Shake Me | Cards with Citrus Twist Scrapbook Kit


I created two shaker cards with the October Scrapbook Kit Good Vibes from Citrus Twist Kits. To make the shaker cards, you'll need patterned paper, embellishments and frames from the Turn the Page Collection that came with the kit. Furthermore, you'll need transparency foil, glue, some sequins and confetti from your stash. And here is my shaker card inspiration for you. You can find out more on the Citrus Twist Kits Blog. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, yours Sandra.


Interactive cards are a joy to be received. And it's even more fun to make them. Let's do it.

Magnet Studio Maggie Holmes


I had so much fun creating with the brand new Magnet Studio from Maggie Holmes. You can see three projects I created with this line on the Crate Paper Blog. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good day, yours Sandra.


Kreative Freude mit magnetischen Boards von Maggie Holmes


Habt ihr schon die neueste Kollektion von Maggie Holmes entdeckt? Dabei handelt es sich um weiße gerahmte magnetische Tafeln, die nach den eigenen Vorstellungen gestaltet werden können. Wer es lieber etwas dunkler mag, der kann die Rückseite schmücken, denn diese ist schwarz. Die Kollektion bietet zahlreiche Materialien zur Schmückung, darunter goldfarbene Clips, süße Magnetsticker mit verschiedenen Motiven und in verschiedenen Formen, Buchstaben in schwarz, weiß und gold, ein wiederbeschreibbares Kalendarium und viele weitere Extras. Auf dem Blog von Crate Paper zeige ich euch Ideen, wie die Boards verwendet werden können. Schaut gern vorbei. Ich würde mich freuen :). Liebe Grüße von eurer Sandra. 


















Altenew Crafty Friends Blog Hop + Giveaway | Mini Album & Video




Welcome


... to our crafty friends blog hop. You might have come here from Create & Craft TV. Now it's my turn to inspire you with a cute accordion fold mini album. Why you should hop along: In addition to loads of inspiration, you can win awesome prizes when you participate in our blog hop. You will find more information about prizes and how to win further down on my blog. 




Accordion Fold Mini Album

Let's have a look at the accordion fold mini album I created for today's crafty friends blog hop. It is filled with memories of special moments.




Mini Album Unfolded

Let's unfold the accordion mini album. Amongst other creative things, you will find two pockets, a flap with a photo inside and some nice embellishments from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection.



Double Pages

When you open the accordion mini album, different sets of double pages will appear. I incorporated different interactive elements.  The flower on the left and the tag on the right side can be lifted.




I die-cut two windows with star and circle dies and backed them with transparency foil. I added confetti, sequins, a fuzzy-cut star and a die-cut word underneath the foil. I made a card with a square cut-out window back in March 2014 (click). Just to show you that you can use different forms and shapes to create see-through windows.

You can use different shapes to make cut-out windows. It's a fun effect. Stars, circles, rectangles, flowers, leaves... Whatever you like. There are many possibilities. Let's do it :).



And I added a pocket with flaps. It can be closed with white thread. I stamped onto the pocket with wonderful leaf stamps that can be layered for a nice effect (Layered Laurel Stamp Set). I used different shades of green (Crisp Dy Ink Green Fields) to stamp the leaves.




Mini Album Details

I would like to point out some more details of the mini album. There is a hidden pocket, some cut-out windows, stitched and stamped accents and cute little things like confetti and sequins you can discover.




I used different stamp sets from Altenew, including the Happy Dreams Stamp Set and the Halftone Stars Stamp Set. In addition, I used different dies, including the Halftone Circles Nesting Die Set, Signature Words Die, Script Words Die Set and the Ori Kami Die Set.
