SUPPLY LIST

DCWVEmbossed White Stack

DCWV Two-Tone Solid Cardstock

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon and Seedless Preserves

Ink Blender Tool

Flower Embellishment

Chipboard Letters

Ruler

Scissors or Paper Cutter

Glue or Double Sided Tape and Hot Glue

Spray Bottle and Paper Towel

 

Grab your DCWV Embossed White Stack and find this floral sheet. Using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon and Seedless Preserves, blend theses colors around a 7” x 8” area. 

Spritz some water on the paper and let sit for a few seconds, then blot with a paper towel. Repeat this again. 

With your blender tool, and the same distress inks, lightly add more color to the sheet. Make sure you do this lightly so the color only transfers to the raised design on the paper. This will give a little more definition and make the print more visible.

Set this aside to dry.

Find a solid color cardstock that coordinates with your inks. I chose a 2 tone cardstock from DCWV. The other side of this paper is a different shade.

Cut a 7” x 10” piece, and fold it in half.

On the front of the card, measure in 1/8” on the 3 sides. Using scissors or a paper cutter, cut off those 1/8” strips. 

If done correctly, once you fold the card, you will see the second color shade from the other side of the paper. This will give a border effect to the card. 

Cut a piece from your embossed floral sheet. The dimensions will vary, depending on the cut of your card base. I measured my piece so it will be constantly 1/8” smaller on all sides. 

Secure this piece to the card using glue or double sided tape. 

Grab some chipboard letters. I had these darling DCWV Polka Dot letters in my craft stash, but they were silver in color. I wanted them gold, so I grabbed my metallic gold spray paint and sprayed them. If you paint your chipboard, make sure they are completely dry before handling them.

Once you are ready, secure them to the card, centered horizontally. I used a ruler to make sure I applied them straight. 

Since the embossed paper I used was a floral print, I wanted to add some flowers to the card.

I dabbed this white flower on the distress ink pads to get a little coordinating color on them. I then hot glued them to the bottom right corner of the card. 

Now you have your finished card!

Copper Celebrate Card

I love metal.

So, of course I fell in love with the new DCWV Classy Copper Stack!

This paper stack has just the right amount of copper pages, prints and fun tag cut outs, you don't really need any other paper to craft a darling card!

I made this birthday card with just a few of the amazing pages from this stack, and for a bit of color I just added some paint to the floral metallic page and used as the card base.

Inside I cut out a tag and some fun copper metal shapes.

Jeri Vann Creations Projects for the DCWV Booth at CHA 2016

I was lucky enough to have a couple of my projects displayed in the DCWV Booth at CHA 2016 in Anaheim this month.

I also got to play with some of the newest, and cutest products!

A fun, new, and completely customize-able product is the DCWV Life Bok.

It comes with a bunch of pages for notes, fill ins, and calendar.

I had my darling niece fill it out, all about her life and loves.

I also added some pictures that I had taken of her a few days before.

Next up, I created this Guitar Layout using the new Glam Rock Stack.

Again, this is a fun picture I took of my niece and her pink guitar. The Glam Rock stack had the perfect colors, prints and wording for this layout.

Here is my Emerald Garden Card, made with the Emerald Garden Stack. I love this stack! The colors are all of the green shades I love, along with metallics.

And lastly, here is an accessory hanger I made with the Magnolia Way Stack. I fussy cut a ton of darling butterflies from the stack and placed them all around the accessory hanger for added effect.

Mercury Glass Holiday Gift Card Holders

Being on the DCWV Guest Designer Team is just incredible. 

I get to work with some of the most incredible new products. 

In my latest shipment, I received this gorgeous DCWV Mercury Glass Paper. It comes with 4 different shades.

The sheets of paper are thick, durable and perfectly metallic.

...and of course they made my Holiday Gift Card Holders absolutely magnificent!

For the back of the card, I spray painted a chipboard frame and hot glued a cut piece of the DCWV Insta Photo Fun plastic sheet. It made a perfect pocket for the gift card.

I also tied on a Blue Moon Bead Jingle Bell Charm.

These glittery flowers from the Dollar Tree look amazing on the front of the card, and matched the Mercury Glass paper perfectly.
