Aren't these great...talk about making a mini so darn easy. Just die cut and add it to the Nestaboard. Easy as pie!

Boardwalk Beauties & Bling

Good morning! Wow I can't believe we are already into the second week in June!! Where is the time going? With warm temperature I thought this would be a perfect time for a beach themed card.For the stamped image I used a couple of stamps from Crafty Secrets, Bathing Beauties stamp set. I add a little bit of color using Copic markers. Then I taped S4-290 Labels Fourteen die template for perfect placement and cut/embossed the shape using the Grand Calibur from Spellbinders.Then I inked the edges from Antique Linen Distress Ink and added Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Black Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™. I also added a few Baby Turquoise Rhinestones to the inside of the label.I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Caribbean Blue to color the Chipboard Embellishments - Pack of 5 - Style C. Once the chipboard was dry I added a few Baby Turquoise Rhinestones and used Beacon Adhesives 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue to adhere the chipboard to the card.For the card base I used Soot cardstock, layered with Dotted Swiss Phoenix from Discount Cardstock. The patterned paper is from Graphic45-On the Boardwalk collection.

Hugs,

Warm Welcome to Elise Durenberger!!!

One of our newest Design Team members extraordinaire.  This lovely lady is so very talented and we are very pleased to welcome her to our team! 

WELCOME ELISE!!!!

Elise is not only talented but her personality is HIlarious to boot! I know you will enjoy seeing her future posts and sharing her take on all things creative! 
So let’s get to know Elise a little better!

Elise has been avidly paper crafting for the past decade.  With a lifetime of creative pursuits fueling her passion, her foundation is in Fine Art.  She earned a degree in Art Studio from the University of California, Davis, and continues to paint and draw in addition to paper craft.  Completely transformed by the Blog-World, Elise's joy has been increased exponentially by participating in paper craft challenges, publication calls, design team cooperation, and friendships. All cemented from the common experience of the "Blog." 
When she isn't playing with all things paper, ink and embellishments, she's joyfully married to the love of her life. Elise is always inspired and smitten by her two babies {okay, they are 9 & 13 years young - but to a mother: ALWAYS babies!} as well as her four-legged babies - horses, dogs, cat & one truly ancient cow!   Living the "ranch life" in Sonoma County, California (the culmination of her life's dream) feels pretty darn good.  Mix in paper and some bling - Life is EXCELLENT!
"I'm so honored to have the opportunity to design with products from Want2Scrap!   The name of the company says it all, but as I was discussing with a friend recently, the term "scrap" means SO much more than it used to.  I'm looking forward to adding Want2Scrap's unique and oh so creatively inspirational products into every area of my crafting!  From the bejeweled self adhesive line of pearls and rhinestones to the fantastic chipboard, acrylic albums, and die-cuts, I'm going to be ONE busy crafty chick. Fortunately, there's not much in my life that wouldn't benefit from a lil' more BLING. So I say. . .  BLING IT ONNNNN!  Yee HAW!"
Here are a few samples of Elise’s beautiful projects!! 
 


You can also find Elise at her blog Mama Cow Creations.  Stop by and say “Hi” if you have a chance.
Thank you so much Elise for joining our team and we can’t wait to see your projects using Want2Scrap products!!!
