added to act as a handle to hold the mask.  Rhinestones were added along stringers.

Making Christmas Cards Special with Quick Quotes!

Hi, Connie here with a couple of  Christmas cards using the new Holly Jolly Holiday Collection by Quick Quotes and just for fun, I printed out some Christmas cards, using a vintage photo, from my iP8720 Canon Printer.  Really happy with the results!

The card design is pretty simple.  Mat coordinating pattern paper to the cardstock base.  Shade with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks (listed below).  Add a smaller piece of coordinating pattern paper to the card front, shade with the chalk inks and adhere to card front.  Mat die cut image on cardstock and adhere.

Stamp sentiment, using Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink, on cardstock and trim out.  Adhere to card front.  Add twine and small wooden embellishments.  The wooden embellishments are colored with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks.  Colors beautifully!!!

I wanted to put a photo inside the card, so I came up with this (with the help of the iP8720 Canon Printer) ~

I got to playing around with the Image Garden (program that comes with the iP8720 Canon Printer) and made a card to go inside the created card.

I printed it in Gray ink on 4"x6" Canon photo paper.   Very easy and love the look!!!
Then I tried printing a vintage photo on cardstock ~

The trick on this one is to flip the photo (as shown in the top photo).  The cardstock size is 4"x10".  You will have a small margin
of paper to trim off.

I think certain family members will love these cards, so I will be printing more. 

Supply list:
Quick Quotes: Holly Jolly Holiday Collection
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Desert Sun, Barn Board, Cactus, Vanilla Cream and Midnight Confessions.
other:
iP8720 Canon Printer
Canon photo paper/High Gloss
Beacon 527
Stamps: Joy Clair and Darkroom Door

Clear Scraps~Printer Tray Frame, Christmas style!!

Hi, Connie here with a really fun Christmas project.  You will need the Printer Tray Frame by Clear Scraps.  They have several different designs, this can be created with any design ~ so just pick your favorite!  You will also need some festive chipboard pieces for the Printer Tray spaces.    Get some paint, glue, photo, pattern paper and you are ready to create a Christmas themed Printer Tray.


Instructions:
1. Paint the top frame with acyclic paint.  I went with a Hunter green (really dark green).  Let dry. 
2. Gather the chipboard pieces that will go in the spaces of the Printer s Tray and lay them out.

Designers note ~ When I picked up my frame to paint , I flipped it making my design wrong (what photo shows) so I just went with it.  No biggie!!!! 

4. The next step is embossing the chipboard embellishments.  (Stars and lamp post).
5. The holly and 2 hanging ornaments were painted with acrylic paint.  Set aside while back frame is prepared.
6. Cover back of frame with pattern paper and glue on frames thus creating the open Printer Tray.  The acrylic frame cover was not used for this project.  (Makes a great acrylic scrapbook page for later.



7. Add prepared embellishments to each section on the Printer Tray.  Use a strong wet glue (supply list below).
8. Speckle with white acrylic paint, when all sections are filled in.  I use an old toothbrush and water down the paint.  Works great!!
9. Add photo last.

Clear Scraps: 12" Small Rectangles Printer Tray

Fall Fun with Quick Quotes!

Hi, Connie here with a Pumpkin inspired scrapbook page using Autumn Brilliance by Quick Quotes.  The photos were grouped by using the My Image Garden by Canon.  It comes with the iP8720 Canon Printer that I will be printing from.

I love scrapping the entire event on one page.  Sometimes it is to much but doing it this way I still get all the photo frames and cute faces all on one page.

The photos were grouped on 8x10 photo paper by Canon and printed out.  They were cut into photo strips and mounted on grey paper from the Autumn Brilliance collection.  The Image Garden program allows you to zoom in or zoom out, to catch cute moments that are in the photos.

Some of the pictures in these frames are close up images from the picture.  I really thought that was a super cool feature.  I loved that I was able to single out a cute face picture and the finger pointing to the sky.

The focal photo was printed out as a 4x6 and then matted with the grey paper from the Autumn Brilliance collection.

The embellishments were stamped out using Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks.
Supplies used:
Quick Quotes: Autumn Brilliance collection
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Cool Grey, Kokomo, Midnight Confessions and Vanilla Cream
other:
Canon iP8720 printer and photo paper
Stamps: Lawn Fawn and Darkroom Door
Scrapbook Adhesives/foam squares
Alcohol markers
stickers

Tractor Time with Quick Quotes~

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using the Secret Garden Collection by Quick Quotes.  The collection is full of bright and colorful paper designs, some bold and some soft.  I like the combination of both in a collection.

The photos are about a 3"x 3".  You can collage them on a 8" x 10" sheet of Canon Pro Platinum and print them out.  I used my Canon iP8720 printer for this.

The embellishments are created using stamps and Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk ink. 

I stamped the images, on white cardstock, and then, using a Q-tip, colored in the images with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks.  Trim each image out and they are ready to add to your scrapbook page.

Layer papers in the center of your page, add the photos and then decorate with the stamped images.
Title your page.  The letter stickers are colored with Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks.  Makes it so easy to have the color you need for your title.

Supplies used:
Quick Quotes: Secret Garden Collection (coming soon)
Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalk inks: Kokomo, Midnight Confessions, Cool Gray, Feather Gray 
Lipstick, Buttercup and Cactus.
Canon Pro Platinum 8" X 10" photo paper
