Scrappy card

Im currently working on a project with the super Crafty Alley September kit. It was leaving me with a lot of scraps of paper though. I hate wasting scraps, especially of such amazing papers, so I decided to use up some of them and make a card. All the elements on this card are from the kit, with the exception of the green swirl die cut and the green bow - both stash items.

I am having so much fun with this kit, the colours are so bright, vibrant and cheery - its like a little piece of summer on my craft desk!!

Quick tag

Hi everyone. I just wanted to share this quick little tag I made using scraps from past Crafty Alley kits. I wanted to use up some scraps so I would not feel so guilty about moving on to the super September kit!!

I used papers from the August kit and from the July kit also I think. I inked up some card cut into a tag shape and popped a die cut tag on the top. The flowers were made layering paper and velum scraps I had. I stamped the butterfly background to give a bit more interest. A bit of frayed burlap distress ink around the edges and it was done. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your weekends!

Fairy Card

Hi there everyone and thanks for stopping by. Today I'd like to show you a card that I’ve made using the gorgeous items from the September Kit from Crafty Alley.

The DP that I’ve used are Basic Grey and this is included in the September Kit from Crafty Alley and I’ve distressed the edges using my scissors.

The braided ribbon I’ve used is also in the September Kit along with the tiny holographic heart sequins.

Ok that’s it from me today and hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

School Daze...

This was created using the K&Co. Raw Chipboard book that was included in the September kit from the Crafty Alley shop. All papers and Basic Grey die cuts are from the kit. I made this for my 11 year old daughter as a back-to-school gift. Be sure and stop back by next Friday as I have another project to share from this K&Co. set using the chipboard pieces.

Still the bumper August Kit

I know, I know it is already September and we all look forward to start to create with the fab September Kit, but for the meantime I show you something I made with the August Kit.

By the way I'm not sure if there's any left from the September Kit, but you could call the shop and ask Felicia.

So here is my little altered box:

I used:
Paper: August Kit
Paints: Claudine Hellmuth, I got them from Crafty Alley
Metal pieces: from earlier Crafty Alley Kits.

The flower on the top is made from Sticky back Canvas and you can watch the technique on Crafty Alley Shop Blog.
That was me for today,

Wedding Anniversary

Hi there! I just want to share this card I made using the Crafty Alley August Kit. It is a card for my hubby's parents. Its their 35th wedding anniversary today. Of course the hubby only told me this today! I kept the card quite simple to get it done in time. I distressed the paper up a bit using Frayed Burlap distress ink. The papers lent themselves quite nicely to the vintage look of the digi image. I love the papers from the August kit. I cant wait to get working on the September kit. Im not sure if there are any left but you could give Crafty Alley a call to find out!

Thank you Cards

Patterned papers are all from the Crafty Alley August Kit. What a fabulous selection of papers in this kit, it's been a lot of fun creating with them this month. It's hard to tell in the photo, as my lighting was rather poor, but the colours in the patterned paper match the inks almost as if they were made to do so. I used lots of yummy satin ribbon and some Dew Drops.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Some Cards From Me

Hi there everyone just a quickie from me tonight as I completely forgot to do my posting for today. I just want to show you a couple of cards that I’ve made using the gorgeous papers from the August Kit from the Crafty Alley.

For this card I’ve used the large green flower, button and papers from the August Kit.

On this card I’ve used the very yummy papers that is in the August Kit.

And here is the last card that I want to show you using the papers from the August Kit. For the edges I’ve inked them up using clear embossing powder and then sprinkled Gold Glitter Embossing powder over it and then used my heat gun to melt it.

Hope that this has given you some ideas.
