Many of you have seen the 12 inch Cuttlebug borders and thought they were for 12" pages only. You can use them for cards just as easily! This one is called "butterfly" and its a newer folder from Cuttlebug.
I used my Scor-Pal to make the score marks above the butterfly, works great for nice straight lines. Added some pink pearls, pink sheer ribbon, and topped it off with my favorite SRM clear stickers!
I took a class last month in Ohio with Tammy Hershberger and was very happy with how my Copic marker coloring trned out... not to mention that I love this frog stamp!
I am almost out of this clear set, but I have more coming next week in clear and a couple wood mounted stamps.
On this one we used the Cuttlebug folder called tiny bubbles to give it the "frog-spot" look.
Lots of new stamps have arrived from My Favorite Things. This line is so sweet, it's called "Pure Innocence".
I made this card at a Copic Marker class given by Tammy Hershberger in Ohio, I fell in love with this Fred the Bear stamp!
Here is another card colored with Copic Markers.
I used the SRM clear stickers to make up these really simple thank you notes.
With a little ribbon and some flowers you can whip up quite a few in one sitting! The sticker sheets have enough to make 18-20 cards.
These flowers come with a sparkly gem already placed for a center. Very easy to match with the ribbon and some black and white paper.
I used the Kaleidacolor ink pad on this bicycle card, I love the rainbow effect you can get from these pads!
My friends at "Cherished Thoughts" made this card for me! This is one of my all-time favorite Cuttlebug folders and of coarse they used the Dew Drops for accents... another favorite embellishment of mine!
Supplies Used:
If you just need a little something to give to the "dad" in your life, this is the class you want to take! Its an 8x8 trifold that opens up to reveal spots for photos. The cover has chipboard letters and cool guyish paper.
The middle section lifts up to hold more pictures.
I love this little "Bosco the Bumblebee" stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs. He is part of the newest bunch of wood stamps to arrive. He is holding a flower but I added a Prima flower for a little dimension.
I like to add a bit of Stickles glitter glue to the wings of bugs and bees, it just adds a little sparkle! The punch is a new one from EK Success and the clear sticker is from SRM's card making set.
I've been posting a lot on FB and the blog about the new Whipper Snapper stamps but that is because I just love them! Well, I finally had the chance to make a card yesterday.
In this class we will be making a 6x6 flap book. The theme of this book is called "Just the Girls". It could be used for pictures of girlfriends, mom and daughters, sisters, or any other girl related theme.
There are 12 pages and flaps to the book for lots pictures. Some of the pages have "pockets" or "flip up" pages to add a little personality to the book.
This book is very colorful and perfect for the spring and summer photos you will be taking this season.
Lots of new stamps are here from Whipper Snapper, these stamps and sayings are adorable!
There are a bunch of wood mounted and some of the "cling" mounted Anna Wright sets too.
These stamps are so cute, stop by because they wont last long!
Anyone who is cool will be sporting one of these on their car! I am giving away 50 of these for FREE, as long as you will put it on your car and support your favorite hobby. Just stop by and grab one!
One of the new "limited edition" Spellbinders Nestabilities dies is the Fresh Fruit set. This set has strawberries, cherries, grapes, apples, pears, and a canning jar. Super cute set for summer cards and pages! I used the Cosmo Cricket paper "Strawberry Fields" to match with the die cut and the SRM sticker.
I made these cards with a new released Sizzix embossing set. Its a wedding set with an A2 folder and 3 border strips. I used it to emboss the card and the envelope to match. Wedding season will be here soon!
I used the black Kaiser Craft pearls, I love these because they have varying sizes in one package.
This birthday card is similar but with the pink pearls and ribbon. I like cards that are simple and elegant, and of coarse easy to make!
More new styles of SRM Stickers have arrived! These clear transparent stickers are perfect for card makers.
Many of these stickers fit perfectly in the punches I carry. Circles, ovals, scallops, and special shapes.
Mother's Day is May 9th this year and will be here before we know it!
When opened there is room for photos. The album is black and the papers are bright and spring-y! This class theme is for mom's, but could also be for a sister or best friend. The punch outs we will be using have all three themes.
The middle page lifts up for more photos or journaling. There will be quite a few tags and punch outs left over that you can add to the project if you wish, or you can change them from the ones that I used.
All paper is pre-cut and ready to be assembled.
