Cute as a Button

I have a cute card for you today. It's for the Sketch N Stash Challenge 116 and DT Call .
Here's my take on it.
 
I stamped the "Cute-A-Tude" Image onto ultra smooth premium cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black.I colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers and paper-pieced the dress with the same Glitter Paper from the Base card.
 
 
 
 I used the scalloped die to cut out the image and adhered that to a large Scalloped die in Pink. This was adhered to the card with pop dots. I used a button and twine for her hair embellishment. Paper sprigs, ribbon, pearls and other buttons were used to finish off the card according to the sketch. 
 
 
 
Supplies:
Cardstock/Paper: American Crafts Cardstock- Spring Collection, Fancypants Designs paper in Glittered Dotted Mint, & ultra smooth premium cardstock for alcohol Markers from Crafter's Companion.
Stamps: Pure Innocence- Being Cute is What I do Sentiment and Cute-A-Tude Stamp
Die: Scalloped Oval from Spellbinders, Sprigs from Cricut Cindy Loo Collection.
Adhesives: Glue stick, Scor-Tape, Pop Dots
Color Medium: Spectrum Noir Markers
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Color Box Petal Point Pigment Ink in Purple and Mint.
Embellishments: Ribbon, twine , Pearls and Buttons from Michael's

Love Birds...

Love is Tweet!
 
For today's card I wanted to use this Quackers stamp from Just Inklined. I used a tree die cut from Cricut's Cindy Loo Collection. Fishtail Flags Dies from My Favorite Things and Spellbinders Label 13. Cuttlebug "Pinking Stitch" and "Circles" Embossing Folders.The leave's are from a Cuttlebug Daisy Kit and the flowers from Fiskars Flower Punch.The Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps "Aww, So Tweet! Sentiments".
 
 
 I colored the Digi with Spectrum Noir Markers and one of the birds twice for 3D effect.

 
I used pop dots on the original image and again on the second bird to give it some dimension.
 
 
For the inside of the card, I used a smaller die cut of the tree and the "Love is Tweet" Sentiment.
 

 
 
 
Pop dots, glue stick, Double Sided-Tape and a Xyron Adhesive were used for adhesives. Pearls were used for the flower centre's and embellishments on the sentiments.
 
 
I am hoping to enter this card in the following challenges:
 
 
 
 
Happy Craftin'!

Girlie Birthday!

Good Morning! Today I have a Girlie Birthday card to share.




For this Shaped Easel card I used different shades of purple cardstock from American Crafts and Purple Gingham Paper from Recollections. I used a Bestie Digi by Sherri Baldy which can be found HERE. These images are so adorable and so much fun to color. I used Spectrum noir alcohol markers to color the image and Dew Drop Chalk in Perfect Plumeria to shade the die cut edge.


To shape the card, I used  the “Cherish” Punch Around the Page punch from Martha Stewart Crafts and the Valerian Flourish Die from Memory Box. Labels 14 from Spellbinders Nestabilities were used with the Birthday Sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Happiest Birthday Wishes collection for the inside of the card. 


Liquid Pearls in Lavender, Diamond Stickles, Purple Brads, ribbon and Bling from my stash were used for embellishments.
