Mini Squares

I used a 1 inch ruffled square punch and punched out a multitude of  squares
Inking each square around the edges

On a mat of white paper 5x6" I drew a faint pencil line diagonally from corner to corner
Working from the middle I started placing my squares along this line
Moving from row to row until the entire surface was covered, leaving a small space
between each square showing the mat below
I trimmed the square to 4 x 51/4" and placed it on my card front

Next I punched out a Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly,
Inked the edges and used some Diamond Stickles on the wings
I took some light weight purple beading wire to form the antenna
and popped the butterfly up on the lower left of my card front.

On the inside I used a script stamp over a piece of printed paper from
the K&Company Best of Brenda Walton stack
I was given the butterfly (which was cut on white cardstock) in a RAK
so I used some spray and glittered it up,
ran it through the Polka Dot Embossing Folder in my Cuttlebug and
stamped it with a My Sentiments Exactly stamp

The last step was placing some small pearls
where each square met at the corners

Ooops!

The Grandson of Kay, who is in my Yahoo group, fell and broke his arm. He had to go to Portland to have it set with pins, he's only 4. So a bunch of us decided it would be nice to send him some cheery get well cards.

Printed the saying from the computer and cut it and two mats with my Cuttlebug and a Spellbinders die.

Added a little white stitching to this cut out from a Wallpaper book

Just thought the bandage was so appropriate!

Get Well with Cricut cut out

Here's one of the first cards I've made using my new Cricut Expression. I used SCAL to import the Greeting for the front (from SVG Cuts), the three mats behind it are from a label svg file from Doodle Lious.

I used Glossy Accents on the flower and added the stone bling. Inside is a sentiment rub on from MSE. Solid cardstock from Martha Stewart. the first mat behind the sentiment on the front is actually some old notepaper I've been shoving around for years, it had just the right swirls to work great behind this. I also used the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Blender with my inks on the other mats. This was in my stocking on Christmas morning and I'm loving the soft blended look it's giving my paper. The corners were chomped with the Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper, another present at Christmas!!! I'm lovin' Christmas.

The little bow on the front of the card was made by my Secret Santa Judee, thanks Judee, I'm really loving these tiny bows!!

Get Well

From Paper Wishes Feminine card kit

Guess What!

I needed a Get Well card so started hunting in my digital supplies. I settled on a couple of kits from Cottage Arts, Garden Surprise Elements - I took the Bird 35, printed and cut him out and then drew the legs and tail back on.
I also used the Daisy Dreams Pak - I just loved the Magnifying Glass so I printed it on the Paper Daisies with the text underneath and then reprinted it again on white card stock.

I cut the middle out and replaced it with a circle of transparent film --

For the inside I used the Paper Dots and colored the dashes with a pink glitter pen from American Crafts. I inked all the edges with Color Box, added a ribbon l bought from Michaels, and used the glittery flowers and brad from 3 Birds for embellishment. The font is Pea Kate downloaded free from Fonts for Peas.

Get Well

I took Joyce de Jonge's Outside My Window kit and Printed the front/back of the card, then reprinted the flower on heavy weight paper, cut it out and inked the edges and placed it with pop dots above the other. I taped ribbon on each of the undersides before adhering to the card front. Additional rub ons were used on the front and inside and some sparkle dots.
