My Guest Designer: Jeanne!

Hi, this Jeanne from Jeanne's Paper Crafts, I am so honored to be guest designing for Liz , while she is recovering from her surgery. I know she is getting anxious to get back into her craft room and start creating again. And we can't wait to see some new projects from her too! :) But until then, I hope you enjoy my project!
I saw this card on Pinterest, but I don't recall who created the original design, so I can't take credit for it. But once I saw it, I just had to make my own version, using those fabulous My Creative Time stamps!
Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft and White cardstock
Stampin' Up Pool Party cardstock
Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folders
My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings stamps and dies
Bazzill Paper Flowers

Liz has some exciting news to share with you, but not quite yet. However, in the meantime, while she's recovering, she is reading every comment! Not only is she reading them, she's counting them, because at the end of all this, she will have two announcements! The first will be a winner of some exciting BLOG CANDY! The second, it's a big one...and no, she's not coming out with stamps...you just have to wait and see!

Wow Jeanne!  I just love the clean simple lines of your card!!!  And YES Jeanne, I am missing crafting so much! 

RECOVERY UPDATE:  My recovery is slow, however I'm able to use my hand a little more each day.  Just don't have much strength in my arm yet...and I'm still not allowed to lift it up on my own...so doing my hair is a JOKE!!!  lol  :)

Enjoy!

My Guest Designer: Saundra!

Hi Everyone! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together! I am so thrilled be a guest designer for Liz as she is recovering from surgery.
With Easter a few days away, I wanted to make some cute little treat containers for my girls. I found the cutest SVG file from My Scrap Chick and just had to use it.


The designer paper is some that I have had for quite some time. I inked all the edges with Ranger Distress ink in Tea Dye. I used fun foam to pop all my layers. 

Here is a rear view. These layers were also popped with fun foam.
I would love for you to visit me at Luv Scrapping Together!
I wish you all a very blessed Easter holiday!

 
 
Oh my goodness Saundra, these are just wonderful, your girls are going to love them! Thank  you so much for filling in for me! 
 
I hope all of you have been enjoying all My Guest Designers!  I have to say not crafting has been much harded that I could've ever imagined!!!  I'm hoping to be back soon and when I do, I will have  some exciting news to share with you, but not quite yet.  However, in the meantime, while I'm recovering, I'm reading every comment!  Not only reading them, I'm, counting them.  Because at the end of all this, I will have two announcements! The first will be a winner of some exciting BLOG CANDY!  The second, it's a big one...and no, I'm not coming out with stamps...you just have to wait and see!

My Guest Designer: Sukie!

Hello everyone, this is Sukie from Scrappin Dhilly and I am honored to be a guest designer for Liz from Liz's Paper Loft during her time of recovery from her surgery.  Liz is a fabulous designer and has had amazing guest designers over the last few weeks.  I am hoping I can live up to the standard set by Liz and her guest designers. Please remember to leave her some bloggy love and happy thoughts as she recovers.  If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you know that I love creating layouts to memorialize anything and everything.  I decided to create this two page 12x12 layout for my project today.
For this layout I used three different cartridges.  The stack of money and the poker chips were cut from the Father's Day seasonal cartridge at 4.0 inches.  I used Indie Art for the suits cut at 2.5 inches and the tag cut at 4.0 inches.  Black Letter was used for the title which was cut at 2.0 inches.
The die cuts were all popped up on foam dots for added dimension against the patterned background.  I also used my white gel pen to add some doodling to the die cuts and the photo mats.
I created this fun tag using the Game Night stamp set from My Creative Time which just happens to be Emma's favorite stamp of the month.  I stamped the sentiment on the tag in black ink.  Next, I stamped the cards separately in red ink and cut them out and added them to the tag.  I finished off the tag by using some coordinating twine.
I would like to thank Liz for inviting me to be a guest designer and all of you for visiting and supporting my blog.

Didn't Sukie do a FABULOUS layout!  Thank you Sukie so much for being my guest designer!

My Guest Designer: Jenny!

Hi Everybody!
Jenny from Crazy About Cricut here, and I am SO SUPER EXCITED to be a guest designer for Liz, and help keep you guys from going through crafty withdrawals while her new bionic shoulder heals (ok, maybe not exactly a bionic shoulder....)!  Today I have a card using one of my favorite crafty supplies, clear craft plastic.  Here are the details:
*Create a Critter Cricut cartridge = panda and all layers
*My Creative Time = Game Night Stamp Set, I Believe in Leprechauns Stamp Set
*Timeless Twine = Olive Green
*clear craft plastic
*I love the dimension this plastic can give to a card!
*The secret to this kind of card is just to cut extra base layers.  That way you can cover any adhesive you need to use.
*I put an extra layer here, and the panda so that there is room to write a message on the inside.
*This is from the I Believe in Leprechauns Stamp Set.
*This is from the Game Night Stamp Set by My Creative Time.
What friend wouldn't feel "lucky" to get this card??  I'd like to thank you so much Liz for having me as a guest designer!!  But wait.....one more thing.....
