Loving the Teresa Collins "Spring Fling" collection & March Newsletter for The Hens Den

As you know by now, I am loving this new line - SPRING FLING.

I love all of the patterns in this paper and dimensions.


Instructions:
Working from left to right:

• Cut a 3.5 strip from the small flowers and laying it over the left side of the Paisley paper.
• I added a 1/4 strip of white next to the large strip.
• Add the red dots scallop border sticker.
• Mat your photo, I double matted mine using white and red.
• Punch out Sweet moments, the green tag w/red flower from die cut card set and mat on white card stock and add bling to center of red flower on green tag.
• Punch out three flowers, butterfly and "Bloom" from the die cut card set add bling to the center of the flowers on the bloom tag.
• Layer your *flowers in the lowers left of photo and add bling to their centers, add the *"Sweet Moments" tag.
• Cut the pink and red strip 4 inches and mat onto white card stock.
• Layer your tag and stripped strip to upper right. 
• Overlap the *"Bloom" tag and *Butterfly.
• Slide the "girl" circle from sticker sheet just under the top left of photo.

*Use Therm O Web 3D foam squares on the large flower, "Sweet Moments", "Bloom" and Butterfly.

Spring Fling Journal Book!

I had a little journal book and gave it a book cover wrap. Then added a few of the die card embellishments and die card stickers.

As I was creating this little journal book I decided I needed some tabs. Then I decided that I would really like to have words that fit perfectly into the white space for the tabs.... Then of course because my juices were flowing I needed a cute little banner to use with my new words and a new journal spot... 

One of the things I love most about having my own stamp machine is that I can create a set of stamps in just moments. Stamps that I want or need for a particular project all at hand at a moments notice.

                                 

 

I love how I was able to dress up my new little journal! 

Hope you enjoy!


The March Newsletter is up for The Hens Den! So excited, full of some great inspiration!

Happy Valentines Day!! Card Making with the Teresa Collins Stampmaker free downlaod

I love Valentines... ok, truth: I love the chocolate that comes along with the day!

Making fun little valentines cards is pretty fun too!

The January free monthly download was full of fun little valentine stamps to create with and is what I used to create the card. Click on the above link for the free pdf monthly download or go directly to the TC Stampmaker website to obtain your free copy.

First you will want to create all of your stamps as I did below:

Then you will want to create all of your layers:

• The white base stamped with "I love you" border measures 5 3/4 x 5 3/4
• I then cut a paper bag 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 using a wavy blade trimmer stamped the hearts and the large I {heart} U in the upper left and centered it onto the white base. 
• I cut a 1 1/2 strip of burlap and create a folded banner and glued a 4 inch scallop circle from the new Teresa Collins Spring Fling collection paper: houndstooth
• I stamped the tag "will you be my valentine?" onto a book page and trimmed edges, added ribbon and some bling to the top of the tag.
• I cut a 2 1/4 inch scallop circle from the TC Spring fling line paper: mixed brocade (side B - dots) then stamped the outlined stiched heart onto it adhearing using 3D foam squares. 
• I stamped the "xoxo" strip onto white and folded around one of Teresa Collins "Ali's Pins" and adhered behind the heart. 
• I created little tags from cream craft paper and stamped "QT" & "Kisses", I stapled "QT" with some white ribbon, layered on top of the bottom of the scallop heart. I slid "Kisses" under the lower right of the scallop heart and added a gem.
• Adhere your creation onto a black 6 x 6 card and your done!

Scrapbook layout using New Spring Fling CHA 2012w release by Teresa Collins

I am really loving this new line SPRING FLING by Teresa Collins Designs. It's always so overwhelming in a good way when you open the box of new products. Usually because there is so much eye candy!! ✿


I love this photo of Elisha taken on her 17th birthday last may. She had just cut off all of her long hair and is sporting a new cut and color. Of course, it's blonder now and she is in the process of growing it out. I love how independent she is and just went for it.

 I love the "white space" on this layout and all of the layers! I'm in a huge layer, layer, layer phase right now.

I love the pinwheel flower, I added another flower in the center and layered them onto crate paper scallop circles. 

Here is a photo of the new release and all of the goodies

Teresa Collins New CHA 2012 winter releases....

I am so super excited about all of the new collections I will get to play with over the next several months. I have been creating up a storm using the collections and I can't tell you a favorite yet.

When I create goodies for CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) I create one item with one collection then move on to the next collection, create something and so on. So much fun! I love the feel of the papers, how thick they are and the texture... LOVE. Today I am going to be playing with Spring Fling (I think!) then get everything ready to ship out so you can see the creations at CHA next week!!
