Miss You- Cardmaking kit Dress-Up Part 4 | DT by Tarina Lafollette

Hello All!

Last week I did a total wardrobe change on card project #2, so today I'm bringing you project #1 with a wardrobe change as well. I know it's backwards, lol but that's just how my inspiration struck.

For this one I continued to work with the No Worries collection, but I changed up the sentiment to 'Have a sweet birthday!' which is found in the Sweet Birthday stampset. Enjoying the beach would definitely be a sweet birthday for me! I stamped the sentiment in Sapphire ink, which is the same dark blue color found on the bottom of the palm trees.

The background pieces were just begging to be distressed again, so I gave in, lol and I popped the palm trees up on 3D Foam Tape. The trees and the starfish both came in the No Worries Compliments pack. Instead of the shimmer trim that is used in the WYW guide, I used the White Burlap ribbon that came in the No Worries- WYW scrapbooking kit, but I decided it needed two pieces instead of one. The sequins also come in the kit and I love how they balanced out the kraft color of the starfish as well as the light color of the burlap ribbon. It needed just a little extra something, so I pulled a Bitty Sparkle in to make my group of three on the right of the sentiment.

And that's it!

Was it quick?
Not really, lol
My process video (which was literally from start to finish) took about 45 mins.

Do I like how it turned out?
I love how it turned out! lol
And it inspired me to use this cutting guide again....Next time it won't be for cards though, I promise! ;)

Here's the Recipe

in case you loved the products used:

Miss You- Cardmaking kit Dress-Up Part 2 | DT by Tarina Lafollette

Hello All!

This is the second part to my card Dress-up mini series.

For this example, I'm giving the Miss You, WYW, cardmaking kit a little bit of a wardrobe change! lol

For both of these cards, I decided to switch up the papers to a few other papers from the Little Dreamer paper pack and switched up the inks to suit the new papers. Just in case you didn't notice, I also swapped the sentiments!  I figured 'Why Not?' lol

For Card 1 (above) I still wanted to use the Shimmer trim, but I didn't want to cover up the unicorn's nose lol so I moved it up a bit and dove-tailed the end. I also had the urge to move the bling on both cards. Aaand, of course, I added a few bitty sparkles.

For Card 2 (below), I shortened the sentiment base piece and placed the banner below it instead of on it. I aso changed up the ink to a pink color called Pixie. I only had the color in pigment inks, but it worked great! 

I love how these cards both took on a different look with such easy changes. You could also apply some of the techniques I showed in my previous post, or even do some of your favorite techniques!

Keep an eye out for my next couple posts, I'm doing a little mini series showing some of the ways you can dress up these cards while still using the Miss You cutting guide.

Miss You- Cardmaking kit Dress-Up Part 1 | DT by Tarina Lafollette

Hello Everyone!

I've been playing around with the Miss You, Workshops Your Way, cardmaking kit lately, and I thought I'd share some of the ways I've found to dress-up the cards.

For this first set of cards I used a few techniques that I like to use in my everyday crafting. We've got edge distressing, heat embossing, paper piercing, and even a bit of stitching. I also managed to sneak in a few bitty sparkles. lol

Stay tuned for the next set in my Dress-up card mini series, coming next Friday!

Here's the recipe for both cards.

Miss You Workshops Your Way Part 2 | DT

Hello Everybody!

Today I'm bringing you project  #2 of the Miss You, Workshops Your Way, cardmaking kit. I love how both projects have a second option, and because the switch is so simple, I decided to show you all what the Project #2 option  looks like too.

As you can see, the second option is simply flipping over the double sided B & T Duos paper. 

Let's say you wanted to create a card using the new Live Beautifully papers. You could simply switch out the patterened papers (and inks), and the Miss You stampset and card layout instructions would still work beautifully.  I may just have to make that my next DT project! lol

If you haven't gotten ahold of the Miss You, Workshops Your Way cardmaking kit yet, head on over to http://janicewilson.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=242. While you're there, you can also find other Workshops Your Way kits offered by Close to My Heart.

I hope you have a lovely and inspired week!
