i-rock Apron Challenge by Christy

We asked our fans which of you would be able to ROCK OUT an i-rock apron if you were to win one...and we picked Christy to show us her stuff! And we think she totally rocked out our apron.

We challenged Christy to show us what she would do if we sent her an i-rock apron and i-rock tool assortment and this is what she did with it!

If you'd like to see close-ups of the beautiful detail Christy added to her apron on her own blog. Be sure to leave her some comment love so she knows you stopped by!

Thanks Christy!!

Guest Blog Post: Renata from Brazil

Hello!

It´s Renata Moni from Brazil and I'm delighted to be here and blogging with you today.

My theme for today is BIRTHDAY! And my project uses the new B-Day Bash Collection!!

I love to celebrate birthdays, but I must confess I'm terrible at remembering them.

So, I decided to share with you what I have made to help me not forget my friends' birthdays anymore! LOL

It's a birthday calendar!





I will show you how I created mine with this simple tutorial!

Materials to do this birthday calendar :
1 Chipboard sheet 9”x 9”
2 cardstock papers 12"x 12"
Patterned papers ( new B-day Bash Collection by Imaginisce)
rub-ons, alpha stickers, i-rock blings, foam tape, glue and embellishments you desire.

Instructions
Use the thickest chipboard you have for firm strong board.


Cover both sides of your chipboard with cardstock.
Tip 1- You can use a piece of fine-grade sandpaper or nail file to sand the edges of the paper flush with the edges of the chipboard.
Tip 2- Painting your chipboard is a great alternative to covering it too.

Now that the front face of the board is ready:

Adhere the patterned papers to the chipboard sheet and embellish however you wish.

Create a cute background to put under the calendar. I even added some i-rock blink to my balloons.

Print on white paper a perpetual calendar with the days of the month and trim them to size (mine is 7 ½ " high x 3 ½" width) and round corners.

Use a clothes pin to hold the papers of your calendar.

Decorate the months of you calendar! It´s going to be fun and beautiful.

You can use stickers, rub-on , blings, alpha stickers...

And your calendar is ready!!!

I Hope you like it!

Have a great weekend you all!

Rock Your Stamps

Just added....We're giving away our last Cottage Christmas Collection samples for the week and we thought we'd end it by adding in the i-rock tool too!!

Hi there, Scrappers! I'm Aphra, Imaginisce's guest blogger today.

Ok, I know you don't know me very well, but I feel the need to get something off my chest. Every month or so, the folks at Imaginisce send us Design Team girls a ginormous box of goodies. And every box contains about six stamps per line. So far, I've amassed a whopping 72 PRECIOUS stamps.

I ooohhh and ahhh over their cuteness every month. And then I pack them up and put them in my super special Imaginisce stamp box. They are vintage . . . never been used . . . in mint condition. Probably not what Imaginisce had in mind, hun?

So, when Lori asked me to guest blog, I thought I might push the envelope a little and actually use one of my stamps. Hey, maybe even two. Since I don't have any Copic markers or watercolor pencils and my ink box mostly consists of black and brown, I had to come up with something a little different. That's where the i-rock comes in. Here we go.

First, gather your supplies.

Next, stamp your image onto a piece of neutral cardstock.

Arrange your crystals along the lines of the image.

Set the crystals with your i-rock.

Embellish and add to your project.

Repeat.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you'll try rocking out your stamps. See you soon!

Guest Blog Post: Bday Bash Fun!!

Happy Friday!!

It's Erin Bassett at the helm today sharing some of the things I've made with the new awesome B-Day Bash collection and my i-rock.

First off is this layout I made with photos from my niece's birthday.

I just love how the Happy Birthday Banner Ribbon makes it look so festive! I've added some bling with my i-rock to both the banner and on the chipboard frame.

I also had fun making some cards! I love the way the first one explodes out of the envelope when it's opened up!!

And then when you open it up it has some fun inside too:

Here's a card I made with the cool sketch that Tammy Wark created. {Don't forget to enter the contest to win $75 worth of products...find more info here!}

And lastly, here's a fun little gift bag:

Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!
