Puzzle Girl Autism Awareness Card



Hi! 
Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps and I had the privilege of using "Puzzle Girl" for my project. You can find the New Releases HERE:

When I saw this image I immediately thought of Autism, so I decided to make an Autism Awareness card. The card is large at 5 by 7 inches. The framed puzzle file is from Cricut and the sentiment was inspired by a sentiment found on Pinterest. I used tiny alphabet gems I had in my stash for the sentiment.


The image was printed out in Design space at 4 inches. I colored her with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and fussy cut her out leaving a narrow white border . She was mounted onto the card base with foam tape.



I hope you liked my Autism Awareness card. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Shape Cards


It's Christmas in July at My Scrap Chick!
For my project I made three Christmas shape cards. I used Winter Wishes Christmas Card, Merry & Bright Christmas Card and Holly Jolly Christmas Card







I created my cards in Design Space. I grouped all the pieces of each card together and sized the card so the card base measured 11.5 inches. The finished cards range from 5.25 to 5.5 inches tall.

MATERIALS

Printed cardstock: Old World Winter Stack by the Paper Studio
Plain Cardstock by Coredinations
Glossy cardstock in white, red, green and black (source unknown)
Cream & gold pearlescent cardstock by COLORBOK (for candle)
Christmas trims
Various gems (Jots)
Coordinating inks
Foam squares
glue

All the pieces were inked with coordinating inks. The cards were put together with glue and foam squares to make the titles pop. Gems and Christmas trims were added as accents. 

I love these cards; they are so easy to make and turn out so beautiful!
Give them a try!

Thanks for stopping by!

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.

Yum, Yum Sophie





Today I am on the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog with this birthday card using Yum, Yum Sophie and Tasty Cupcake digital stamps.



                                     

This is a slightly over sized card that measures 5.5 by 7.5 inches. A 7.25 by 5.25 light teal mat was added to the white card base, then a 6.5 by 4.75 cupcake print mat from Confetti by the paper studio was added on top of that. 

 A 4.75 by 2.25 pink scalloped border was added to the top of the card and a 1.75 by 4.75 white mat was added on top. A 3.75 by 1 3/8 inch sentiment from Cricut was added onto the white mat.

 A pink 4.75 by .5 inch scalloped strip was added to the bottom.

Using Design Space, I printed "Yum, Yum Sophie" at 4 inches and the "Tasty Cupcake" was printed at 1.5 inches. I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. I used a glitter pen for accents on the cupcakes.



 The cupcake image was added to a pink 1.75 inch circle tag and a yellow 2 1/8 inch scalloped circle. This was added to the lower right side of the top border and a teal bow was added to the top of the tag.



Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!

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

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

Dressed Up Sophie





Hi! Today I want to share a card I made for a special friend. I used the sweet Dressed Up Sophie Digi Stamp from Little Blue Button Stamps for my card. This image comes with the sentiments pictured.


I made my card in Cricut Design Space. The card base is a pink 6 inch square card. I then added a 5.75 inch square light yellow mat, then a pink mat at the top that measures 5.5 by 2.75 inches. (The paper is from the Watercolor Ombre Stack by DCWV.) A floral mat the same size was added to the bottom. ( The pink rose floral cardstock is from Samantha Rose by DCWV.) A 5.75 inch wide heart border was added to the center where the two mats meet and a daisy trim was added down the middle. Small pink pearls were added to the center of each flower.




To create the image I started by slicing the sentiments off of the image, then attached the Sophie image to a 4.75 inch decorative shape with a matching frame. (from LSHD) I colored Sophie and her furry friend with my Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers.  The frame was cut from vanilla Pearlescent Cardstock by COLORBOK. The completed image and frame were attached to upper left side of the card with foam tape.
 The sentiments were printed separately, cut into small rectangular shapes, then matted on coordinating cardstock. These were glued to the lower right side.

I love how sweet this card is. 
Thanks for looking!

I created the shape card by welding two suitcase files from Design Space together at the sides. I cut an extra suitcase from patterned paper for the front of the card and added little rounded corners to the suitcase. I also added aqua pearls to the corners. The words "travel" and"journey" and the "Bon Voyage" luggage tag were also from Cricut. A pearl was added to the luggage tag.

Miss Lilly Bunny Easter Easel Card



Today I am on the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog with an Easter easel card using the sweet image, Miss Lilly Bunny 


The card base is a cut file from Digital Delights by Looby Loo.  You can make a similar easel card base by taking a seven inch egg shape, adding a 6.25 inch oval on top. Make a fold line at 2 inches and 3.5 inches. Fold forward on these fold lines as shown below. A 5 inch half circle and a 4.5 inch half circle were added to the front. 



I used Cricut Design Space to attach the image to a 4 inch oval. I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils, then mounted the colored image on a 4.75 inch scalloped oval.


 I added a 2 inch sentiment, also from Digital Delights, that was added to a 2.5 inch scalloped oval. Both ovals were accented with clear gems. Finally the card was accented with eight pink paper flowers.



Thanks for stopping by! 
Happy Easter!
