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.

Star Box

Today in preparation for the 4th of July, I played with the Star Box Trio file from My Scrap Chick. I used the small and medium boxes. I used papers from these paper stacks:

Vintage Nation by the Paper Studio

Americana Designer Paper by COLORBOK

When gluing the boxes together make sure the corners with the deeply cut corners are folded into mountain folds and used as the outside points of the boxes and lids.

Medium Box

Small Box

If you put the layers of the topper together with foam tape you will get a 3-D effect.

I hope you liked my Star Boxes!

Happy Fourth of July!

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!

                                  

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.

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Tasty Cupcake Stacked Card

Hi! Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps and I used "Tasty Cupcake" to make this cute stacked cupcake card.

I started by uploading the file into Design Space and saving it as both a cut file and a print then cut file. I duplicated the cut file so I had three cupcakes. Two of the cupcakes are 3.5 inches tall and the other one is slightly smaller at 3 inches. I stacked the three cupcakes with the smallest one at the top and lining them up so part of each cupcake lines up along the left edge. I selected all three cupcakes and welded them together. I duplicated this piece, then flipped one piece vertically. Two pieces were line up back to back so they line up where the two pieces meet. I selected both pieces and welded them together, then added a fold line down the middle and attached it in place.

I cut this card base from the cupcake print from the Confetti Stack by DCWV.

I next took the print then cut file and duplicated it so I had three cupcakes. I sized them to match the cupcakes on the card base, then attached them to rectangles. These were printed on the paper I  used to color the images. I then took a white piece of 8.5 by 11 white cardstock and laid it on top of the paper with the printed cupcakes. Holding it up to the light so I could see the cupcakes underneath, I then attached with tape scraps of paper that I wanted for my cupcake bottoms. I then used this paper to make a second copy of the cupcakes. 

Using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, I colored the bottom and top cupcakes so they had pink frosting, and the middle one with blue frosting. I added Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen to each one, then added some seed beads to each one. I cut out and glued the bottom to each one, then added a paper pieced flower (from My Scrap Chick) to the bottom two cupcakes and a cherry to the top cupcake.

I love how this stacked cupcake card turned out! 

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

Happy Crafting!

Valentines Day Puffy Heart Box

I fell in love with this Puffy Heart Candy Box  from My Scrap Chick and knew I needed to make one for my granddaughter.

Here are the files I used.

I used cardstock from "Uptown Flair Glitter Stack" by the paper studio  for my box.   I decided to make a double bow for my box. I simply stacked a smaller bow on top of a larger one.

           

I decided to put a cute Cupid's Cloud image on the back of my box. I started by duplicating the heart mat and making it slightly smaller, then attached the image to it.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added accents with gel pens and a glitter pen.

                                                                       

This is how the finished box looks from the side.

This was such a fun, easy project, and I love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Knitting Anna

      Hi! Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps and my card uses the adorable image, "Knitting Anna."

I started with a 5 by 6 inch base card made from a striped pattern from the Confetti Stack from DCWV.  The image was printed at 3.75 by 4.75 inches and the mat is 4 by 5 inches.  The image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils to resemble my granddaughters' kitties. I cut a 5 inch by .75 inch triangle from the open bottom section of the card. I used the same shape to cut a triangular notch from the bottom of the image and the light yellow mat. Small holes were punched .5 inch down and .25 inch in on each side of the front of the card. Punch holes were also made at 3/8 inch down and 1/4 inch in on the matted image.  I mounted the image 1/8 inch down from the top fold  and centered at the sides, then light yellow thread is threaded through the holes and tied in the middle.

Finally, I made two 1.5 by 2 inch knitting balls and needles using an image from Cricut. These were added near the bottom on each side.

I love this sweet image with Anna and her two furry "helpers."

Happy coloring!
