post.  Have a crafty day!
