Treats

I sent my little guy off to school with a back pack full of treats for his teachers. I had lots of fun making little Christmas themed items with supplies from Stampin' Up! and on the dot papers from the Holiday Cheer Collection.

Sneak Peek

Here is what to expect in the new year! The Owl Always Love You Collection with fun papers from Sassafras Lass. Too Cute!

Face Art

The BoBunny design team created this page with the papers featured in this month's collection so I though I would share it with you! Take a peek at their blog to more Christmas creations made with your November Holiday Cheer Collection!

Chocolate Gift Pack

Rosemary from Stampin' Up! created a cute little candy pack for a party she did for me, I adapted her design and made one with the Holiday Cheer Collection and an Icons Rinestone Singles Clear jewel for the nose.

New Products now Online!!!

We just more great new products in like these sheer calendar sets from Maya Road, this is just one page from a clear album that the designers from Maya Road created. Check out their website to see the other pages of this fabulous birthday calendar!

We also got in more thickers from Amercian Crafts, felt from Queen & Co. rhinestones from Me & My Big Ideas, and the latest hot product "Just the Edge" from Bazzill!

All fixed!

The website is fully functional again, if you happened to visit our site while it was down you will need to 'clear your cashe' if Created With Paper's site is not coming up for you, basically just go to Tools, then Clear Private Data, make sure Cashe is checked off, then hit ok. Luckily this happened after all of our kits already went out and before the new stuff is coming online at the end of this week!

Happy Holidays

Here is my take on Kazan's 2s4u posting this week. Another creation with this month's Holiday Cheer Collection. Everything used here is from this month's kit accept for the button, it's from the All Stuck Up, Wildberry buttons.

Website is Down

Hi everyone, our hosting company is switching our website to a new server and they're having some difficulty with the transition, we are unclear as to when it will be completely fixed. Our site is back online after being down yesterday, but the checkout is broken. Hopefully they will resolve it soon because we have lots of great new products en-route to add to our site. I'll will keep you updated through the blog!

Weather Report: snow...and more snow!

Well we got our first dusting of snow yesterday, and with it very cold weather. This card matches the mood of our part of the province!

Expecting Twins

My sister in law is expecting twin girls so I made this card for them. The ribbon and background paper is from next month's Holiday Cheer collection. I've also used paper frills from the Butterfly Collection, and Party Mix Rub-ons from Doodlebug. The Hippo is from Stampin' Up! The layout was inspired by this weeks 2s4u!

Another sample of what's coming next month!

The one thing I love about next month's Holiday Cheer kit is the Patterned Cardstock that has gifts along the bottom. They're so much fun to cut out and embellish with ribbon or brads like I've done with these two samples.

Frosty Card

Here is another card created from Next month's Holiday Cheer Collection!

Gift Idea

Here is my take on Kazan's Sketch 11. Look at this cute idea for hostess gift or teachers gift, a simple candy dish and a card! Everything used to make this card was from this month's Play All Day Collection, with the exception of the ribbon, which is from Bo Bunny's Double Dot line just love to work with!

Ho Ho Ho - Laura's sketch 10

Here is a peek of what is to come in the Holiday Cheer Collection, fab products from BoBunny's new release of Holiday papers, as well as great ribbon, rub-ons, brads and embellishments. The other items used to make this card are the Prima Bigger Bag for the flowers and Rub-on tape boarders for the stitching around the edge.

The Play All Day Collection is now online! Here is a card I made today with this great kit and the 2S4U sketch of the week. We also have an official design team member to announce. We are very excited to have Tammy Wark working with our kits to create inspiring works, all of which can be found on her blog and in our gallery. Be sure to check it out!

Hello Fall

In honor of the first day of fall I have created this card, inspired the 2s4u and Created with the up and coming October Collection Play All Day!

Oh Happy Day!

Here is a card made by Designer Tammy Wark created with this month's Bohemia Collection.

Another two..

More from the Exchange...

Card Exchange

Since I had the Whiteout Explore Collection out I used the materials to make a bunch of cards for a card exchange. I also used All Stuck Up Buttons and Bigger Bag Flowers Here is some of what was made more to come...

