DT - Butterfly Challenge

Today's "DT Post Card"

Hey everyone! Welcome to another week over a Stamps & Fun - Creativity!  This week is "butterfly challenge."



I love making these little mini albums.  Actually they are so much work with all the detailed cutting but they always turn out so nice.  I love embossing sentiments and quotes with white embossing powder onto black or dark papers.


There are lots of pockets and elements in this mini-album.


More pockets.  The slits on the right are all hand cut through both layers.  I love to add the little hearts to the top of the pull outs to add some embellishment.


More pullouts including a hidden one at the top between the pages.  There are so many ways to hide an area for something to be pulled out!


More pockets and pullouts.  There is one hidden in the right side of this album.  I plan to do a video tutorial in the future on this mini-album construction.  Stay tuned for that!


I hope you enjoyed this project!  Please check out the other DT members' projects!  Thanks so much for joining me for this Challenge over at Stamps & fun = Creativity!

Sketch - DT - Challenge

Today's "DT Post Card"


Hey everyone! Welcome to another week over a Stamps & Fun - Creativity!  This week is a Sketch Challenge.


I just love making vintage styled paris/travel items.  This week's sketch challenge I thought about making up another Paris card.  I (if you believe) am still using my old paper line "Paris Nights".  I have had this paper for awhile and still have just a bit left!

I inked all my papers with vintage photo distress ink.  Then I created a frame for my card using this grey card stock and I sewed this "print" paper to it around the edge as well as this roman numeral strip to this piece as well.  I then took a square of this greyish black paper and I used lots of pop dots to pop up this piece.  I then took my printed digi image and matted it up with some black card stock and then popped it up with more pop dots.  I love the layers on this card.  To embellish the card I used a Tim Holtz "imagine" metal piece and a a fleur golden element from Joulees.  To finish it up I added some gold bling to the left top hand corner.

I love this sketch and this card and how it came together.  Sometimes sketches can be frustrating trying to layer light/dark papers so it looks great, but I really love how it finished up!

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Please check out the other DT members' projects!  Thanks so much for joining me for this Challenge over at Stamps & fun = Creativity!
