Make a Wish

Hi there!

It's July 1st and once again, I find myself 

wondering where the first half of 2020 has gone?

Anyway, I suppose it is what it is and

the first of the month always brings a new challenge to

Cute As A Button!

This month our optional theme is

"Use Your Favorite Sketch".

Of course you can always go with the Anything Goes theme.

Any images from any company can be used,

although we'd love to see your projects using

Cute As A Button Stamps.

My card design is loosely based on this one...

I love using sketches, but usually 

put my own spin on them.

Do you like using sketches or

prefer to come up with your own design?

using Mermaid Serena

I colored the image with markers and fussy cut.

She is popped with foam tape onto layered die cut circles.

I die cut the embellishments placed in the lower left corner.

The sentiment was stamped, embossed and fussy cut.

Hope to see your creation entered into the challenge!

Wedding Card in Gold and White

Hey there!

I'm sharing some inspiration

for creating a classic and elegant wedding card on the

Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

I decided to use plain white and gold glitter card stocks

and a white 5 x 6.5 inch card base.

I used several die sets.

Sue Wilson Gemini Dies - Pictor

Tutti Designs Dies - Nesting Stitched Rectangles

Precious Marieke Wondrus Frame

Tutti Designs Dies - Wedding Canopy

Tutti Designs Word Set - Forever

Using the Sue Wilson die set I created borders

around a rectangular piece of white card stock.

This took a little bit of time but I like how it came out.

This die set is very versatile as you can use

the dies in many ways to create various edges.

I added gold glitter card to the white card base

and layered the border edged piece on to the gold.

Next I added a rectangle die cut in gold.

Then came the oval frame die cut, which was

adhered with foam tape.

The bride and groom from the wedding canopy

was added inside the frame.

I die cut the smaller "Forever" sentiment, added

to a small rectangle and popped across the lower edge 

of the oval piece.

I hope I've provided some inspiration for you to

 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you 

to come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. 

There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.

July Inspiration Cute As A Button

Hello there!

Today I'm sharing an inspiration project for this month on the
Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog!

I've created an altered frame using

Spring Daisies.

I started by coloring the image with Prismacolor Premier Pencils and fussy cutting.

I took a small wood frame from Michaels and traced it

on to the backside of the DP and cut.

Next the paper was decoupaged to the frame front.

I die cut layered ovals for the image backing and adhered

to the frame opening. I added daisies that were die cut and rolled,

a black bow created with ribbon and a title out of dazzles stickers.

Altering frames is one of my favorite things to craft

and love the way this one turned out.

I hope you like my project and

 that you'll check out this stamp

along with all the other  products available at

Cute As A Button!

And, don't forget to join us each month for the Blog Challenge

and the Facebook Progressive Challenge.

Beary Happy Wishes

Hello there!

Today's my day to share some more inspiration for

Digi Doodle Studios!

I created a sweet card using

Beary Wishes Pairables.

I love the little pairables sets!

They are so cute and have everything

you need to create great projects.

I colored with pencils and pens.

The focal image and butterflies were fussy cut.

I used a printed paper for the background and added 

a die cut and embossed frame behind the image.

I printed and fussy cut the sentiment.
