Day 5: Karen Foster Design: CHA Product Reveal
Welcome to our two-week sneak peek at products that Karen Foster Design will debut at the CHA 2012 Winter show. To celebrate this release the Design Team will be hosting a giveaway contest on our blogs where you can enter to win prize packs that match each day’s theme(s).
today the team is showing one theme: EASTER
today the team is showing one theme: EASTER
for this first project, i used a 4 x 12 piece of cardstock and scored it at 4", 7" and 11" and folded the cardstock along the score lines. then, filled a cellophane bag with assorted candies and stapled it in between the cardstock so that the 1" flap was folded over the other end of the cardstock strip encapsulating it. from there, i built up the parts and pieces of the bunny by adding ears, hands and facial features along with a sticker from the theme. the eyes are made from coil brads and the whiskers are a long strand of white scrapper's floss folded in half several times over. really, such a quick and easy project that is sure to thrill any little one this Easter.
for this layout i took more of a color blocking approach. its such a simple way to make use of 4x6 photos. each block of patterned paper or cardstock is cut to 4x6, then adhered in opposite corners. you can draw focus to the individual photos by placing a bold strip horizontally across the middle of the page. to create the woven strip, i threaded brown cardstock through a purple strip of cardstock that i punched with my Fiskars Leave It To Weaver Border Punch. then kicked it up a notch by adding brown coil brads to the center of each section of brown cardstock showing.
and lastly, i created an Easter card by collaging a variety of the stickers from the sticker sheet. before adhering the basket, i looped several strands of green scrappers floss behind the sticker to add a pop of color and make it look like it had Easter grass inside. again, you're seeing another one of those THIN-ments (as seen on my Wedding layout) along with a few rhinestone brads. i finished it off with an oversized bow made from tulle. the tulle can easily be found on 6" wide rolls at your local Dollar Tree. it's the perfect amount to keep in your crafting area for small projects like these.

Day 4: Karen Foster Design: CHA Product Reveal
Welcome to our two-week sneak peek at products that Karen Foster Design will debut at the CHA 2012 Winter show. To celebrate this release the Design Team will be hosting a giveaway contest on our blogs where you can enter to win prize packs that match each day’s theme(s).
today the team is showing two themes: Best Friends & Scrapbooking
i didn't create anything with the Scrapbooking theme, but as you click through you'll see several of the other team members did.
for the Best Friends collection, I created this dimensional frame, which looks very different in person. the frame stand is black and peeks through the bottom two frame openings.
most of the embellishments are just adhered directly to the frame with dimensional foam tape which is easy enough to peel off and redecorate when my daughter gets tired of this look.
i used the Best Friends stacked sentiment to span the area between the top and bottom picture openings. i adore those stacked sentiments because all the layering, dimensional and texture is done for you. just take it out of the package, remove from the backing sheet and plop it down on your project. they all come pre-assembled with dimensional foam tape already on the back too! love that!
that's all for today folks....i gotta scoot outta here to the doctor. have fun clicking through the rest of the posts today. :)

today the team is showing two themes: Wedding & Prom
i was assigned the Wedding theme, and have to admit, it was one of my favorites to work with. the projects came together so effortlessly, thanks to the variety of embellishments there were to coordinate with the papers. there is just the right amount of subtle color and sparkle in that oversized stacked sticker piece i used for the title to fancy the layout up a bit.
my new favorite embellishments are the intricate cut Wedding THIN-ments. it's that diamond ring embellishment you see on the lower left of the layout. they are brads made from a very thin metal. they are pliable if you want to make them more dimensional you can bend them. looooove them.
on this card you can see another one of the THIN-ment brads--the present. they add quite a bit of pizazz to a project with very little effort.
and lastly, i used the collection to print out the wedding vows i wrote and spoke to my husband 16 years ago. i opened my word processing program, inserted a text box, typed the vows within the text box, cut the wedding patterned paper down to 8 1/2 x 11 and ran it through my printer. then, i put it in the frame and added embellishments on top. if you want all the elements within the frame, you could do the same thing, but use a shadow box instead.

I was assigned the Robots theme, which was PERFECT for documenting a phrase that spidergirl says all the time as she stops and does a little 20 second robot dance. LOL. all that to say, don't discount this theme just because you don't have a little boy in your life.....it's a versatile collection. all the little pops of turquiose make it easy to add some femininity to your project.

Karen Foster Design Sneak Peeks: Day 5
(sorry for posting so late today! i got one kiddo down for the count today with a migraine.)
Welcome to the final day of Karen Foster Design’s Sneak Peek Week.
on this card i used it to add depth to the patterns already on the patterned paper, then layered on some stickers from the collection.
on this layout, i used the words from the stamp set to add a border across the bottom---again with the Versamark Watermark ink pad.
and on this layout, i used the stamps to reiterate the cardstock sticker "hope" title by stamping a repetitive image in a few shades of pink ink.
here's a full view of the stamp set these projects were made with:
Hopefully you have heard by now about our fantastic giveaways!
If not, scroll down to the last week's worth of posts to read all about it!

