Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home!

Welcome!   Let's enjoy some out of the box papercrafting with this super home dΓ©cor piece, Home Sweet Home!  I love this, and think you will also!  πŸ’



I thoroughly enjoyed creating my Home Sweet Home project, and think you will also!  When you purchase the Kit, which I did, you'll find that it comes with 14 Wood Circles and  materials to create a wide variety of accent pieces, along with a Wood Frame with optional paper overlays, and of course, the Wood Home icon.  By adding the included Magnets to each, these delightful accents are interchangeable, so it’s easy to switch them throughout the year!  Woot! πŸ’–  


This is a great family project also!  

Here are just a few examples of some of the accent pieces I created to rest in the center of the 'O' for my HOME frame. I've usesd Foam Tape on quite a few of them for added dimension.  

I love this delightful spring floral cluster.  It is quickly created with die cuts and your favorite adhesive!  After creating your flowers, arrange in any manner you'd like!  A design tip is to begin with your largest feature, and build around it as you'd like!  



With multiple layers, our Heart/Valentine accent shows off the sparkling Silver Glitter Paper. Sweet! 



How about this beautiful filigreed pumpkin! Love it!  


Just a couple more!  πŸ’– This delightful firecracker is ready for all of your patriotic get-togethers! As one of our Founding Fathers, John Adams, said after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 'I see fireworks!...'πŸ’–


This then leads me to thinking about summertime watermelon!  How cute is this!?!


Then, again, although it's spring and daffodils, crocus, hyacinths, etc. are in bloom, the possibility of snow is still around!  Check out this snowflake!  Love it!  The perfect mix of White Daisy and Silver Glitter Paper. Hopefully it won't be displayed until until winter rolls back around! 



Oh, how I love the sparkling bling on the multi-layered snowflake!  



This is such a delightful project!  You can purchase as a Kit, create as shown in the Illustrated Guide, included with your purchase, or personalize with your own alterations, as I typically do!  In addition to this fabulous Kit, individual components are also available for you to design your own!  Purchase an additional set of the Wood Circles With Magnets to create even more options! πŸ’–  

With the magnetized decorated accents, and center of the O in HOME, it’s easier than ever to update your frame whenever you want!  Sweet!

You will NEED to have Liquid Glass to adhere the sides of the Wooden Frame together with back, the Wooden HOME piece, and the Magnets.  Additional adhesives I used include Tombow/Tape Runner Adhesive, and Foam Tape and/or Dots.   You may prefer Glue Dots or Tombow Liquid Glue to the Tape Runner.  πŸ˜‰

 Of course, if you have any questions while you are creating this, don't hesitate to ask!  Here's the link to order, and have shipped directly to you.  While there, don't forget the adhesive and Liquid Glass!

Jingle Joy Meets Warmest Wishes!

Let's create some super fun flamingo Christmas themed cards!



Hello and Welcome to my Papercrafting With Gayle Blog!  The Jingle Joy Creative Collection offers so many possibilities!  Woo! Hoo!  I absolutely love how versatile our creative collections are!

For today's cards, I paired papers from Jingle Joy and coordinating Cardstocks, together with the Warmest Wishes Stamp and Thin Cut Set.  Talk about cute!  


Although I live no where near a warm sunny beach, or a cold one for that matter, (since my kids always said our creek out back doesn't count), I absolutely love a beautiful beach!  This stamp set includes a snow-globe stamp and thin cut along with an adorable flamingo, palm tree, icons and sentiments.  Sweet!  Think of the possibilities with that snow-globe!  Swoon!




Along with all of the beautiful Jingle Joy papers, PML Cards, stickers, die cut tags, embellishments, and Cricut icons, Jingle Joy has TWO exclusive Stamp and Thin Cut Sets!  It delights my heart that, even though one is designated as a stamp set for cards, and one for scrapbooking, I easily mixed and matched them for BOTH scrapbooking and cardmaking!  Woot!  



Here's the Scrapbooking Stamp/Thin Cut Set for Jingle Joy 

and for the Cards.  


And, to top off all of this Jingle Joy fun, here's an awesome 6 x 6 Album Kit ready for you to assemble for yourself and/or give as a gift.  πŸ’

Since my last visit, we've started our brand new VIP Program!  This is an awesome deal for anyone who scrapbooks or simply creates with papers and stamps!  Woo Hoo!  As a VIP, YOU are rewarded on each of YOUR purchases, earning credits, that do NOT expire as long as your VIP status is current, that can then be used on the majority of items available at PapercraftingWithGayle.ctmh.com!

Happiest Place Fun!

Let's Create With the Happiest Place Collection!


Welcome! I pray you and yours are well!  With cooperative summer weather, there are lots of outdoor projects in the works here!  Yet, with that being said, it's high time for some papercrafting fun with the awesome Happiest Place collection! 

