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!

Gardener

Hi! Don't you love to dig your hands into the soil and grow something beautiful or delicious?

Today I used the New Release image, "Gardener" from Little Blue Button Stamps to make this swing card. (Swing Card pattern by Simply Crafty SVGS)

I made the card base using a medium blue cardstock from Recollections. The floral print mats were cut from the "Heritage" Stack by Craft Smith. The lattice and foliage were cut from a glossy gold cardstock. (source unknown)

I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and added three small, pink, paper flowers and the gold foliage along the bottom edge.

 On the other side of the swing section of the card I added a sentiment from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

I hope you liked my little swing card.

Boarding Time Shape Card

All Aboard!

Do you have some exciting tavel plans for this summer? This cute little guy is all packed and ready to go!

 It's New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps and I used the cute little "Boarding Time" digi stamp to create this little shape card.

You can find all the New Releases HERE:

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.

I colored the cute little traveler with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

Thanks for stopping by.

Bon Voyage!

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.

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!

Miss Lilly and the Snowman

Hi! It's snowman making time where I live. I made a cute little Christmas card using the very cute  Miss Lilly and the Snowman. 

Miss Lilly is busy trying to finish her snowman before the sun goes down. You can see her through the paned window of my card. There is a cheerful evergreen swag below the window.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added some glitter cardstock snow and a sentiment.

I added another evergreen sway to the inside along with a Christmas sentiment.

Christmas Fairy House Impossible Card

Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps.

I used Christmas Fairy House for my impossible card. 

I made my card design in Design Space. You can find the file here:

https://design.cricut.com/#/design/110147835

If you do not use Design Space, or you want to see how this goes together, you can find a tutorial here:

http://stampingbella.com/blog/dt-thursday-create-a-fairy-house-impossible-card-with-sandiebella/

I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to color my image. I also used their clear glitter pen on the snow. I added sequins for the ornaments on the fairy house. I added the image and round mats to the card with foam tape.

I added sentiments from Digital Delights between the open spaces between the flaps. This will create more stability in the card. I also added a pine branch (file from Cuddly Cute Designs) to each sentiment. 

I love the impossible card design! It looks so complicated, but is really very easy.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Snowflake Ornament

Hi! Today I am sharing an ornament I made using a tag and a snowflake from My Scrap Chick.

I used my ornaments on our Christmas tree, but you could use them for package decorations or in your windows.

Here are the images I used.

          

MATERIALS

Snowflake Layers  and Ornament Gift Tag from My Scrap Chick

Dark red cardstock (Recollections)

Glossy white cardstock ( Stampin Up)

Silver pearlescent cardstock (Recollections)

Foam tape and dots

Zig fine tip glue pen and liquid glue

Red gems

Silver ribbon

Each ornament is five inches tall with a 2 3/4 inch snowflake in the middle. Each ornament is assembled on a 2 inch pentagon. For each ornament you will need five tags, a total of ten white decorative layers and one snowflake, along with the pentagon. 

Fold the ornaments in half and add a white filigree layer to the outside and inside of each ornament. I used the fine tipped Zig glue pen for this.

Glue  the ornaments to each side of the pentagon with about 3/8 inch overlapping  as shown.

Assemble and attach the snowflake to the center using foam tape. Add a red gem to the center of the snowflake.

Separate the layers to give the ornament dimension. Use small foam dots up near the fold if need be. Use a foam dot between the layers at the  tip to hold that section closed. Run a hanging ribbon through.

I love how these ornaments turned out! Why not give them a try. 

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

Happy holiday crafting!
