My first project for the party features pattern paper and an image from Doodlebug.

I started with a heavyweight white cardstock that was cut, scored and folded to make a standard A2 size card base. I cut a piece of green pattern paper to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and adhered it to the front of my card base. Next, I cut two different pieces of pattern paper down to 4" X 5 1/4" then cut them in two diagonally. I then adhered them to my card. I added a 1/4" strip of bright green cardstock over the seam.

I used an arch die to cut a piece of red dotted pattern paper to adhere my image to.  I found my image in the Silhouette store. I made it a print then cut image and used my Silhouette portrait to cut out my image. I adhered it to my red pattern paper after stamping my sentiment. I used some foam tape to adhere my focal point to my card. I added some stickles to the sprinkles, the cheeks, and holly berry.

I hope you will head over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to check out the design team's inspiration projects, then link up your project for a chance to win one of the awesome prizes offered by our sponsors.

Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you at the party.

Let's Craft and Create Challenge #206 AG Twist Beautiful Butterflies

 It's time for a new challenge at Let's Craft and Create. This month as always, the challenge is Anything Goes with the twist of Beautiful Butterflies.

My card today is a standard A2 card base. My pattern paper is from Memory Box.  My butterfly is from Cricut Design Space. I manipulated the original design, so I didn't have to place all the individual-colored pieces. Instead, I sliced those pieces out of the top layer and created a solid layer to go behind the top layer.

I ink blended some cardstock with Spun Sugar and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink and used that to cut the solid back layer. I used some silver holographic cardstock to cut my top layer of my butterfly.

I die cut a circle of more pattern paper using a 2 3/4" die. I cut my butterfly at 2 1/4".  I adhered my butterfly to my pattern paper circle with Liquid adhesive under the body and foam squares under the wings, so they had some lift.

I needed a birthday card, so stamped my sentiment on a scrap of the cardstock that was ink blended with the Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. I used a sentiment strip die to cut it out. I adhered it to my cards with some small foam squares. I embellished my card with some dark pink Spellbinders pearls.

I appreciate you stopping by today. I hope you will head on over to the Let's Craft and Create blog for more Design Team projects and then link up your project.

BYSH Cardmakers Sketch #44 Challenge

 

It's time for a new Sketch Challenge over at BYSH Cardmakers. Sketch #44 has started. Here is a peek at the new Sketch.

For my card, I followed the sketch measurements. Mt pattern paper is from Echo Park. My stockings were cut at 1" from solid colored cardstock from the pattern paper pad. I popped them up on my card and added some white gel pen highlights. My sentiment is white heat embossed on more of the dark green cardstock. I popped the sentiment up on my card.

Now it's your turn. Pop over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to see more inspiration with the new sketch then link up your project in our Facebook group.

Paper Funday April Challenge.

 

I am excited to announce I have joined the design team for The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. I'm here with my first project. 

My image is the Sending Sunshine from Rachelle Ann Miller. I colored my image with my watercolor pencils.

My card is a standard A2 card base. My pattern paper is from the Doodlebug Hello Again 6" X 6" paper pad. I cut my image and a mat using some spellbinders oval dies. I attached my image panel to the green mat then added foam tape behind the green mat to pop it up on my card. I added some yellow flower sequins to finish the card.

Thanks for visiting. Now head on over to The Paper Funday Challenge Blog and link up your project.

BYSH Cardmakers Challenge Sketch #43

 I'm back with my second project for the Sketch #43 challenge at BYSH Cardmakers.

Here's a look at the sketch.

I followed the measurements on the sketch for my card. My pattern papers are from an older Echo Park 6" X 6" paper pad. I used a snowflake die from Gina Marie Designs. I cut the snowflake twice, once from vellum and again from some white glitter cardstock. I offset them slightly and adhered them together with some liquid adhesive just at the middle. The star in the center actually cuts out of the snowflake, but I added it back with a foam square.

I white heat embossed my sentiment on some red cardstock and matted it with some green cardstock. I used a thin foam strip to pop up the sentiment.

Thanks for visiting today. Now, hurry over to the BYSH Cardmakers blog to check out more inspiration the head to our Facebook group and add your project.

The Creative Crafter Challenge #74

 

It's time for a new challenge over at The Creative Crafter. As always, it's Anything Goes.  This is my project.

My card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  I embossed a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white cardstock panel with the Spellbinders February 3D Embossing folder of the month. I then used my finger to rub some Simon Hurley Cross My Heart Solar Paste across the raised areas of the embossed cardstock. You can't really see it in the photo, but it gives it a pale pink shine to the embossing.

For my main image I used the February Large Die of the Month. I decided to make my basket blue. I adhered the basket to my card front with some liquid adhesive. I only added the adhesive to the outside edges of the card so I could tuck my flowers and carrots into my basket.

I cut my Lily of the Valley from a light lavender cardstock. My tulips are 3 shades of pink and 3 shades of purple. I cut my carrots from two different shades of orange. I used two different shades of green for the stems, leaves, and carrot tops.

My bunny is cut from white and pink cardstock. I added him to the basket with liquid adhesive and foam tape to his ears.

To finish the card, I added some Stardust Stickles to some of the flowers. I stamped my sentiment with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink on some white cardstock. I used a sentiment label die to die cut my sentiment and adhered it to the lower left side of the basket with liquid adhesive.

Now it's your turn. Head over to The Creative Crafter to check out the design team inspiration then link up your project.

Thanks for stopping by today.
