Spice Cake Monogram Decor

So as you probably noticed, I am a huge fan of making monogrammed decor... so here's part 1 of the birthday gift I made for my friend Allison. She LOVES the Spice Cake line, so I used the Designer series paper, Fabric and Button! This is a wooden 'A' you can find at any craft store. I traced it onto the designer paper then cut it out and glued it onto the wood, did a little sponging around the edges too. The little 'friends' tag is from Tiny Tags stamp set and punched out with the Jewlery Tag punch, pinned on with a Vintage Trinket safety pin.

Check back tomorrow for part 2 of her gift!
I wanted to keep it myself! But 'A' isn't my initial...LOL

Spice Cake Birthday Card

This is a birthday card for my friend Allison. We finally got together yesterday for her birthday, and enjoyed a nice afternoon having lunch and shopping! I couldn't wait to give her gift to her! I will show part one of it tomorrow...it ties into this card with the Spice Cake Designer Paper.
The stamp is from Happiest Birthday Wishes (a hostess set) My new fave tool is the Colour Spritzer  if you look closely you can see little Soft Suede speckles on the sentiment. This tool is amazing!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow and Friday for the rest of her gift!

Spice Cake Cookie Cutter ornament

 Happy Friday!
Well even though we got our first snowfall here in Calgary this morning, I'm still not ready for winter. So I made this fall inspired cookie cutter ornament to make myself feel better. LOL 
This matches with the Spice Cake Fabric Wreath I made last week. If you didn't see that post, click HERE.

I used alot of Crystal Effects to adhere the metal cookie cutter to the Spice Cake DSP, then spread it all over to create a nice shine. You have to let this dry for 24 hrs!!  I added some ripped pieces of Designer Fabric  on the Linen Thread, and embellished with a Big Button in Pool Party, and a cute little tag pinned with a Vintage Trinket safety pin. The 'hand crafted' sentiment is from Tiny Tags stamp set.

Hope you enjoy!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Lots of Projects to share!

 I just realized I had a bunch of projects to share from a recent class and Stamp Club I attended this past month, so I thought I would share!

Here's the 3 projects we did at Allison's Stamp Club this past month....
Our technique was Faux Mother of Pearl. It's a super simple way to add some beautiful detail to any project.
I will probably do a tutorial on it later on...

Our next card was a super cute one using the new Petite Pocket Die....

Open up the envelope and there's a surprise inside!

 3 little tags!
The last card was a Christmas one using the Postage Stamp Punch and Merry & Type stamp set...

All 3 projects featured the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper, and Fabric....so pretty!

I also have 3 more cards to share from an Embossing class I took last week....First card is a replica of the christmas one I just showed you, but different colours and the Faux Metal technique.

I just love the look of this Faux metal.....so cool!

Next was the Cracked Glass technique....very neat!

 And the last is the Double Embossing Technique....

 

I really like the look of this one!

Excellent cards Allison, thanks for teaching us!

Spice Cake Fabric Wreath - with cookie cutter ornaments!

I'm in love with the Spice Cake line from Stampin' Up!....I admit it took me awhile to buy the products, but I'm so glad I did! Aren't these colours amazing together...Pool Party, Soft Suede and More Mustard. Last year I made cookie cutter ornaments for Christmas, but I just found these leaf shaped ones and thought I should make some with the Spice Cake DSP and pair it with the matching Designer Fabric and these HUGE buttons!

 

So for this wreath, I used a plain wooden embroidery hoop and tied ripped pieces of the Spice Cake Designer Fabric alternating with the 3 different designs. 

For the Leaf cookie cutters, I traced out the shape onto the paper, cut it out, then used Crystal Effects to glue the cutter onto the paper, I also filled in the whole leaf with it to give it a nice shine. I then strung them up using Linen Thread.

Thanks for stopping by today! Let me know what you think!
