I created a crossover gatefold card for today’s sneak peek. You can see my full process and instructions in my video HERE.
I used patterned paper, ephemera and enamel dots from this collection to decorate the outside of the card. I also used patterned paper and one of the stamps from this collection on the inside.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of the new kit! Be sure to stop back by each day this week for a different peek at the October 2020 Flavor of the Month card kit!
Hello! It’s Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts here today and I’ve got a fun little paper piecing card to share! Pink is my favorite color, so I was excited to be able to incorporate it into my owl today. You can watch the full process video HERE.
I used 2 different paper collections for my card. The pink plaid that I used for my card mat is from the Rustic Watermelon collection and the pink and brown polka dot papers came from the Cool Treats collection.
I stamped my large owl image on the brown polka dot pattern, the pink polka dot pattern and some white cardstock. Then I just fussy cut out all the pieces and layered them together. I did color up the beak and talons of the owl with an orange marker.
I also stamped one of the small flower images from the stamp set onto the pink polka dot pattern and fussy cut those out. I embellished those flowers with some white enamel dots from a past Flavor of the Month card kit.
I stamped the You’re a Hoot sentiment onto my white rectangle and then added some Glossy Accents to the owl’s eyes.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a crafty day!
Hello, it’s Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts back today! I’m making a slimline card today to play along with the October 2020 Scrapping for Less card sketch challenge!
I also used the SFL Sketch Challenge #8 card sketch. You can see my full process video HERE.
The card sketch makes it easy and gives you all the measurements. I used a navy cardstock panel as my mat and then cut the patterned paper into 3 inch strips. I just trimmed those strips down so that the patterned paper would look like it created one solid 3 by 8 inch panel on top of the navy card mat.
I used a 2 3/4 inch stitched circle die to cut out my colored image and then a 3 inch circle die to cut another piece of the navy cardstock to mat my image. This circle then covered the seam where my 2 patterned paper pieces meet up on the card.
I added an orange strip to play off the orange in my colored image and used the sentiment “Happy Pumpkin Spice Season” from the stamp set. I finished off my card with some orange enamel dots left over from a recent Flavor of the Month card kit.
Thanks for checking out my card today! I hope you’re all having a crafty day!
Hello friends! It’s Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts here today and I’m excited to share my fun little project with you! I am using the new Golden Beach paper collection to make a mini scrapbook album and a bonus card with the scraps!
If you’d like to watch how I made my mini album and card, you can view the full process video HERE.
Along with the paper collection, I used some 5 1/2 inch square Kraft envelopes from my stash, the At the Beach Sentiments stamp set and some sequins from a past Flavor of the Month card kit.
I used the envelopes as the base of my album, adhering the flap of one envelope into another envelope to make a set of pages. I used Art Glitter Glue for this step. You just repeat the process until you have the amount of pages you want. Once you get your last envelope added on, you take the flap from the very first envelope and adhere it down to the very last envelope you added. You can see the full process in the video.
The start of my album, inserting one flap into another envelope.
Once my album was put together, I trimmed the patterned paper down to 5 3/8 square for both the covers and inner pages. This allowed a small Kraft border to be visible around my patterned paper. I decorated the pages with the scrap strips I had left from cutting down the 6×6 paper, along with the stamped sentiments and images.
I adhered my decorated pages to the album with Scor-tape. I finished the album off with some sequins throughout, just to add a little pop of bling.
Once I finished the album, I realized I had a bunch of scrap strips leftover, so I decided to make a card to use those pieces up.
I cut down a piece of cardstock to 3 3/4 by 5 inches. I added some adhesive across the whole front of this panel and then started laying the strips down diagonally across my panel. I added a piece of cardstock behind this panel as a card mat. I used one of the At the Beach sentiments that I had stamped but not used for the album as the sentiment for this card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed seeing the Golden Beach paper as well as my quick little mini album! Have a great day!
I decided to use another sketch from the sketch download sheet. However, I adjusted the card base to a standard A2 size card base at 5 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. And, since I was using the image of the sunflower that I had left over from my blog hop cards, I went with a circle element in the center instead of an oval.
I used the yellow honeycomb pattern as my triangles in the corner and ended up cutting a 2 inch square and then cut it in half to get my triangles.
I used a 3 1/4 inch stitched circle die to cut out my sunflower image and a 3 1/2 inch stitched circle die to cut out the yellow mat to go behind it.
I finished the card off with a little knot using the leftover white sheer ribbon from this collection.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you got some more inspiration for using your September kit! If you are interested in purchasing this kit, you can find out more about it HERE. Be sure to act fast, though, because the kits have been selling out pretty quickly!
When I saw that there was a gnome stamp in one of the collections I was in love! I decided to create my card using a grid pattern so I could use several of the patterns. You can watch my full process video HERE.
I used the gnome and the Happy Fall sentiment from the stamp set and then colored them in. I trimmed the gnome piece into a tag for the focal point of my card.
