Stamping | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

It’s blog hop time!! WELCOME to the Damask Divas’ Blog Hop!! This month we are featuring the Pathfinding Paper Packet. Blog hops are easy to navigate and a fantastic way to find inspiration!! Simply click the link at the bottom of my post to take you to the next consultant, but if you happen to get lost along the way you can find a complete list of participants at the Damask Divas’ Blog.

My project this month is based off this sketch. Starting with a Champagne Cardstock base I used a Waterbrush {retired} and Chocolate Exclusive Ink™ to create a splash pattern on the cardstock. I then added a layer of B&T from the Pathfinding Paper Packet to the top of the layout followed by a chevron zipstrip. Next I added my photos. {My son is so little here! These photos were taken Fall 2011. He was only 3….where has the time gone?!?! This is why I love scrapbooking- I love going through the old photos- seeing and remembering these special moments.} The border along the top edge of the photos is from One-Way Borders Stamp Set in second generation Chocolate Exclusive Ink™. I then used a {retired} tag set for the journaling & title. The title was created using the Vogue Alphabet Stamp Set and Chocolate Exclusive Ink™. The border of tags along the bottom edge of the photos was cut using another B&T Duo™ from the Pathfinding Paper Packet using the Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge. The strip of hearts is another zipstrip {LOVE zipstrips and they are on every B&T Duo™ in every paper packet} I also added multiple Pathfinding chipboard Complements & Pathfinding Assortments throughout the layout for the final touches.

I had a long weekend this weekend, but for some reason I couldn’t get my crafty mojo going! I have a lot of ideas burning in my mind, but I couldn’t seem to get myself away from Pinterest and Bloglovin’! With the deadline quickly approaching for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, I finally convinced myself to get upstairs into my craft room and get to it!

Here is the sketch for this week’s challenge.

For my card I used the Pathfinding Paper Packet and added a little Gold Shimmer Trim {Love all of the Shimmer Trims! The glitter doesn’t flake off and it is adhesive backed}. Instead of using a tag like the sketch shows I cut two leaves from the Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge. The underneath layer is cut in Barn Red Cardstock and the top layer is cut in gold foil paper. {I’ve previously mentioned that when we purchased our home the previous owner was a paper collector. She left behind drawers and drawers of paper and this gold foil paper was included. I have no idea who made it or where it came from but it’s awesome. I love the shine!!}

I ran the gold foil paper through my Big Shot with a Lifestyle Crafts dry embossing folder. I then added a sentiment from an upcoming Stamp Of The Month {Be on the lookout for future projects using that stamp set} in Barn Red Exclusive Ink™. Oh, and I also rounded the edge of one of the corners of the card. Violà! Card complete!

Thanks for stopping by!!
