*Giveaway* And Wish Big Cake Card Tutorial

Hey there friends, 

It's just me again with a fun Xyron hop and giveaway so stay tuned-

I have a step by step tutorial for this card for you as well. 

For this card I used the Out On A Limb Scrapbooking Wish Big-Boy kit

with my Xyron 3" Sticker Maker, Xyron Adhesive Dots, and Xyron Mega Runner

so I could turn it into this fabulous project. 

Using the cake pieces from the kit- run them through the 

Xyron 3" Sticker Maker. Layer cake pieces together onto pre-cut

white base provided in kit. 

Rub and peel each piece before adhering. 

Using stickles fill in each polka dot and add sparkle fibers. 

Once cake is pieced together use Xyron Adhesive Dots,

to add embellishments. 

 When everything is pieced them fold a white sheet of card stock in half. 

Use Xyron Mega Runner to adhere decorated cake to cardstock. 

Make sure the top fold is below the first layer. 

Trim out with scissors for a shaped card as shown below. 

Pre-cut and pretty easy if you ask me! The perfect unique card.

Hey there again! 

I had so much fun with my mini album from last week I decided to take this

old book box I had from Michaels on clearance for .50 and make a project

using the leftovers from my Xyron, DCVW goodness. 

I love how it turned out, no lie I am obsessed with coral lately! :) 

And the coordinating burlap and corrugated paper from DCVW just makes me smile. 

I added some Blumenthal Lansing buttons over the corrugated paper.
I really just had fun with it all!

for these families. 

 I love being able to capture the smiles and giggles.

Hey there friends,

Oregon and then I shipped them off to Louisville for the National Archery

Tournament while I work this weekend!

See you Monday! :) 

Bright DCVW and Xyron FUN!

Hey there friends it's HUMP DAYYYYY!

Tonight I go pick up my in laws coming in from Oregon and before I did

that I wanted to share this fun mini album I created.

I used DCVW Chalk Art Paper Pad, and DCVW Corrugate Mat Stack

for a fun bright and cheery purse album and as EVERY project I used XYRON!

Here is the super cool paper pad I used-

So after I spray painted all the chip pages with spray paint (coral)

 I started by trimming my Corrugated sheets in half.

 Then using their cork paper to create a trim piece. 

I used my Xyron Teresa Collins Adhesive kit to adhere these pieces. 

 I added some DCVW Burlap also in the bright colors. 

 I hand trimmed out some of the Chalk paper art 

adhering it to the inside of the cover, 

 I used the Xyron Adhesive Dots to adhere the buttons and flowers.

Man those dots make my life easy!

 I threaded each button then used the dots. 

 I cut out the little chalk word frames from the paper pad and 

used them as photo mattes. Using my Xyron Mega Runner to

adhere them on each side. 

 Every page I used one. You can either add photos or use chalk on them.

super fun and interactive. 

 Then for the back I used the dots again to adhere to buttons. 

 Here are all the pages in the album. 

 When it was completed I added lace to tie it together. 

I love making this bright and cheery album! LOVE the colors and love

that new coral spray paint.
