Royal Kat Tuesday: 3-D Item

Welcome to another Royal Kat Tuesday! This week's challenge is to create any 3-D item.

And here's what I came up with:

Here is a close-up:

I used to make these paper fans in school when I was a kid. And I've been seeing them online being used as a round embellishment on scrapbook layouts. I originally intended to make pompoms. lol. But art cannot be tamed. And I ended up with a paper flower. Still good. *grin*

I used a combination of acrylic and rubber QKD Stamps: Cupcake Friends, Russian Dolls, Elegant Sayings.

Stampin' Saturday

Hi QKD Bloggers! Not much left of the turkey feast here in the USA. That means it's time to really start gearing up for the next holidays. Since I celebrate Christmas, I'm busy making cards, gift tags, and other craft items. Here's a card I made for my cousin. I'm partial to the QKD Russian Dolls stamp because I have two sets of the real wooden dolls made in Poland. When I work with this stamp, I just feel connected to my heritage. I paired the stamp with a sentiment from the QKD Christmas Greetings stamp set. I used both sides of 2 patterned papers from the Graphic 45 Renaissance Faire collection. The Russian Dolls stamp, Copic markers I own, and patterned paper colors went perfectly together. Don't forget to check out the QKD store. There are so many great kits and stamps there along with some fantastic sales. Penny used the Christmas Dragon stamp for her holiday tag. QKD has so many choices! Hope you have time today to settle in and scrap a lot! Helene

Stampin' Saturday

This is a quick card I made using the QKD Russian Dolls stamp set. I combined it with some "old country" trim and patterned paper.

Yesterday, Friday the 13th, I participated in the Adornit Make It Merry Blog Hop. I hope you have time to visit my blog to see what all I created using the QKD Apple Days stamp set. This is a great set to use for holiday gift tags, recipe cards, etc.

I hope you have time today to scrap a lot. Don't forget to also look for Penny's post today.

Going places

I got these self-laminating bag tags and had a little bit of fun with some of my favorite QKD Stamps.

And these are the back with my name on Dymo tape.

These are just so fun and easy to make. Think ATCs but for a practical purpose.

What I love about scrapbooking is discovering little ways we can incorporate little sources of inspiration in our daily lives.

For these bag tags, I used QKD's Russian Dolls Stamp Set, the bicycle and cat from the Ride With Me Stamp Set, the Going Postal Stamp Set, and Random Text Background Stamp.

Life layout

When I'm in a scrapping slump, I turn to movies, songs, magazines or mall window displays as inspiration.

I was watching "Rent" the other day when the theme song inspired me to make this layout:

I used Queen Kat Designs Russian Dolls Stamp and QKD Friends Forever Stamp Set as the finishing touch. Do check out all the great stamps and finds over at the QKD Store.

Have a scrappy day!
