Feast or famine!






I made these cards with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Cupcake Carrier SVG set.  Don't miss out on the MyGraphico 1 day sale 7/14/11, 40% off everything, including this sweet set!
  It was a breeze to make these, even with most of my supplies moved out of my craft room.  I could not get to all my papers so I used the same paper for the first 3 cards, used some glimmer mist and color wash to change it up a bit.  I cut out the Lindsays Stamp Stuff Cupcakes Carrier cupcake pieces with my SCAL software easy peasy, and made the lines with my Martha Stewart score board, then used a little Tim Holtz distress ink to color in the cupcake wrappers.  The cherries and flames were sparkled up with some stickles, except the one I used my Atyou Spica pen to glitter up.  The pink glitter was so easy to apply with Scrapbook Adhesives adhesive sheets.
I am really sorry I have not been visiting or creating much, it just feels so chaotic with everything I own scattered around, even my computer.  I am a really organized person so this really messes with my head.   I appreciate all of your comments and well wishes, the remodel is moving along.  I can't wait till it is done and I can go back to the way things were before.  I really appreciate your understanding especially Lindsay, thank you all.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Playing with new products.


I won these awesome Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L on Heidi Blankenships blog Embellished Dreams.  I could not wait to try out these adhesive sheets, they are awesome!  Thank you Heidi and 3L!  I know the photo does not do it justice but if you look closely you will see that the white card I printed my image on has a layer of teeny tiny clear micro beads.  I attached them with the Permanent 4" x 6" Adhesive sheet.  It was so easy to apply because it has a slender side strip you peel off and lay down first, that holds it in position to peel the rest off.  The stamp is from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff new release Natures Christmas.  I love this vintage Santa Tag, I printed it twice once in green and again in black.  I cut Santa's face out of the black one and paper pieced it over the green Santa.  I colored him in with Copics and I used Perfect Pearls for his hat trim.  I also framed it with some gold Stickles, this is a 5 x 7 card.  Thanks again Heidi, I love following your blog.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

I've had a few questions about how well the beads stick.  The Scrapbook Adhesives hold everything in place very tightly, I didn't have any problems with the beads falling off.   I did not have to heat them up either.  This product was perfect for this application.  I have tried using liquid glue in the past but because the glue is a bit thick they would to stick unevenly in double layersWith the 3L product I positioned 1 corner and removed the side strip, then slowly removed the balance.  I rubbed it in to  make sure that it was making good contact with my card stock everywhere.  Then I removed the top layer of paper and poured the beads on and they stuck!  I just pushed them in with my hand to make sure they were secure and pushed off the beads that stuck to the edges, half on and half off.  I have to say I was really impressed.