Whiteout Explore Collection

Here I took inspiration from this weeks 2S4Y sketch by Kazan. I just love the look of the lined paper in the Whiteout Explore Collection . The base was 3 layers of patterned paper, I love how this collection already has a textured look because of the whitewash on all the solid sides of the paper. This was a quick card to do because the 3D "You" was from the self adhesive chipboard word package. I cut the flower from the patterned paper and use a Designer Eyelet from the kit for the center of the flower, which was placed over top of a single strip of stitched ribbon from the Unique Trim package.

Be Happy

Here is my take on this week's 2 Sketches 4 You. I'm using the Glee Collection because I will be away for most of August and I wanted to show some ideas for the August kit, it's a fun one!

Summer Love

Okay sorry I've been away for a while, we had family in town and life has been very busy. This card was inspired by the 2 sketches 4 you sketch from this week. It was made from this month's Magnolia Collection some American Crafts flowers and All stuck up Brads from Bo Bunny.

Happy Canada Day!

This card was my take on the latest 2 sketches 4 you. It was made with the Magnolia Collection as well as All Stuck Up Flowers and All Stuck Up Buttons. Many of the All stuck up products are on special this week in celebration of Canada Day for only $4.99! Take a Peek at www.createdwithpaper.com

2 Sketches 4 You

Okay there is a fun and inspirational blog called 2 Sketches 4 You, every week they do a sketch and inspire bloggers to create cards from their pattern. Here is what I created using this week's sketch and the Magnolia Collection, which will be the new kit coming out July 1 at http://www.createdwithpaper.com/ See this month's feature Collection.

Happiness Card

Here I used the same colours again but substituted the brown dot for the green dot cardstock. I used the plain back side of the green and versamarked the swirl stamp for a subtle background.

Happy Birthday Card

Here we are again with the same colours, this time such a simple card, I used a white gel pen to give a stitched look to a strip of card stock. I've also been adding dots to the flower after it's been stamped.

Thank you card

Here I used the Beachy Keen Collection with the simple addition of "Cameo Coral" Ink from Stampin Up to colour the flower and Thank you, I've given a whole different look to the papers that came in the kit, by just combining them with this pink. I used my 1" circle punch to create the orange scallop below the chocolate dot brown strip, a white gel pen for stitching and foam dots to give the flower some dimension.

Close to My Heart Party!

Okay I found the card I made at the Close To My Heart party last week, Tracey Dampier also had us make a father's day card, which is great because I'll need two for Sunday! I'm so glad I found it in time :)

Stampin Up! Party

I went to another great Stampin Up party with demonstrator Lynda James, she had us make two wonderful cards so I though I would share. I was also at a Close to My Heart party last week and hopefully I can find what I did with the card we made because I wanted to post it too (I also wanted to use it for Father's Day...).

Guy Card

Just a quick post to show my latest creation of a birthday card for a friend from volleyball.

Card Exchange

Here is the "Warm Wishes" card I made for a local card exchange, the theme was a pocket card. They're not due until the end of June, so if anyone is interested in joining, there is still time. How it works is you make 7 cards that are all the same then you get 7 different cards back!

Sand Castles

Here there were too many mis matched colours in the clothing in the photo so I decided to focus in on the background for the colour pallet for my page. That's one great thing about having a stamp set in the kit, because the blue colour of the water wasn't in the patterned paper of this collection, so I created my own with one of the flowers. I used generation stamping here, started with dark blue and stamped 4 times without reinking in between to get lighter shades of the same colour. I used my stamp spot to dab ink on the chipboard words, I wanted it to be rough looking so I left some white peeking through in spots, it gives the look sand on the beach.

Congratulations Card

Here I took the blue dot cardstock and used my small circle punch to cut out a dozen circles, then I glued them around the circle or boarder edge and punched them with my crop-a-dile to give the unique scallop look you see here. I also used my Bo Bunny flex ruler to cut the striped paper leaving the white background showing, again I followed the curve and punched subtle holes with my crop-a-dile.
