30 Days of Holidays with Xyron Advent Calendar

Merry Christmas!!! Can you believe it, we are days away from the big day? I wanted to share with you a fabulous card that will really knock the mittens off of whom ever receives this card. It is really easy I promise. So let me tell you how to make this card!!!

1. You are going to pick and choose 2 pattern papers and color of cardstock to coordinate. Cut each piece to fit your measurements.. Above I have a 5x7 card! So in the pattern paper I cut the Green at 3.5 x 6.75 and the stripe at 1.5 x 6.75. run EACh PIeCE through your XYRON Creative Station MAX!! I love this Machine!!! Peel and still and BAM!!! you are a card making DIVA!!

To cover the seam between the two I ran a piece of ribbon down the middle using some Glossy Accents to adhere it.

Now for the main attraction. The Wreath!! Super Simple and Sooo Easy to make!!!

First you want to get about a dozen of what is called " clear Wheat sprays" you can find them here at Creating with Details Store.

Take the Wheat Sprays and place them in a ziplock bag. Add several drops of Alcohol Inks in shades of green to the bag and smush around until all wheat sprays are coated. Dump out onto a paper towel an let fry for only a few mins. super fast and easy!!!

Then begin using your hot glue and bend the sprays into a wreath style as you see above, I added red jewels as berries. To Finish off the wreath you can simply glue it to the card or you can make it into a removable ornament. The Choice is yours!!!

I hope this simply and festive card gives you a new take on making wreaths for the holidays!!! You will be making tons of these!!!

Perfect Paper Crafting/Xyron Blog Hop

Hey Crafty Peeps!!! Yep I'm Back for another fabulous 6 months of Awesome projects to share with you!! This week I had the pleasure to work with my most Favorite adhesive XYRON and a awesome tool by Perfect Paper Crafting called the Perfect Airbrush! It is a no fuss approach to turning your markers into a Airbrush!! I was oober excited to work with this tool. Below is a quick mini tutorial showing what I did and how I used my Tim Holtz Markers to create this amazing FALL card!!! Before you scroll down be sure that you have begun the BLOG HOP by visiting the XYRON BLOG each day this week!!

BEGIN BLOG HOP HERE: http://aintshecrafty.blogspot.com/



Step 1: I found a free clipart image and or you can use a stamp of a tree with some leaves. I then pulled out some Fallish colors in my Tim Holtz Markers and began to play with the Perfect Airbrush. I began manually airbrushing different colors on the tree to give it that multicolored Fallish look!

Step 2: Using one of my Favorite XYRON 5" Creative Sticker Max I inked the edges of my design and ran it through to create a sticker.

Step 3: I did the same with the other elements of the card to create stickers and I used my XYRON 9" Creative Station to do so!! When you make everything into a sticker it makes is so easy to create. The adhesive is even strong enough to stick to burlap as you see below!!! Yep you can run the burlap through too!!! UMM YES!!!!

Step 4: Adding the few perfect touches of Twine and Burlap made this card perfect for FALL!! I added some Sticker letters and I was done!!!

Hello Crafty Peeps, welcome to the "Out on a Lim Scrapbooking" Blog Hop featuring Xyron

I'm so excited to bring to you a fabulous Card using the Monster Love Page Kit.

Supplies to make this card:

~The Monster Love kit
~ Xyron 9" Creative Station
~ Xyron Teresa Collins Adhesive Kit
~Xyron Mega Runner
~ Glitter ( I used Donna Salazar's Fairy Dust)
~Rhinestone Embellishments
~Black Ink
~ Clear Liquid Adhesive
~ Embossing Folder

Step 1: Pull out of the kit the Monster Love kit the Black Cardstock, the XO pattern Paper, and the Pink and Blue Pieces.

Step 2: Run the pink and blue pieces of paper through an Embossing folder of your choice. I used
Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Plaid & Snowflakes Set ( I used the Plaid Folder)

Step 3: Grab all of the Monster Parts in the kit that are pink!! Also at this time Grab out the hearts and the elements for the eyes. Pop dot the second layer of the Girl monster and adhere it to the body.

Step 4: Using the Xyron Creative Station 9", place the face of the monster upside down so that you can get adhesive on the front side of the face. This will give a perfect even adhesive for glitter.

Step: 5 Re-Run the face back through the creative station face up to create a sticker with all your pieces such as the pattern paper, the embossed papers, the eye elements and some hearts.

Step 6: Peel and stick all the piece of the Girl Monster together as you have seen above. Then peel and stick your back ground piece to the black cardstock card that has been cut to a 5x7 size. Trim down the XO pattern paper to 4 7/8 x 6 7/8.

Step 7: When you are ready to apply your Girl Monster, get the Pop Dots from the Xyron Teresa Collins Adhesive kit. These are thicker and will really make the little monster seem to jump off the page.

Step 8: Take a piece of Plain Cardstock from the kit and use your Xyron mega Runner to apply adhesive to the back and place it inside the card for the sentiment.

Step 9: Add hearts and rhinestones around the card and if you want to add some lasting touches you can use your clear adhesive and go over certain areas of the monster as you see below.

So there you have it!!! A Kit that can bring out an amazing card!!! Just think I;m left with tons of elements to make more cards!!!! I hope this has inspired you to think outside the box. And be sure to visit all of Xyron's Designers Blogs for more inspiration!!!
