Archives: Crafts of the Weeks

Originally Published on April 19, 2014 This past week I've been working on two crafting projects.  Here's a look at them.

Valentine's Day/Love and Mother's Day OSW sets: 

I grabbed this sketch from InkyPinkies and went to town cutting two 12x12 DSP sheets.  Once I got them cut, I started pairing pieces to card bases.  Unfortunately, I realized that the pieces cut would not make 12 complete cards.  I would have to add other DSP pieces or something else.  Obviously if you look at her examples, she used other paper pieces to complete the cards.  Oh well.  I just combined the paper to make 8 cards for each set.  Then, I cut some more DSP from full sheets to add layers and embellishments to make 12 cards for each set.  After making one complete set, I talked to my mom who requested I send a batch of Mother's Day cards for the shop.  So I actually made two Love sets and two Mother's Day sets.  Crazy crazy...  but they do look great.

Archives: Cards #32

Originally published on February 23rd, 2014

Not too much crafting this week.  But I did manage to finish my last two swap collections: Black + White and Scraps.  Next week, I need to get back to doing my weekly Project Life spreads and do my Stamp Club HW.

 

Shopping Scores: So much shopping this week!  I went a bit crazy, but I'm sure I'll rein myself in and not really buy anything for a few weeks.

We stopped at Joann's after the Meetup to possibly grab some Project Life supplies.  Well, the location we went to (Cupertino store) doesn't stock PL.  But they were having a huge President's Day sale still with 50% off stickers and embellishments and 40% off paper stacks.  Plus I had a mobile coupon for 15% my entire order (sale and regular priced items).  Score!  I got some adorable 6x6 stacks to make PL cards and maybe some greeting cards.

Also, my two Stampin' Up orders came.  Look at the huge stash!  It was my hostess month for club and I went a little crazy.  My extra large order plus everyone else's resulted in $80 hostess dollars!  Holy crap!  Here's my haul:
