Welcome to Racing Towards Creativity Royal Blog Tour

Welcome to my part of the "Pretty In Pink" Princess Tour. I am filling in for someone who had to drop the tour at the last minute. My name is Jennifer Eby. My samples will be on the simple side since I did not have weeks to prepare like the rest did. In fact, I did all my samples in one weekend. I am spotlighting the stamp set called "Leaf Lines." This set has so much potential. There are 5 types if leaves and a saying and I have used each and everyone in my samples you will see below. If you want to know how and what supplies I used, please email me and I will provide you with the directions. I am also offering Blog Candy. What I am giving away and what you must to do to be in the drawing is at the end of my samples.

I have crafted four things for thee to look at on your tour.

This card uses the holly leaves so, of course, I had make it into a Christmas card. I stamped some images on confetti white and on another paper stamped the same image and cut them out. I water colored them and put glitter on the berries. I used the ornament punch for the vase.

************************

This card used the oak leaves with the acorns and the corresponding DSP paper. I also used the saying that came with this set on this card. The leaf was attached to punched circles and raised up with glue dots.

************************

This is my favorite card. As you have probably discovered by now, making flowers from punches or stamps is all the rage right now. I used the ginko leaf to make my flower. The center of the flower uses the four leaf clover with a pink rhinestone brad. The leaves are from the big bird punch. The flower was raised up with a glue dot.

************************

This is my 3D item and it contains tea bags. The front of the container says TEA and it is hard to see in the picture. There are also clear buttons attached to the front. I am not sure what kind of leaves these are but they reminded me of tea leaves, so I used them on this container. The kind of tea that is in this container also includes flowers so I made pansies using our butterfly punch. This is on the back of the container.

We Have a Winner and Instructions for Blog Tour Samples

I would like to first let everyone who looked at my blog a thank you and everyone who left a comment, especially if you weren't in for the blog candy a hug. But most of all I hope I have inspired some of you and that you keep up with my blog. I post most every day. As you can see, I now just get patterns from different sights and then design the project myself now. It took a couple of years, but I am now confident enough to do it myself now so I am very pleased that everyone seemed to like my samples. Second, I like to announce that the winner of my blog candy is: Tenny Kusuma. I used the Random Number Generator and made sure the person full filled all the criteria and was not a demo. I will contact her by email and will have the items sent directly to her from Stampin UP. Congratulations Tenny.

I am going to give you links to blogs and videos that I used to find my inspiration in making the Tri-Shutter Card and the Post - It - Note Organizer.

Tri-Shutter Card
Post-It-Note Organizer


The scrapbook page is fairly simple to figure out by just looking at it.

The last card used the faux torn vellum technique: On White Card Stock, you mask off part of your cardstock with torn post-it notes and then just begin stamping, layering images and colors until you get the look you want. I stamped En Francais in Rich Razzleberry and then added the stamps from Kind and Caring Thoughts in Soft Suede, Stamped off Rich Razzleberry, Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry. I then sponged on three colors in a random pattern -- Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede to fill the empty spaces. Once you have the look you wanted, peel off the post-it-notes and Viola! You have a delightful torn vellum look.

I hope you enjoyed to tour and I usually post something everyday. So keep coming back to look at my creations. If you want more details on exactly what paper I used and what dies and punches I used, then email me and I will let you know. They are all the "In Colors" and the DSP was Razzelberry Lemonaid.

Royal Blog Tour

Welcome to my part of the Dusty Durango Princess Tour. I am spotlighting the Level 3 Hostess Set called "Kind and Caring Thoughts." I loved this set as soon as I saw it. It has so much potential. And I am offering Blog Candy. What I am giving away and what you must to do to be in the drawing is at the end of my samples.

I have crafted four things for thee to look at on your tour.

I have made a Tri-Shutter Card. The first picture is the front of the card which is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. The next picture shows the card when it is opened. I folded it backwards but it still works. This kind of card is easy to make and great for displaying. This card uses the new "In Colors" and DSP paper. The colors may look different on the two pictures as one was taken by my camera and one was scanned. The scanned image is the correct coloring (the front of the card.)

Next I made a 6 x 6 scrapebook page that has one of my daughter's senior pictures on it. This also uses the new "In Colors" and DSP paper. I thought that this stamp worked very well with the nature scene picture. and the sentiment also belongs to the set. Of course I am a little partial.

Next I made a Post-It-Note organizer w/matching pen. The first picture is of the outside of the organizer. On the inside the left side of organizer is a pocket you could put notes into and the right size has two sizes of post it notes. I will show a picture of the inside after the tour. This also uses the new "In Colors" and DSP paper.

And finally I made thee a traditional card using the new "In Colors." I used the faux torn vellum technique. I glittered the ends of the flowers and used the large oval and scallop oval for the vase. I have fallen in love with this technique. If you look further down I have more examples that use other stamp sets.

I wanted to do four different things so that you could see all the possibilities that could be done using this set. I have done more, but they limited us to only four. After the tour I will post new cards using this set, so be sure to come back and take a look. Thanks for viewing my creations.

If you look at the post below this one called Todays Card Creations, you will see other cards made with this stamp set and the inside of the Post-It-Note Organizer.
