Cute As A Button Inspiration

Hi there!

Today I'm over on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog

sharing a twisted easel card I put together using

"Button Love".

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Colourblend Pencils.

I pulled out a 6.5 x 5 inch card base, DP, white and purple card stock.

Next I scored the front of the card base diagonally

from the top right corner down to the lower left corner.

I cut the purple card stock to 6.5 x 5 inches

and adhered to the bottom of the card base along the score line.

I took the DP and matted with white card stock before 

adhering to the purple base.

I also matted the image, positioned a white paper doily

behind the image piece and adhered.

I added some buttons in various sizes and colors.

I created a border on the inside of the card

with the card stock, some die cut flowers 

and a stamped sentiment.

Small buttons were added to the card stock border.

I hope I've provided a little bit of inspiration to you today!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

Crafters's Companion Quilled Flowers

Hey there!

Today I'm sharing a project I created using

new products from 

Crafter's Companion.

If you haven't seen their quilled flowers dies yet

you need to check them out!

It is so easy to create something beautiful

using a multitude of materials.

I created an altered letter using the "Shabby Rose" dies

and the "Assorted Leaves" dies.

The flower dies come in a set of 2

so you are able to create different size flowers.

I used pink copy paper for mine,

but you can use card stock, felt, crafting metal, etc!

I purchased an MDF letter, painted with acrylic paint

and decopauged printed paper on the front.

I used one of the new ribbon threading dies

called "Elegance" across the top. 

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

Floral Fantasy

Happy Saturday everyone!

I hope you're all off to a great weekend!

Today I want to share a card I created

using products from the new

Floral Fantasy Collection from

Crafter's Companion.

This is a great collection that includes

papers, stamps, embossing folders, luxury foils and transfers

and dies to create corners, borders, sentiments and flowers.

My card is a fairly simple design and was created

using one of the border dies and a flower stamp.

My background paper is from 

Luxury Cardstock Purple Pack.

The flowers were stamped on 

Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock

and colored with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Markers

in clear, amethyst and cosmos.

I stamped the flower 3 times and hand cut after coloring.

The sentiment was stamped and cut into a banner shape.

I added a bow and some gems to finish!

I hope I've provided a little inspiration 

and that you'll check out these products!

Be Mine, Valentine

Hello, hello!

How's it going?

I haven't made too many Valentine cards yet this year.

So I thought I'd work on some and knew I wanted

to use this cute image from

Imagine That Digistamp!

Valentine Freddy

The image was colored with Spectrum Noir Colourblend Pencils

and fussy cut before adhering to this fairly simple sketch.

I printed the sentiment and die cut with a Tailored Expression label die.

How are you coming along with your Valentine cards?

I hope I've given you just a little bit of inspiration

 to get some started, if you haven't!

Thanks for taking a look and

Happy Crafting!
