Hey bloggy friends! Yesterday I hosted the Creative Charms blog..here's my post...

Gotta love Paper Smooches! :)

********************************

Hello, Joanna Bandelin from Scrap-Making here today. I'm sharing a sweet card with you all. I used some fun Gradient Red sticker gems along with some Pink and White Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon (love this ribbon!). I also paper pieced a stamp by Paper Smooches.

I wanted to keep my card more on the simple side....these days less is more! 

Thanks for looking! Have a great day :)

P.S. This card was also inspired by this weeks CardPatternSketch 147.

Be Jolly

Hey bloggy friends! Today I'm the hostess over on the Creative Charms blog..here's my snowman card.

Hi there, Joanna Bandelin from Scrap-Making here. I'm so excited we are finally just days away from Christmas! I love this time of year and so I decided to make one last holiday card for someone special.

The pieces of embellishments I used on my snowman are sneak peeks of the December Kit of the Month. This kit has tons of goodies for winter! I especially LOVE the large snowflakes.

You can also get the bling sperately in the Seasonal Sparkles Stickers - Winter Words & Bling. 

I hope you like it! Happy Holidays!

Hi there! Joanna Bandelin here form Scrap-Making.

Today I wanted to share a fun festive holiday card perfect to give to someone special during this time of year.

I used my favorite die-cutting machine (my Cricut) to cut the reindeer silhouette out and added some bright red Gradient Gems Stickers to add some bling. Then I added the big bloom from the White Flared Flower Medley and a little Red Pure Blossom flower to the center using a glue dot. To finish off my card I added the Peace sticker from the Christmas Multi-Dimentsional Twinkle stickers.

Simple and easy and cute...my 3 favorite things these days! lol..

Happy Holidays! :)

Merriest Wishes

Hi there! Today is 'CAS' Christmas Challenge on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog. 

I think sometime I struggle with clean and simple because I love to add a ton of stuff on my cards, but believe it or not..this card fell together nicely. :)

I gave my cute gingie a personalized ribbon dress using the red ribbon from the Autumn Twill Assortment and my new fav..the Christmas Baker's Twine.

I also added some of the baker's twine through my handmade button.

Here's a close up of her ribbon dress. :)

She's a cutie! lol..I used the Faceless Gingerbread Doll by Peachy Keen Stamps.

I hope you like it!

Hi everyone! It's Joanna Bandelin here, this is my 1st ever post here on the Creative Charms blog and I'm super excited to share my card with you today!

So far I have been LOVING everything about Creative Charms! The brads and bling and all the super cute embellishments! When I was making this card I pictured a blinged-out turkey..lol, that sounds kinda funny,  but that's what I eneded up making! Take a look...

I gave my turkey and fun hat with a leaf from the Fall Medley. And used some Amber Gem Stickers on the feathers.

I was really inspired by the 'thankful' sentiment (from the Autumn Words & bling set) and kind of worked around that. I also made a rolled ribbon flower and topped it with some gems and a pretty vintage marble brad.

I hope you enjoyed my card, thanks for stopping by! :)

Keep calm and make tea AND a tutorial!

Hi everyone! Ok, so today I am the host on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog. I thought I would combine another Scrappy Mom's sneak peek in with this post and I also squezzed in a mini tutorial..so enjoy! :)******************
Hi everyone! Joanna here, today I am sharing a sweet card using some fun fall colors.I did some ribbon pleating on this card. I've tried it before and really struggled with it, but this time around it was soo much easier! My secret??..I used my hot glue gun and it made pleating so easy!And I also made a pretty ribbon flower by rolling the ribbon in a circle and gluing down as you roll.I topped off my pleating with some pretty Oyster Baker's Twine ,the bloom is all Twill from the Autumn Twill Assortment and a fun sentiment by Scrappy Mom's Stamps!

Here's a little  mini tutorial on how I did the ribbon pleating:Start off with a layer of your ribbon (I used the Ginger Grosgrain).

Then start pleating by kind of over-lapping the ribbon onto itself. You'll want to glue about 1/2 inch at a time. What you will want to do is fold down about 1/2 inch, glue it then bring it back about 3/4 to 1 inch glue it down and then fold it again and overlap it onto the pleat before it, leaving about 1/4 space inbetween each pleat. ((I hope that makes sense! lol))

Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy! :)

Keep in mind this isn't the only way of ribbon pleating, this is just a way that I like to do it! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Pumpkin Patch Layout

Hi!

I was going to wait to share this layout over the weekend, but I loved it so much I couldn't wait! :)

This was of our latest trip to the Pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. It was a nice sunny day.

I used a fabbie sketch by Sketchy Thursdays and paired it with some of my wonderful Design Team products..I pulled out some Really Reasonable Ribbons, some Creative Charms and of course that super cute pumpkin is by my favorite--> Peachy Keen Stamps!

I've mentioned before that I am ADDICTED to making paper rosettes lately, so I had to add a few to my page..I cut them from the Something to Celebrate Cricut cart. Then I colored in that adorable pumpkin using the Halloween Sweet Folks by PKS. I made a little ribbon bloom using some Wrinkled Ribbon in Crush Rust by RRR and topped it with a pretty Vintage brad by Creative Charms.

I LOVE this pumpkin  trim by RRR! I thought it looked cute adding the little Pearl stickers by Creative Charms inbetween each pumpkin.

Then I added a bit of Twill by RRR for a quick border.

Hope you likey! :)

I was inspired by sketch 11.3 from Sketchy Thursdays:

Thanks for droppin' by! :)
