Valentines at Craft Project Central

Welcome Stampin' Friends!  

Check out these fun Valentine Projects on Craft Project Central made ME and my fellow design team members.  

Here are the fun burlap Valentine projects I created.  

A "sweet love" banner on burlap pennants. 

And a framed art piece with a burlap background: 

The look of burlap has become quite popular for home decor.  These two fun Valentine projects will bring the shabby chick look of burlap to your decor.  Each pennant on the "sweet love" banner is burlap with designer paper stitched on top.  Accents of glittered hearts, dyed ribbon and paper flowers finish off the banner.  The framed Amore art piece really pops with rolled paper roses.  These two coordinating decor pieces would really show someone how special they are to you or would be a great addition to your own decor this Valentine’s Day!  Visit Craft Project Central to get the tutorial for these two projects.  

Leave me a comment and you could win a FREE subscription for the month of January at Craft Project Central!!! I will announce the winner on Monday the 28th.  

Now, look at what my fellow deisgners created for this month...

"More Amore" Valentine Ensemble! For a co-worker, friend, neighbor, or someone extra special, this Valentine ensemble is sure to please. The heart-shaped pocket, filled with a cute little bookmark, and perhaps a gift card, make a great treat to hand-deliver or it can be left in a place to be discovered by the recipient. Either way, it will brighten someone’s day! Don’t forget to sign the over sized greeting card, which coordinates perfectly with the ensemble!

My Craft Project Central Creation for October

Welcome Stampin' Friends! 

This week on CPC, I get to share my creation with you!  I am so excited about these cards.  I have been doing a lot of stamping lately with my kids, holding a kids stamp camp every month.  My kids love it and I love sharing my passion with them.  So, that was part of the inspiration behind these cards.  The main inspiration came from a page of a catalog my husband tore out and gave to me.  It was a picture of backpacks, he said..."I wonder if you could make cards that look like these."  Well, I took that as a personal challenge!  

Introducing....

Little Critter Cards

Share your love of paper crafting with children with these adorable Little Critter Cards.  You can make them for the little ones in your life or, even better, make them with the little ones in life.  Each of the Little Critter cards is are easy to make with little or not help from an adult.  The child who receives one of these cards will certainly smile.  And the sense of satisfaction at making something is something that will stay with a child for a long time to come.  What a fun kids class these cards would make!

To get the tutorial to make these cards visit Craft Project Central and subscribe to October!  Not only will you get my tutorial but you will also get 9 others for amazing ensembles of paper crafts.  Here are two other tutorials that were released this week...
