Happy birthday cupcake

Another quick post for another challenge card. 

This one is for Card Pattern's sketch challenge this week. 

I used my Cricut for the cupcake, cute huh?

Easter Bunnies

Hi there, So I had a few moments to make a card today, here's what I came up with. I was inspired by the colors from CR84FN, the sketch from Card Patterns, and Wee Memories' Springs is Near challenge for this week.

Its a beautiful day, and I have lots to do, so i'm going to run... Happy Monday everyone! 

P.S. Don't forget to stop by The Shabby Tea Room to join in on all the fun and prizes for the 1st birthday celebration!

Pretty roses

 

 I sat down to create yesterday, and although it took me some time to get going, eventually I started getting in the 'groove' ;o). So here's a card I made while inspiration struck.

I used Card Patterns' sketch for this week for the layout. 

I've been trying to use my scraps since my scrap drawer is overflowing. On this card I used scraps of DCWV Garden Stack, and PTI's music paper. Love that stuff. I got the postcard paper at Ms a while ago, can't remember who its by. 

Well, I gotta run, I have some sick kiddos to take care of. Happy Tuesday....

 

Celebrate buttons!

What a special treat, being a guest designer for Card Patterns sketch#104.

When I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use 6 buttons for the 6 squares, and everything else just came together. Of course all the PTI button inspiration, from last week, helped! 

I used some fabric scraps, and layered them onto a large manila tag.

I had a lot of fun going through my Papertrey Ink Vintage Buttons, to find the perfect ones for this card. Then I threaded them with some button twine and glued them to the squares.  Fun! 

The papers I used are October Afternoon, I love that green polka dot. The fabric scraps are Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane and I'm pretty sure the yellow floral is from Windham's storybook collection. 

I hope you're feeling a little inspired to play with this fun sketch! 

Flower clips card gift

I started by making these flowers out of my favorite fabric collection EVER, Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey. After the flowers were done, I though there's no way they are just going to be embellishments on a card, sticking there for all eternity.. they're way to cute for that! So I decided to turn them into hair clips by gluing a hair clip, that I covered in ribbon, on the back. 

But I still had a card to make, so instead of gluing (the horror!) these little cuties to the card, I added this extra strip of scrap fabric, only gluing down the ends. Oh how I love every single fabric in that collection! 

I clipped the little flowers onto the piece of fabric....

There! I have my card done, but those flowers come off and can be clipped in your hair, on your headband, or even in your jacket's button hole...like a brooch, but not...  This card and gift in one is perfect for girls of all ages. I would totally wear those flowers in my hair, and they would look adorable in my 3yr olds hair too (if she had any left... she gave herself a hair cut a few days ago and is now sporting a mullet a la Joe Dirt...)

This whole thing started with a bit of inspiration I got from The Shabby Tea Room for their buttons and bows challenge 

And Card Patterns' sketch 103. 

(P.S. I made the flowers with PTI's Beautiful Blooms#1 dies, I used 8 fabric flowers to create one big fluffly one. It took a lot of die cutting, folding, and burning my fingers with hot glue.)

I also linked this card to Someday Crafts for their Whatever Goes Wednesday.
