How Do You Do That? --->Super Comic Party

So? Did you get the Rhonna Designs Newsletter No. 2? Well, if you did...you saw all the NEW Super Comic Kits! 
I love this whole vibe...perfect for any celebration for the super heroes in your life. 
1.2.3.

For today's How Do You Do That? segment...
I wanted to show you how my sister used these kits to throw her own party....
She has a new baby, 
is moving & 
her little super hero turned 5! (Happy Birthday, Adam!) 
So, she needed a super fast & easy party to throw together...

aaaanndd: 
Rhonna Designs to the rescue!  
She simply printed out all of the Super Comic Party Printables onto cardstock, sticker paper & other papers to create a truly SUPER party!
 Amy is an amazing stylist, & she's got the knack of making things look fabulous in a jiffy...but anyone can when you look at HOW she did it!
Look at how she added pom pom trim behind the Party Banner Printables! LOVE!

and. just look at the cute party hats she put in the hurricanes...a*dore this brilliant idea!

One of the pieces to the Printable Party is the Cupcake N Labels Kit.  The Labels can be used for water bottles, printed on sticker paper for gift wrapping annnddd....
sewn together to create a mobile! 


Seriously! I had NOT thought of this, but when I saw it I thought: 
DUH....how cool is that?

She simply sewed these down the center & added some of the Circle Seals along with her stash of Vintage Comics...Love it!

Party cakes were all Fabb-ed up with the Circle Seals, too! 
She stuck them on the skewers & voila! Fast & easy Birthday Cakes! 
(the KaPOW is in the Circle Seals, Digital Rub ons & Brushes kits) 
And the Batman logo she used over one of the Burst Brushes!...easy to design your own stuff!)

 The Candy Cones *& Party Hat kits are similar, but the Cones are a smaller version of the hats...so, they can both be used to have some fun with all ages! 
(notice in the pic the size difference)  
She added crepe paper, & made all sorts o' goodies lickety split...
oh so fast!
See how she incorporated the Super Hero she wanted to customize her party to? I love that about this kit...it's all SUPER>>>>& everyone can use it with Superman, Batman, Captain America...yea!

Look at this cute little hero...
I think he's SUPER at 5!  
One cool thing about the Digital Brush kit is that it comes with numbers 1-12 for your own hero's birthday age! You can totally customize the invites, etc!

So, the great thing about these kits is:
you can purchase separately OR you can purchase in a Printable Party Pack 
or a 
both at a great discount.
**and you Newsletter peeps...you got even MORE of a SUPER discount!* wink!

so...happy weekend full of cRafting!
I'm so excited...I'll be glued to my TV all weekend watching, soaking up & being uplifted & inspired by THIS!

a closeR look at gRateful glam

Whether you live in the States or Canada & celebrate Thanksgiving> or if you live somewhere around the world....everyone loves to create with a Grateful Heart....
& this Grateful Glam collection is perfect for any kind of project: 
card making, 
hyrbrid crafting, 
digital scrapbooking, 
photography, 
blogging, 
DIY home decor...
you name it...
This collection is a gorgeous tool for you to create projects to uplift & inspire!


I'm so excited about this Grateful Glam Paper pack! The colors are inspired by Autumn & what's hot now: 
Grey, Yellow & Sage. 
The patterns are an ecclectic mix of vintage receipts, grids & ledger.  
Add a splash of modern florals, lattice & quatrefoil & voila! 
You have a kit that has 12 backgrounds that can be used over & over again in ANY projects.  10 of the backgrounds are very versatile, while 2 have Gratitude specific words on them.  LOVE it!
Like all of my Rhonna Designs Printable background papers, you get all of the designs in 2 sizes: this paper pack is offered in 8x10 or 12x12 so no matter what size you need....you are covered!

Ok. This is where I get really excited!  This Cards N Tags kit is sooo fun!  It comes in 10 different designs.  3x5 sized AND a full 8x10 Printable where they are sized smaller: business card size (2 x 3.33)!!!  These darling little gems are perfect for slipping a card into someone's lunch box, under a pillow, wrapped on a gift...OR...I totally see these with family's names on them on the Thanksgiving Table.  
I'm thinking: perfect for a Gratitude Tree...hanging from branches where everyone writes down what they are thankful for. 

