Happy Father's Day from WorldWin!

Hello! I have made a card for all the dads out there! I hope you all have an amazing Father's Day on Sunday!

I was able to get my hands on the ColorMates Smooth and Silky Assortment Packs! Yes, that is 75 sheets of yummy colors! I used White and Bark from the Neutral/Earth Tone assortment, Apple Red from the Warm assortment, and Military Green from the Cool assortment for my card. 

Here's how to make a card of your own!

1. Start by creating a 5 x 5 inch card base from Smooth and Silky Bark cardstock. 

2. Trim Apple Red cardstock to 4 7/8 x 4 7/8 inches and emboss with a gear pattern embossing folder. 

3. Rub gray ink over the top of the embossed areas.  

4. Wrap a torn strip of natural-colored linen around the top of the red cardstock and tie a knot on the right side. 

5. Attach the embossed cardstock to the card front.

6. Trim a banner, approximately 4 3/4 x 2 1/8 inches, from Military Green cardstock.

7. Trim a second banner, slightly smaller, from striped paper. Glue the banners together and attach them to the left side of the card, placing the banner over the strip of linen. 

8. Trim a banner, approximately 4 5/8 x 2 1/8 inches, from Bark cardstock.

9. Trim a second banner, slightly smaller, from text paper. Glue the banners together and attach them to the card just to the left of the linen knot, overlapping the first banner.

10. Place some double-sided tape onto the text banner, approximately 3-inches from the top of the card. Place natural and red twine, in a circular pattern, over the tape.

11. Stamp an image onto White cardstock and color as desired. Trim the image, edge with tan ink, and mat with Military Green cardstock.

12. Using foam tape, place the image over the twine as shown.

13. To decorate the inside of the card, trim two pieces of White cardstock to 4 7/8 x 4 7/8 inches. Edge with tan ink.

14. Place one piece of White cardstocok onto the top of the inside of the card.

15. Create a gift card pocket by trimming Apple Red cardstock with a gift card pocket die template. Emboss the pocket with a gear pattern embossing folder. 

16. Rub gray ink over the top of the embossed areas.  

17. Trim a piece of text paper to line the inside of the gift card pocket. Assemble the pocket.

18. Wrap the pocket with twine and attach it to the center of the card panel.

 19. On the second piece of White cardstocok, stamp a sentiment and a coordinating image with brown ink as shown.

20. Place the stamped cardstock onto the bottom of the inside of the card.

21. Fill the gift card pocket and give the card to the guy in your life!

Hello Card with Colormates Original and Smooth and Silky

Hey WorldWin peeps!  It's Katrina on the blog today with a fun hello card made with lots of the Colormates cardstock.

I LOVE bright colors in my crafting projects and WorldWin has some wonderful colors out there.  And right now, I am loving the look of black with those bright colors.  It's definitely a trend right now.

I used four colors of the Colormates for my card:  Heritage White, Heritage Black, Citron, and Deep Pretty Pink.  I based my color choices on some of colors in the piece of pattern paper, to make them pop.

I love the way the Colormates (and all the WorldWin products) die cut in my Silhouette Cameo.  I used files for the bow, doily and "hello".  

Look at the detail and how well that Heritage White Colormates cut.  I also ran the pieces of the bow thru my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder, just to give some texture to it.

Hope you enjoyed my card today.  Let us know what you would like to see here on the blog!

WorldWin is Sponsoring.....

Hello everyone! WorldWin Papers is sponsoring the challenge over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog this week! Come on over and see what the Hoarders Design Team made with the WorldWin papers! Enter to win an amazing WorldWin prize pack!

Here is my project!

I used WorldWin cardstock to create a box and a mini album!

For a tutorial on making the box, visit my blog, Scraps of Life.

Using WorldWin Papers in Construction...

In the construction of mini albums, that is! Here on the WorldWIn blog, we usually share with you how pretty the papers are, and we show you what amazing things you can make where the papers are the "star of the show."

Today, I want to show you how amazing WorldWin products are BEHIND THE SCENES!

I used WorldWin Chipboard and Cardstock as the foundation for this mini album. Graphic 45 is a design team sponsor, so I also use the Graphic 45 Good Ol' Sport paper collection.

I am a huge fan of the WorldWin Chipboard and use it for a lot of different things. It is very sturdy and easy to work with. 

Here is a little video tutorial to show you how to create the actual base of the album.

I used a combination of the chipboard and two weights of black cardstock: Smooth Black which is 95# weight and ColorMates Heritage Black which is 65# weight. 

For this sporty mini, I used almost a full 12 x 12 pad of the Graphic 45 Good Ol' Sport papers, plus I added in some of the G45 retired collections that seemed to "match." 

This mini is 5 x 7 x 2 inches. It is a fun size, and jam packed with pocket and flaps!

Here is a peeky at what the album looks like opened up. You can see it is chock full of goodness! The WorldWin cardstock is very nice weight to work with, and stands up to the "abuse" of a mini album. 

Each page is simply cardstock, layered together. As they say, I don't make anything without WorldWin cardstock! I think I may have used up a whole pack with this project! {wink}

Here is another video to give you a look at each page of the mini. You can see every pocket and flap.

Thank you, Graphic 45, for sponsoring the WorldWin Papers team! We appreciate you!

Recycled Photo Box & Flower Tutorial

If you're like me you have a stack of photos waiting to be scrapped that you've already printed. If you want a neat place to store them and keep them on your desk I have a recycled box idea. I started with the box that my 4x6 photo paper came in. It was a black and blue HP box. It even fastens on the bottom. This is how it turned out.

  "

 I covered the box with pieces of patterned paper from the Graphic45 "Mother Goose" collection. Then I added some blooms and leaves that I made with WorldWin DoubleMates cardstock.

Here is a close-up of the detail and part of the blooms. I added some chipboard and cardstock accents from the collection as well. And a little bow! I added glitter glue around the edges to give a more finished look.

I also added some little tendrils of green cardstock that I curled for added detail. The leaves I just cut from WorldWin (outdoorsy olive) cardstock and inked for detail.

For the blooms I used WorldWin DoubleMates (orange dream) cardstock. I started by drawing 4 circles, 2 smaller than the other.

  I then cut them out with decorative edge scissors, these are the ones that I used.

 Here is what they looked like.

Then cut small slits into each one, I cut four in the larger and three in the smaller ones.

Then ink the edges and the center as shown below. You will mist with water, so the color will blend and not look so harsh.

Mist with water and fold into centers and twist slightly, they will look like these.

After they dry thoroughly just gently unfold and shape them until you like the way they look.

Then layer them together and you're done!!! Really simple but cute little blooms!!! They look like a carnation to me!!! They will have a different look depending on the type scissors that you use!!!

I hope you liked the blooms, and the box is just an easy project to store some photos and keep them from getting dusty or bent while on your desk. Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Make Today Special!

Hello, and Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there! And to everyone else, just Happy Day!!!! I made a card to share using some Petallics.

I used the Petallics in Wine Cup for the mat, and Autumn Hay for the card base and banner strip. All of the patterned paper and embellies are from the 3Birds Studio, Graceful Season collection.

I added a little twine that matched as well. The Petallics paper embossed beautifully, I used a folder from Couture Creations called Exotic! The patterns just show so crisp on this gorgeous paper!

My wish for today is that all Mother's get to spend the day with their children and family, and if they are too far away I hope they talk to them and for the ones who are already gone I hope today is a day to have happy and precious memories of the women in your lives!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
