Yellow Butterflies

 Hello Friends

I used the Hello Friend stamp and die set and Butterfly cover plate from Pink and Main.  I am entering it into the Pink and Main Blog challenge which calls for the color yellow.    

I used different shades of yellow card stock for the butterflies and a checked DP background.

Lady Bugs Galore Shaker Card

Hello Friends

I thought it would be fun to make one more summery card before I start on all my fall creations.  I am using Doodle Bugs, Stitched Tulips and Daisies, Stitched Birdhouse plus a sentiment from one of our stamps sets called Love Bug Stamp Set.  If you haven't checked out our stamps take a minute to take a peek.  They are so sweet and the dies are included.  I want to thank Kathy Schweinfurth for the inspiration for my card.  I saw hers on Pinterest.

Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 red card base, cut a piece of DP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, use the second from the largest Pierced Rectangle Frame die and cut out 3 black frames, cut out a piece of checked DP 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 and a piece of clear acetate 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 (not pictured)

2.  Using the Doodle Bug die cut out 3 lady bugs in black and red.  Using the Stitched Tulip and Daisies die cut out 3 small daisies in white and yellow.  Using the Stitched Bird House cut out just the house in 2 black checked DP and 2 red flowers DP (for the banner)

3.  Glue the 3 black frames together, glue the piece of acetate to the back of the frames.  Use foam tape to line the window as shown above.  Fill the well with shaker material.  Place the red checked retangle on the foam tape face down as seen below

4.  Place holes in all of your banner pieces both on the left and right.  Use a piece of twine to string them together as shown above.  Use dimension dots to pop them onto the card.  Glue down your shaker window just below the banner as shown above

5.  Add the flowers to the shaker window and cut the ends of the twine.  I used glue dots to secure the ends of the twine to the card

6.  Add the lady bugs and your sentiment and your card is complete

Go Wild

Hello Friends

I thought it would be fun to combine a few dies from different releases.  So I am using two dies from our Safari set, one from the Slimline set and one from our Tropical and Beach release.  The dies are Safari Monkey, Safari Phrases, Tropical Bouquet and Leafy Background Slimline.

Designer Steps:

1.  White card base 3 3/4 x 8 3/4 folded, Cut a piece of DP 3 1/2 x 8 1/2, and use the Leafy Background Slimline and cut it on green card stock

2.  Using the Safari Monkey cut out 3 monkeys using dark brown, light brown and black (nose).  Not pictured using the Tropical Bouquet die cut out 2 large Hibiscus flowers and 2 smaller ones on pink, and yellow.  Cut out 5 flowers in white, pink and black (centers).  Cut out 5 palm leaves in green. Using the Safari Phrase die cut out the sentiment in black card stock.  I used coordinating inks to shade some of the pieces and then glued together

3.  Glue the DP to the white card base and then add the leafy slimline piece.  Glue 2 hibiscus flowers, 2 white flowers and 2 leaves to the bottom of the card as shown and then add the monkey

4.  Glue 2 hibiscus flowers, 3 white flowers and 3 leaves to the top of the card and then add the monkey (below)

5.  Finish by adding the sentiment and the last monkey

Make a Splash

Hello Friends

I have one more cute turtle card.  I used the Turtley Amazing and Splash stamps from Pink and Main.  I am entering it into the Pink and Main Blog challenge which calls for something shiny!  My water is shimmer card stock and I also added some silver sequins.  The little palm trees and frame are from CottageCutz dies. 

I used Copic markers to color the turtles and added some splatters for sand.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Real Splash

 Hello Friends

Just playing with some Pink and Main Stamp sets: Turtley Amazing, Seas the Day and the sentiment is from Mermaids.  I entered it into the Pink and Main Blog Challenge

I colored with pencils and did the background in shimmer card stock with 3 layers of dimension. I ran the background through a wave embossing folder and then added the critters.