And the smaller cards can be printed & cut out... smaller versions & oh. so. cute! imagine: mini banners sewn together, strung across your tablescape, mantle piece, or doorway! Love!

And...of course. This digital brush set is so gorgeous & can be used in so many things to create masterpieces. There really is no limit with what you can create stamping these babies on everything:
cards.
photos.
word art.
scrapbook layouts.
blog posts.

& then using them to print out...hybrid crafting...ahh! the best!

**NOTE: For little tips & tricks with this kit...remember to refer to THIS tutorial. It teaches you how to use some of the brushes in this kit for a cool effect.  There are SOOO many things you can do with digital brushes.  I can't even touch on it all....hence, the step by step tutorials in the How Do You Do That series.  We'll be going from the simplest steps like loading & stamping to more advanced techniques...so, keep up & enjoy the pRocess of learning How to Use & cReate with digital brushes.



And...the Tags N Flags Printables are so great. I've used them on so many things already! It comes with 3 different Printable sheets....This first one is little flags that can be made into mini banners, dessert toppers on toothpicks, or cut & folded to be used on cards, scrapbook layouts, home decor...you name it!
Did you see how cReative Team member Jamie used them? Love this! 

She put them on sticks as Home Decor & mixed them with the Spooky Junque Banner Kit! Darling!

The other 2 printable pages offered in the Tags N Flags Kit are both perfect for printing out on paper or sticker paper....making your own stickers, letters, tags, etc.  

Both have quotes & words that are gratitude geared...I love them! Cut out little snippets for scrapbooking layouts, or cards.


OR
This one is automatic STICKER sheet....cut out the words OR just the letters. All coordinating with the Grateful Glam kits AND versatile enough to be used with any other crafting supplies & embellies.

So many great things to create with these kits....I"m so uplifted & inspired by what the cReative Team always does....I'd also love to see what YOU do with them!

So...are you ready to be uplifted & inspiRed by my cReative Team today? I'm seriously LOVING their cReativity with their hybrid crafting...i just love it all!

Spooky Junque isn't just for Halloween. Look at how Jamie Pate created this Spooky Junque Banner...

Ok...I have to say: I think this Persimmon color in the kit is my fave...& LOVE how she used the pieces here...the little flags on top are all from the kit as well as the flower & flag underneath.

The orange butterfly flourish & 'attitude of gratitude' brushes are perfect for this Postcard.

She used the Quatrefoil backgrounds and the Washi Tape clusters...LOVE this! Those metal numbers are.
to.
die.
for.
LOVE!




And as if you haven't gotten enough ideas & eye candy for banners...check out Melissa Mortenson's fabric banner! Complete with photos printed on fabric & sewn in! 

She says:

I printed the banner PDF's on muslin (just iron wonderunder to the back and it will go through a printer just fine!)... Then cut them out and ironed them onto canvas. Then stitched around & pinked the edges of the canvas.

Then I printed my photos (adding RD design elements first) on fusible printable fabric... then ironed them onto the banner pieces and stitched around... added some embellishments and strung them up...



Just a note about printing on muslin- it works great but is not water safe- if you drip on the fabric it will bleed- but works great for crafts.

Go on over to her blog to see more images close up of this AMAZING bunting! Love the fabric & photo touches. lovely!

Remember last week's sneak peek of her Joyful Pillow? Well....here's the gorgeous finished product!
I love how Melissa incorporates fabric, sewing, buttons & bling into her creations.
truly uplifting & inspiring!



The embroidery on the Honeycomb pieces just makes me smile. & LOVE the Spring Mix butterflies!

Susan created this stunning quote layout that is sooo inspiRing to me!



 Love how she used the
Washi Tape kit, Spring Mix Butterflies AND the little banners are from the Grateful Glam TagsNFlags kit! Love this photography, too! So, talented! 

And...check out what Nancy Wyatt has created!!!

She photographed it on a framed piece of the Spooky Junque Background kit...& the corner is darling with the little bits of Spooky Junque!
