Me and You Layout

Hi everyone, Kim here to share a new layout with you! I love using little journal cards and bits and pieces of paper to create my layouts. These little cards from the Victoria park and Handmade collections are just right for layering and creating a collage. They have some really great little designs on them as well. 

For this layout I chose to combine some of the cards with Green elements on them since green is a close runner up to being my favorite color! They are also a nice way to add a bit of a graphic element to your layout. 

Another element I wanted to add to my layout was a hand painted banner. I first cut my watercolor paper into different sized strips and then painted each one a different ombre shade of green to greenish blue and pink. I snipped the ends to create little banners and then sewed them together using ordinary sewing thread. 

I love the layered and messy effect of the sewn banner. To add a little more interest I backed a few of the banners with different pieces of patterned paper. 

This is a very simple way to create a layout with just a few elements. Thanks for stopping by today for a little inspiration! Have a great week everyone!

Banner borders...

Hi there, this is Danielle Flanders here with an idea for those banner stickers!

I loved the patterns in the cute Buttercup banner stickers, so I wanted to add them to a card. Small shapes are a great way to add many different patterns, colors and interest, and the triangles make it so easy because they are already cut out for you! I was inspired by how they came on the sticker sheet and transferred them right to the card just how they were on the sticker sheet.

A Victoria Park floral stamp was stamped in aqua ink on the top and bottom to frame out the sentiment and add some softness.

 Here is one more where I used the banner stickers horizontally to create a border.

I used the Buttercup stickers on these two cards also. A frame is cut in half and added it to the top and bottom of the "today is a good day" sticker.

This is a super quick and easy embellishment idea for a card/ layout. Thank you for visiting the blog today. Have a creative day!

Blog Hop Day 4...

Happy Thursday! I hope you have been enjoying our projects this week and seeing how we've been using our products with Epiphany Crafts and Glue Arts. The three are a super combination together!

I'm so excited to share with you more fabulous cards today from Danielle, Julia and Kim.

First up today Danielle Flanders. Danielle is the Queen of Cards and I just ADORE how she has taken our Index Journal Cards and created them into a Handmade Card .

I love the Epiphany Crafts Bubble Oval she's used to embellish our the floral stamp from our Victoria Park Collection onto side of the card.



Our ABC Stickers are perfect to spell out any size title or message you want to share on the outside or inside of your card.






Danielle's cards are a perfect example of how versatile our Index Journal Cards are to use and not just for journaling!



Kim has created her card using our Bag of Bits and Index Journal Cards. She adhered her "Bits" using the Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro, 3/8” Raisen’s Adhesive Squares AND U CUT IT 1/8” Foam Adhesive.

She also embellished the card with the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool & Accessories Bubble Caps Round 14.





Next up is Lisa Day using our Buttercup Collection.



Lisa used the Glue Arts Raisens on the back to really make her Bag of Bits Banner's pop!



And last but not least are Julia's two beautiful cards. Here she's used the Index Journal Cards as an embellishment on the outside of the card and adorned it with the Epiphany Crafts Accessory.



Our Bag of Bits make is a snap to make a card in no time at all.

Glue Arts & Epiphany Crafts Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of our Glue Arts & Epiphany Crafts Blog Hop. We've got some darling Card ideas for you today combining products from all three of our companies.

First, we have Summer's super clever idea using the Epiphany Crafts Round Metal Charm she has triple wrapped around the card for not only as an embellishment but unwrap and you have a birthday keepsake necklace. Who wouldn't love to get such a fun card?




Supplies Used:
Glue Arts:
Glue Glider Pro
3/8” Raisen’s Adhesive Squares
U CUT IT 1/8” Foam Adhesive

Epiphany Crafts:
Shape Studio Tool 25
Shape Studio Accessories Bubble Caps Round 25


Now onto Michi's Card and Envelope. Seriously drooling over this. She adhered her elements to her card using the Glue Arts GliderPro.


Then she used the Epiphany Crafts Metal Charms Double Square hanging off the side of the card. What a fun idea.


She also incorporated the Epiphany Crafts Circle Accessory onto the envelope. A nice way to dress up an ordinary envelope. And Glue Arts 3D Combo PAC was used to adhere the "today is a good day" sticker on the envelope to make it pop.



We've got a Glue Arts Giveaway for you. Leave us a comment here no later than Saturday, May 19th

Combining stamps with patterned papers...

Hello! This is Danielle here with my very first post for Lily Bee! I'm honored to be here and hope to inspire you to try something new and exciting in your paper crafting.

When I first starting working withing with the new Lily Bee lines, I was so amazed at how well the lines mixed together! I love to stamp also, so I pulled out the Victoria Park stamp set and got to work stamping the frame with black ink on different patterns of the 6x6 paper pads.

First, I made this card:

I stamped the frame onto a gray polka dot paper from the Buttercup line and cut it out, then stamped the little florals on either side of the frame. I immediately grabbed this teal floral sticker, because I loved the colors on it, and paired it with some of the banner shapes! The black banner really helps the smaller patterns stand out and grounds the design. It gives the design some "weight".

After this card was finished, I wanted to make a coordinating card focusing more on the stamped frames, so I stamped like crazy on different patterned papers and began rearranging them on white cardstock until I was pleased with the design.

Some of my favorite patterns are the checks and florals from Double Dutch and Buttercup.

I love girly floral patterns, yet I also love somewhat of a clean look to my work, so pairing these patterns with bright white cardstock makes them really stand out and allows the patterns to be the focal point of the card! Don't be afraid to try stamping onto patterned paper rather than cardstock. I hope you enjoyed these ideas for card making today!
