Paper Crafts

Celebrating Cocoa Daisy’s Brand New Website!

BlogHop

To celebrate Cocoa Daisy's website relaunch, they are having a big blog hop and giveaway!

"Cocoa Daisy has done some remodeling and updating, making our home a place you want to be. Drop in and see how our scrapbook home is your scrapbook home too."

If you'd like to start the hop at the beginning, start HERE.  Each blog is offering a $10 gift certificate to Cocoa Daisy!   So there are a ton of chances to win!  

I am a proud Cocoa Daisy kit subscriber.  It is the only kit subscription that I have.  Truth be told I rarely use the kit "as is."  But I like getting a box full of brand new paper crafting goodies each month and I pull it apart and integrate it into my stash to use.  Christine (owner of Cocoa Daisy) is one of the nicest and most genuine people on earth.  

Christmas Photo 2011 version 2

She and her two boys and their dog live in Michigan.  Christine was a long time Cocoa Daisy design team member and recently purchased the kit club from the founding owner.  She is working hard to put her own "Christine" spin on things.  I know that I've said this before, but I think it's vitally important to support small businesses you like and artists who are generous and community minded.  That's how we continue to make the craft-o-sphere a lovely place to be!  

For the relaunch, Christine asked each of us to design a card sketch.  Ack!  Cards are my nemesis.  But I sat down to think about how I might make a card work for me and I came up with this sketch:

CardSketch-sm

I put the focus more on surface design and less on the arrangement of the elements.  And lo and behold, it worked! I ended up making three cards based on the sketch. 

3Cards-sm

These took me no time at all and I think I could have made about one hundred more!  This sketch (which focuses more on an overall surface design pattern) really works for my style of creating.  And hopefully it will work for your style of creating too!

Here's a peek at all three cards up close and personal:

ColorfulHappyBirthday-sm

I used acrylic paint and then outlined each shape with a black pen.

ColorfulHappyBirthday-sm

The sentiment is stamped with my current favorite alphabet stamp set.

ColorfulHappyBirthday-sm

For this card I stenciled the feathers across the front of the card.  I used the 6×6 version of the Balzer Designs Peacock Feathers stencil.

ColorfulHappyBirthday-sm

You can see that my stenciling isn't perfect.  There are spots where I used too much paint and a few places where I stuck my finger in it, etc.  Perfection is way overrated.  I embrace the hand made qualities of this card!

ColorfulHappyBirthday-sm

This is actually the first of the three cards that I made.  Tone-on-tone was the first thing that came to mind when I sat down to work on the sketch.  I'm thinking of this as a wedding card.

ColorfulHappyBirthday-sm

I purposely put the banner on a bit askew.  And I added some foam adhesive under the pointy tips to get a bit of a shadow under the banner, which creates some separation from the background.

I hope you feel inspired by the sketch to create something!

If you'd like to win a $10 gift certificate to Cocoa Daisy, all you have to do is leave your answer to the following question in the comments section:

What small business or artist have you supported recently?

Cocoa Daisy is also offering a couple of promotions for new subscribers:

  • I actually “supported” two small business artist’s online shops this month. I bought an inspiration journal (with a fab cloth cover) from Donna Downey and I purchased four of your new stencils from Christy Tomlinson. In the not small business online shop category I purchased two 6×6 paper pads, several 12×12 papers, and some embellishments from Two Peas and bought a copy of L.K. Ludwig’s “Creative Wildfire” book from Amazon. Thanks for the opportunity to be entered into the drawing.

  • I love the card sketch. Like you, cards are my nemesis but I think I could make these work.
    What kind of paper did you use as a base? Looks like it holds up to painting without warping.
    I support my LSS, The Paperie. http://thepaperie.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/march-club-kit-sneak-peek/
    Everyone there is lovely, great classes and they can order in whatever my little heart desires.

  • Earlier this week, I needed a teflon craft mat, and decided to go to a mom & pop stamp store – had to drive a LONG way to do it, but did so while I was on my way somewhere else for another purpose. Ended up buying several things I “needed” – then went to another stamp store in my destination city because I was so pumped after the first one. Love supporting independent business people!

Ended up buying several things I “needed” – then went to another stamp store in my destination city because I was so pumped after the first one. Love supporting independent business people!

  • Earlier this week, I needed a teflon craft mat, and decided to go to a mom & pop stamp store – had to drive a LONG way to do it, but did so while I was on my way somewhere else for another purpose. Ended up buying several things I “needed” – then went to another stamp store in my destination city because I was so pumped after the first one. Love supporting independent business people!

  • Wow something happened and my comment disappeared before I entered the capcha. Oh well. I was saying that this is a very important subject to blog about. I really miss all the brick and mortar shops that sold things like hand painted pots and hand sewn children’s clothes.
    I haven’t bought anything from an artist in a while. I haven’t been able to fit it into my budget. I bought a 4 by 6 print of the Brooklyn Bridge from an Etsy street Fair but that was summer 2011. I do support small businesses like “The Ink Pad” here in NYC- mostly because I’m worried they will close and I will miss browsing and being able to touch things before I purchase them.

  • Love your encouragement to support small business! I’m new to the crafting world but support local small businesses every Friday morning by taking my son to a local drum shop for lessons (also buy all his gear from them) and while he takes lessons I’m down the street in the local coffee/bakery shop : ) Frequently while I enjoy a cup of coffee and a scone, I check out your blog. My favorites are your art journaling…you are an inspiration! The idea of ruin and rescue is so creatively freeing. Thanks!

    I’m actually a Cocoa Daisy subscriber myself, so that’s one way I support small business. I’ve also ordered from an Etsy store by Tessa Buys more than once, and I am currently taking a class from Shimelle Laine and Elsie Larson. Small businesses are awesome!
    Thank you for the chance to win!

    Julie, how did you make the white card? is it dry embossed or cut and pasted? Great cards!

    As for supporting small business, I am all for it! From a scrappy perspective, that would be my LSS. We are fortunate to have a nice one and I am always in fear they will shut down on me!! Mostly, I shop locally if I can. The nearest mall is 1 1/2 hours away so its not as hard as it might seem…lol!
