Skye 3rd Birthday Card

Hello all!  Do you know any Paw Patrol fans?  My daughter is definitely one of them!  She just celebrated her third birthday and she wanted a Skye birthday card and cake.  Gotta love the kids that just think mom can achieve anything ;)  Anyway, here is the card I made for her.

All patterned papers are from the DCWV Confetti Party stack.  It is gorgeous and as you can see on the balloons, some papers have a holographic foil treatment.  The Skye was simply an image from the internet that I printed off and cut around with my Brother Scan N Cut.  I popped up that up with foam tape and added GMD rainbow bling rhinestones around the image.

The 3 was designed in my SCAL 4 software, cut on the Cameo and was also popped up with foam tape.  You can see somewhat in the picture below that I covered the whole number with clear Wink of Stella glitter because my daughter absolutely loves "gwittah"!  The wording is from a retired stamp set, but it worked perfectly for this card.  The best part of all is that Autumn loved this card to pieces!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

P.S. If you would like to see a flip through of the DCWV Confetti Party stack, I have this one up on YouTube! 

Trendy Bakers Twine~Hibiscus Treat Packet

Hello all!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a fun summer themed project that features Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine.  Did you know this twist is intended to be used for Halloween or Mardi Gras projects?  As you can see, it is perfect for summer or any time projects too. I started with a Grape Treat Packet and added a stamped hibiscus flower from a Pink and Main mini stamp set using Scrapbook.com inks in Rubber Ducky, Succulent, Soft Lavender, Parisian Purple, and Mardi Gras.  I cut that out with my Brother Scan N Cut and left a thin white border around it so it would pop against the purple background.  I then glued Grape Fizz Sequins around the image.  At the top, I used a hole punch to punch both cardstock layers, added Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dots and strung three strands of Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine through those holes and tied a bow.  I filled the included zip top bag with Apple-O's candy, which matched the twine perfectly!

 Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Trendy Bakers Twine~Popsicle Friendship Card

Hello all!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a fun summer themed project that features Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine.  Did you know this twist is intended to be used for Halloween or Mardi Gras projects?  Guess what?  I used it because I love the bright colors and they work perfect for summer.  I encourage you to do the same with any of your "traditional" craft supplies.  Use them for something new and unexpected!

This was a fairly simple card.  The background has washi tape strips in green and purple on it and I added strips of Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine around the washi tape.  I glued a bow of Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine on the center wrap of twine, then added the stamped sentiment from Friendship Stamps in purple ink.  The twin popsicles were svg files and I inked the edges of the cuts for extra dimension.  Grape Fizz Sequins added a little sparkle to the card front and all that was matted with green and purple cardstock to tie the color scheme together.

Kendra's Card Challenge #2

Hello all! Today I am sharing the cards I created for Kendra's Card Challenge #2.  It took me the whole 3 months of the challenge to actually make these cards because, well, life! The deadline to enter is June 30th, so I made it just in the nick of time.

All of these cards were made with the BoBunny Celebrating Freedom paper pad. That happens to be a 6x8 pad, but I was okay with having some scraps left over. The papers were so pretty, I wanted to use them! I did use more than 6 pieces of the patterned paper to make these cards.

Here are close ups of card sketches 1-4.

Here are cards 5-8.

Sketches 9-11...

I made 2 each of 12 and 13 because since I wasn't using double sided paper, I had to use more than 6 sheets of paper for completing the sketches. 

And finally, sketch #14. Some of the products used on these cards include GMD Regal Doily die, Raisin Boat Talking in Circles stamps, APB Friendship and Greetings stamp sets, Pink and Main Birthday Wishes stamp, and Paper Inspirations Favorite Calligraphies stamp.  Inks used include Scrapbook.com Midnight Blue and Cardinal Red and VersaFine Onyx Black. Adhesives used include Bearly Art glue and ATG.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
