Crafter's Companion Returning to HSN!

Sara Davies, of Crafter's Companion, will be back on HSN next week! Be sure to tune in on Wednesday, March 16th to see some amazing new products and inspiration!  She will be launching the release of the Spectrum Noir Aqua Blend Water Color Pencils - which you are going to love!  I created this fun gift box using them (along with other wonderful Crafter's Companion products!)

May All Your Dreams Come True

If you have a few minutes, then you have time to make your own special gift box. Doesn't this look like the perfect princess packaging?  And then, you don't even have to wrap the present.

For the box itself, I used a tutorial that I found online, here.  I did decide that the box was a little hard to close, until I trimmed the edges away to reduce bulkiness.

 I didn't want to use a patterned paper for this box, because I wanted the sentiment to be the star of the show, so instead, I embossed pink paper, and it made the box interesting without being overwhelming.

 To really make my die cut sentiment show up, I lined it with a cream cardstock.

Bonjour!

Bonjour! Well, the Christmas cards are all finished, so I thought I would start sharing more non-holiday cards with you.  This French 50's Cafe stamp set from Crafter's Companion was just begging to be colored with the Spectrum Aqua markers, so that was my starting point.  I created the background by using the debossed side of the embossing folder.  I finished the scene out with some adorable die-cuts.

Supplies:

Spectrum Aqua: Scarlett, Begonia, Peacock Blue, Sea Green, Sunflower, Sepia, Kingfisher, Terracotta

Thinking of You With Crafter's Companion

  I thought it was time to take a break from Christmas cards and make a bright and cheerful flower card! I still managed to use a holiday embossing folder and greenery from the poinsettia die, but this just goes to show that you can be creative with your season supplies and get more use out of them.

 The beautiful new additions to Die'sires Edge'ables collection are available today (and you can click here to see the specials!) I love this Doily Lattice die - it is such a pretty and sweet die that will work on so many projects. Did you notice how the flowers are dimensional as part of the die design? So cool!  I made a bit of a fancy fold card - and made a Z-fold pocket on the front of the card (perfect place to hide a bookmark or secret message).

Coming this week from Crafter's Companion...Fancy Edge'Ables Dies

You can never have enough dies! And later this week, Crafter's Companion will launch the release of the Fancy Edge'Ables to their extremely popular line of edge cutting dies.  I cut two sides of the pink panel paper on this joy-fold card.  The detail is so crisp and beautiful.  Did you notice that the little flowers are part of the design? By just pushing the petals forward, you have a dimensional flower on your project in seconds!

New Release at Crafter's Companion!

It's always so much fun when Crafter's Companion has a new release - and this one is no exception. They have added 6 new dies to the Die'sires Create-A-Card Collection - each one featuring  a sentiment and background design.  I used the Friend die and created a cross between a fancy fold card and a mini album.  When you untie the ribbon, you open the card as well as the inner folder, where I've added a photo mat. This would be such a great way to remember a fun event with friends.

Be sure to go look at the rest of the dies in the collection, and watch Facebook for more inspiration from the design team
