Creative Measures by Tiffany

Hello all. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and ready for some more Christmas card inspiration. I love the new stamps coming out tomorrow and the pretty This Christmas DSP also. I did use some embellishments from an older Project Life Seasonal kit for a little sparkle. The coloring was done with Spectrum Noir markers and although there was a little bleeding I love the way the image turned out. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . . Additional supplies: ATG tape runner, Spectrum Noir markers (DR1, DR5, TN2, FS6 AND GB8). 1. Create card base out of Old Olive card stock to measure 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”. 2. Die-cut a piece of Real Red card stock using a die cutting machine and the Banners framelits and then die-cut a slightly smaller banner from a piece of This Christmas Specialty DSP. Attach these 2 panels together and then adhere to the top center of the card base . 3. Using a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock

Happy Sunday. I know it's been about a week since I've posted but I've been a bit under the weather and sometimes you're just not up to being creative when you're not feeling well, so I apologize for that. I do have a Christmas card I would like to share with you today and it using some of the new items that will be coming in the 2016 Holiday catalog beginning September 1st. I have pine cones all over my yard at home and I just love taking photos of them each year so when I saw this stamp set I knew I had to have it.

Hello and welcome to a layout share using a little of this and a little of that. All of the supplies will be listed below. I love scrapping my son but I reached out to some friends who have daughters for a little change of pace and I have to tell you that there is so much more you can do with a girl layout. I love the frill of the doilies and the pink ( I don't use pink on my boy layouts) and ribbon. Of course, I also had to throw in some gold and flowers. Take a look at the layout below and let me know what you think. . I started the layout with paper from the Jen Hadfield HomeMade paper pad and cut out the middle of pink paper and cut down the gray striped paper. The Stampin' Up Love Blossoms embellishment kit had some ribbon in it that matched the papers so well so I wrapped the ribbon around the center of the striped paper and then adhered this to the cut out pink paper. I layered some papers behind the photo and added a doily (cut in half) on either side of t

It's Sunday and I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today I want to share a feminine birthday card with you and I made a masculine one using the same design. I didn't think I would be able to use the new In-Color Peekaboo Peach but while creating the masculine version I thought this was the perfect color for the design. A splash of Basic black card stock was used to break up the layers and there was some marker coloring on the cake. If you haven't checked out the New Enamel shapes in the new catalog, give them a try because I like what they added to the candles atop the cake. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . Supplies . Additional supplies: ATG tape runner. 1. Create card base out of Peekaboo Peach card stock to measure 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”. 2. Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock about ¼” smaller and then a piece of DSP slightly smaller. Attach these 2 panels together and then adhere to the ca

Happy Wednesday to everyone. I thought I'd share my latest layout with you using the #212 sketch from Sketches in Thyme. The background paper is Tangerine Tango by Stampin" Up and I used the SU Gorgeous Grunge stamp to create splatters using Versa Mark ink and then sprinkling with SU Gold embossing powder. I then heat set and used another stamp from the set and stamped in Memento Tuxedo black ink. The two panels to the far left are from a retired paper pack called Watercolor Wonder and the circle element was created using the Layering Circles framelits and Every Day Chic DSP. The title was created with the Paper Studio Alphabet stickers. The banners were made with the washi tape from the Simple Stories So Rad collection and the EPIC flair badge is from the same collection. I completed the layout by backing the photo on white card stock and then layering another piece of Watercolor Wonder dsp behind that. Using Fun foam, I popped the photo up and then attached to

Hello and welcome to a layout share I have created for a challenge in the Victoria Marie FB group. I love the sketch we had but had a lot of trouble coming up with good color combo and elements to match.
