Just Go For It!

Happy Monday everyone!

"Just Go For It"

That's something I think a lot of us need to

hear every once in a while!

Is there something you've been wanting to do

but have been afraid to to take the proper steps

to do so? What have you got to lose?

It may just pay off!

This fun little project reflects that motto

"Just Go For It".

It was pretty quick and easy to put together using

an inexpensive wood photo frame, some DP,

a few embellishments and the adorable digi set from

Imagine That! Digis

"Foxy Thang".

So, I'll ask again!

What have you got to lose?

Just Go For It!

MHKDesigner Inspiration

Hello there!

Today's my day to share a little inspiration at

MHKDesigns!

I had someone ask me if I had any

pet sympathy cards and I had to say no.

So I decided I would create one and

there is a set from MHKDesigns that works great

for such a creation.

Fur & Paws 

I printed the image and only colored the collar with a marker.

I fussy cut and popped with foam tape on die cut ovals.

I used some paw print paper for the background

and used some coordinating solid card stocks.

The sentiment is from

Pretty Petunias.

Until next time

Happy Crafting!

Cute As A Button April Inspiration

It's my turn to share a little inspiration on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog!

I decided to create an easel card using

Alana Birthday Princess.

I started by printing and coloring the image with

Prismacolor pencils and fussy cutting. 

Next I cut a 12x12 inch piece of mediam blue card stock down

to 12x5 inches. I folded the 12 inch side in half to create a

6x5 inch card base and then folded the front in half again

to form the easel.

Next I covered the front of the card with dark blue card stock,

cut a frame out of medium blue with a Paper Artist die

and adhered to white card stock.

I adhered the white piece to the card base.

I cut accent pieces from the die set in medium blue 

and adhered to dark blue card stock and fussy cut around

to use as a background for the sentiment.

I popped the image on the white & die cut background with foam tape.

The sentiment piece was popped on the bottom of the card base.

I added some gems for the finished product!

I hope I've inspired you just a little bit today

Cute As A Button March Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a little inspiration over on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog!

I created a note card set using the

Faith Fairies Bundle.

I colored the 4 fairies with pencils and pulled out

coordinating solid color card stocks.

Next I fussy cut the images and cut down the

colored card stock to fit the front of my A2 size cards 

and white card stock to use as the background for the images.

I embossed the white background pieces with an embossing folder

from Hot Off the Press. Then die cut circles to fit the center

of the embossing with Sizzix framelits dies.

I layered all the pieces and this is what I ended yo with!

I think these will make a nice gift set for someone all tied up with pretty ribbon!

Cute As A Button Inspiration for February

Hey there everyone!

It's my turn to provide a little inspiration over at

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase!

This month I decided to create a wedding card using

"Our Wedding Day".

I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

Then I chose a background DP paper from

Joy's Vintage Papers by Paper Pizazz.

I matted the DP with gray card stock to go on

my pink card base.

Next I decided to use Renaissance Jubilee Spellbinder's dies

to frame the couple.  The frame was adhered to the DP panel.

I pulled out some pearls in various sizes.

The image was added to the frame and is now

ready for some embellishing.

And...wahlah, a finished project!

MHKDesigns February Inspiration

Good morning friends, followers and fellow crafters!

Today is my day to share a little inspiration at

MHKDesigns!

I created a note card set using

Blossoming.

The set includes a box and 12 cards, in 6 designs, envelopes & a pen.

This would make a great gift. And came together pretty quickly.

All was made with 8.5 x 11 inch solid color card stock, 

one sheet for the box and 6 for the A2 sized cards. 

I colored the images with pencils and fussy cut. 

I did a little embossing and added some pearls to the simply designed cards.

I used a die cut label, ribbon and pearls to embellish the box.

I hope you'll check out all the products available at the

MHKDesigns Etsy Shop.

They are all so easy to use in a multitude of ways!

Cute As A Button Inspiration

Today is my day to share an inspiration project on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog.

I created another altered notebook using

"Venice Mask".

I started by coloring the image with Prismacolor pencils & gels pens

and fussy cutting. Next I pulled out a notebook, chose papers that would

coordinate well with the image and a template to cut  frame.

I added some embossing to the frame with a 

Cuttlebug border embossing folder.

 I added DCWV DP to the notebook cover.

                                 

I glued ribbon to the cover, in order to tie the notebook shut,

and added the frame on top

Next I added the image to the frame.

The sentiment was computer generated and stamping was added

to frame the sentiment before die cutting with a

stamp and die from Hot Off the Press.

I also added some stickles to the flower on the mask.

To finish I added some feathers behind the image.

Here's a closeup

Cute As A Button Inspiration

Good morning all!

Hope everyone had great celebrations

yesterday with family and friends!

We had a great day here!

Today I'm sharing my inspiration post for December on the

Cute As A ButtonInspiration Showcase Blog.

I created an altered notebook using

Hawaiian Mermaid.

I colored the image with pencils and fussy cut.

Next I pulled out some papers to go with my colored scheme.

I covered the front of the notebook with the background papers.

I decided on a layout using some circle dies.

My DP is from the Paper Studio's "A Day at the Beach" paper pad.

I die cut my "Dream" title and

 decided to add a little glitter

 to the letters and the mermaid.

I finished up with some glittered sticker dots and

 this is the end result!

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Until next time 

Happy Crafting!
