Travel Journal Tutorial - Featuring Creative Cafe' kit for May

Happy Saturday Everyone! Today I want to share with you a quick tutorial on how I created a Travel Journal using a purchased notebook from my local grocery store office supply area. Here's a look at the front of my finished book - the ribbon you see coming out of it at the bottom is a bookmark I inserted along the way! 

 Head over to my post today at The Rubber Cafe' - to see the tutorial and more!

Shadow box tutorial featuring the Creative Cafe's -kit for April

Hi Everyone!  This week I'm back with a fun project to share using of course this month's Creative Cafe' kit - Good Times to Follow!   I love Vintage, and this kit is screaming just that - so I had no choice but to come up with something where I could incorporate some of my vintage photos with these great images and papers included in the kit.

 

The foundation of my project today are shadow boxes that I created with the cardstock included in the kit.  I love the size of these sweet shadow treasures, and even more how they turned out!  Even more I loved how easy they were to create. So I didn't stop at one and made two!!

To create your own shadow boxes I put together a little step by step tutorial for you to follow over on my post today at The Rubber Café.

Creative Cafe Dec kit of the month - Wish Big!

Hi Everyone!

This December kit of the month for the Creative Cafe' - has definitely been fun - and I know you're going to love all the projects and cards the team have been preparing to share with you!

Today - I'm going to share a couple of quick fun tutorials. My card is using the 'Wiper' Card technique which pops up an image or message but lays flat for easy mailing. On the front, I've made a 'faux' Pinwheel that I thought perfect for the front of my card so just had to share that with you as well. So grab your beverage of choice and we'll get started!

Here's a look at my card - as it stands when opened.

And when pushed flat... you can see it will fit nicely in an envelope.

The Rubber Cafe' - Burnished Velet and Tutorials

My post today over at the Rubber Cafe' blog is featuring a tutorial and background technique, commonly referred to as Burnished Velvet. The twist here, is that instead of both colors being glitter - I combined it with Rangers Distress powder (Vintage Photo) I've seen this technique before but always with glitter! So really wanted to try this out!
