Favorite Technique

Welcome to the newest challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge blog.  This challenge is to create something using your favorite technique.  

My current favorite technique is stacked or layered die cuts.  By layering pieces together, you can create really nice definition in your die cuts.  They stand up and stand out without adding too much bulk to a card.  You can use multiple pieces of the same die cut and glue the layers together or you can cut the die cut a second time from foam.  Either way, you glue the layers together with liquid adhesive.  I like to use Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive from Tonic Studios.

 

I also love to use flowers in my creations - I don't think you can ever have enough flowers.  Sometimes I create my own using cutting dies.

 

Be sure to hop over to The Sisterhood to see the beautiful creations of the other design team members as well as submissions from other talented crafters.

 

Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog - New DT Member

I am excited to be joining the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog as their newest design team member.  The projects are monthly and I can't wait to begin with the June challenge. Pearly and sparkly things are my favorite kind of things.

The current challenge is to create something with a ribbon and/or a bow.  There is still plenty of time this month to submit your creation at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog.

Join me next month as well where I will post my first entry on the team.

Birds Bees and Butterflies

 

Join us at The Sisterhood of Crafters for the newest challenge, Birds, Bees and Butterflies.   I had a lot of fun finding the right die cuts for this challenge.  I started with a gold embossed background colored with Distress Oxide inks.

 

I added a gold textured bird cut from Tonic Studios paper.  I used metallic cardstock for the Thinking of You and the pretty butterfly die cuts.  These are all available in my Etsy die cut store, PaperiebyJennifer.

Be sure to join us at The Sisterhood of Crafters - we would love to see your creation!

Colorful Layered Succulents

I had so much fun creating colorful layered succulents with the Succulent die cutting set from The Greetery.  I started with spray ink backgrounds and cut several different sets from these colors.  I mixed and matched to create colorful succulents.
