e·phem·er·a

ephemera plural : paper items (such as posters, broadsides, and tickets) that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles.

Got any ephemera lying around? If you've got some, use it on a project and share it with us for the Cupcake Inspirations Ephemera challege!

I have lots of "ephemera", but Taylormadecards4u.com happens to specialize in it and I LOVE these vintage images!

Using a card formula from Club Scrap, I created a set of standing box cards featuring the Retro Santa digital images as embellishments. (All available supplies will be listed at the end of this post.)

I used my Silhouette Cameo 3 to print and cut the digital images. This is so helpful when I have more than a few images that I want to "fussy cut" for my projects.

The Club Scrap card formulas can be utilized to cut and assemble a set of cards quickly. Once I had everything cut, scored, and sorted, the cards came together in less than an hour. Super easy!

The cards fold flat for mailing in an A2-sized envelope!

My dilemma was that I needed a quote to go with this "purr-fectly comfortable kitty" stamp image...

Ms. Kitty reminded me of Zsa Zsa Gabor's character, Lisa, from the TV series Green Acres, so I incorporated a fancy z-fold card design.

Of course, a kitty this fabulous leaves sparkle wherever SHE goes!

The new Cupcake Inspirations challenge is all about the shimmer!

One Sheet Purse!

Succulents are all the rage right now. I have them all over my house and in the window of my operatory at work. They are fascinating plants and so easy to grow...especially for someone like me who forgets to water them! 😂

Today's post is part of the Cupcake Inspirations theme challenge...deserts! I made a fun project using papers and stamps from Club Scrap's Succulents collection! (Links to all available supplies will be listed at the end of this post.)

I used this step by step tutorial from Club Scrap's blog and made a video tutorial of the process. Visit my Youtube channel for more crafty videos!

I'm all about making things easy and using Club Scrap's card and page formulas have become a part of my crafting routine. The cutting and assembly instructions along with the sketch not only makes paper crafting a piece of cake, but you have very little wasted paper and more time to enjoy the process. It makes card making and scrapbooking what it should be...fun.

Here's a closer look at my "one sheet purse" and cards!

Make something "suc-CUTE-lent" and share it with us HERE for a chance to win two digital images from Crafty Scrappers! I'll look for you in the gallery!

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Springtime is here! Easter is this weekend and Mother's Day is just around the corner. We have had lots of rain in Louisiana. April showers bring May flowers, right? Pecan trees like a long winters nap and are usually the last of the trees around here to produce spring buds. Well, the pecan trees are budding, so it's time to plant our spring garden. I'm ready for some home grown fresh vegetables! When we moved into our house 20 years ago, we planted some climbing roses in our front garden in memory of my grandfather - he always had a rose garden. My first rose of 2019 is blooming!

Taylormadecards4u just released My Mother's Garden and Mother's Roses digital kits. My Mother's Garden has some beautiful vintage backgrounds and cut aparts to decorate with.

Mother's Roses coordinates perfectly with the garden themed kit AND it contains layers for added interest and dimension!

I featured elements from both kits on a set of springtime/Mother's Day themed cards.

I printed the digital kits without resizing any elements and trimmed. I like working with a sketch and used instructions from one of the cards in Club Scrap's card making Idea Deck.

The decks are no longer available in printed form, but Club Scrap now offers two digital formats that include thirteen card making formulas each with cutting instructions. (All available supplies will be listed at the end of this post.)

Card 1. Layered Roses

The layered roses are a cinch to trim with detail scissors. I also like to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut elements for cards, but I fussy cut the layers this time. A little foam tape and they make a beautiful focal image!

Card 2. May 2019

I trimmed elements using the measurements on the Idea Deck card and layered onto the card base. I inked the edges of the panels with Club Scrap Earth ink and a finger dauber, added some green pearls and Diamond Stickles for a little sparkle on the flowers.

Card 3. Birdie Darling

I just love the vintage images on this card. The background panels are just beautiful and I love the mother and child cut apart on the upper left. I trimmed the sentiment from one of the tags. I adore that sweet term of endearment! Some green pearl gems were added for interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the Taylormadecards4u blog for more Mother's Day inspiration from the design team!

Wise words from my youngest son on his 21st birthday last week...

Chris (Dad) : So Jake, what have you learned in your 21 years on earth?
Jake: (Without missing a beat)
1. Listen more and talk less.
2. You can learn something from everyone, no matter how old they are, even children.
3. Greet everyone with an open heart.
4. Family is the most important thing. Spend time with the people you love.
That’s my boy. ❤️

I did not decorate for Christmas this year. *GASP!* I can think of a thousand excuses for why not, but the truth is I just didn't want to. The decorations are in the attic, we have all been super busy this holiday and I'm just plain tired. I'm not being a "grinch". I'm choosing to focus on the important things, spending quality time with my family (and getting messy in my craft room). THAT'S what make me happy!

I'm excited to share that I'm on a brand new design team created by Monica Taylor at Taylormadecards4u. She recently started creating digital images and kits for her Etsy shop and needed help sharing projects and inspiration for her items. Her vintage/retro images appeal to my eclectic side! Her Valentine card designs, vintage order forms and journal cards (and those Santa images!) bring back some fun memories. They remind me of the bits of ephemera I would find at my grandparents' house tucked away in dresser drawers, albums and books. She will be releasing new kits and images each month, so be sure to check out her shop.

So, without further ado, here's my design team post featuring elements from the Santa Passport kit!

I used a card formula by Club Scrap to create a booklet card. Then I printed the Santa Passport digital images on white card stock and trimmed to use as decorative elements. It was such an easy project to create with materials I already had on hand. (Links to supplies used at the end of this post)
