Making your own vintage sheet music envelope


Hi!  Today I'm sharing how to whip up a gorgeous and simple custom envelope for even your lumpiest card.  I used a bunch of my favorite ingredients: Want2Scrap bling, Buttons Galore and More buttons and sheet music!  Check out how I did it: Making a sheet music envelope


This one of my favorite elements....it's what happens when Spellbinders, Nestabling, and My Favorite Things stamps and dies get together for a birthday party! 

I hope you can stop by Want2Scrap and check out all the details.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just Us Girls #132...Oh my lordy bees!


Oh goodness gracious!  It's time for a brand new Just Us Girls challenge!  This week Lisa challenges us to try the sponge a layer technique. 



Check it!  Me.  Queen of lumpy cards has a (OMG!) flat card this week!  Those ribbon banners are simply sponged on ink!  Woohoo!  I cut a ribbon banner using Spellbinders pennant banner nestibilities from cardstock and used the negative as a mask for inking up this card.  And seeing how this card and it's birthday wishes go out late to the recipient, I am rest assured that the delivery won't be held up by a lumpy embellishment that jams the envelope up in the postage cancellation machine at the post office! huh.  I could get used to this CAS stuff I think! 


Proof!  This card is FLAT, no bumps but still packs alot of visual punch, I think, with the gorgeous ink colors that have been swiped on.  Ready for a few more projects that will have you scrambling to your ink pads and applicators?

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll join us for this fun technique this week.

Just Us Girls #117...wild for FELT! and a lil chick beanie!

Hey peeps!  It's the final challenge of 2011 with Just Us Girls!  This week it's all about using felt on your project!  Don't you just love felt?  Memories from the earliest days of crafting are rich with felt festooned artwork.  It's fluffy, it's doesn't fray and it's meat and potatoes for lifetime crafters and beginners alike.  Wow!  Even I didn't know how much I loved felt 'til just now...lol.  So won't you pick up your felt scraps or cut into a new sheet and make something with us?



I used felt to make a tiny hangtag on this lil' chick beanie I made myself!  Woohoo!  I must admit I am pretty stoked about this project!  I am not a knitter or crochet-er of any kind but with the help of a Knifty Knitter I was able to take this little hat from conception to finished product.  Can I just say addictive??!  We actually have two new babies coming in the next few months to my extended family so I have a good excuse to make more!

Beanie love aside, the challenge is about FELT and I used this darling chick stamp from Endless Creatons Inc and black Staz on ink to stamp direct to craft felt.  A tiny snip of orange felt for the beak, black fabric paint for the eyes and stickles to add a little sparkle.  Spellbinders rectangle and scalloped rectangle nesties makes the foundation of the tag and a simple straight stitch border seals the deal on this tag. 


I wanted to make sure the recipient knows this is a one of a kind made just for them so i broke out a Stampin Up! stamp I've had for a while.

You know who else are one of a kind???? All of my treasured online friends (that's YOU, baby!) who make time in their day to stop by Paper Daydream.  It really means a lot to me to be wrapping up my third year of blogging having met so many wonderful people through the common bond of craft and creativity.  Thanks for sharing so selflessly with me over the years.  I can't wait to see what 2012 brings us!  But before we leave 2011 in our memory vaults, one last round with the talented girls from Just Us Girls!

    Just Us Girls #111 color challenge...building winter tags with buttons!


    Hey friends!  There is a new color challenge going on over at Just Us Girls this week.  Vicki is getting us in the Christmas spirit with a red, white and green challenge!  I love Christmas crafting so this is right up my alley....thanks Vicki!


    I decided to do a series of tags for this challenge and also incorporate BUTTONS to enter into the Buttons Galore and More challenge like I did over on my Christmas Cash envelope post.  The tag above has a favorite Waltzingmouse stamp on it plus a new love, candy cane striped pipe cleaner (!), a button festooned holly and an ol' standby...vintage sheet music (oops!  upside down)  Glitter and holiday striped yarn finish this tag off.

    For the Rudolph fans, a cute googly-eyed, red button nosed deer!


    The fab antler stamps are Inkadinkadoo!  One stamp for each side....just love the possibilities with these!


    And finally a Frosty built of buttons!  What snowman about town would be complete without a dapper top hat and fleece scarf?? 

    Notice how my middle button is a little mis-made on the bottom....but building a snowman with this button made the missing piece seem purposeful!  Frosty pops off a white embossed Waltzingmouse stamped label on red background layered onto a swiss dot embossed oval.  And more silver glitter and holiday yarn of course!


    Are you ready to get your red, white and green on?  Be sure and swing my the design teams blogs and leave these hard working creative gals some love!

    Plus our guest designer for the month of November, Kim O'Connell!

    I hope you'll join us for this fabulous week of color!  Feel free to grab the challenge graphic from above or over at the Just Us Girls blog to include in your post and we'll see you soon!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I love your company!

    Just Us Girls 110...technique week....it's beginning to look alot like Christmas


     I can't help it!  Even though it's not even mid-November, I am getting my Christmas groove on!  I'm humming carols, I'm lighting candy cane scented candles and seeing red and green wherever I look!  So, my card for this week's Just Us Girls "ghosting" challenge is, no surprise, Christmas themed...

    Check out this great tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers for details on how to ghosting.  Thanks to our lovely and talented LISA for challenging us with this fun technique!


    I used three strips of polka dotted clear stamps from Papertrey Ink to stamp my background with Versamark Ink.  I have a large clear block so I just lined them up side by side so I only had to stamp once for my dotty snow-inspired backdrop.  To fully dry the Versamark Ink I first hit it with the heat gun, then double-checked the dryness by pouncing a embossing buddy over the surface of the ink and heat gunning again.  Once I was sure that it was dry, I used a Adirondack Tim Holtz ink applicator with sponge to rub on light blue ink.  A soft towel wiped the surface free of stray embossing buddy powder and blue ink from the versamarked dots.  The glossy cardstock retains it's beautiful sheen even after all the inking.  I channeled my inner ANDREA and kept this card clean with just the addition of one juicy tree stamp and a bit of repurposed silver ribbon.  I love it!  And it's flat enough to mail without extra postage. double love it!

    Before you hop on board with this fun challenge, be sure and swing by the JUGs DT blogs:

    Small But Mighty with Want2Scrap


    Hi everyone! Today over at Want2Scrap I am talking a little bit about leftovers, card casserole, craft supply stew! ;) You know, the bits and pieces of pretty papers and embellishments we all have little piles of. Supplies too useful to get rid of. I thought I'd share a recent mini card making session I had using leftover papers and the smallest  Nestabling frames in three packages.


     I hope you can join me over at Want2Scrap today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

    What do you think?  Exciting, I know!!!  For my project today, I started with some amazing products from all three companies and a fabric gift card sack from Anthropologie!  The gift bag led the charge on color choices and theme. 


    I thought JustRite Stampers Spread your Wings cling set would be so cute against the floral design of the gift sack. I also used the Vintage Ovals Labels cling set to fill the background of my circle cut Nestabilities layered tag and the finishing touches were made with Want2Scrap™  Nestabling Petite Scalloped Circle Sm Gold Rhinestones and 72 Count - Sage Green Pearls - Self Adhesive.


    I helped myself to a handful of trims from my stash to make a fun and frilly tied topper for my tag.  Love me a little frill...don't you?