My "Enjoy the Ride" was super fun to create!  Now, be honest, what was your first thought of my layout featuring a roller coaster?  It may be what my immediate thought was, to add amusement park or County/State Fair pics.  But, seriously, pics from this ongoing super strange 2020 Corona Life has certainly taken many of us for a ride!  Just think of all the twists and turns our lives have taken!  What do you think? It would then certainly be a fun layout to (hopefully) laugh about in the future!  πŸ˜€


I absolutely love the wonderful and delightful Happiest Place collection!  It is chock full of beautiful papers, white core cardstock with foil designs that appear holographic when turned in the light,  stamps, thin cuts, acrylic shapes, and SVG Images and Titles! Wow!   


The color palette is delightful! It includes a beautiful, cheerful array of Candy Apple, Glacier, Lemonade, Black, White Daisy and Silver Foil.  Sweet!  

But that's not all, this Happiest Place collection even includes a stand alone scrapbook kit with all of the base pages, stickers and die cuts, pre-cut paper pieces, photo placeholders, printed instructions, Flip Flaps, and in the Bundle, even the Memory Protectors!  Everything you need to quickly complete 16 pages!!! Woot!  


You are able to quickly create an entire album with these 16 -- 8 1/2 x 11 pages included with this Cut Above Kit. Yet, for my "Magic" page, I wanted to convert it into a 12 x 12 page for an album I was working on.  
 
For my re-configured page, I cut the base page into strips, dovetailed them, and embellished with some of the included stickers and die cuts.  Easy peasy!  


Here's a sample, directly from the instruction sheet, of the original 8 1/2 x 11 page.  To create this, you simply add your photo and the included embellishments to create! 

Here's a quick look at some of the Happiest Place SVG collection.  


Along with these Happiest Place SVG Images, you can also snag this collection of Title SVG images.  Cut these images in whatever size or medium.  Whether you use with papers and/or vinyl, the versatility is awesome -- use for scrapbooking, cards, shirts, album fronts, etc.  Woot!  


Along with my purchase of the SVG Images and Titles, I definitely went with the Happiest Place Bundle to receive a 20% discount! 
 

Woot!  Look at all the goodies that are included in the discounted Bundle!  


You all know all things papercrafting, so of course, I created cards! Here's just a couple of them. 


This adorable balloon "Dream" card is created using the Happiest Place Stamp & Thin Cut set.  
After cutting my balloon, I used Archival Black, Candy Apple and Lemonade inks to liven it up, and scattered Lemonade stars all about!  

Remember my comment about the roller coaster and this year, well, here's one of my card renditions!  LOL!  


So fun to create!  I used the super handy Rectangle Thin Cuts with Bluebird and White Daisy cardstock, Happiest Place Stickers, Erin's Hand Alphabet stamps, Versa Mark Ink with Silver Embossing Powder, and Silver Stickles.  

Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up:

Summer Vibes Cards & More!

Bright & Cheerful Summer Vibes Cards!  



Welcome!  I'm so glad you have stopped by!  We are well into summer, and this Summer Vibes Creative Suite has my creative juices flowing!  


Today we'll look at a few of the fun cards I created using the delightful Summer Vibes Papers, Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts.    This stamp set is also available on its own, without the Thin Cuts, if you prefer.    

These adorable stamped images come to 'life' when colored with Watercolor Pencils.  Make them glisten with a touch of your Shimmer Brush.  My go-to ink, when using my Shimmer Brush with my Watercolor Pencils, and/or Tri-Blend Markers, is the Archival Black Ink.  This ink is waterproof, light-fast, fade-proof, archival safe, and deepest black.  πŸ’ 

When using Thin Cuts, I am often asked whether they should stamp or cut first.  Typically, I will cut multiple Thin Cut images first, and then stamp them.  My recommendation is to try both ways, and see which way suits YOU.  Quick Tip -- If you do stamp first, you may wish to use a bit of washi tape or painter's tape to hold things in place, so your die doesn't accidentally slip and cut away a portion of your stamped image.  😊

When creating my two Summer Vibes --Sending Sunshine cards, I wanted to have my sentiment in the center of the sun pop.  To achieve the two toned sun on each, I stamped the sunshine with Lemonade Ink.  Then, using a 1-inch circle, I previously cut, I stamped the image again with Candy Apple Red over a piece of scrap paper.  Then, using Foam Dots to give it a pop, I adhered it to the center of the sun.  

Along with the Summer Vibes Cardmaking Stamp Set, here's an adorable gatefold card, created with the Summer Vibes Cardmaking Workshop Kit.   
Our Workshop Kits for cards and scrapbooking come with easy to follow printed directions, including photos. Of course, you can use these as a springboard for your own creations as well!  πŸ’ 

How delightful is this stamped snow-cone?!? With our typically high summer temps, this would be a most welcome treat!  My fun little confetti surrounding the popped-up treat, are made with second generation stamping using Candy Apple Ink.   To achieve 'second' generation, simply ink your stamp, stamp on scrap paper, then your circle for your card.  Easy peasy. 😊 

To give my snow-cone a bit a sparkle, I colored it in with the Peach and Lemonade Shimmer Brushes.  

For my belly band, I used Candy Apple Cardstock.  Then for the snow-cone base, my trusty Shaker Window Thin Cuts set was up to the task. 

Just for fun, here's a couple more cards I created with components of the Summer Vibes Creative Collection!  😎