Welcome to the final day of Karen Foster Design’s Sneak Peek Week.
Today – for the first time ever – we have an entire day of sneak peeks devoted to stamping! Five new sports themed clear stamp sets will be released at CHA Winter: Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, and Game Day. They join the Birthday, Holiday, Baby, and Cancer Survivor sets that were previously released. Today the team will be sharing scrapbook layouts, cards, and paper crafted projects using all of these sets.
i'm sharing the Cancer Survivor set here. i loved using this set mostly with my Versamark Watermark ink pad.on this card i used it to add depth to the patterns already on the patterned paper, then layered on some stickers from the collection.

and on this layout, i used the stamps to reiterate the cardstock sticker "hope" title by stamping a repetitive image in a few shades of pink ink.
here's a full view of the stamp set these projects were made with:

of the four themes we're sharing today, i got to work with two of them---Easter and Upland Hunting.
my favorite paper in the Easter collection is this one here. it's just got a groovy-licious feel to it and can be cut apart and used in so many different ways. that sun just makes me giddy.
so, for this first project, i cut out the words 'easter bunnies' and use it for a policy envelope sized card, then just layered stickers along with eggs and such cut from the other papers. topped it off with a little glitter glue and called it good.
don't the colors in this sticker sheet just make you happy! i love that it is a happy mix of easter pastels and bold colors. i'm all about bold colors.
the stickers made decorating this pint-sized paint can super simple! the top green cardstock on the can was stamped with green ink using a brand-new pencil eraser as the stamp, then layered with patterned papers and several of the stickers placed around the can. i finished it off with a simple scrapper's floss bow and stuffed some paper basket filler/grass inside.
here's that groovy paper again. i couldn't help but to accent the center of the sunshine with the crazy coil brads. i looooooooove those things! on this layout, the floss wraps all the way around and then is tacked down with a few of the brads.
but on this layout, instead of wrapping the floss around the photo and creating extra bulk, i put the brads through and left a little gap before opening the prongs so i could wrap the floss around and "lace" them before tying the bow. there is a charm hanging from the floss---kinda hard to see. clicking the picture will open it larger.
here's the charms. aren't they cute!?
so, that's easter. now here's Upland Hunting. what's Upland Hunting, you ask? i haven't a clue, LOL! i just make things look pretty with paper and glue. i don't claim to know a thing about some of these themes. LOL. as you might have guessed, these from this theme are all made with stock photos.
i'm sure there are many of you who can enlighten me on upland hunting and what it's all about, and where this kind of thing is popular.
for what it's worth, i'm in looooooooooove with this paper from the collection! it's gorgeous, right?
i imagine it could be used with camping photos or for those who live in the country and get to experience the wide open harvest sunsets.

Karen Foster Design Sneak Peek: Day 3
Welcome to day three of Sneak Peek Week! You'll notice I have a bit more time to talk today, LOL! It's been a busy week so far.
Thanks to all my new readers stopping by! I hope you'll be inspired and make yourself cozy. I'd love to see you all stopping by on a regular basis after Peek Week is over. :)
i got to work with the Bachelorette and Girl's Night Out Collections. these first ones are from the Bachelorette collection.
but, as you can see with the card above, the collection is very versatile and parts and pieces can go together and make a generic girly project without screaming "these products are from a bachelorette collection."
my new favorite embellishment that they've released is right there on that card. they are called the Swirl Heart Brads. here's a closer look.
here's the sticker sheet from the Bachelorette collection so you can see what i was working with. all the new products can be found here at the karen foster design website: New Products.
(that's my sister second from the right)
i love the boldness of the text on the black with hints of plum mixed with the softness of the buttery yellow and hints of limey green. this collection is SOOOO easy to scrap with....it practically scraps itself.
i gotta thank my sister for all the photos....ahhhhhh, to be young again! (hi kristy!)
(that's my sister on the left)
out of all the products that have come and gone from the karen foster catalog over the years i've designed for them, i'm so stoked that they've never let the scrapper's floss disappear! i *adore* that stuff! it comes in these little 'dental floss-like' containers but now it also comes in a larger quantity on a rolled spool. i can't resist adding it to nearly every project!
here's a look at the Girl's Night Out collection. you'll notice that the color combo is very similar, but it holds a bit more pink than plum colors.
the sticker sheet:
fun, right!?
so, on this card, it's hard to see, but i used the brad bars and strung on some crystal beads and left them loose. so they move back and forth. it just adds a little playfulness to the card. my other favorite embellishment are those coil brads.
they come in every color you could imagine and are packaged in these cute little cork-topped test tubes.....like you'd use in chemistry class. i *adore* them.
