Miracle by Patti Hamil

Today I wanted to share a layout of our Granddaughter right after she was born! She is almost five months old now, time is passing too fast! I wanted a soft look so I kept the colors neutral with pink and a little bit of green.

Here are some close-ups of the details. I used the Poetry folder from the Elegance collection on a soft pink cardstock and then inked over it with white. It just suits the sweet photo!

I made the blooms from the Daisy Nesting Die! I used some chalk ink, Glitzin Glamour and Pearls!!!

Start by snipping into every second petal as shown below:

 Trim each side of the double petals to look like the one below, ink across each section and in the center.

Add a pearl and Glitzin Glamour around it to finish off the bloom!

Taylor by Patti Hamil

Hi, I have a layout to share using some different Couture Creations products! I used a couple of dies and also a couple of folders! You can use these for accents and still get a big effect! I used scrap paper on this page, besides the dotted background. I added a couple of Coordinations tags and some alpha stickers.

This is our youngest son's fiance, and we are so happy to have her join our family!!! She is beautiful inside and out!

Here you see where I made some blue flowers with the Daisy Nesting die, and used one of the Sophia dies for the leaves! I added a self-adhesive pearl for the center. I also used a scrap of an embossed paper where I had used the Taylor embossing folder!!!

Here you see two more types of flowers made with the Daisy nesting die, and also some self-adhesive gems and another Sophia Intricutz die!!!! I added gems to some areas of the gold accent.

Here you see where I embossed two of the Coordinations tags with the Craisy Daisy folder!! I inked them lightly with white ink.

one more close-up.

This page came together using scraps and just a few accents! I like to go through my scrap pile and see what combinations I can come up with! Then adding some Couture Creations and you have a super page!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Joy to You by Patti Hamil

Hi, it's Patti. If you're like me you want to make your Christmas cards if possible, but probably don't have much time. I'm here to show you how you can quickly make simple but elegant looking cards in just a couple of steps with just a few supplies! 

This card is so easy that I don't have step-by-step photos because there really are none! Here is the finished card.

and a close-up.

Now, I'm going to tell you how easy it is. All you need is a sheet of ivory cardstock (or colored if you like). I used cardstock for a 5x7 card here. Next you need a sheet of specialty cardstock, the foil looking cardstock, any color, but I used gold.  You also need one embossing folder, I used Poinsetta Lullaby from the Wrapped In Joy collection. Then you just need a couple of blooms, a title and a piece of ribbon!

The embossing shows beautifully on this shiny type paper, and especially for the Holidays! But the look is really striking! Each folder in this collection will make a gorgeous card on it's own!!! I hope you try this if you're short on time like I am!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Peace on Earth by Patti Hamil

Hi, it's Patti. Today I want to share a technique that is easy, but beautiful. Especially for any Holiday cardmaking or scrapbooking that you want to do. I started out with one of the gorgeous Wrapped In Joy embossing folders. I chose because I wanted to color in the little holly leaves with different colors.

Here are a couple of close-ups of the finished project.

First I gathered some of the supplies, the embossing folder, my trusty tweezers, markers in colors that I wanted and some gems.

I colored in the embossed parts with several colors of  markers. I chose very light colors for this. I used pink, blue, green and burgundy.

After coloring them all in, the magic starts! I just used iridescent ink and rubbed over the entire embossed image! It lightens and adds just the right amount of shimmer!!!

 I used the Glitzin Glamour just for the little berries on this.

When  I finished, I added an embossed strip across the two sections where they joined (this is a larger card).

I thought the little bird would look perfect on this card too, so I cut it and colored with the same blue marker and used the Shimmers ink on it as well!

This is how it looked!

 

I used the fancy die for a frame for my sentiment. I embossed a small piece of Gold paper with the same folder to use behind the little frame as a backing.

I added a few matching blooms and some gems and that was it!!! A very striking look but a really simple technique to do. It's fun to play around to see what the ink looks like on the different folders with different colors!!! I hope you enjoyed seeing this and hope you play with this technique too!!!

Dream by Patti Hamil

Today I wanted to share a layout of our beautiful Granddaughter that I did using the Super Powder Puff folder from the Fresh & Fun collection. This design is such a super fun folder to play with, for this one I decided to add some color! I also added LOTS of layers!!!

Here is what I started with.

I colored in the designs with four pastel colors, green, pink, yellow and blue. I just used my Zig markers for this, it was really easy since the  image is so well defined.

Here you see the Nesting Die squares layered underneath the photo! And I used the foam tape underneath as well!!!!

I used the Kaleidoscope Heart die in three colors and added dimension on these as well. I also backed them with a cream cardstock with a yellow tint to match the little yellow fans I tucked behind each square. I also added a pink gemstone to each tip!

In each little center corner I added a tiny little rose at each fan. I added a sticker sentiment "dream".

This layout was so much fun to create, and I hope you liked seeing it! Don't be afraid to add lots of layers and dimension to your pages sometimes, it really makes them come alive!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
