SSSC287, Pretty Butterfly!

Hello, I made this for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC287. I was picking up scraps of paper a little while back, and ended up with the combo of crumb cake, so saffron and crisp cantetope in my hand and really liked it, so I thought I'd try it on this card.

I used the Stampin up Butterfly Basics set in the background. I covered a strip of white cardstock with washi tape that little gold hearts, which makes the pattern stand out more.

Have a Great Day!

FMS204, She's Shopkinz Crazy!!!

Hello, I made this card for my Niece's Birthday. Apparently the latest craze is Shopkinz, tiny little characters of food and household items with cute little faces! So since that is what her gift is, I decided to make a card to go along with the theme.

I also used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch FMS204.

The doughnut was made with circle dies and circle punches. For the pink icing part, it was a circle then I trimmed the edge by hand to give it a less perfect look! I used SU Sprinkles of life to stamp the sprinkles in pixie pink and tempting turquoise. The base of the doughnut is creamy caramel and the feet were made with the ends of a flouish punch.

 For the cupcake, I used the SU Create a cupcake set and stamped the base in daffodil delight onto white. The hands and feet were punched from daffodil delight cardstock with a tear drop shaped punch.  For the cute little faces, I used a set from Your Next Stamp.

The card base is pixie pink, with a layer of white embossed with the Seeing Spots embossing folder. The designer paper is from My Minds Eye-happy day.

Have a Great Day!

ABC, Hunky Post-it Note Holder

 Hello, it's Anything But A Card day at Catch The Bug, and today I've made a Post-it Note holder! My Daughter Olivia is starting Grade 10 this year and she loves Thor so I've made her this Hunky Post-it note holder for her desk!

I used Thor Superhero from Bugaboo Stamps, and coloured him with copics. I couldn't find a tutorial for making the box, so I made it myself. The post-it notes are 3"x3" so here's how I made it...

Cut 2 pieces of black cardstock 6.75" x 2.75" with the long side along the top of your score tray score at 3 1/8" and 6.25" this will leave you 1/2" at the end to glue to the other piece. Then score both pieces at 1.5" down the length. Then snip the folds on the 1.25" side up to the score line as shown.

Glue the two pieces together, fold in the flaps and glue in place (there will be a hole in the middle) 

Cut 2 pieces 3"x3", glue one down on the inside and glue one onto the bottom...this will firm up the bottom and cover the hole.
The piece around the outside is going grey sponged with basic grey and embossed with Darice - crackle embossing folder then I ran an encore silver ink pad over it. I did the same with the backing piece behind the image, I like the way it looks like worn hammered metal!
I think I might make myself one of these, maybe with the adorable Kitties from Bugaboo Stamps
Have a Great Day!
