A Little Button Action

Greetings!

More fun techniques and birthday card ideas!  For today's post, I created a birthday card using Unity's February KOM stamp.  I love this tree image.  It begs to be embellished!  Many of the stamps from this KOM are used in their blinkies.  You can see it in "motion" on the blinkie on the left of my page.  Click it to see more ideas and to visit their new and improved blog!
This card was image was stamped and colored with my Copic markers.  I then added Distress Stickles in Broken China.  The buttons are attached with Glue Dots and string is added in the holes.
Have you seen the Homespun collection from GCD studios?  I love the vintage sewing pattern paper.  I used two DP from the line by Meody Ross along with my Unity stamp.  Label (Making Memories) with sentiment  (Hero Arts).  Ribbon is from Michael's.  Enjoy!

Moxie Fab Floss Ideas!

Greetings!
Got floss?  Well, for this crafty challenge I decided to sew floss to my page.
It is a little tricky to actually sew letters, but with the help of my trusty pencil I have conquered.

This a layout I created with a large heart die cut paper along with my "love" themed papers.
Each Valentine's Day, we purchase a heart shaped pizza from our local take and bake pizza shop-don't you just love little traditions like this?

Floss, floss and more floss. Try a new floss technique today!  Or click here for more inspiration.  Enjoy!

Butterfly Acetate

Greetings!
Today I was catching up on some co-worker birthday cards and I decided to try something new!
K& Co. makes these really cute butterfly acetate 3-D embellishments.  I thought these would be easy to re-create with a little stamp action and some acetate sheets.

So here is what I made:

First I stamped the butterfly from Hero Arts on Papertrey's White cardstock.  I then colored the butterfly with my Copic markers and cut out the image.  Next I stamped the same butterfly with Stazon on an acetate sheet.  Again cut out the image and used a glue dot to stick them together.  I then added a little glitter with my Quicki Glue Pen.

I went with Basic Grey's Origins line and used a Making Memories garment pin and jump ring to allow the butterfly to float on the card.  The sentiment is from Unity Stamps. Neato Cheeto!
Hope you enjoy!

SURPRISE!

Greetings!
This is one of those cards I might just give to one of my students.  I love giving cards out on their BIG 1st birthdays!

This is another one of my FREE stamp sets from Pink Cat studio.  This is from the Lily and Tweet set.  I also incorporated a banner digital image from Squigglefly. I love how I can re-size the images and make them work on any projects I work on! With this site, you can pick your designer or look through all of their images.  Super easy and REALLY fun!

Hugs In Every Language

Greetings!
One of my favorite bloggers Lolly Chops recently requested comments on how to say HUGS in different languages.  I of course responded with the Polish version of the word.  I love having Polish Power.  (or at least I think I have some special kind of power..hee hee).

Anyway, she said she was working on a special project that she would share with her readers.  Later in the week, she posted a word cloud with all the different versions of HUGS.  I LOVE IT!!!

I ended up copying the word cloud and shrank the design to fit a card front!  I thought it would look cool for a background paper.

Here are the products I used:
-stamps Unity
-punch Stamping Up and Nestabilities
-felt heart-created by yours truly with my Cuttlebug
-hand stitching
Ribbon May Arts
Enjoy!
