Christmas in July

It's Christmas in July at Crafter's Companion!

Introducing your one-stop shop for all your holiday papercrafting needs.

Everything from stamp sets, to embossing folders, to CD Roms full of printables,

you'll find it all here in our Christmas shop!

Here's the card I made with some of our new products:

I used a sentiment from the new Sentimentals "Mistletoe Kisses"

a stamp line featuring four sets that are chock full 

with every kind of holiday sentiment you could possibly need!

And I matted that on a piece of embossed cardstock using the new

Holiday Holly 6x6 Embossalicious folder.

I hope you like it!

And I hope you'll check out our Christmas in July!

It's Your Day, Be Fabulous

Happy Saturday morning, everyone!

I'm playing along with the Crafter's Companion Monthy Challenge

today, which is to use die cuts on your project.

I used another set from my favorite new range, Barkley,

this time featuring his adorable sidekick Purrdey the cat.

This set is called Be Fabulous and comes with several different

sentiments for maximum versatility.

I colored Purrdey with my Spectrum Noirs on 

CC Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock using:

BG1, BG2, BG4, PP3, PP5, CR8, BT1, BT2, BT4, and BT5.

I hope you like it!

And I hope you'll head over to the CC Challenge Blog

and play along with us!

Have a great day!

Good Luck Feathers with Video Tutorial

Hey everyone!

How are you all doing?

I am keeping busy, busy, busy creating cards for the 

Crafter's Companion booth at CHA Summer 2013 in Vegas.

Wish I were actually going, but having some of my cards featured

is the next best thing, am I right?

So today I was stamping with my brand-new Delicata Ink

that will be sold at Crafter's Companion in the very near future,

and I decided to go ahead and film a video since photos really 

don't do the ink justice. It is so shiny and lovely in real life!

On camera it appears a little greenish, but in person,

it's golden perfection! You definitely need to give it a try.

Here's my card:

This close up is a more true image of the gold delicata  ink.

And the video:

Have an awesome day!

Lawnscaping Challenge #62

Hey everyone!

Welcome to Lawnscaping Challenge #62!

Our challenge is generously being sponsored by the wonderful

folks at Lawn Fawn who have offered up a free stamp set to our winner.

Thanks, Lawn Fawn!

Here's my card:

I stamped the small hot air balloon, sentiment, and small heart

from Blue Skies and the larger heart from Home Sweet Home

in gold Delicata ink onto papers from Basic Grey's What's Up collection.

I also went around the edges with the Delicata ink.

It doesn't show up as well on camera, but in real life it's quite pretty

and gold is super hot right now!

I hope you like it!

Please head over to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog

and check out the other amazing DT samples

and don't forget to play along!

Have a great day!
