Nikki Sivils Early Father's Day Card

Hi Everybody!

I'm sad to say it's the last day of my official highlight of Nikki Sivils paper :(  It's been so much fun this week working with this high quality paper.  Today I'm using the Something for Everyone  line.  I decided to get a little head start on Father's Day.  Here's my card:

• Nikki Sivils Something for Everyone line  
• Holiday Cakes cartridge
• Stampin' Up! cardstock
• Pink By Design = Tool Time set (inside of card)
• brads from my stash

*Here is the card with matching envelope.

*I just saved the letters from the license plate and adhered them to the envelope! I didn't have to cut anything extra :o)

*I distressed the edges for more of a "manly" look than faux stitching.

*Here's the inside.  I used some of the scraps I had to add a matching strip.

*I used Pink By Design Tool Time set for the sentiment.

Using matching paper lines makes these projects VERY quick to put together!  Don't forget, if you want to win some Nikki Sivils paper of your own, remember to leave a comment on each of the posts listed below for a total of 7 chances to win!

Nikki Sivils Notecard Set Using Bella Blue And Oscar Too Line

Hi Everybody!
Can you believe this is my 5th day posting in a ROW??  Honestly, I never thought I could because I'm so busy with my family, but Nikki Sivils paper is SO easy to work with that I can create projects really quickly.  So this time I used the Bella Blue And Oscar Too Line.  I think pages that are scallop shaped are so gorgeous, but almost too gorgeous!  I never want to cover them up.  I took a look at the scalloped page from this line, and had the idea to create a notecard set.  You could seriously create this whole set (with envelopes) in about 20-30 minutes.  Even less if you don't doodle as much as I did :P

• Nikki Sivils Bella Blue And Oscar Too Line
• Pink By Design = March Stamp of the Month "Grow", Simply Everything
• white gel pen
• envelopes
• 2 sheets of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock (I used Stampin' Up!)

Here's what you start with:

• Cut that into 4 symetrical trianges in wedge shape (cut vertical, then horizontal).

• Paste with the point of the wedge in the bottom left of the card.  You may have to play with it a little bit and do some trimming, but nothing major. 

 Here's how it turned out:

*Using some of the same stamps that you use from the cards on the envelope really bring the them together.

*Making matching envelopes makes this look like a complete set.

And if you want to win some Nikki Silvis paper of your own, remember to leave a comment on each of the posts listed below for a total of 7 chances to win!

*One entry per person per post ;)

• Pink By Design sentiment = Take the Cake set
• Post-It Craft paper = lion layers, grass

Nikki Sivils Bookmarks Using Tree Love Line

Hi Everybody!
I'm back today with another project using Nikki Sivils paper!  You can check out her project page here, her Facebook page here (and let her know that Crazy About Cricut sent you!), or her great blog here.  Today I decided to make my two oldest daughters a couple of bookmarks using the Tree Love line.  I also laminated them using my YourStory.  Here's how they turned out:

• Nikki Sivils Tree Love line
• YourStory laminating/binding machine
• Pink By Design = Woodland Critters set
• Peachy Keen Stamps = Everyday Character Face Assortment
• Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches (less than $3 for a pack of 20 5" x 7" size at Walmart)

*Here's the page where I got all the cut outs from:

*I cut out two of the Fall sections from the word border.
*Then I stamped sentiments from Pink By Design Woodland Critter set on the tab, and also on the main bookmark.
*I also rounded the corners.

 *Had to Peach-ify the little tree!!

*This is the back of them. I just cut more shapes from the cut out sheet, inked the edges, and adhered them.

*This is how it comes out of the laminator before I trimmed off the excess plastic.

* This was my first time using these pouches, and they worked great!
