Nestabilties Storage

I just wanted to share with everyone how I have begun to store my Nestabilties from Spellbinders. I took a cork board that I had lying around and covered it with some patterned paper (this is from DCWV Green Stack). I then got a roll of magnet sheet from Michaels (the roll measures 1'x2' and was $10). I cut the magnet down to slightly larger than the largest die. I decided to use push pins to attach the magnet to the cork board. The magnet comes with adhesive on the back, but I wanted to keep the ability to re-arrange them as my collection grows. So far this system is working out really well for me.

365 Cards - Day 138

Here is my card for 365 Cards Challenge Day 138 which was to include a quotation. Since I had just gotten my new stamp set in from Papertrey Ink, I couldn't resist taking advantage of it. The chair, rug, table, books, cat and the quote is from On My Couch and On My Couch Additions which was just released and it is so cute. I used PTI's Enchanted Evening, Ripe Avocado, and Dark Chocolate inks along with Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp all the images to create the scene. I cut that out with Nestabilities Oval and then layered it with a Scalloped Oval die using PTI's Ripe Avocado. The quote was stamped on PTI's Spring Moss cardstock using Ripe Avocado. The whole thing is tied off with Enchanted Evening Swiss Dot Ribbon. I really love how this card turned out!

More Cards...

Here are some more cards from past challenges over at 365 Cards. This is Day 13-16.

The tag on this one is made with Nestabilities Ribbon Tags using the Cuttlebug.

The dragonfly is an SVG cut using SCAL. I adorned it with Skittles.

365 Cards Challenge

So here are the cards that I completed for last week's 365 Cards Challenges.

I made this background paper using the Shaving Cream technique, which is so much fun!

I made this background paper using the Heated Pearl Ex technique. Messy, but really cool looking!

The cake was cut from the Pooh & Friends cartridge.

This image is from Dustin Pike, he is an amazing artist.

I used the Nestabilities Ribbon Tag to make this tag.

Here is another card using Fabric! I had a plain white piece of fabric and I used the Rubber Band Technique on it with Papertrey Ink ink pads (colors New Leaf and Raspberry Fizz). When I was done with that I adhered some of the fabric to white cardstock and used my Nestabilites Pansy dies to cut one layer of the flower with the fabric and another layer with the Raspberry Fizz paper and topped it off with a New Leaf button. I just love how Papertrey Ink's items coordinate with each other. Hopefully they will add embossing powders soon! I also took a piece of the fabric and made it into a ribbon for the card. I purposely frayed the edges because I thought that it was a really cool effect!

I'm Playing Catch Up!

Ok so I just recently discoverd 365 Cards. These ladies have set out to do a daily challenge for a full year. They are so creative and have come up with some really cool challenges, so I have made a decision. I am going to play catch up! They started these challenges back in March and I am going to go "back in time" and catch up! Wish me luck! So here are my cards for Challenges 1-8.

Used my Nestabilites to cut all these circles, really turned out cute. I think this card would make for a cool masculine card too using the right papers, and twine instead of ribbon.

So easy! Used my brayer to ink up my Cuttlebug embossing folder before embossing for this neat background paper

Used my Copics to color this flower ( have I mentioned that I am addicted yet?)

Not thrilled with the way this one came out, but it's alright. I used the Rubber Band Technique to make the background paper. So easy and fun!

So simple. I could make a ton of these if I had to!

Really simple, and very glittery between the glitter cardstock and the gemstones!

Again I used my Nestabilites to cut the circles.

I used the Making Memories Tag Maker for the tag, so easy!
