My Creative Time 67th Edition Release Blog Hop

May 19, 2017May 18, 2017audreypettit 31 Comments

Welcome to the My Creative Time 67th Edition Release Blog Hop! Today is a happy day, because finally it’s release day for all of the wonderful products you’ve been seeing in the sneak peeks throughout this past week. I am so excited to be joining in on the fun with a special guest project. You should have arrived from Teri Beri’s blog, but if you’ve gotten lost anywhere along the way, you can start back at the My Creative Time blog.

My card for today features the adorable Sea You Soon stamp and die set, along with the fabulous new Scalloped Stitched Square Dies, in a sweet little nautical friendship design.

I am just smitten with the cute critters from Sea You Soon. These little guys were watercolored and die cut with the matching dies and added to an underwater scene that was pieced from the scalloped square dies. The sentiment from the set was stamped onto a circle die cut from the previously released Bunch of Fun Circle Dies. The paper is from the You & Me collection by Simple Stories.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Next stop along the hop is Erica .

And here’s more information for you about today’s release.

Amazing Mom with Photo Play Paper

May 5, 2017May 5, 2017audreypettit 10 Comments

Recently Photo Play Paper asked me to go back into the archives to create a couple of Mother’s Day cards featuring one of their very first collections ever, Family Ties. Last week I shared the first card with gift card holder (click here for that post), and today I’m happy to be here with the second.

Family Ties was really a bit of a unique collection in that it included papers, journaling cards, and stickers for all the different family members. And of course since this is a Mother’s Day card, I used a mix of the girly elements here.

Love this beautiful Mother journaling card, and it sure makes card designs easy. A few layers of patterned papers, with foam adhesive between for dimension, and some beautiful rose cardstock stickers. I cut a bit of paper for photo corners. Finished off with enamel dots, too.

I love the navy in this collection. That mixed with orange is one of my all-time favorite color combos. A reminder that summer is on its way.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Creativation 2017- The World to Me with Therm O Web

January 27, 2017January 27, 2017audreypettit 14 Comments

Hi Friends! Happy Friday!

Today I have another Creativation CHA project to share with you. This time, a card and tag set I made for Therm O Web using a brand new product to the deco foil line up, Gel Transfer Medium.

If you’ve been following deco foil along the years, you know that there are many different ways to apply the foil sheets, and that foil works great on paper, fabric, and just about any surface under the sun.

Now Therm O Web has come out with yet another way to utilize the foil, and I think this may be my favorite way yet. The new Gel Transfer Medium works somewhat like texture paste, and allows you to add foil using all your favorite stencils. How cool is that?

Simply apply the Gel Medium to paper using a palette knife and stencil, just like you would a regular texture paste. Allow the gel to dry, cover the pattern with a sheet of foil, and run it through a laminator to set. Works with any stencil, and how cool to find a new way to use supplies you may already have on hand.

I pulled out a couple of my favorite old Hero Arts BasicGrey stencils for my projects. The You & Me Simple Set from Simple Stories, and a few old goodies from BasicGrey.

The new Gel Transfer Medium will be available in March. And in the mean time, you can check out the full tutorial on these projects on the Therm O Web blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Weekend!

Keeping Warm with Therm O Web

Happy Wednesday, Friends!

It seems like once Halloween is over, time just has a way of gathering momentum and zipping by. The holidays will be here before we know it. And if you are already feeling short on time, and are looking for holiday gift giving ideas, then be sure to stop by the Therm O Web blog. All month long, the team has tons of quick, easy, last-minute, and do-able projects to share with you.

I don’t know about you, but that sweet little snowman face kinda melts my heart a bit. Love snowmen for the holidays, and all winter long, too. Such a fun way to add some cheer in the cold winter months. And better yet, this easy, no-sew project can be completed in under 15 minutes. A definitely plus when the rush of the holidays begin.

