Joy Tag with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone! It's Nancy here with you today!

I'm so happy to be a part of this very talented Design Team,

and I'm looking forward to inspiring you with my projects

in the months ahead.

For my first project I have created a tag:

Here's how I did it:

I began by creating a tag base for my chipboard pieces.

I cut one from kraft, then a layer from navy cardstock,

and then a final layer from a printable quilt pattern.

I distressed all the edges with a distressing tool.

Once they were all adhered together,

I inserted a matching eyelet to the top of the tag,

and then added a variety of ribbons and rick rack through the eyelet.

Then it was time to play with my chipboard.

I used the dress form from the Dressmaker Mix,

and the "Joy" from the Words of Christmas Set.

Then I took the Heart o Graph Doily and cut 1/4 of it out.

This cut very easily with a pair of scissors.

Next, I chose some inks that coordinated with the background paper,

and used these to colour my chipboard, using an ink blending tool.

I use Distress Oxide inks in:

Worn Lipstick,

Peeled Paint,

and Broken China.

Since I wanted the doily to be navy,

I added some Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

This gave me the perfect navy with the look of the Oxide ink. 

Once the chipboard was dry,

I adhered it in place on my prepared tag.

Finally, I added some small, rather sheer flowers, from my stash.

One went on the dress form, and three on the doily.

I didn't want solid flowers that would cover all the doily details.

Here's a closer look at the dress form:

Here you can see the detail of the dress from base,

and the lovely doily:

Here is the top of the tag.

The ribbons, seam binding, and rick rack really fit the theme of the tag.

Here's one final look at the finished tag.

I think this tag would be lovely for anyone that enJOYs quilting!

Love You Card with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends! It’s Karla back today with a sweet Valentine Card with matching envelope using the Southern Ridge Trading Company 6x6 Heart Stencil and the Heart O Graph Doily Chipboard. I can see myself using this heart stencil for so many different projects! 

I coated the top of the Heart O Graph Doily with Emerald Creek Magical Mysteries Kiss Of The Fairy Embossing Powder to give a beautiful pink shine. The ombré pink heart background on the script patterned paper was created using the Heart Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks. Cocoa Vanilla papers and embellishments coordinated nicely!

I stamped sentiments on the front and inside using the Ranger Letter It ‘Loves’ stamp set and decorated a kraft envelope by stencilling the pretty hearts again. I added a few more SpiegelMom Scraps and Studio Katia sequins inside and this card is ready to give to someone special!

You can see just how I created this card in this process video here.

Shine Scrapbook Layout with Katelyn Grosart

Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. For today's post, I'm excited that I get to share with you a scrapbook layout that I created for my mom for Mother's Day.  My Shine scrapbook layout features a variety of our chipboard pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how I transformed the chipboard pieces for my Shine Scrapbook Layout.

To start, you'll need three Vintage Scroll Keys. Apply two coats of Hickory Smoke Distress Paint to each key. Once the paint has dried, rub Black Soot and Hickory Smoke Distress Crayon along the edges of the keys.

Next you'll need the large frame from the Abstract Frame Set.  Apply two coats of Mustard Seed Distress Paint to the frame. After the paint has dried, rub Black Soot Distress Crayon along the edges of the keys.

Cut the Heart o Graph Doily in half. Apply two coats of Black Gesso to each of the doily pieces.

Take one Queen Anne's Drop from the package. Apply two coats of Ocean Acrylic Paint by Dina Wakley to the chipboard piece. 

The last chipboard piece to embellish is the Shine Word. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the word. Sprinkle Onyx Frost Embossing Powder overtop of the word. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. 

Once all the patterned papers have been layered all together, I then added the photo and frame. In the bottom right hand side of the layout I layered in the drop, a key, the doily, the Shine word as well as some fussy cut images and a variety of flowers.

In the top left hand corner of the layout, I layered in the other half of the doily, the two keys as well as some fussy cut images and a variety of flowers.

And here's the finished layout with all the chipboard pieces added.
