Clique Kits Blog Share Featuring Carnival!

Posted on May 20, 2015 by justtyra

Hello It’s Tyra and today I’m finally sharing some of what I made with the Clique Kits May 2015 Kit, Carnival!

The challenge: Anything goes. Create whatever your heart desires and share!

I absolutely loved working with the May kit and I can say that it’s nearly gone!

The kraft cardstock and alpha letters featured in this month’s kit really inspired me to use more of what was once my favorite color. Kraft simply goes with everything. I’m in love with kraft again!

Amy Tangerine’s Rise and Shine patterned paper needed nothing else but a sentiment. So I used AlteNew’s Super Script set, featured in the Clique Cards Spring Edition. Speaking of the Spring card kit, I created cards from that lovely kit as well:

It’s 2015!

Posted on January 21, 2015 by justtyra

Happy New Year (better late than never, right?). I’m sorry I’ve been gone for a bit! I had a lot of holiday time off and my family and I have been trying to get back into the swing of school, homework (in kindergarten — yes, they are busy these days!), snow days and work. I also used my downtime for goal setting and working with my husband on some big exciting family plans for later this year (I’ll share as soon as I am able, promise).

In the meantime I’m glad to get back into the swing of blogging! Thank you so much for your patience! While you are here, I would love to share a few crafty updates:

Tell us or show us in a project why YOU are glad to live in a world where there are Octobers!

My Answer

Well, when I think of October, I think of rich colors, textures and warmth : ) . I hope you see this come through in the cards I created using Masquerade Ball!

Kit Haul! Sweet Stamp Shop’s On Cherry Street Kit, Part 1

Posted on September 26, 2014 by justtyra

As many of you know I design for Sweet Stamp Shop and I’m primarily a card maker, however I wanted to share today my latest haul from Sweet Stamp Shop — The Ahoy Kit from the On Cherry Street Line, a collection of paper goods (and stamps of course) for pocket style memory keeping.

It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? Check back later this weekend for a layout I created using this fun line and my thoughts on why this kit is great for card makers looking to jump back into memory keeping / scrapbooking. Thanks so much for stopping by! xo, Tyra

P.S. The Day To Day kit was just released this week! It’s next on my list 🙂

Honor Society Challenge…Wild and Free

Posted on August 20, 2014 by justtyra

Hello It’s Tyra and today I will share some of what I made with my latest Clique Kits Kit Haul . The theme is “Wild and Free” and so I thought I would create a few cards and add in a few feathers here and there. Here goes!

For you card makers out there, this kit is packed with a ton of goodness to create cards to your heart’s desire. Even the packaging is beautiful. I created the middle feather from packaging used for the wood hearts.

In the second card I reused the gold polka dot washi tape from some of the embellishment packaging for my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! xo, Tyra

Honor Society Challenge…July

Posted on July 23, 2014 by justtyra

Hello It’s Tyra and today I’m participating in the Clique Kits Honor Society July Blog Share! I enjoyed playing with the beautiful Allison Kreft papers and I managed to make a few more layouts and cards. Let’s get to the pictures, shall we?

I did something a little different with this first layout. I had a leather bound journal sitting around with several clear picture pockets. I created this journal entry and added a few embellishments. I love the way it looks and I will probably continue to journal this way when I have the chance.
