Product #4: Wildflowers

     This is a continuation of my last three blog posts using Die-namics Blueprint 18 and Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook paper pad. It works like an multiplication problem only there are many solutions to this. Here is the fourth solution:

 x  =

     For this card I used a background stamp, then die cut it with 2 trapezoid dies. The paper on the banner is the same color as the stamped ink.

Product #3: Butterfly Spinner

     This is a continuation of my last two blog posts using Die-namics Blueprint 18 and Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook paper pad. It works like an multiplication problem only there are many solutions to this. Here is the third solution:

 x = 

     With the circle die in the Blueprint, I thought a spinner card would be a perfect product for this die/paper combo. I found a focal image that was symmetrical. This butterfly was just the right size for the Blueprint circle. It took me a while to figure out how to make this card, but when I made the second one it was simple. My students were surprised how easy it was to construct .

Product #2: Texas Horses

     This is a continuation of my last blog post using Die-namics Blueprint 18 and Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook paper pad. It works like an multiplication problem only there are many solutions to this. Here is the second solution:

     For this card I cut a smaller card base - 5 1/2 x 3 1/8. I did this to accommodate the stars that I added on the fold of the card base.

Product #1: Porthole Snowman

     Since teaching the Die-namics Blueprint 18/Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook class, I have decided to blog about each of the cards in the class. It works like an multiplication problem only there are many solutions to this. Here is the first solution:

X =

     I started this card with a digital stamp from Lili of the Valley. It is a three part stamp called "Snowman Trio". Digital stamps are versatile in that they can be resized. I resized the stamp to the exact size needed to die cut it with the circle from the Blueprint die set. I colored it with Copic markers. 

Lili of the Valley - Snowman Trio

     I used a Darice embossing folder to emboss snowflakes and sanded the snowflakes to bring out the white from the inside of the paper. The wooden snowflake was super find at the Hobby Lobby after Christmas sales. It is stained with Walnut Distress Stain.

Eeyore's Kiss

     I am finally getting a chance to scrapbook some pics from my visit to Disney in Anaheim. My fave character is Eeyore who I met at breakfast. As you can see, he was pretty happy to meet me as well.

     I used this sketch from Sketch N Scrap. As usual there is a challenge on the blog and you are invited to participate. It is easy to link up your project and see if you are the lucky winner. Just try out the sketch below.

Layout Sketch #134

     The Eeyore Mickey is a purchase from Etsy. I altered the bottom of it a bit. In order to have the tail swing back and forth on a black brad, I made my own svg file of a donkey tail. 
     I think I'm going to call this font "My Eeyore Font" from now on. It fits perfectly on this banner. 
     I have to mention the mini Eeyore punch. My husband gave it to me years ago. He brought my lunch to my classroom one day and I found it in the bottom of the bag. Surprise!!! I punched a few and added them to A+ papers This is the first time I've used it in my paper crafting.
      I ended up making a complimentary page to extend it into a 2-page layout. 

      I added a fun tag to page 2. It goes behind the mat and is forced to stop when it meets the back strip. When you pull it, it is fun to see the yellow disappear. 

      I added a "Hidden Mickey" on the tag as well. You can't see it until you pull the tag. That makes 4 "Hidden Mickey's" on this 2-page layout. Can you find them all?
