Basic Grey Nook & Pantry Card kit

I really like this Nook and Pantry card kit. You can use your own alphas and rub ons for the sentiment you would like- however, I did this from the package. I used Stickles and Metallic dabbers. Thanks for looking.




















Kaisercraft advent Calendar!!

This was fun to do: This Kaisercraft advent is 12 x12, the center is 8.5" x 8.5" and you can do a mini layout for it. I choose to use the Twisted Cherry Manger album for the center. I used the very back page of the album traced and trimmed to fit the area, and used all the other manger pieces. Below the images you can see some of the things I used and maybe a helpful tip.



















**Painted with brown craft paint, brushed outside and front of rows with diamond stickles

** BG Figgy pudding papers, Gold dabber for the outside of the boxes (the part you dont see here)

**K & Co 3D Christmas Stickers, Prima poinsettia flowers, Kaisercraft pearls- BG opalines would work well too, Ruby stickles, Making Memory Mistleto collection stick pin, Elsie Christmas Chipboard buttons.

**Lots of sticky strip foam adhesive.

**The glitter for the numbers is all Martha Stewart, except the Red which is Art institute glitter damask red.

**Turq ink pad by Martha, Red Ruby cats eye, and dabber for the gold base coverage for the letters.

**glossy accents in a thin layer over the inked layers. Then sprinkled the glitter. They were laid on a spare chipboard sheet and sprayed them with a clear finishing spray to keep the glitter on.

**Raffia for in the manger, Chestnut ink for inking edges, and brown doodlebug flocking for the camel.

** quickie glue pen ised to draw radiating design on the "trough" for the radiant glitter that was sprinkled over it.

Many heights for the foam used.


Eskimo Kisses Card kit & Shimmerz

I got out the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses Card kit out this weekend. The photos aren't perfect, lighting wasn't working for me today, but I wanted to share. Hopefully you can see a bit in the close ups the shimmerz.





My favorite Shimmerz spritz so far is Concrete- it gives an over all shine with little to no color. I did use the Hi Ho Silver Blingz ( the much shinier paint pot) for the edge area of the speaker bubble that says Merry Christmas.

I really saturated all the cards, then dabbed the blots with paper towels. I have to say the blots didn't stay and blended fabulously. They dried very fast, and as they dried I put something heavy on them to keep them from rippling too much. I could have let the weights on longer though.

Thanks for looking.






















Two more Digi layouts with Jennifer Barrette kits

These are fun kits that Jennifer has done. The first one is a mini kit she did a collaboration with Bella Gypsy. The kit is the Sept. mini at Elemental Scraps. The second one titled I.M.O is from her Miss Mary Jane kit also at Elemental Scraps. To see the details of all supplies used click on the layouts. Thanks for looking



Basic Grey Lemonade card kit cards

Well a month has gone by, it was busy. Finishing up work to go on vacation to Hawaii with the family, back to catch up- take a breathe.

So I pulled out my Basic Grey lemonade Card kit. I really like these- although I can think of ones on my own it takes time. I have needed cards lately and these come pre cut with embellishments, rub ons etc and I just add ink, glitter, bling and pop up dots on occassion.

At first I didn't buy these because I didn't need the sentiments, but after I got them realize most are just die cut letters I can keep or throw out. I just use my own stickers/chipboard alphas etc to make these my own and can now use all the cards in the kit. So here they are many similar to the package suggestion and the rest my own sentiments and design.

Thanks for looking.
