You can find the file HERE:

MATERIALS LIST

CG-Drummer Bear Box Card file from My Scrap Chick

Red glitter cardstock from AMERICAN CRAFTS

Pearlescent Paper by COLORBOK in gold and black.

Brown, tan and white cardstock by Recollections

Black Rhinestones from Micheal's

Aleenes Tacky Glue and Zig Two Way Glue

Before you put the rest of the card together, glue the head to the inside back of the card base. I added the hat with foam tape to add dimension.

Next, make the hands, making sure to add the drumsticks to the back of the hand. Add the pieces to create the top of the drum before adding the hands to the center piece, again using foam tape.

Using Aleenes Tacky Glue, put the card base together with the glitter on the outside. I hold things together with paper clips while everything dries. Add the center piece by gluing it in the middle of the box section. 

Add the drum details. I added black rhinestones to the points of the W shaped piece on the front.

 

And here is a side view of the finished Drummer Bear Box Card. I really love him in the glitter cardstock.

Pirate Ship Boxcard

Ahoy Maties!

Hi! Today I am sharing this cute Pirate Ship Box Card from My Scrap Chick. You can find the file HERE: I also added a little pirate using the Bella and Baxtor Pirates file which you can find Here:

                                                                     

The files imported into Design Space at the correct sizes. I used the Warm & Cozy Stack from the Jen Hadfield Home Made Collection for the boat base. I used scraps from my stash for everything else. The card went together easily.

The little pirate was made 3 inches tall including his hat. I attached him to the card with a couple foam dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Picnic Sophie

Hi! Today I am sharing my last DT project for Little Blue Button Stamps.

I used the sweet image, "Picnic Sophie" which can be found HERE:

I created the easel card using files from Bird's Cards. The card base is cut from "Watercolor Ombre" Stack by DCWV.  The floral frame was cut from Pearlescent Cardstock by Recollections. The card is accented with purple gel gems and paper flowers. The sentiment is from Digital Delights by Louby Loo and was added using foam squares.

"Picnic Sophie was colored with my Tri-Blend Markers from Spectrum Noir. She was also attached to the card base with foam squares.

Happy Crafting!

Miss Lilly in the Garden

H, I forgot to publish this project I created for the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog. I made a Dutch Fold Card using "Miss Lilly in the Garden." 

Miss Lilly in the Garden can be found HERE.

The card base starts with a 4 by 10 inch printed purple piece of cardstock folded down at four inches from the top.  Using Cricut Design Space, I added a sentiment( from Digital Delights by Louby Loo) in the center of a 3 3/8 by 5 1/2 inch white piece of cardstock. This was then matted onto a 3 1/2 by 5 7/8 piece of light yellow cardstock, then added to the inside of the card base. I then added three pansies from Cricut to the bottom, and two purple flower gems to the top corners.

A 2 inch by 8 1/8 inch piece of purple cardstock was used as the wrap around at the bottom. I scored this piece at 2 1/16 inches in from each end. I added a double mat to this piece and a purple flower gem to each flap.

Using Cricut Design Space, I added the image to a 4.5 inch oval which was double matted on a purple print, then light yellow. I colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils. I double matted the front flap in yellow and white then added the matted image so it overlapped at the bottom by 3/4 inch.

I love this image of Miss Lilly with her wheel barrow full of pansies.

Flower Cone Card

Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps and I have made this criss cross card using "Flower Cone." The New Releases can be found HERE:

I started with a 5.5 by 12 inch piece of double sided patterned cardstock. ( I used an Ancestry.com double-sided designer paper from K and Company for my card. ) Along the 12 inch side I folded the cardstock at the 4 inch and 8 inch points. I then cut from the bottom left (point 1) to the top of the 4 inch fold (point 2). Then I cut from the bottom right edge (point 3) to the top of the 8 inch fold (point 4). ( 1 to 2 and 4 to 3 to create a shape as below. )

A scalloped border was added to each of the top edges, cut from cream pearlescent cardstock. I also added a dainty cream trim to the diagonal edges. A sage bow and three cream flowers were added to the left flap as shown.

To make the tag I printed the Flower Cone image on a 3.25 by 4.75 piece of white cardstock. I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils. I inked the edges with sage ink. The finished image was mounted on a 3.5 by 5.0 cream pearlescent cardstock, then a 3.75 by 5.25 piece of the same double sided cardstock that was used for the criss cross section.

The finished card.

I hope you liked my criss cross card.

Beach Play Sophie Easel Card

Hi! Now that summer has finally arrived there's nothing better than a day on the beach playing in the sand!

Today I am on the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog with this fun little easel card. I used  "Beach Play Sophie" which can be found here:  https://lbbstamps.com/product/beach-play-sophie-digi-stamp/

The card base is "Bright Side Easel Card" from My Scrap Chick which you can find here:  https://www.myscrapchick.com//product.cfm?product=779

I made the card slightly larger at about 5 by 7 inches. Using Design Space I attached the image to the cloud and printed it using the print then cut function. I colored her using my Spectum Noir Alcohol Markers. 

The sentiment is from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. The final touch  was a row of white lace and blue striped ribbon added to the card base.

Sophie With Umbrella Easel Card

"April showers bring May flowers" or at least we hope so!

I used the sweet digi stamp, "Sophie With Umbrella" from Little Blue Button Stamps on my card.

She can be found here: https://lbbstamps.com/product/sophie-with-umbrella-digi-stamp/

I colored the image using my Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers. She was added to the finished card with foam squares.

I created this umbrella shaped easel card in Design Space. 

You should be able to access the Design Space file here:
https://design.cricut.com/#/design/141213820

I used patterned cardstock from the "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" by the paper studio for my card. I made mountain folds on the green umbrella piece and added it to the card with a double foam square in the center and small glue dots at the points. Clear flower gems were added at the points also.

I added my sentiment to an octagon and matted the sentiment with the same paper as used on the umbrella. I added it to the card with foam squares, then added some clear flower gems around the sentiment. These help to hold the easel part of the card. 

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think.

Miss Lilly on the Bike Garden Gate Easel Card

Hi! It is finally starting to look like Spring!

Today I am sharing a sweet little easel card made by combining the adorable Miss Lilly on the Bike from Little Blue Button Stamps, with Birds and Garden Gate Easel from My Scrap Chick.

                              

When making the garden gate I made four of the cross beams on the gate. I put two across horizontally and the other two on each end vertically. I used two layers of double stick tape for the side pieces to raise them up a little.

I used cardstock from several sources for my card. I used a blue floral print for the background, a green dot for the grass, and a gray wood grain print for the garden gate. The card base is light blue,

I moved one of the birds to the left to create room for the image.

Here is how the card looks from the back and side.

I used my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to color Miss Lily on the Bike. I tried to copy the grass and garden gate between the spokes of the bike tires. I fussy cut the image and added her to the card using foam tape to give the card some extra dimension.

I created the sentiments in Cricut Design Space and added the "Life is a beautiful ride" sentiment using more foam tape.

I think these two files make a perfect pairing. My Scrap Chick cards make a perfect base for LBBS images!

Happy Spring!

Easter Charlie

Hi! It's New Release time at Little Blue Button Stamps and I made an Easter step card using the sweet "Easter Charlie" digi stamp. You can find all the New Releases HERE:

I got the Cricut Design Space file for the step card from the Facebook group, Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space. I used patterned cardstock from Uptown Flair Glitter Stack from The Paper Studio for my card. The cute little chicks are a file from My Scrap Chick.

I colored the sweet "Easter Charlie" with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers using soft pastels.

Thanks for looking! 

Happy Easter!
