Studio Calico November Kit Cards

Hello everyone! It's December again! Oh my time flies! Here are my last projects for the month using Studio Calico's November kits: Sock Hop and Bobby Sock.

First I have a simple Thank You 6" x 6" card combining kraft and blue with a touch of soft pink, all from main kit Sock Hop. Flowers were cut using Sizzix Eclips.

 Next I have a more cheerful project; a Birthday 6" x 6" card using add-on kit Bobby Socks. The flag lines were manually cut, layered and adhered with foam dots.

Scrappin Studio's Project with Studio Calico's November Kit

Hello crafty people! I'm back again and I have two new projects to share. I'm thrilled with this month's kits as the colors are so fresh and bright and I just love the little clear stamps and fun brads! Can't wait to use them all! :)

On to my projects... I'm starting with Bobby Socks, November's #1 add on kit. Get the kit here :)

First is a fresh and simple birthday card, love how the patterns in the kit complement each other so well, and that red tag is just delicious :)

Fresh and cherry?

(Cardstock, stamp, seam binding and twine not from kit)

This kit came with a pack of awesome fun brads too!

 

For the second project, I used the remaining papers to create a shabby card. I love being able to create different themes from the same papers. Here I altered a Tim Holtz tag using the leftover papers from the card.

Love the background paper - October Afternoon's Ring Toss from the kit and Heidi Swapp Black and White Alpha (cardstock, lace, brads, pearls and fabric rose not from kit).

Sizzix roses from kit paper.

Punched doily circle of kit paper using Martha Stewart punch.

That's my first post for Studio Calico's Bobby Socks... I have more to come... now I'll be off for a mini vacation with the hubs next week so you'll only hear from me next weekend. I need to find myself some fresh new inspiration and perhaps some travel photos for a layout or mini album, stay tuned ;)

Thanks for dropping by! Have a great weekend everyone!

Sketchy Thursday 8.4 Sketch: New Toy!

Here's my first participation on Sketchy Thursday. I'm scrapping some pictures of my boy on his new walker. These were taken back in May when he was about 8 months old.

Here's my layout:

Look how happy he is with the new walker! I'm using mainly Studio Calico's June Paper Moon Kit.

The inspirational sketch.

Finally got to make use of this hand-stitched tag which came with the SC kit. Was saving it like forever.

I got myself a new stash of buttons... comes in handy for those fun boyish layouts where I can't go crazy with butterflies and flowers.

The journaling didn't quite come out quite right due to the over-enthusuastic orange paint! Anyway it says: "ENJOY yourself and have FUN on this lovely DAY on your brand new walker!" Metal plates are American Craft's Elements. 

Thanks for visiting My Scrapspiration! Do leave a comment so I can hop over to your blog too :)

Have a lovely week ahead!

My First Studio Calico Layout!

I was so excited to get Studio Calico's Paper Moon kit yesterday from Scrappin Studio, it's the first time I'm actually buying an actual coordinated kit and I must say it's so fun! It saves you the hassle of thinking how and where to get embellishments and papers that matches.

Here's what's in the kit, amazing right?

Image from Studio Calico.

I just could not wait to use that perforated rocket data paper, so cute! Here's my layout...

This was a quick and easy LO, however, apologies the photos are not very good as they are from my phone camera but I thought he looked as though he was strapped up in a rocket launcher! Haha.

Almost everything is from the kit including the crescent moon stamp and yellow pebble buttons. Exception are; the red cardstock and black alphas are from my stash. The stars are inked unto the page using a mask made from a mini star punch (bought at MPH). As for the rest of the materials:

• Mist: Studio Calico Warm Calico
• TH Distress Ink Pads Stormy Blue and Pumice Stone

The red and the Blast Off was inspired by one of Lucas favorite cartoons: Little Einsteins!

That's all for now .... Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
