Feature A Friend {on Friday}

Today's guest is the very talented Jaclyn Miller from Designs by Jax 

 I'm so excited that she agreed to share some tips for great card making with everyday items in your home and bless us with some of her talent!  Here is Jaclyn . . .  

hello friends. I'm so honored to be guest posting for Elizabeth today. Many thanks to her for searching me out. Today I'm going to show you how to make this card.

I know with the downturn in the economy, it has become more and more difficult to keep this craft hobby going for some people. The products can be pricey! I'm always looking for ways to stretch my dollar and I keep my eye out for items around my home that can be incorporated into my crafting. I bet you probably have one of these stuck in your pantry.

A Styrofoam plate! It's summer and there are bound to be picnics, so I'm guessing you can dig one of these up. Take your paper plate and trim off the outside ring so it looks like this. (try not to look too closely at my yucky kitchen table)

Now you have a flat "paper" to work with. Throw away the outer ring or, if you are one of those people who doesn't like waste, you could turn it into a fun hat for your dog.

He doesn't look humored, does he? Ok, so maybe you can't make it into a hat, but it did make for a funny photo, right? And, my kids got a kick out of it.

Ok, moving on, pick out your favorite die and run it through your die-cutting machine with the Styrofoam piece. I used some hexagons, and I actually ran them through a second time with a texture folder to add that bubble look. Easy peasy and it even has a neat bit of sparkle to it.

Here's a closer look at that texture. I actually pulled out one of my very old Close To My Heart stamp sets to use on this card. I believe it was a limited time 25th anniversary edition, but it is one of my favorites. I love that text on the sentiment.

Have I piqued your interest to look around your home for items you can use in your die-cut machine? Good. Mission accomplished. Thanks again to Elizabeth for having me over today. Have a wonderful day and happy die-cutting.

Please stop on over to Designs by Jax and leave Jaclyn some love - tell her thanks for me :)  Then take some time to check out some of the amazing teams she designs for!  Happy Friday!!  Go create something inspiring and if you happen to use any of the Feature a Friend tips feel free to upload your project photos onto my facebook page - I'd love to see what you have created :)

Feature a Friend {on Friday}

It's Friday!  I'm having a blast in Dallas using new product to create some beautiful artwork at the Close To My Heart Convention that I can not wait to share with you all!  I'm so excited about the New Idea Book and I know you are going to love it!  We'll be having a HUGE launch party the first week of August and you won't want to miss that!! 

Now on to our featured friend this week.  Maria from Joyful Stamper!  She has a great link party each week so be sure to check out her blog, link up some of your own projects and tell Maria I said "hi" :) 

I'm so excited to be guest posting @ Broken Treasures, thank you Elizabeth for having me!  I mostly showcase CAS cardmaking on my blog but I'm slowly adding some altered projects and even venturing into home decor with my Cricut! This is such a fun hobby!!


When thinking of a project to share, my thoughts went to the upcoming school year.  Teachers are such an important part of our children's lives and I know many of us try to help them in whatever way we can in providing an excellent educational experience for our children.  Therefore, I decided to create a card set for a teacher in my clean and simple style.

This set consists of four cards in a simple card-wrap holder tied with twine, using cardstock, design paper, die-cuts and stamps. 

I specifically created this set for a teacher to have thank you cards available to send out when needed, throughout the year. However, you can easily see the versatility of this set by simply changing the stamped sentiment.

Your children can even help in the mass production process, depending on their age!  These are standard size card bases in Kraft cardstock with one layer of solid cardstock and one of designer paper.  The die-cut can be whatever shape is appropriate to your theme.  Apples and teachers seem to go together!  

The wrap is just that, cardstock wrapped around the set of cards. From a 12x12 inch piece of cardstock, cut a stripe 5.75 inches wide. Score at 4.50, 4.75, 9.50 & 9.75 inches.  You can add a decorative edge on your flap if you like.  I've added a button to the twine for interest; it isn’t attached to the card-wrap.  

I hope you enjoyed my little project and have a chance to make some over the summer so they're ready for the new school season! Thanks again Elizabeth for letting me visit!  Wishing you all a blessed day!

Thanks Maria!  These cards are so cute and simple - just my style.  My son is entering Kindergarten in September and I'll for sure be making a set of these for his teacher :)  I hope you all have a great weekend! 

 

Here is this week's Perfect Pair:

Available July 11-16 (or whiles supplies last)

FREE with an online order of $75 ($15.90 value)
