I Miss You A Latte ~ Easel Card

I've enjoyed making Easel cards recently and decided to make up a few with some Scrappydew files. This is the Latte Bears: http://www.scrappydew.com/store/holiday/valentine-easter.php

To make this card I used A6 card. I used the Martha Steward score board to make my folds and an envelope, but neither are required. The paper is from DCWV, Nana's Kitchen, coffee paper.

I used a 9" x 6 1/4" cardstock of coordinating paper, scored at 4 1/2" and folded the top in half for the Easel, but you could fold/score higher at 1" from the top to achieve a taller easel. I glued my SD Latte Bear on the bottom to the front of the card. I used Curlz font on my computer. I printed out the title and then lined up the heart and ran it back thru my printer for the title. I fussy cut some of the coffee cups out and used pop dots, layered on more coffee paper. On the inside I added a piece of plain cardstock, inked the edges and added my sentiment..

A Dog's Tale ` Mini Album

Here is one of my latest mini albums I created for a customer.  This mini is made from envelope/cards sets.  I used wired binding that is attatched in the back.  The closure is a custom made collar to go with the dog theme.  The frame is adheared with velcro to be able to change the title or add a picture.  The D loop on front is for the customer to add a dog tag for the names of their dogs.  This came out perfect, I am very happy with it.

"Gears Are Fun" Scrapbook Title/Border

"Gears Are Fun"

Here is a scrapbook title/border I recently made using ScrappyDew's Robot 2012 pattern.  This came out cute.  I have many plans for future layouts.

Dear Cricut (using Cricut Craft Room)

Dear Cricut,



So you may get bombarded with complaints and suggestions, I'd at least like to put in my 2 cents. This probably has come up before, but maybe this could happen. So I have been a loyal customer from the begining of the Cricut personal (original) die cutter, thru the expression and now the imagine. I followed the lawsuits of SCAL and MTC, which I found to be hard heartening as a consumer of both products. I love MTC and my cricut, why can't there be a happy world for us consumers to be able to enjoy both. That being said, I have also come to use CCR, and like certain features here, as the digital downloads and the ability to print/cut from here. So my main suggestion, since I have also heard that you are no longer selling the Imagine, thus I assume there will be no more or limited cartridges, would you support us loyal consumer by allowing us to import free pattern images to at least be able to print full sheets of pattern paper. This seems like an easy compromise and how nice would it be for us to save a trip to the store, or shipping charges to just buy a stack of paper. I do hope this is something you will consider.



Sincerely,



Loyal customer owner,



Angie Koehne

Welcome Winter sign/plaque

I made this adorable "welcome winter" sign/plaque with the "welcome winter" paper piecing pattern from Scrappy Dew.  I painted the wood oval sign with craft paint, glued on my paper piecings.  Added snow flakes with glitter glue, and accented the snow drifts.  Then I sprayed the whole sign with Perfect Pearls Mist.  I was very proud how nice this turned out.  Now if we could only get snow in Phoenix ;)

Kids Scanvenger Hunt

Here is a Scavenger Hunt idea for our camping trip in the woods with 4 other families.  Our plan is to split the 13 kids into teams of 3 and have them find items in the woods A-Z.  Of course we want the kids to have fun so I will come up with 4 prizes, one for each team, no one likes being left out.  But to keep it interesting we are going to do a bonus prize for the team of the most items.  If anyone would like to have a copy please email me and I will send you one.

Backyard Camp Out

I originally created this layout with for the Scrappydew design team.  I will be listing a duplicate on Ebay for sale.  This is an adorable layout for camping of backyard campout.

Invited to ScrappyDew Design team: Dew-ettes

I am very excited to be a part of the Scrappy Dew Design Team: Scrappy Dew-ettes.  I used the Litttle Superhero file to make this amazing Spiderman!  I used Marvel Spiderman paper, blue cardstock.  The emellishments are files from Make The Cut: Spider web, spider border and the bubble for title.   The city scape can easily be made from basic shapes in MTC.  Just "weld" together different sizes  and "join" smaller shapes for the windows.  I lined the back with yellow for lights on effect.  The font is comic which is on MTC.  

Creating my own patterns & die cut files

New creations being listed on  Ebay & Etsy.  I love creating my own cut files for my cricut.  I am just getting started with my lil boy and girl coming up with cute clothes and settings.  I will be trying my hand at chalking to enhance my cutouts.  I can see my OCD kicking in!  I'd also like to try using Copic markers.  That will be a future adventure.  Enjoy!

Shabby Chic Mini Album

I made this Shabby Chic Album earlier this month, and sold it on Ebay.  I just wanted to share how nice this turned out.  I used an altered file folder method for the album and used Die Cuts With a View Lace and Linen stack.  You can check it out here: http://youtu.be/qkAxlB6MbPY

How to tip for sewing on plastic

I came across this method of sewing on plastic or vinyl that I decided to share.  I'm sure the idea is not new for the advanced seamstresses out there, but when I came around to looking around the internet for help, I did not come with anything, so I hope this can help someone else out.

Gatefold mini album

Gatefold Mini album

I have just completed a gatefold mini album using plastic bags in paper bag album style.  This was fun creating, I used 6 bags.  Each bag was folded at the 2/3 mark and flipped with the corresponding page with the other 1/3.  I pulled out many punches to create alternative snowflakes, and designed my own embellishments for the cover, using my cricut and various other punches.  I have listed this on Ebay to sell on my TinksTableScraps id.  I plan to make a youtube video to share.

Update 12/15/11

I've just discovered Pinterest, love it!  I'm waiting to join!  What a unique idea.

Tonight I changed my Ebay ID to TinksTableScraps to unify my online activity.   I will be updating Facebook to include TinksTableScraps to display products I love to use, and my latest creations. 

I've just finished up multiple orders on Ebay and look forward to scrapping/crafting some winter ideas.  I look forward to sharing some techniques and applications on my projects. 

Getting Started!

I'm joining the Blog world.  I'm a little slow, but I'm getting started using my blog.  I want to share my latest creations.  I enjoy making premade scrapbook pages and albums to list on Ebay.

I have been designing my own work, from hand torn tear bears, to designing my own little boys and girls to embellish my layouts.
