Hello to all my wonderful followers, it is a steamy hot day in Southeastern  Wisconsin and that is unreal for this time of year, it’s in the 90’s. So good time to make card. It’s time for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twisted for this week is to add layers to your card/project. Our wonderful sponsor for the month of September is Bugaboo.

Stop by and see all the designers cards they did a beautiful job. The Spellbinder used to cut out image is Lacy Square. I know it is hard to tell but I did add some Wind of Stella ink glitter, it sure is pretty when you look at the card. I used mostly clear a little green. On the corners put some orange ribbon from Hobby Lobby. Sponged the outer areas with Brilliance ink color sky blue.

The sentiment is from TLcreations. They have so many free sentiments. The paper used is from Heidi’s flower/strips décor flocked cardstock. This fancy font is a little hard to read it say “Life is like a Butterfly it goes where it please and pleases where it goes”.

Nothing fancy on the inside. Used a corner punch called flower decorations 3 D/5. Left the inside open for a sentiment or a written message.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image.

Here is the close up of the image. Used a couple sequins and some glossy accents on her eyes and shoes.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

My card is 6” by 6”.

The dies I used are Cherry Lynn designs Italian flourish doily DL103, Spellbinders Bird S2-156, Spellbinders D-Lites S2-005 flourish trim die.

Added some lace I got from Hobby Lobby in the sewing department.  The bling squares I got at Joann’s store. Some metal stars that I had and some Stickles star dust. My paper is from my scrapes.

This is where I add the flourish trim die cut and that is why I made the card 6”. The sentiment is from Endless Creations. I stamped it with Brilliance ink color crimson.

close up of the square bling and the lace. The Bird die cuts is so beautiful but I should of use a doily that was more solid in the background, this way the bird would of stood out more.

Thanks so much for stopping, hope things are going good for you. Happy Crafting to everyone.

Lady Bug Fly Away

My card is very simple this week, why? I do not know…. I feel tired and need to get over that real fast. Our wonderful sponsor is Bugaboo and the image I choose to use is called Theodore. You should stop by The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and see all the designers wonderful card they have done this week. Oh ya the twist this week is ANYTHING GOES and for the month of
September Themes

Theodore is such a cutie but thought I would go with the lady bug theme. I did use Martha Steward lady bug corner and border. I will tell you how I got it to punch out so well if you do not want to know just skip over this. My card size is 5 1/2” by 5 1/2” and I needed to have the paper cut to 5” by 5” . Now you need to punch the corners out first making sure you get right into the corners. Now you can do the borders making sure your lady bug line up with the corner bug so now you have 2 lady bugs so the next cut you want to do is make sure the first lady bug line up with the first lady bug on the punch.  If you want another size to make a small square or have a problem let me know and I will help you or give you the measurements.

The sentiment and the (have no idea what you call it) Bee Buzz is from Whipper Snapper. Added some glossy accents, peal pen colors in red and black.

For the inside, did the same as out side. These are the copic markers used to color the image.

Sizzix Ticket #657569 is what I cut the image out with. Used a rag to get the texture on the bear by adding some alcohol to the rag and holding it on the image for a few seconds.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope all goes well and you have a great week end.
