Rim to Rim Grand Canyon Scrapbook Layout

I really like how this Grand Canyon (Rim to Rim!) page layout turned out.

I ripped and layered Creative Memories card stock paper for the layered background effect. 

I added a white journal block on the left side where I can write the story.

This definitely is an adventure worth documenting!

Use your Border Maker Cartridge as a Punch!

Creative Memories Border Maker System makes awesome 12-inch borders but have you ever used the Border Maker Base with a Cartridge in it as a Punch?  Yes! It's so obvious but I hadn't ever thought of using it this way before (duh!)

This will be great for card making or just a little embellishment on the corner of a page or photo....like this pumpkin one I saw on CM's recent blog post:

Vine Border Punch tips scrapbooking layout

Creative Memories new On The Vine Border Punch is a heavy-duty punch that will cut hundreds of cuts. My tip for you is when using this with Creative Memories decorative paper, punch through two sheets of paper at a time. That will prevent your paper from getting torn on the intricate design of the punch. Cardstock can be punched single layer. 

Another tip is to layer your border strip. So first punch a border with brown cardstock,

then punch your pretty scrapbook paper border (remember 2 sheets together to make it punch better), and then layer the brown underneath the decorative.

I often get asked which adhesive to use. I recommend Creative Memories REPOSITIONABLE Tape Runner Refill. Get one of those and put it in your Tape Runner Cartridge. It comes out in a pattern of tiny dots so after applying, any excess rubs right off! It's super fast and convenient.

How to make Christmas Cards with Creative Memories All That Glitters Card Kit!

Cardmaking has never been easier with

Creative Memories All That Glitters Christmas Card Kit! 

 The Kit comes in a beautiful keepsake box and includes:

Cards

Envelopes

Embellishments

Die-cuts and  Pre-cut Card Pieces

Red, Green and Gold Glitter Enamel Sticker

Roll of Gold Washi Tape

Full-Color Instructions

PLUS 170 BONUS embellishments!!

I was able to make a ton of extra card and tags!!

Here are  the 12 Christmas Cards I made with the Kit:

Then because I had so much left over with the BONUS Embellishments,

I purchased a couple of Blank Card Kits to use with my leftovers

and I also used scrap paper to make a bevy of Christmas Gift Tags!

Here are some of the ideas I came up with just using the leftovers (I didn't have to cut anything! Just stick on the leftover pieces however I wanted!):

I used the Gold Washi Tape to make a border on these ones...the Washi is so beautiful and I still have a bunch leftover!

I love the gold metallic background on these cards. Again, this is all from the leftover supplies that came in the All That Glitters Card Kit. I didn't have to use any of my own paper!

Then I went crazy making a bunch of gift tags!

So much Fun!!

So the "extra" Supplies I recommend using along with the Kit(s) are:

Foam Squares

Tape Runner

Ribbon (for the Tags)

Hole Punch (for the tags)

Personal Trimmer or Tag Punch (for the tags)

If you want to Shop for any of these Card Kits or supplies,

Easy paper party favor

Use leftover scraps to make these darling little treat envelopes

First start with a 6" x 6" square piece of double-sided scrapbook paper

I cut my 12x12 paper into 4 pieces but you can use your scraps too

I made a folding template from a piece of white cardstock

I keep this in my scrap bag so I can whip up some little treat envelopes anytime I need them

This is what your paper should look like after you fold it:

Next fold it in half with pockets facing out like this:

Punch a hole through the top:

Tie with Ribbon and add some treats

The best "flat" treats to use are a Tea Bag on one side

and a piece of Ghirardelli chocolate on the other side

For this example I just used the chocolates I had on hand but I prefer the Ghirardelli squares because they fit perfectly in the pocket and don't slide out!

Enjoy and

Happy Scrappin'
