I Know It Was You

This photo of Bridget says it all. “I know who squirted me, and it was you.” For this fun digital layout, I used a variety of simple background paper textures, and added a few design embellishments that softly say water. I chose the Duetica DT Woodwynds font for the monogram and name. I love how this font has fun swirls. The best part is that with DT Woodwynds you can choose amount of swirls you have for each letter, so that you can create just the right look.

Sentimental Sparkle Place Setting

I am always looking for a way to add sparkle and elegance to my place settings. This is something quick and easy that you can do that says so much. Use the Duetica DT Mandolyn font, and type out sentiments that either fit your guest or your party theme. Then print them out on some nice paper, and make little scrolls with torn edges. This little trick shows how to make something so simple as a scroll of paper look absolutely elegant!

Thinking of You

Last week we had a four day weekend. After Wii and reading I decide I needed a break. So I moseyed into my craft room. I decided I would make some quick cards to refill my card stash. After a few minutes alone, my son decided he wanted to help me. I love it when I can do a craft project with him. It does not happen often enough. I used the Duetica DT Mandolyn font for the sentiment, but you could choose other more whimsical fonts like DT Piper. The card was finished off with a fun 3D flower button.

I created this layout especially for our friends at Corky’s Diner in Ladera Ranch, California. They love my niece Ava and she loves them! They always welcome her…and her messes. The digital kit has so many fun ice cream elements, and the Duetica DT Tin Whistle font really looks just like the drippy ice cream mess that little Ava seems to spread around the table and herself. So hopefully you will see this one hanging up to as proof-the customer is always right!

My youngest has gotten a real job! Soon she will be moving out on her own 🙁 I decided to make her something for her new place. She loves bling- her screen name has been “Glitter Girl” since she was in middle school, so I decided to make her a decorative mirror. I chose the beautiful Duetica DT Mandolyn font to create the artwork on the mirror. To make the monogram, I placed a transparency sheet over printed paper. Then I cut a piece of frosted contact paper about 5″ x 5″. I then lined up and ran the transparency, lettering and contact paper through my printer. Next, I cut out the lettering design with craft knife. As an alternative, if you have a digital cutter, such as Sizzix or Silhouette, you can import the image and let the machine do the fine cutting work. When letter is all cut out, remove the background contact paper. Carefully peel the lettering from transparency and place it in position on mirror tile. If desired, color in letter with Copic markers. Add Swarovski crystals to letter if desired. Adhere crystals with Zip Dry glue.

SUPPLIES:

Clean 12″ x 12″ mirror tile
Frosted contact paper
Flat Swarovski crystals in 3 sizes
Zip Dry Paper Glue
Transparency sheet
Copic markers
12″ x 12″ frame without glass

All In A Name

I can’t express enough how much I LOVE Duetica fonts! I was playing with my last name and came up with this beautiful piece. The DT Woodwynds font was perfect for my design. The delicate swirls & dots just gave me so much room to play with in making this a prized piece to hang up on my front hallway so all can see. On Kraft colored cardstock, I printed out my whole name in different sizes all over the page in a light gray. Then right smack in the center I placed the letter G, big & bold. Although you can read the last name in the background, the letter G is what is most eye catching! On the centered G, a thick layer of crackle paint was generously spread. Let dry thoroughly on its own to give the crackling ingredient time to do its job. When dried, I added some foam metal dots where the Woodwynds font dots were. Striking! I just love adding metal in my artwork! Gives it the POP I was looking for.

Driving Miss Candie

Miss Candie – that’s me, and so many days it seems my dear husband is at the wheel carting me around from place to place. He is such a good sport, that I wanted to show him how much I appreciated his love and support. What better way than with some fun wall art. For this project I used the Duetica DT Woodwynds font. With this font you are able to choose just how much the swirls embellish each letter, which makes it very fun to create with. I sent my hubby hugs and kisses by making the background XO pattern again using the DT Woodwynds font.

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Living in California we do not have the privilege of snow days! However, one day we ventured on a three hour trip to see a bit of snow. This was the first time my children got to enjoy the white stuff, and it was the perfect day! The Duetica DT Woodwynds font was also perfect to document this playful page. The swishes on the font, reflected the snowflake designs I already put down in patterned paper and embellishments!

Moments Worth Remembering

I adore this photo of my grand niece Emma Cate. Her face just lights up with personality. It reminds me of those little girl days long gone by, and how I draw upon them for inspiration (and a pick-me-up when the trials of adulthood become heavy). The Duetica DT Woodwynds font was prefect for this sentiment!  It is so easy to create beautiful sentiments with this font because you have 15 styles to mix and match!  And what a great gift idea with the holidays approaching!
