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.

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.

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.

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!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Spring!

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!
