Melly Art Creates All the Things

  I had such a blast creating this layout. I used cougar white from cutcardstock, as the background and used Shimmerez Paints for the black and yellow splatters behind the bee wreath - from Jenny Wren Cut Files.  Combining it with another cutfile - Collecting Flowers, all cut on Cougar White cardstock as well.  They seemed to go with these photos perfecting and i couldn't decided which one to use, so i used both!  I also added some stitching in black around the layout, before adding anything else to page.    For the collecting flowers file, i did cut on white cardstock, however i used Mustard Seed and inked the entire cut file, it matched the flowers so well, and it made that file really pop out against the white.  I used some black pearl embellishments as the flower centers around the wreath, and added some black nuvo to bring it all together.  Adding some paper flowers and pearl elements, with a lovely spattering of sequins for some sparkle. ...

             For this weeks project I went with a simple layout.  I used Cougar White for the background, adding some red inking using Tim Holtz Festive Berries, Candied Apple, and Lumberjack Plaid.  Creating some splatters as well using Shimmerz Coloringz in Black and Cotton Candy.  I used a cutfile I cut out in Black , and the Metallic Crystal to cut the title in.  Adding stitching in red around the border.        I kept the embellishments simple, I wanted the cutfile and the inking to pop out.  So i used white embellishments, paper flowers, acrylic hearts, some sequins, and of course some Nuvo drops.                                                      Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Crafting.  

    Happy Friday!  Im sharing another card from Dreaming Tree.  Using Cougar White, Fruit Punch, Jupiter, Onyx, and Flame from CutCardstock.  This one is a bit silly, but very cute, a little more limited in its use, but good for a just because, who doesn't like a silly card now and again.       I kept this pretty simple, adding some stickles on the sentiment, i like letting the metallic and shimmer card stocks to sparkle.                                                                                                                                Happy Crafting!

Happy Friday!  I am sharing another card from Dreaming Tree , using metallic reds and pinks from Cutcardstock.com .  This is also a valentines day card, but could be used as an anniversary card, a just because card, so many uses!  I kept this one simple, popping up the inside hearts, using some silver glitter, and adding some Nuvo drops to the outside band.  The space to write is a little more condensed to the hearts, however I always like to write on a separate sheet of paper, allowing the card to be displayed or even reused by the recipient.                                                                      Happy Crafting!

    Good Morning!   I am sharing my first February project for Twilight Crafts and Crop .  I am using the "Butterfly" Cut file from Jenny Wren, along with the Bloom Street collection.  I love these files, they cut beautifully, and the borders are a little bigger than most cut files, making it easier, for me, to back or make shaker elements from.  This one I backed and added foam tape all over the back to pop it up.  Also adding thicker foam tape to the photo so it lays on top of the cut file. I kept this page very simple, I always want my cut file and or photos to be the focus and pop out from the rest of the page.  I used some epoxy flair from ScrappinHappyStudio, black thickers and nuvo drops, along with some green splatters and sequins for all the sparkle.  Adding just a few paper flowers.  I love the final look of this layout..                          ...

  Good Morning!  Back with another project for A Cut Above.  This month I created this beautiful card from Dreaming Tree using glitter cardstock and Cougar White from CutCardstock .  This was very simple and turned out beautiful. I decided to keep this simple to highlight the glitter aspects, however lots of different things would work for this card: sequins, nuvo, flair, flowers, additional hearts, lots of layer can be added to it as well.  Doesn't have to be for valentines day, this can be used as an anniversary card, or just an everyday I love you card to make anyone feel special.                                                                             ...

Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing this Lovely little, very versatile, card.  I love to find cards that are meant for one thing and creating them for something totally different.  This is originally made for Valentines Day, but this can be used as anything.  Created in lots of different color combinations, and given for just about any occasion, or as a just because card.       The card itself is from Dreaming Tree , I kept it in its original colors, Metallic Aquamarine, Crystal, Amethyst, Jupiter, Silver and silver Glitter cardstock from  CutCardStock .  I love gatefold cards, and this one has a little added detail of a band to keep it closed.  I added some Ruby Slipper Nuvo Glitter Drops to the inside sentiment, cause I love all the sparkles. Leaving plenty of room for you to write in.  Superr easy and simple to put together and dress up for any occasion.                 ...

    I stitched this snowflake months ago, waiting for the perfect photos.  I decided to use it with photos of my niece, her first sled ride!  She LOVED it.  She was giggling, and smiling.. so precious!   I kept the embellishments to a minimum, took me a week to stitch this, i want it front and center lol      This is my best friends little boy, they took him to an arcade.. out of respect for his momma I kept his face covered.. but he was the sweetest look of just "Awe" on his little face.  I used some cut files backed with simple red cardstock, and used a combination of Cocoa Vanilla Studio boy collections, with some Nuvo Stone drops.           This baby girl was napping with her little thumb in her mouth and it just screamed to be scrapbooked.  She is so precious!  I used Cocoa Vanilla Studio Midnight to back a cut file, an additional cut file for the title and some pretty butterfli...

 Good Morning!   I am sharing a little spring layout, its been awfully cold I needed a little warm today.   I created this layout using Cougar White from CutCardstock.com both as the background, splattered with some green and pink, and also used to cut the cut file from Jenny Wren, that I inked with Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn, and made into a shaker element.     The little bunnies on this, I had a 12x12 sheet paper I had found years ago at a retreat, and fussy cut them all out.  They were perfect for this layout of some of the veggies and flowers I had in my garden this past year. Adding some watermelon sequins on for a little sparkle.                                                                                 ...

 Good Morning!  I'm up today with my second project this month for Twilight Crafts , using the adorable Paw Print Mini Book cut file from Jenny Wren .          There are so many ways this file can be used!  I went with a simple way, adding a shaker page in the middle, cause why not?!   I used a binder clip to keep together but there are lots of ways to keep this together.  Below are LOTS of photos!  One set of the book together, and a set of each page.  Enjoy.              Lets get a little closer on these pages, isnt he the cutest little guy? Of course we need close ups!  Along with the Jenny Wren cutfile I used the Happy Pup mini collection from Scrappin Happy Studio and a flair set from her as well.  The solid colors are Lagoon, Fairway,Onyx, and Flame from CutCardstock .  All the little silhouettes of dachshunds I created years and years ago,...
