Giveaway and Finally my first tutorial ~ Sunflower Box Card

Hey Everyone,

This post has been a long time coming. I created my Sunflower box card back in July and my goal was to create a video tutorial for this particular card since then. I had purchased Pinnacle Studio 18 video editing software shortly after and have worked here and there to learn how to use this program. It was overwhelming at first but I love it to say the least. The video is a 2 part series and is a little long but I didn't want to miss any details. I would appreciate your feedback on the my tutorial. I would love for you to become a subscriber to my YouTube channel 'The Electric Poppy Creates' https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngF9lrEBPNbcedErvNxuiQ

Giveaway...we all love a giveaway! I will pick one winner (must be a subscriber) in the next 2 weeks - you will be receiving a Sunflower Box Card Kit. All the paper elements to make this card is included. Winner will be announced 10/4/15. This contest is limited to the U.S. only...sorry. Leave a comment that are a subscriber with your e-mail address or you can e-mail me at kimberspaperdesign@hotmail.com

Happy Crafting, Kim

Craft Organization: Ink Pads

Hello Crafters,

I came across a wonderful idea and tutorial on how to organize ones ink pads. It is a label created by Kristina Werner of KWerner Design. And what is awesome is that she shares the labels in PDF form for free. Here is the link http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=14584 and I strongly encourage you to watch her tutorial.

I have a lot of the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads and used 'Blank Ink Labels - Short' and they fit perfectly. Here is a quick shot of what I have started.

Also, I am currently working on putting together the video tutorial for the Sunflower Box Card. I have not forgotten but it is taking me longer than I had expected. I am new to video editing but I will get faster.

Happy Crafting my Friend!

Sunflower Box Card

Hi Crafters! Here is my Summer project I created for the Aldina Rose group on Facebook. Since it is now August, I thought of late Summer for inspiration. And naturally sunflowers came to mind; they are my favorite. I also gave this to my mother as her birthday card.

Please, become a follower and e-mail to this subscriber to my blog. Why...I will be sharing directions and the Cricut Design Space file I used to create this box card this upcoming weekend.

The base I created from objects in the Craft Room cartridge. All items are free or in the subscription in Cricut Design Space. Please tell me what you think. I really appreciate your comments. All pictures belong to The Electric Poppy and Kimberly Sisco. You may share but please give credit.

Cricut Design Space: Patriotic Flag

Hello Crafters,

I wanted to share a flag that I created in Cricut Design Space. I created this flag for the Aldina Rose Designs Facebook Inspiration Team click HERE to see all the incredible projects. I share the cut file at the end of this post. All design elements in this project are included in the Cricut Design Space subscription.

 

For Cricut Design Space Users - Helpful Resource

I love the Cricut Design Space subscription but if you are like me knowing what is available can be challenging and overwhelming. I am sure most of you know that Cricut offers a library list of their subscription cartridges and images; this is in PDF format. I am sharing it here today as a helpful resource only. It is free on the Cricut website and you can click HERE to be taken to the Cricut website. I have saved this helpful resource to my computer and tablet for handy reference. Here are some pics of what is included in the PDF. I hope you find this useful. Happy Crafting!

Hot Air Balloon Redo

Hello Crafters! Have you ever made a project and were just not completely happy with it? Happens to me all the time. My last card was a perfect example. I was not happy with the background, the clouds, etc... It was not as I had imagined. So, I made a new card and I am much happier with the results. I added some extra clouds to create balance and heat embossing. Again, I used my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space to create this card. I share my Cricut Design Space link at the end of this post.
