Love and Flowers

Hello, happy Tuesday everyone.

With Valentine's Day coming up, many of us have our loved ones on our minds.  I combned the Key to Love stamp set from Clearly Whimsy Stamps Whimsy Stamps New Key to Love with the Tonic Studios Have A Beautiful Day Circle Frame die set.  Tonic Studios Sew Pretty - Have a Beautiful Day Circle Frame for the special day.  As flowers are also so much of Valentine's Day.  I used a floral paper for the background, fussy cutting a few of the flowers to place on the edges for some added dimenson.

Shop 7 Kids for these items and many other wonderful crafting selections.

Hope all of your enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Wycinaka Steampunk

Hello fellow crafters and especially steampunk lovers. 

 

I was so excited when I saw 7 Kids was carrying steampunk chipboard pieces from Wycinaka; I just had to have them all!  I have a number of sizes of cigar boxes and thought one of them would be perfect for a steampunk project.  I have a lot of papers with a steampunk theme and picked one to show off the chipboard.  I thought putting the corners opposite each other would add more interest; colored them with chalk spray from my stash.

 

Here is the inside of the box showing the chipboard on each side and one in the top left corner.  I added just a few mental embellishments and wood balloon as it just isn't steampunk without some metal.
 

 

This is the inside of the lid; I loved this chipboard piece and didn't want to add to much to distract from it. 

 

 

On the outside edges of the box, I used the same pieces as on the sides of the inside but used a chalk spray close to the color of the paper. 

 

This shows front edge of box.

 

 

Visit 7 Kids College Fund and see all the wonderful chipboard from Wycinanka and all the other wonderful items you can get for your crafting.  Have fun crafting.  Sandy

Whimsy Bears Love February Challenge

Hello crafters and welcome to the February Challenge with 7 Kids.

 

These bears from DoCrafts Forever Friends Forever Love'Big Heart' were a perfect choice to say Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  Used copic greys to outline the bears and their wings as I wanted the heart to be the focal point.  Then paper pieced bazzill for the heart and placed a 3D embellishment on top.

 

 

Used some valentine paper in my stash to cut the X Cut Rose Dollie die, placed a prima flower in the middle and stamped the accompanying sentiment onto heart dies for the corners.  The background paper and embellishments were also some from my stash.

 

 



Thanks for stopping by the 7 Kids College Fund challenge.  Please be sure to check out them out as there are always new items being added in the store.  Happy crafting, Sandy

 

Nature Sketchbook Napkin Fold Card

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday! 

 

I love Graphic 45 papers and since I just received the Nature Sketchbook collection, wanted to do a project showcasing the paper.   I thought this napkin fold card would show off one of the papers.  The base is a sheet of 12x12 bazzill paper covered with the Wildflower Bouquet from the collection.  Used a chipboard piece to complete the belly band closure.

 

 

When the belly band is removed, the card unfolds into this beautiful, colorful card.  The middle portion and the belly band are the back of the Wildflower Bouquet paper with one of the stickers and a dragon fly cut from the matching 6x6 papers.  The words are also from the sticker sheet; used 6x6 sheets for die cuts.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure and stop by 7 Kids College Fund store to see this paper and many more beautiful items.  Keep crafting.  Sandy

Gorjuss Girl and Friend

Merry Christmas fellow crafters.  Welcome to Dec 7 Kids Blog Challenge.

I have used a Gorjuss Girl stamp, colored her and her little fried with copic markers, placed her on top of a piece of plastic colored with alcohol inks.  I cut a wreath from Graphic 45 St. Nicholas paper Graphic 45 St Nicholas 12 x 12 Paperon my cricut, added red hearts instead of berries to match the hearts on her dress and some brads from my stash.  I placed the wreath on top of  Wycinanka chipboard, Wycinanka Elegance Bohemian Circle Frame, then put red lace on the back.



 

Pion Star Book

Happy holidays! 

I made a star book using the Pion Design The Night Before Christmas 6x6 papers  Pion Design The Night Before Christmas 6x6 Papers.  Solid papers were bazzill, ribbon from my stash, all chipboard from Wycinanka.

Here is the front of the star book. 

These are pages 1 and 2.  Used the embellishment cutout sheets that came with the paper to decorate the pages.

For page 3, I used a Wycinanka chipboard piece Wycinanka Very Merry Baubles and Bough, colored with glitters and added a Pion embellishment cutout as the ornament.

On page 5, I added a Wycinanka chipboard candle Wycinanka Christmas Nostalgy-Candles, colored with glitter to oordinate with the candles on the tree.

Page eight has a Wycinanka chipboard-In The Mountains Pointy Lace Doily Wycinanka In The Mountains Pointy Lace Doily Chipboard, again colored with glitter.

The next four pages feature more Pion embellishment cutouts.

And this is the back of the book, with more cutouts.

This paper worked so well for the sized pages in this book.  Stop by 7 Kids store to find these items and many more for your projects.  Sandy

Christmas Ornaments

Hello everyone, welcome to 7 Kids Challenge Blog for November.

Had a number of glass ornaments hanging around and after seeing a video on a new way of using stamps, decided to give it a try.  Used the ME City Sidewalks stamp set for the houses, snowman, snowflakes and saying.  Santa in sleigh going across moon is from St. Nicholas stamps with Graphic 45.  Stamped on white tissue paper, cut out images and used Glue n' seal to glue on ornament and also on top to seal.  Colored with copics, used sparkle pen over snowman and snowflakes, highlighted saying with Wink of Stella gold.  Put some glitter on inside, sprayed glue on inside and shook the glitter around so would stick all over inside.

This was a square ornament so used the Graphic 45 St. Nicholas stamps to do all 4 sides.  Colored the hollies with copics.

More of the St. Nicholas stamps, added the snowman from ME City Sidewalks.  Went over snowman, snowflakes and saying with sparkle pen.  The holly around neck is gold stickers, filled in with copics.

And here is St. Nicholas with his sack of toys.  Copics used to color along with sparkle pen on fur, hair and beard.

And here's the fourth side.  Used copics on holly and the sparkle pne on saying, highlighted the decoration above and below the saying with the Wink of Stella gold.  Added glitter to inside, sprayed glue in and shook glitter around, again to get coverage inside.

Can't wait to see what all of you post for the challenge.  Stop by 7 Kids site and get your goodies in time for your Christmas cards and gifts.  Sandy
