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.

A traditional layout, and then, of course…

…A few cards!

Be Brave

Posted on May 16, 2014 by justtyra

Hello! I’m here to share a fun card I created for Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking’s Galley Idol 2014. I’m far into watching American Idol (Go Caleb! Go Jena!) so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to get in on the fun!

Here are one of the cards I created:

I used We R Memory Keepers shape n tape washi tape for the gray decorative strips. I also used washi for all the butterflies. I used my computer and printer to create the sentiment “be brave.”

“Brave,” the song sung by Sara Bareillis and the Disney Movie by the same name served as a source of inspiration. Whenever I have the opportunity to create just for the sake of creating, I find myself using whatever song, quote or story I’m inspired by at any given moment. I’ll share more about how I channel that inspiration in a special announcement this weekend (smile).

Take care and thanks so much for stopping by!
