Inspirational Notebook

Hello!!  This is Amy here today sharing an altered notebook that would be a wonderful gift for someone in your life or something that you may want to keep to write your own thoughts down in.

 I found a fat little notebook at a discount store.  I don't like the thin flimsy covers that they had on it, so I cut my own out of chipboard that measure the same sizes as the ones that I took off (this one measures 5 1/2 x 4 inches).  To remove the covers, I carefully unwound the coil on the side and then remove it.

I use a pen and the cover I just removed as a guide for where I need to punch the new holes on the notebook.  I decorate the front of the notebook cover before I punched the holes (from the ones I traced on the back of the newly decorated cover) with a Crop-A-Dile. 

I put the notebook back together and then re-coil the spiral binding.  I added some embellishments on the front like the small chalkboard panel that I created with the Chalkboard Faith stamp set and some ribbon, pins and a wooden button.

 Here is a look at the wonderful Chalkboard Faith stamp set:
I hope you have a blessed day!!

Hugs,
Amy

God Understands Our Prayers

Hey, friends!  It's Jinny here to share a soft, girly, little number to highlight one of Nina's gorgeous, chalkboard sentiments.
I'm a huge fan of the chalkboard trend but wanted to go for a bit of a softer look.  So I overlaid a cardstock panel, which had been stamped with flourishes and two sizes of little hearts, with vellum in order to frame the actual sentiment.  And just because I like a clean, un-tampered with look to my vellum, I anchored it with machine stitching.
A couple more flourishes, stamped right on the vellum itself, and a simple, embossed butterfly ground the design.
Thanks so much for stopping by, y'all!  I hope that I've given you just a bit of inspiration for your own creative times this week.  Have a blessed Sunday!

A Special Meaning Card!

Hello!! Larissa here today to share a very Special Card!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this disease has been a part of my Mother-In-Laws life for the last 15 years!! She is one strong woman and I wanted to create this card for her!!

You could create this card for lots of different occasions though!! I wanted to use the Beautiful Rose Stamp Set and the Chalkboard Faith Stamp Set for my card today!! I am LOVING both of these sets because they are so versatile!!

Beautiful Rose


Chalkboard Faith


I started by stamping the Roses onto some Colored Cardstock (once on pink and once on green) then I water colored them both with darker shades to add some extra dimension!! I fussy cut it out and pieced it together!! I then stamped the Chalkboard Sentiment onto some Dark Grey Cardstock and Embossed it using white Embossing powder by Ranger!! I wanted to make parts of it Pop so I layered it by Embossing the same sentiment again in Gold Embossing Powder and cutting out the flags and hearts and piecing it together!! I LOVE the way it looks!! I added it to a FUN Die Cut Frame that I covered with some Gold Mica Textured Paste!! It looks so neat in real life!! Here is my finished card!!

Faith Laughs

Hello!  I've made a card today using one of our newest releases, Chalkboard Faith, using navy instead of the usual black.


In case you missed it during our recent release festivities, here is the stamp set, designed by Nina:



I used papers from My Mind's Eye Moments paper pad, a My Favorite Things doily die, a Spellbinder's Labels One, and a navy rose.  

Thanks for visiting today!

Introducing Chalkboard Faith and Rustic Greetings

Hello, friends! We're revving up our previews today, featuring not one but two new sets! The first is the newest set by Nina B Designs, called Chalkboard Faith. You'll remember Chalkboard Birthday from our May release, which was a huge hit. Well, Nina has done it again, this time with words of faith and encouragement. Check it out...

Sharri Seffens

Beautiful words of encouragement, fitting so many different styles of card-making. I love it!

Next, we have another new set by Angelica Suarez, called Rustic Greetings. This is more of a masculine stamp set, leaning towards the Christmas season, but with additional greetings to make the set more versatile. Take a look and let me know what you think...














The plaids (and stripes) you see on many of the cards are created with stamps in this set! Aren't they wonderful?

I have a set of Chalkboard Faith and a set of Rustic Greetings to give away. I'll draw a name for each one from the comments left on this post by 8:00 pm Pacific tonight. The winners will be announced in tomorrow's post. Good luck! 

The winner of Speaking of Fall from all comments left on yesterday's post is...

CGHUNDLEY AKA CARLA FROM UTAH!!!

Congratulations, Carla! Please email your mailing address to me at thecraftsmeow@gmail.com and I'll ship your prize out to you right after the release. Enjoy!

Tomorrow we switch gears again and feature a more feminine Christmas set by Clare Buswell that you won't want to miss. It's so cute! See you then!
