i made this: lifestyle crafts

 

Have you ever played with Shape ‘N Tape?

Today I am gonna show you a

fun way to dress up you planner using it!

 

Supplies:

-2014 Planner

-Evolution

-Genius Platform

- Lifestyle Crafts POCKET SCRAP DIES Hooary & Life

-Lifestyle Crafts Recipe Card Die

-SHAPE ‘N Tape LINEUP

 

Using my Genius Platform, I placed my dies on the platform

and laid a piece of Shape ‘n Tape over the dies running it through the machine.

This is what your sheet of shape ‘n tape will look like after going through the machine.

All my pieces cut out

You’ll need to pull the backing off the tape {this is what allows you to cut the tape in the die cut machine.

Simply place it on you planner

And viola your planner is as cool as you.

 

Using the fold over tab, fold the tab first and then peel the backing off half way. Place the tape on the edge of them paper leaving some of the tape not on the paper. Start peeling the back off as you fold it over onto the backside of the page

And there you have it.

Today is my final recap of CHA 2014

And with that I will share my projects that were chosen to be displayed.

Honestly 7 years ago I would never have imagined I would have a project on display.

I know I do not have half of the talent that the rest of the designers have, but I am so thankful and honored to have projects amongst them! Thank you We R Memory Keepers and Some Odd Girl for displaying my creations!

instafriday: week 2

 

chaw: 2014 preview

 

I am excited to announce that I will have projects up at CHAW 2014 this year!

 

7 years ago I went to my very first CHAW! For you who don’t know what this is it stands for Craft & Hobby Association Winter. It’s a trade show for all the scrappy products being released the first half of the year. It is not open to the public. You have to be a member and so on.

 

I never imagined 7 years ago when I attended, that I would EVER have projects on display. And I wont just have projects in one booth but 2.

Today I am sharing 2 layouts that I made for Some Odd Girl.

 

Aren’t these stamps cute? No I did not color these. I wont even try to claim I colored them. My friend Kristy, the owner of SOG colored them and sent them to me to work with. I feel so honored to have gotten to play with her creations. People she drew these girls! And then had them turned into stamps so everyone can use them!

Well if you happen to be attending be sure to stop by booth 2401 and say hi to Kristy! And of course see my layouts in person. And if you want to get crazy, instagram a pic of my layouts and tag me @aimeemaddern I would love to see it!
