New Boho Baby Girl 6x6 Pads

Boho Baby Girl by Christine Adolph is bright and colorful enough to spice up any girlie project! I love how the 6x6 pad allowed me to get the full effect of the patterns on my projects!

I incorporated a lot of pre-existing Boho Baby Girl and Boy elements, along with the 6x6 papers, the signature collection cardstock basics, and Luminarte Radiant Rain shimmering sprays on this layout.

 I used a card from the journaler's pack and a die cut to highlight the 6x6 papers on my card.

I used this line to decorate a Bare Elements Veronika gift card holder.  Before adhering the papers, I painted all of the edges with Rose Gold Luminarte twinkling H2Os {Wildflowers Petite Kit}

 This would make a perfect baby shower gift!

How cute are those bomb images that I cut from one of the papers on this card?  As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to create a card using one of my favorite sayings!

See how easily I was able to switch gears using the same line to create a basketball layout?

Introducing Make a Wish 6x6 pads

Hi there, it's Eva here today with a little peek of a brand new product from Creative Imaginations, new 6x6 pads! It is specifically made for card makers in mind, but really anyone can use it and I will show you three different projects with one of the 16 different different collections.  We have a different pad to meet all your cardmaking, scrapbooking or altered art needs! 

 
 
 

Today's projects are made with the Make a Wish paper line, which is just too cute.  First I made a card with it.  

I love the bright papers in this line and also the fact that there are a lot of sentiments for Birthday that you can use on all your projects, so you really don't need to reach for anything else.  The only items I added to my projects are My Favorite Things Die-namics.

My second project is a layout, an 8x8 size. In this layout I also incorporated some of our brand new Signature Gingham Cardstock papers, which perfectly coordinate with this line.  I also added the Event stamped tag by Unity's Ippity line.

My third project is an altered project using the BE Veronica Frame - GIft Card Holder incorporating this new Make a Wish paper line.  Imagine giving someone a little Birthday Gift card, or have a special birthday picture to frame, this would be a perfect little project to create. Here is the outside of it.

And take a look at the inside, which I decorated with the papers and also painted with Luminarte Twinkling H20 Kiwi color.  Again, it just matched the papers so perfect.

Supplies I used:

• NEW Make a Wish 6x6 paper pad
• NEW Signature Collection 29022 Gingham 6x6 paper pad
• 26358 Twinkling H2O Kiwi
• 16352 Bare Elements Veronica Frame - Gift Card Holder 
• 26337 12x12 Corrugated Kraft

Sneak Peek - New Samantha Walker A to Z!

Hi Everyone, Lynn here with a sneak peek of Samantha Walker's new collection A to Z - perfect for scrapping all your school pictures! For my layout I started with the yellow dotted paper as my background. I pre-planned my page and decided where my title would go. I used chipboard letters I had in my stash and placed them on the page and and sprayed it with Ginger Peach Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist. I then created my layout using papers, stickers and diecuts from the collection. The banner was creathing using a MFT banner die.

For my card I used the same yellow dotted background. I used the ruler sticker and backed it with black cardstock. I punched out a scalloped circle and placed a smaller circle punch over that and placed the teacher sticker on the circle punches. The banner was again created with a MFT banner die and I used ginger Peach Twinkling H20's in Ginger Peach to color the chipboard letters for the title.

Fun with Wood Paper

Tomorrow is our BIG Day! We are going to be showing some sneak peeks of our newest collections and we are super excited!!

In the meantime DT member, Alice Carman shares an adorable project using our Kid's camp papers and Real Wood!

Wanted to make something special for the Design Team Girls today and I couldn't think of any other special way than to make this little mini book.  Not many of you know, but I'm a hug fan of owls and so here is what I came up with using our Wood lines, Creative Cafe and Signature collections.  Of course I had to name the camp OWLICE.  Owl plus Alice equeals OWLICE...giggle!

These are the insert pages:

Did you notice some of the wood paper is a bit darker?  In order to give it a darker color, I used a brown ink pad and a make up sponge.  Depending on how dark you want your wood paper, use a dark brown.  For a lighter brown, use a lighter brown.  Just rub the make up sponge into the ink pad and then rub it onto your wood paper.  That's it!  How cool, right?

I used the following supplies:

Creative Cafe Collection

22503 Spirit Notes {in stores}

25029 Things to Do {in stores}

25019 Calendar Year DS Paper

25021 Calendar Day DS paper

25020 Calendar Month DS paper

 

Signature Collection

26685 Peace DS Paper

26683 Owl DS Paper
