The Places You'll Go

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. For Father's Day, my kids made books for my husband using a Tinyme printable (this site has some cute printables). If you follow me on Instagram (@jocelyn_olson), I shared a funny drawing my son drew. :)

Anyhoo, I'm up on the Maya Road blog today talking about three different styles of embellished cards. Here is one:

This card was a product sample for Maya Road, and I needed to use the necklace. The chain is long, and it's a heavy necklace, so this card took a bit of engineering to attach the necklace. I put the long necklace chain in the Maya Road Linen Treasure Bag and ran a few stitches through it. These bags are great for giving small presents are party favors (wouldn't it be cute for a pirate party?).

The cute Camera Clip was altered using gold liquid gilding...I'm addicted to gilding things! I used Crate Paper's Journey collection.

I have two other cards on the Maya Road blog. I hope you'll swing by and check them out!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Go and Do Amazing Things

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week!

It's day 4 of Neat & Tangled's release week! Today we're sharing projects using the Origami Map stamp set, which was designed by Miriam Prantner. Danielle is sharing pictures of the set on the Neat & Tangled blog.

This set is fun and very versatile! Here's what I made:

This card took time, but it was pretty easy to make. I stamped the Origami Map, got out a bunch of Copics, and started coloring. I skipped the shading--otherwise, I'd probably still be coloring. ;) Once I was done, I fussy cut the map and trimmed off the edge.

The sentiment and airplane are also from the Origami Map set. I stamped them on the MME Just Sayin' paper:

Since the map had so many colors and is graphic, I decided to keep the card pretty CAS.

There's a giveaway! Comment on the Neat & Tangled blog to win the Origami Map stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!