I tend to grab up wooden frames whenever I get the chance, and keep them on hand for last minute project ideas like this. They’re usually readily available at second-hand stores for just a few cents, or can be found unfinished at your big box craft stores for very little cost, too. Then just remove the glass and add your favorite papers and embellishments. This is the Snow Patrol collection by Simple Stories and sequins by 28 Lilac Lane, and an adorable Therm O Web fleece snowman.

I added vintage buttons and a big carrot nose. A little hand-stitching for the mouth. Therm O Web Fabric Fuse tape easily keeps fabric, even thick fleece like this, in place. I’ve got the full step-by-step tutorial for this project up on the Therm O Web blog, if you’d like to learn more.

Or, you can find this holiday cutie ready-to-go in my AudOnes Prims Holiday Shop, too!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Joy to the World with Therm O Web

October 12, 2016October 12, 2016audreypettit 16 Comments

Happy Wednesday, Crafty Friends!

Thank you so much for the sweet comments on the start of my annual Halloween Haunted House Tour! You all know that this is my favorite time of year, when the holidays begin. But it’s also a crazy time of year, too, as the days just seem to pick up speed from here on out. It will be Christmas before we know it. With that said, I’m switching holidays again today, and am sharing a Christmas card. Made for the Therm O Web blog featuring fun ways to use their iCraft adhesive tapes.

I love the look of glitter on paper projects, especially ones for the holiday. But ugh, glitter… It just gets everywhere. And sometimes seems to stick on everything except your project. I’ve found a pretty good trick for adhering loose glitter, though…. Therm O Web’s iCraft adhesives.

That double-sided adhesive is strong enough to hold any loose glitter firmly in place, and can be cut, punched, or die cut any way you wish. I made a layered glittered banner strip for my sentiment here, and accented with punched glittered stars. Love how they bring a touch of glam to my otherwise rustic design.

The tape is available in all sorts of widths, and even full sheets, too. I’ve got a tutorial up on the Therm O Web blog, if you’d like to learn more.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a very happy day!

Autumn Wishes for You

August 31, 2016August 31, 2016audreypettit 16 Comments

Hello, hello! Happy Wednesday!

I’m on the countdown, my friends. Just one more day until the grand opening of my new Fall Shop! And I know you know how excited I am! Tomorrow’s opening marks my one-year anniversary at AudOnes Prims, and kicks off the start of my very favorite season of all. So I have much to celebrate! And I owe all of you a huge thank you, too!

I’ve been quietly working on my shop goodies for the past couple of months, so I’m pretty much ready to go. But of course there are always lots of last minute things to do. There’s photos to edit, and a shop page to update, and a few final tags to create, like these little foxy friends.

I am a huge fan of Emma’s adorable fall stamps and dies over at My Creative Time, and pulled out one of my favorite older sets for these. This is the sweet Fall Friends set, paired with a woodsy plaid print and a touch of natural kraft, for a warm autumn look.

Thanks so much for stopping by! And before I go, here’s a little more information about tomorrow’s Fall Shop opening.

Grand Opening is 12:00 noon EST
As always, there will be some one-of-a-kind pieces, with new items being added every week.

Check out my AudOnes Prims Facebook page for the latest news, specials, and sneak peeks!

Thank you so much, Friends! Wishing you a wonderful day!

Happy Fall-o-Ween with My Creative Time

August 26, 2016August 26, 2016audreypettit 11 Comments

Hello Sweet Friends! Happy Friday!

School is back in session. Mr. Pete is finishing up his first week of his senior year in college today. I just don’t know how time manages to fly by so quickly. But I do know one thing…. even though it’s still a hundred degrees outside, back to school means fall is officially here. In my head, anyway. So today I have a fun fall card to share, made with My Creative Time’s adorable new Gobble Gobble stamp and die set.

I am crazy about the sweet owl in this set, and while I was working on my tags for the hop last week, I couldn’t resist making another card with the little guy. This time, I colored the owl in a natural woodsy yellow and brown color combo to go with my patterned papers, and added a few fall leaves to match.
