Farewell Post from Crystal

Hi there! I'm here with my last post for Quick Quotes. I am stepping down the design team for 2016, giving others the opportunity to be part of this amazing group of people.

For my farewell post, I want to share some of my favorite projects from 2015!

To start I have a card with Quick Quotes Chalking Inks from March 2015.

This year I also had the opportunity to attend one of Quick Quotes Mini Reserve.  I flew to Seattle, hung out with friends and got to meet the Quick Quotes crew. I had never attended a scrap booking retreat and from my experience I will start! The pages, goodies and knowledge captured at the event is well worth the fee. 

Giveaway prizes! (I won a printer)

Thank you so much for following my journey with Quick Quotes, it has been an absolute blessing!

49 Shades of Grey Cards

Happy Tuesday Quick Quotes fans! Crystal here with a set of cards using Quick Quotes new paper line called "49 Shades of Grey".

These are a beautiful set of papers and an absolute favorite!

My cards are using the same papers, I just moved the sentiments around.
 

 

Start by trimming your base layer in black to 4.25 x 5.50 inches. Then trim your base patterned paper to be layered on top of that. Next cut two strips of paper. One will be about 2 inches wide and the other 1 in. Use your chalking inks around each piece.  Cut a square 2x2inches in black and then another square of patterned paper 1.75x1.75 inch. Chalk around that. Finish your card by adding a sentiment of choice and stamped flowers.

Chalk Ink Inspiration with Crystal

Hello! Crystal here to host the blog. First, thank you for joining us today for some card inspiration featuring Quick Quotes Chalking Inks. This card was made by stamping lots of gorgeous chalking inks. Let's get started!

First select your "main" color chalking ink. Here I am using Caribbean Blue as my main color and selecting my coordinating card stock.

Then proceed to stamp your shape in different colors.Make sure you allow time to dry between colors/stamping.  Add your sentiment.

I wanted to add wood shapes, so I simply stained them using the chalking inks. Voila! It's done.

Catalina Island Clean N' Simple

Happy Thursday!  Today I am showing you a clean n' simple card featuring Catalina Island Papers.

These tiny bows were made using scraps I had left from one of my Club Q kits.  Currently I am loving the clean n' simple look as the Catalina Island paper become the main feature of this card.

I think this can be done with ANY die. Butterflies, flowers, bows, etc!

The sentiment is stamped with PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Blue Jeans.

Card Inspiration with Crystal

Happy Tuesday! Crystal here to host the blog, hope you had a great Monday. Today I am showcasing some gorgous violet/purple papers from Quick Quotes.

I used Alton 100 to die cut the happy birthday and used PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Cherry blossom to add the sentiment.

Then I stamped my image on Alton 100, I cut out the people's clothes and glued them on.

The birthday die cuts turned out awesome using Alton 100!
