Stacy's Paper Crafts

Coming soon: March of the Snowmen

 

Yay I'm finished!

We started decorating for Christmas, have you? We still need a few more decorations including a tree. We'll probably go get one this next coming Saturday. This will be our first "real" tree. I hope it doesn't die before Christmas! LOL 

I also finished my Christmas cards for this year. I didn't really have a plan for this year other than wanting to try a non-traditional color scheme. I used patterned papers from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses collection.

 

This is one of my favorites... I love Rudolph :) I really like the blue color in the patterns... it's kinda like a robin's egg blue color. The burgundy colors in the collection are pretty too.  Thanks for looking :)

 

Holly Cards

 

These are two designs I was considering for my cards this year but after coloring the Holly I realized it would be impossible for me to finish them before Christmas! LOL So I went with another super simple design that is perfect for mass producing that I'll share with you all later.

Supplies:
Stamps:    TAC's Flowers & Holly
Paper:    Basic Grey patterned paper, Red & white cardstock
Ink: Palette Noir & Copic Markers
Other:    Ribbon

Thanks for looking & Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Petite Thank you notes...

Happy Saturday! Not too much going on here today. We're just taking it easy & hanging out. I wanted to share these petite thank you cards with you all. They measure 3.5x 2.5 inches, a size I don't work with often but they were fun to make! I think I'm going to whip a bunch this size using some of those random sized patterned paper strips that I have laying around. :)

Supplies:
Stamps: TAC
Paper: TAC & Bazzill CS
Ink: Palette Noir & L'Amore Red
Other: Ribbon

Home & Heart

PaperTrey Ink, The Angel Company, & Basic Grey = happiness :) I love these companies. They always offer something that inspires me to create. This patterned paper makes me really happy. We recently moved further north (still in Maryland) so we're expecting a lot more snow this year :) This paper is going to be perfect for "snowy day" layouts. 

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI & TAC
Paper: Basic Grey & TAC cardstock
Ink: Palette Noir & L'Amore red ink pads
Other:     mini button, scrappers floss, & an edge distresser

Celebrate! a masculine birthday card

Recently I received a request for a set of masculine birthday cards. Handmade versions can be a challenge for many, myself included! But you can whip some up in no time using a sketch, a few great sheets of coordinating patterned papers, a bold sentiment stamp, and a metal embellishment or two.

Basic Grey and Scenic Route are two of my all time favorite manufacturers for masculine prints! I hope this card inspires you to create your own man-ly cards. 

This card is also available for purchase in my ETSY store My inventory is pretty low right now but check back over the next couple of weeks. I'll be adding more Holiday & birthday cards.

One more...

I couldn't help myself! LOL All images TAC, patterned paper by My Minds Eye that's been in my stash for a long while. 

 

Now that I created a few Thanksgiving cards I won't feel guilty about moving on to some Christmas card designs. I'll have a few cards to share with you tomorrow. 

Supplies:
Stamps: TAC: More Abundance & Celebrate the Seasons
Paper: MME patterned paper, Brown & white cardstock
Other:  Palette Burnt Umber ink, Copic markers, 
brown sheer dotted ribbon.

 

Happy Thanksgiving

I soooo love this stamp set by PTI. It's been on my wish list for a long time. I used SU's Pumpkin Pie & Really Rust inks to give the flower an earthy fall feel. Hope you're having a great day! 

Supplies:

Stamps:    TAC & PTI
Paper: Basic Grey PP, TAC US white CS, SU Pumpkin Pie & Really Rust CS
Other: SU Pumpkin Pie & Really Rust ink pads, Palette Jardin Moss ink pad
     edge distresser, & 3 gold mini brads

Give Thanks

I usually send very few Thanksgiving cards but I try to make one or two each year. TAC is having a sale on their paper collections so I ordered Rustic Chic. This collections has been around for awhile but I've never ordered it. After seeing some awesome creations using it I decided to finally order some. 

I really bought it to create a layout of my son wearing one of his cowboy hats his father picked up for him in Texas while there on a business trip. But I thought this paper would also make some great fall cards too! 

Supplies:

Stamps: TAC's Delicious Autumn
Paper: Rustic Chic patterned paper, brown & white cardstock
Other: Palette Noir & Burnt Umber ink pads, Prismacolor colored pencils,
baby oil, brown ribbon 7 button, & white scrappers floss

Thanks for looking! Have a great Monday :)
