Cameo Project

My dear Tiki Sistahs are going to Key West in June and sadly I can't join them. Sniff sniff. I will be there in spirit especially since I'm making them these handy dandy mini-books to take with them. Think Smash book only not nearly as big.

I found this tiki sign in the Silhouette store. It took me about an hour to figure out how to ungroup the image and separate all of the elements out. I set it up so I could cut all of the pieces out at once.

I used coasters for the front and back covers. Then I painted them and sprayed them with gold Glimmer Mist. I did add a trip title to the middle using a really cool font and my pink vinyl. I'll leave that part as a surprise just in case any of the other Tiki Sisahs decide to take a peek at the old blog.

I added some yellow liquid pearls in the center of the flowers to give it a little something extra. I'm thinking these could also make for cute mini-albums for any occasion!

April Card Kit

Here is the last card from the April card kit. I must say that I absolutely LOVE the washi tape that came in the kit.

I might try this same concept in different formations. At the time I made the card I wasn't aware she had a heart die-cut and put the flowers on it. I just sort of eyeballed my heart and I think it turned out great.

My May card kit should come in later this week. I can't wait to see what goodies I get this time and I'm certain there is another roll of red and white dot washi tape.

Washi madness!!!

It's been...two weeks since you looked at me and said you're sorry

Sorry for the Barenaked Ladies lyric. I can't believe I haven't posted in over two weeks but what can I say? Life has been busy between my birthday, Easter, and school/work/life.

I have been busy with cards too. I had an order for an assortment of sympathy cards. Here is what I came up with:

That last card was a pain to make but it just might be my favorite. :)
