Jo's Scrap Shack - #163 - Anything Goes

I'm so excited, today is my debut as part of Jo's Scrap Shack DT. This week's challenge is, "Anything Goes".

 

I had the super cute, "Winter Bingo" from The Cutting Café to work with. With so many cute digis to choose from, I decided to use as many as I could to create some, "Winter Note Cards". I will be sending them to one of my pen pals for a Christmas gift.

 

 

 I used the large size pre-colored set to create my note cards. There are 10 different images so I made 10 different note cards.

 

Here are all 10 note cards.

 

They are all tucked into the gift box I made for them. I used one of the uncolored mini images for the tag.

Summer note cards

This cute file reminds me of camping under the stars:
 

 

You get 3 each of 4 different designs for a total of 12 hang tags. You can find this file here:Ewe-N-Me-Printables

 

 

 

After cutting out my hang tags I punched a hole in the top and added some twine then I layered my card bases with some burlap, added some jewels and I was done. Very fast and easy note cards which you can use yourself or give as a gift.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Spring Note Cards

Good morning, I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday. I have been playing with these super cute vintage postcards. Being a snail mailer I can always use some cute note cards and this file is perfect:

 

You can find this file here: Ewe-N-MePrintables Hang Tags - Song in Your Heart Postcards you get 4 total postcards on each sheet and you can print as many as you want to.

 

 

So, you may wonder, why are there only 3 rust note cards? Well, that was one of those funny, "WHAT did I just do things".......While I was cutting with my wavy blade in my paper trimmer, I managed to do the bottom cut on the fold side.

 

 

I was a bit more careful with my yellow note cards.

 

After doing the wavy edge cut I added ribbon, flowers and leaves plus a few jewels. These make great note cards for you or would make a very nice gift for any occasion and are very fast and easy to make.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Thanksgiving Place Cards & Autumn Note Cards

I have been having fun with more of Deena's Printables.
 
I started off with this Thanksgiving Collage file:
 

 

You get 6 images in 2 sizes for a total of 12images and you can print as many as you need.

 

 
It was very easy to make place cards for my Thanksgiving table.
 

 

I used some leftover letters to add my name, of course I could have picked a color that shows up better.



 

 

After cutting out the 6 large images I inked the edges then cut Kraft paper backings a little bigger than the images and layered them together.

 

For the bottom part I used a leftover place setting from my son's wedding as a pattern then added as I needed to make my images fit then I scored them down the middle and folded in half. I used double sided tape to attach the images to the I guess easel part and added some sequins for a little shine.

 

Next I made up some note cards using this file:

 

 

 

You get 3 each of 3 different images for a total of 9 images and you can print as many as you need.

 

 

Once again after cutting out the images I inked the edges. Then I cut the card bases which I decorated using a stencil and colored pencil for the little blocks on the top and bottom of the cards.

 

I cut Kraft paper and wrapped them with ribbon, attached to the card fronts then I layered the images on top with foam pads. I also chomped the corners.

 



 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

 

 



Note cards & Tic Tac Toe

Once again, I have two projects for today. The first one is a note card from this file:
 

 

 
This was so fast and easy to do, it wouldn't take very long at all to make up a set as a hostess gift as you are running out the door.

 

 



 After printing and cutting the note card and envelope out, I inked my edges then I added some leaves using a small leaf stamp from my stash, some shinny leaf  confetti and a piece of twine on the edge.

 

These would be useful for several different things, Thanksgiving dinner invitations, my favorite, tea party invitations, hostess gifts, actually a gift for any occasion.

 
Next I had more bottle cap fun, using up some more of these Fall Pockets bottle cap images from last month.
 

 

 

I wanted to make a Tic Tac Toe game that can go wherever you do. I left the outside a little bland. I started with a Silhouette file for the box, cutting the top, bottom and insert with my Cameo. I printed the, "Tic Tac Toe" with my Cricut.
 

 

I added the grid lines with my Cricut using Sure Cuts a Lot to trace a picture of the grid which I found online.

 



 

I cut the images out, inked the edges then adhered them to the inside of the bottle caps then I coated the entire inside of the caps with Glossy Accents. I made 5 scarecrow pieces and 5 cactus pieces. All of the pieces fit inside making it easier to find them and to take them along wherever you go.
 

12 Months of Note Cards

I couldn't decide if I wanted to make birthday or note cards, then I looked at my stack of correspondence that I SHOULD be answering I went with note cards using this very file: Altered Calendar Hang Tags  You get all 12 months in this file.

Since I am still learning how to use the eBrush I got with my Christmas gift card I wanted to incorporate it in the project so I pulled out the masks that I have had for a couple of years but never used before. I really like the rick rack/zig zag look so I started with that mask. I also decided to go with a newsprint paper because the rick rack on these are layered on to newsprint paper.

I laid the mask on my paper and held it into place using blue painter's tape (this stuff is GREAT!! I've had this roll for quite a while but never used it before). I find that the eBrush is very easy to use, changing colors is no big deal and I don't have the overspray that you get when you use the spray bottles, no more going outside in the wind trying to add a little color to my paper.

 

I really like the way I had a couple of different zig zag options to add a little extra to my note cards but I got tired of zig zags and used different masks on the remainder of the year.

 

 

I like the zig zag pattern the best then the diamond shaped mask, not real nuts about the circles, which do you prefer?

 

As you can see, I punched the hole at the top of the tag and added a matching piece of twine and a piece of twine up the folded side. On the zig zag patterned paper I also added a piece of matching paper that I ran through my Cuttlebug with a zig zig edge folder. I adhered the tags to the card using foam tape.
