Baby Steps Cuts...

I finally got to play with the wonderful BabySteps cartridge that I won in the Scrappy Jaks Give away. The cuts are just too cute on this cart and I love it!! I am working on embellishments for my 2nd granddaughters book and she is due in August so I want to get a little ahead :) I used Peachykeen stamps for the face and copic markers to color the flesh and outline some of the cuts. I will be making more this weekend. I have been designing more of them in design studio so all I will have to do is slap paper on the mat and hit cut!! lol

Mothers day cards

This will be my last post today. Because my daughter and granddaughter live in another state today was a lazy day for me so I created several cards that needed to be done for may. Both of these cards are Mothers Day cards

The print cardstock is by KaiserCraft from the Chanteuse line and is available at

http://Paper-Patch-Crafts.com

The resin pink blooms are Maya Road and the beautiful long stemed blooms are KaiserCraft.

The lace and blooms are all available at Paper Patch Crafts.

The Paper butterflies are Prima

Solid Cardstock is Papertrey Ink
The swirl ribbon was purchased at Cropstop

The white stitching was created using a white gel pen that Anne the owner of Paper Patch Crafts tossed into all of her Design Teams boxes last month. It is always like Christmas when the design team box arrives at my door!! I love it!

I hope everyone has a fabulous week! It is back to work for me in the AM

***Happy Scraping***

Lily Bday Card

This is my first attempt at making a lily using the Mcgill punches and tools.

My fellow designer for Paper Patch Crafts Shelley Toney did a wonderful tutorial on making these lillies and here is the link to that tutorial on her blog:

Now for product used.

The printed paper and tag are KaiserCraft Chanteuse Collection and are available at:

http://Paper-Patch-Crafts.com

The butterflies are Prima

I used Papertrey Ink card stock for the lillies.

I used chalk to shadow the pink into the lillies and a copic marker to outline the petals and put the dots on the petals.

My lillies are far from perfect but I know they will get better everytime I make them!!

Happy Crafting Everyone!!

Butterfly Birthday

Happy Easter everyone.

Yesterday I worked on a Birthday card for one of my beautiful neices.

With spring starting I wanted bright and cheerful and I got that look with the following products.

Cardstock solid light green: Papertrey Ink

Butterfly Cardstock : KaiserCraft Bubblegum Hills collection. which is available at:

http://paper-patch-crafts.com/

I used nestibilities petite scalloped circles in my cuttlebug to do the circular cuts.

I also used 4 inch coasters purchased from Anne at Paper Patch Crafts to give the cuts

dimention. I love the coasters. Because they are 4 inches it is also easy to do a 4 inch circle with patterned paper to cover the coaster.

Silly me I didn't know you could use nestibilities or spellbinders in my cuttlebug. I had to call Anne and get instruction on how to do that. She is always awesome about teaching and giving information as well as answering all my silly questions! Now I am hooked! I now prefer the nestibilities and spellbinder dies over the cuttlebug dies. They are so much more versatile.

Back to product used.

The mini roses are made by Recollections

I also used Stickles glitter glue.

Now I need to get busy on Mothers Day Cards.

I will also be posting another card I made later today :)

Shelley Toney who is also a designer at the Patch did a fabulous tutorial on making lillies. You can find it on her blog. The link is on my blogs home page. The card I will be posting later shows my first lily attempt after watching the tutorial that Shelley T provided.

Birthday card for my Nephew

Hi everyone! I created this card for my little nephew. I started out thinking I needed to get my brothers done but I had our little guy on my mind so I made his way ahead of time.

Paper Patch Crafts is having a color challenge and the colors are Olive Green, Red and Tan so I used those colors in Patricks card. I am pretty happy with the results. I used a sizzix die for the bear. The stars are a cricut cut and the wagon and pinwheels are Provo Craft Standouts.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

All Boy

Hi everyone!

All 3 of these items were Design Team projects for Paper Patch Crafts. Because I have granddaughters this was a challenge for me. I don't do many male layouts or cards. With that being said Anne provided some wonderful products from her store for me to work with which made it easier. The items used in these projects were:

Echo Park Paper and embellishments in the little boy line.

Embellishments in Maya Road and Kaiser Craft as well as Echo Park Little Boy.

One of the cards can be either male or female.

Now here is a link to Annes store where you can find all of these wonderful products!!
