Nashville CMA Inspired Mixed Media Tag

Hey guys, you all should know I am around Nashville, Tennessee- today and this week is HUGE in our neck of the woods with the CMA's arriving and of course Bonnaroo as well. 

I actually used my Creating Made Easy May Kit to create this tag, nearly everything on the tag was from the May Kit.

I covered the Chipboard Tag Album Page using the Creating Made Easy May Kit patterned paper (PhotoPlay) then took the Guitar Chipboard Embellishment (also included in the kit) and sprayed it with adhesive and coated it in GOLD glitter!

I used the 6" Butterfly Teardrop Stencil to create the glittered butterfly in the upper corner.

All the other papers were in the kit, I only added the stencil, ribbon, glitter and stars!

Happy CMA's Nashville! And happy crafting all the friends. 

Firework Rocket Shaker Card!

Hey there friends, I cannot believe it is already almost

July and half the year is over!

I had so much fun creating with this Creating Made Easy June Kit. 

I used the Card Mini Album and trimmed it out to create this glitter shaker card. 

This kit was a fun time, grab yours!

Happy Hump Day friends!!!!!

Mini Layout and 80's Style Card

Hey there friends, its officially Tuesday pretty sure I am ready for Friday! ha

I will point out my mistake here...

I have a mini layout to share today, I love making 6X6 mini pages. 

I used the newest Avocado Arts stamp set paired with Clear Scraps Mascils.

I used Modeling paste then glitter, but I waited too long for the glitter, next time

I will do it right away, but I forgot where I put the blue glitter LOL

For the card I was going for a Miami Vice/80's vibe so I used black ink

then a bright embossing powder. 

Just had some fun with it all. :)

Happy Tuesday friends!

Set Of Clear Handmade Christmas Cards

 Hey friends, it's FINALLY FRIDAY!

Hope your holiday season is good as it begins. Today I have a set of three

Christmas cards I created from the December Kit.

You know sometimes cards don't have to be layered and fancy to be 

simply beautiful. Sometimes have an acrylic front or something really

unique just makes it gorgeous from the start. 

There was acrylic in the December Kit so I cut it down and created these cards. 

 Each one has a different image from the Simple Stories line in the kit. 

 I added ribbon and glitter from my stash but the rest was the kit. 

Can't wait to give these out this year, if I get around to mailing!

Happy Friday friends.

Vintage Frame School Gift Idea

It's back to school and that means back to creating!

Our first day was Friday but before I share my creation I wanted to share my boys. 

 As many of you know I am divorcing and this is our first school year 

just the three of us...it's a good time and we are at peace. 

Ok on to my project....

I have a blog post on CutCardStock today that shares exactly how I created this 

cast acrylic (glass like) Clear Scraps Tri-Fold Frame. 

You can see the post here:

Announcement AND Stripey Card!

Hey there Peeps! I have 2 FABBY things to share today!

#1 Check out the Xyron post here:

http://aintshecrafty.blogspot.com/2014/02/congratulations-to-new-xyron-design-team.html

Super excited to be staying on with Xyron-

and #2 this FUN acrylic Send It Clear card I created for the 

Creating Made Easy Kit Club using the new kit AND

the Xyron High Tack Tapes! :)

You have to love the Teresa Collins papers in this kit and I peeled 

the protective film off of the heart and used tape and glitter to create the stripes. 

Such a fun project to create and after getting my exact knife 

out it was a cinch. Now before when I tried with scissors? 

Seriously FML- what a nightmare LOL

 I also traced the heart onto the back of this patterned paper and cut about 1/4"

bigger with scissors to create the heart inside. 

Seriously you have GOT to try these Send It Clear Cards! 

They are so amaze balls!

Check out the kit and definitely try them out.

I've Got A Crush On You...Xyron

Good morning friends, 

I am sad to say this is my last post for my DT term with Xyron and

what a wonderful term it was! :) For my last project I created a card

and a bookstand I turned into a home decor project. 

Let me share how I created these projects! 

Cut Crush On You card file using Silhouette Cameo or similar machine. 

This card is 6X6. 

Trim out Cardstock for the inside at 6X6. 

Run card stock through Xyron 9" Creative Station.

Rub and peel.

Place cardstock- ADHESIVE SIDE UP in card so the sticky parts 

show through to the front of the card. 

Sprinkle with glitter and shake off excess. 

Using Xyron High Tack Tape 1/2" place strip at bottom of the card

then apply a strip of vintage lace- press firmly. 

Take acrylic LOVE Expression peel off protective film from the front. 

Run LOVE through Xyron 9" Creative Station top side down. 

Rub, peel and remove. Coat adhesive side with glitter. 

Dust off excess. 

Trim out paper to fit bookstand- run through Xyron 9" Creative Station.

Adhere to center of bookstand. 

Apply Xyron High Tack Tape 1/2" at top and bottom or patterned paper. 

Layer on Dazzle ribbon. 

Cut apart LOVE Expression and use Xyron High Tack Tape 1/2" to adhere

it to the bookstand. Use Xyron Teresa Collins Adhesive Kit Pop Dots 

to pop up half the letters. 

Embellish using stickers and extra lace and Xyron High Tack Tape 1/2".

Now you have a great romantic home decor piece to use through Feb. 

And a very glitter Valentine Card! All of them made so easy with Xyron!
