A Day Without Golf… Jr. Legal Pad Cover

A Day Without Golf… Jr. Legal Pad Cover

wwDSCN7352

Here is another notepad cover design I created.

The sentiment (author unknown) is a custom made stamp from RubberStamps.net.  The image is an Art Impressions stamp called “Earl.”   I stamped the sentiment and image on white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers (club and ball: C4, C2, YG97; hair: W5, W7; face: E50, E53, E71; clothes: E15, E17, E18, E19, E53, E55, E57, E59, E44, E47, E49, C4).

The cover was made with white card stock.  Then I created a decorative panel and adhered it to the front.  The plaid card stock is by 7 Gypsies from the Antiquaries Postale Collection: Post (Stock Number: 19429).  The solid card stock is Gina K Charcoal Brown, Bazzill Burning Umber, and Co’re dinations Chocolate Mousse.

The Jr. Legal Pad (5″ x 8″) was purchased at Staples.

Nativity Lantern

Nativity Lantern zDSCN7100

This lantern is a Christmas version of a lantern I previously posted.  It was made from a kit from svgcuts call Crisp Days of Fall SVG Kit.  The kit contains the cut files to make this lantern with fall leaves, but also provided is a plain panel to which you can add your own design so it can be made for a variety of occasions.  I used the plain panel and added the nativity scene to it.  I made a bunch of these lanterns (with permission from svgcuts) for the Rolling Green Holiday Boutique, and they were big sellers!

The nativity panel I used for this project was a cut file I purchased from the Silhouette store called Nativity Luminary (#53021) by Lori Whitlock.  The nativity scene for her luminary is in a square panel, so I needed to adapt it slightly to fit in this lantern panel.  (I purchased a commercial license directly from Lori Whitlock’s site for this file.)  Here is her luminary:

I used metallic bronze card stock  (Recollections) and vellum for this project.  Once all of the pieces were cut out by my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine, I assembled and glued everything together. A battery operated tea light placed inside makes the lantern glow.  (Don’t use a real candle!!!)

SVGCuts has a great tutorial video to help with assembly of this project.  (HERE  is the You Tube video link for this project tutorial, or you can watch it on their site as well.)

In addition to the nativity theme, I also made one with snowflakes which are from the “extras” file from the “Christmas Box Cards” SVG kit by svgcuts.

I Play In The Low 80’s… Jr. Legal Pad Cover

I Play In The Low 80’s… Jr. Legal Pad Cover

Here is another golf-themed notepad cover design I created.

The sentiment is a quote that I found online by comedian Joe E. Lewis , and I used it to create a custom made stamp from RubberStamps.net.  The image is an Art Impressions stamp called “Goldie Golfer.”  I stamped the sentiment and image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers (hair: E50, E42, E43 and E44; skin: E50, E53, E71 and E04; clothes: BG15, Y21, Y23, and Y11; golf club and glasses: C4) and a Sakura clear glitter pen.  The grass was stamped with Gina K Grass Green ink with a stamp from the “Work of Art” set from Stampin’ Up.

The cover was made with white card stock.  Then I created a decorative panel and adhered it to the front.  The argyle patterned paper is called “Summer Argyle” from the “Golf Collection” line by Adorn It – Carolee’s Creations.  I also used Gina K Sweet Corn and Turquoise Sea card stock.

I paper pieced her shirt.  I needed a smaller print than what was on the patterned paper since the shirt was so small so I scanned the paper and used the Silhouette software to create a “fill pattern” for the cut file I created of the shirt.

I have boxes of ribbon but never seem to have the right color when trying to finish off my projects!  I recently purchased the Alison’s Ribbons die plate by Cheery Lynn Designs and was able to create a faux ribbon with the card stock I used.  A perfect match!

Manipulate the Data… Jr. Legal Pad Cover

Manipulate the Data… Jr. Legal Pad Cover

uvDSCN6151

Here is another notepad cover design I created.

The golfer is a stamp from a set called “Gordon Golfer” (sku#4325), and the sentiment is called “Manipulate the Data” (sku# F2623).  Both are by Art Impressions.  I stamped the sentiment and image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers (hair: C5; skin: E50, E53, and E71; socks and shoes: BV02, BV08, C2, and C4; club: C4 and BV08).  The grass is a stamp called “Easy Grass Background” by DRS Designs and was stamped with Gina K Moonlit Fog.

The cover was made with white card stock.  Then I created a decorative panel and adhered it to the front.  The multi-colored card stock is called “Easygoing” (item #2003) from the “happy-go-lucky” line by Fancy Pants Designs.  The purple plaid card stock is by Kite Tails Designs called “Dart Board” (item: 12-101) from the “Man Cave” collection.  I also used Gina K Edible Eggplant and Stampin’ Up Pistachio Pudding card stock.

I paper pieced his pants, hat and shirt.  I needed a smaller print (than what was on the patterned paper) for the pants and hat since they were so small so I scanned the paper and used the Silhouette software to create a “fill pattern” for the cut files I created.  For the shirt, I used the dropper in the “Fill Color” window and got the color from a spot on the pattern I used for the pants and hat.  I then added a little extra color with Copic G21.

Here is another notepad cover design I created.

The sentiment is adapted from a quote by professional golfer, Sam Snead, and I used it to create a custom made stamp from RubberStamps.net.  (I believe his original quote started with, “You have just one problem…”)  The image is an Art Impressions stamp called “Vera.”  I stamped the sentiment and image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers (hair: E71, E74 and C2; skin: E50, and E31; clothes: BG18, BG15, BG10, E79, E71, E74, and C2; golf bag and clubs: BG18, C4. C2. E71, E74, and E77; grass: BG13).

The cover was made with white card stock.  Then I created a decorative panel and adhered it to the front.  The plaid card stock is called “Suave” from the “A Boy’s Life” line (item #BL25003) by echo park paper co.  The brown polka dotted card stock is by My Mind’s Eye and is the back side of the “So Sophie “We Are Family” Floral Swirl Paper.”  I also used Gina K Ocean Mist and Charcoal Brown card stock.