I used a red cardstock card base and then a white cardstock mat behind my pattern paper rectangles. I trimmed each pattern paper down to 1 7/8 by 2 1/2 inches. And then just adhered them in a grid.
I finished off the card with some tan and white twine and tan enamel dots.
Thanks for stopping by to see me card today! Be sure to check back here each day this week for more sneak peeks! The full kit reveal will be next Saturday along with the blog hop.
I also used the Reindeer Games stamp set to color up some cute little elf images to add to the front of my pockets.
I started with a little diaper fold type pocket. I took the 6×6 piece of paper and folded it in half diagonally. Then I folded the top tip down to the center fold. I folded both of the side tips in towards the middle and then adhered my top flap down over the top of them using some Art Glitter Glue.
I decorated the front of the pockets with the little elves that I colored and fussy cut out, layered on a white scalloped circle.
The next pocket I made is a double pocket. You can follow the process video for scoring and folding this double pocket. Starting with another 6×6 sheet, I again folded it in half diagonally. I scored at 1/2 inch on either side of that center fold line. I turned my paper a quarter of a turn and scored at 2 3/4 inches in on both sides. I folded up all of my score lines to create the holder. I punched a hole at the top of the holder and used some ribbon and bakers twine to hold it all together.
I used my elf images to decorate up these pockets as well.
These little pockets will hold tea bags or Ghiradelli chocolate squares. They would make great little stocking stuffers or coworker treats for the holidays!
Thanks for checking out my project today! I hope you enjoyed this treat holder idea and the cute Christmas Treats paper collection!
Hello everyone! It’s Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts here today with a fun little bubble gum treat holder project!
I wanted to create a treat holder for the bubble gum pack that only used 1 sheet of 6×6 paper. I chose to use the Bubbles Galore collection #4 from the August Flavor of the Month Kit. To get a better idea of how to make this, you can watch the full process video HERE.
Start with your 6×6 piece of patterned paper and trim it at 4 inches. You will now have one piece that is 4×6 inches and one that is 2×6 inches. Trim the 2×6 inch piece down to 2×4.5 inches.
Take the 4×6 inch piece and score it at 2 3/4 inches and again at 3 1/4 inches. This creates a little folder that will be the outside of our treat holder.
For the 2×4.5 inch piece, you’ll need to score from side to side at 1/2, 1, 3 1/2 and 4 inches. Then turn the piece and score up from the bottom at 1/2 and 1 inch. You’ll have a set of 4 squares at each of the bottom corners. Trim this off to allow the pocket to fold up cleaner.
Now you can adhere your pocket to the inside of the folder! I used some Art Glitter Glue for this. Then you can embellish the outside. I added some white ribbon similar to what originally came in my August kit to hold the folder closed. Then I finished it off with some ephemera from the Bubbles Galore collection.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this fun little project and found a new way to use the fun bubble papers in this month’s kit!
I used Collection #1 and made a card using this super cute rubber duckies in the bubble bath image. You can see the full process video HERE.
Be sure to check back each day this week for new sneak peaks of this month’s cute kit! And, follow our blog hop on Saturday, August 29th for lots of inspiration and a more in depth look at the kit!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a crafty day!
Hello there! It’s Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts back today and I’m playing with the new Cool Treats paper collection recently released by Scrapping for Less. I love the combination of popsicle patterns along with the dots and stripes. You can watch the full process video for my projects HERE.
For my first project, I made a card using the watermelon treat paper.
I started off with a spearmint green card base. I added a mat of white cardstock and then the polka dot side of the patterned paper. I matted my strip of the watermelon pattern with white cardstock as well to help it pop. I added my sentiment along with some Blushing Red Nuvo Crystal Drops to finish off the card.
For my next project, I used an entire sheet of the pastel popsicle pattern paper to decorate a Dollar Tree mini comp book.
I cut 2 patterned paper pieces to 3 by 4.5 inches. I adhered these to the front and back covers of the comp book. I used part of the remaining strip I had to back my sentiment/embellishment on the front of the notebook. I used my last scrap piece to decorate the inside of the front cover.
For my last two projects, I chose this cute rainbow popsicle pattern. I started with the nail file holder and cut this patterned piece down to 3.5 by 6 inches. Then I scored it at 1 inch, 1 1/4 inches, 2 1/4 inches and 3 1/2 inches. I put the box together, added my nail file and then embellished with a tag punched from a scrap of the patterned paper and a sticker from a previous kit.
And for my final little project, I made a mini post it note holder. I cut down the remaining piece of the pattern paper to 2 1/4 by 5 inches. Then I scored at 1 1/8 inches, 1 1/2 inches, 3 1/8 inches and 3 1/2 inches. I glued in my Dollar Tree mini post it note pad. I added a small piece of adhesive velcro to help my holder to stay closed. Then I finished if off with another tag cut from scraps and popsicle sticker.
Thanks for stopping back by today! I hope you enjoyed these projects! They were so fun and quick and I know some young girls who will love them!
