Yar Matey + Video Hop Event with Giveaways!!!

Hi, it's Emily here, and this project is part of the January DT Blog Hop. Please visit the Paper Smooches Blog for all the details! My card features the Ahoy Me Hearty stamp set. This pirate-themed set is so much fun and it's one of my most favourite masculine sets since Super. I created my own pirate by using selective inking and masking on the mad scientist from Great Chemistry.


I used the Love Word and Flowers dies to create the eye patch. The combination of the scowling upside-down mouth, eye patch and googly eye makes me laugh!

I thought you would enjoy seeing the mad scientist's doppelgänger staring back at him. LOL!

The custom sentiment was created by mixing and matching parts of phrases from Ahoy Me Hearty and the exclamation mark is from Mini Monograms. The background was created using the Curly Clouds and Borders 1 dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Joyful Tag + Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags Giveaway

***Please click HERE for Savannah's video and giveaway with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags! 

 

My very wonderful and talented friend Tracey McNeely asked me to guest for her 25 Days of Christmas Tags and I'm delighted to share this tag and video on Day 22 of her festivities! Tracey has some amazing prizes to give away, including one from Paper Smooches so be sure to head over to her blog for all the details.



I started by die cutting the largest of the Gift Tags 2 dies and applied pearlescent embossing paste using Heidi Swapp's Confetti stencil. While that dried, I die cut the Cool Dudes Icons and stamped their respective images with the Cool Dudes stamp set. Then I coloured them in with Copic markers and embellished the snowlady's outfit with enamel dots.

To ground the snowfamily - oh, how I love that tiny little snowbaby! - I die cut the tag again in white cardstock and glimmer paper. Then I used the Borders 1 and Quotables dies to create the snow hills. After adhering the snowfamily to the tag, I added chevron ribbon and white hemp cord with some silver bells.

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to join in on my SquirrelFest Challenge and Giveaway! I'm giving away Chilly Chums and I Blank You to one lucky winner.

Introducing A Holy Holiday, Holly Jolly and Just For You

Hi, it's Emily here, and I'm sharing the card I created for the August DT Blog Hop! I was asked to feature the A Holy Holiday stamp set. I used the reindeer, berry (for the nose), large snowflake and two-part sentiment. The mini tag is from the Holly Jolly stamp set and the small snowflake is from the Just For You stamp set, both of which are also from this release. All of these stamps will be available for purchase on September 1st and Just For You is the TAM set for September 2014.

The birch tree background was created with the Autumn Groves stamp set. The sky and hills were created with a combination of the Borders 1, Stitched and Quotables dies.

Stitched Notebook + SALE!!!

Hi, it's Emily Leiphart here and this project features the seriously awesome Stitched Dies from Paper Smooches. I often make these little notebooks for my son and his friends to draw and craft in. Here's the video showing exactly how I make them:




I used the new Stitched Dies to give my notebook authenticity. I absolutely love these. Two of them coordinate with the hills and curve from Borders 1 and Quotables, respectively, so you can die cut twice and add stitched detailing on the edge of your hills and curves.

I used the Flowers Dies and an enamel dot to embellish the magnetic clasp. I also used my favourite stamp set of the moment, Blossoming Buds, to heat emboss the sentiment in leaf and mustard.

Don't forget, Paper Smooches is having a Summer Sale! There's no better time to order a few things from your wish list. :D

Thanks so much for stopping by!
