Cards, Cards!


I made the simple card using the surplus paper and others.
The point of having taken care is not using many colors.
And I recommend use of an alphabet sticker.


Thank you for stopping!

"Customized" striped paper

I love the Urban Lily "Sugary" collection, but I always thought it could use a little "something. I decided to customize it a little by adding my own glitter!

I used some double sided sticky tape in different widths, then I sprinkled it with glitter in colors that complimented the existing stripes. The result is really cool...



Add some Prima flowers and some funky brads and you're done!

Unsuspecting Cards by Virginia

It is no secret that I love Urban Lily papers. I love the bold, vibrant and interesting designs. To me, this makes for versatility. Using the Lulu and Blackout papers, I created 2 birthday unorthodox birthday cards for two tween girls.

Here they are. They are simple in design to showcase the colour and details of the papers.



Supplies:  Urban Lily (pattern paper); Chatterbox (chipboard alphas); Tim Holtz (grungeboard); Tattered Angels (glimmer mist); Helmar 450 adhesive

And here is a girly girl card for a sweet 6 year old.


Supplies:  Urban Lily (pattern paper); Prima (bling alpha); Tattered Angels (glimmer mist); Copic Spica pen (outline butterfly); Maya Road (chipboard butterflies)

Thanks for letting me share!

Reuse Stamps "Packing material and Toilet roll core"

Hello again! I am Akiko.
The stamp aiming at reuse is introduced today also.
Today's layout uses a toilet roll core and a packing material.

 I attached acrylics paints to the toilet roll core, and used as a stamp.

It is the packing material usually used in Japan.
Interesting expression can be performed by using it as a stamp.

 Supplies:
Lola - Lulliloo Collection
Sugarhigh - Mooch Collection
Alphabet - Urban Cut Collection
Accents - Urban Cut Collection

I changed the toilet roll core and made it the heart type.
And I used it as a stamp. It is self-confident as that it is a wonderful idea.

These may become the somewhat ill-shaped heart. However, my it is darling:)

Supplies:
Smootch - Mooch Collection
Spark - Mooch Collection
Alphabet - Urban Cut Collection
Accents - Urban Cut Collection

Please use materials, such as corrugated paper, a packing material, and a toilet roll core,
for the purpose of reuse.
I recommend enjoying a stamp easily.

Thanks!!!
Akiko Kuroki
