February’s Kit “by the numbers”

By:      comment on this post

We’re excited to bring you By the Numbers, our whimsical and playful February kit, packed so full of numbers, we don’t want to try to figure out exactly how many are in there. What we do know is that we’ve mixed papers from My Mind’s Eye, Sassafras Lass (get it before it’s gone!), and Crate Paper. Combine those with embellishments from American Crafts, Elle’s Studio, our exclusive Cocoa Daisy stamp, as well as some Tim Holtz, Seven Gypsies, topped off with a bit more Sassafras for good measure, and this kit adds up to one fun collection you can count on for instant inspiration.

And some of the add-ons:

Dewey Decimal 

A nice neutral support kit featuring a whole package of just numbers from American Crafts, fun wooden buttons from Prima, die cut paper from Studio Calico, and some eclectic postcards and journaling spots make, finished off with a pop of teal Hambly rub ons.

Barcode

Pearls from KaiserCraft, a card wrapped with ribbon and twine from Crate Paper, and a bit more My Mind’s Eye make Barcode a cheerful addition to the main kit this month.

…Count the Ways

Our nod to Valentine’s Day, this add on has all you’ll need to make that special someone feel loved.  A whole pack of heart pins from Maya Road, papers and embellishments from Basic Grey, Pebbles, and Crate, we can’t wait to see what you do with this add on!

and finally our new

Embellishment Pack!

What fun embellishments we have for you this month: a Jenni Bowlin Vintage Number Card set, some alterable numbers, 2 yards of garland and more than enough Happy Days borders from My Mind’s Eye. It’s what you’ve been asking for, a kit of just embellishments!

Inspiration Tuesday

By:      comments (3)

I have been really inspired lately—by food, movies, design…it’s hard to corral it into one place that makes sense. Since this is my first post, I’ll show you a little inspiration of one of my most favorite things: design. Design inspires me via colors, patterns and typography, and thanks to the internet, there is no shortage of great design to check out.

 

 

I’m totally in love with the letterpressed background and type in this business card! I love the teal + orange combo and all of the white space the design allows.

 

 

Logo design is one area that I’ve had the least practice in, but seeing this panel of prospective logos makes me happy! It’s funny how many designs you can make out of just a few words.

 

 

I love the rainbow effect of this print, not to mention the wisdom its words hold. I also love that the designer chose to use colors other than your run-of-the-mill ROYGBIV combo.

 

 

Everything about this invite makes me swoon. Yellow! Grey! Banners! Scripts! It’s simply gorgeous.

 

 

And last but not least, a few throwback product labels. The oranges, reds and teals compliment each other nicely, and I love the typography and distressed look.

Hope some of these have inspired you!

xoxo,
Stephanie

Old Book Christmas Tree.

By:      comments (4)

Anyone who knows me knows I adore old book paper and when my Mom showed me the tree she had made from an old book I asked her if she would make one for me. She made me a nice full one from an old book and I decorated it with wooden snowflakes (from the December kit Amber Snowflake), red pearls from Kaiser Craft, burlap ribbon, punched snowflakes and some wooden buttons. It came together quickly and I love how rustic and soft it looks.

Isn’t it sweet!

I can see this as the base for a pretty little angel too! You can find instructions on how to create the tree here.

Have a wonderful week!

Merry & Bright Punchable Circle Die Cuts.

By:      comments (3)

I created these circles last year and I love them! I like to use one on each page of my December album, creates unity through the whole album regardless of what patterned paper I use.

Christmas circle labels
This photo from last year’s album shows you how I used them in 3 different ways: as a tab along the top of a page, in my journaling and how I used a blank one with chipboard numbers.

There are two 8 1/2 x 11 pages with a complete set of numbers (1-25) as well as some blank ones so you can add your own numbers. They work well with a 1 5/8″ or a 1 3/4″ circle punch.

Just a little gift from Cocoa Daisy to help you get those Holiday memories preserved!

Best wishes,

Christine
