There's no place like home...

Hi all!

Becky here today to share a little Wizard of Oz card I made for a girlfriend using the simple A7 Card in Candy Apple Bazzill CrissCross cardstock!

(Poppy photo courtesy of Wikipedia)

I decided to cover the front of the card with an image of a poppy field I found online. Then I layered over the bottom edge of the field that great checkerboard! It's actually a stamp I got from Lost Coast Designs! I embossed it in TH's Antique Linen Distress Embossing Powder for my "Yellow Brick Road." Dorothy was then "popped" onto the road. (I found her at a local scrapbook store, but forgot to see who make her!)

Inside, I added a stamped ATC card with this perfect image from Stamp Camp! I stamped it 2x - one on the card itself, then again in glue on another scrap to glitter the shoes & then added them on top of the other image. Viola! "Ruby" Slippers!!

More Relay For Life Cards

I have a few more quick cards to share today that I made for Terry- Creative Cuts and More and the Relay For Life Cancer walk.

Awareness ribbon # 2 small was used on this simple design.The middle one is pop dotted for dimension.

This is a Color Block Window A7 Scallop Card base with

A stamped background and flower peeking through.

For this design- I started with a very basic A7 card base and added some DCWV glitter paper.

So glad I could share a few more cards for the Creative Cuts and More store

The Queen of Fashion - A Birthday Card

Hi all, Becky here today to share this fun little card I made for one of my sister-in-laws' birthday last month.

I used a simple A7 (5x7) card in cream, but covered the front in some papers from a new Marie Antoinette DCWV stack. The little text piece, "this is our exciting adventure and..." is also from the paper stack & I thought it was perfect for my fashion-conscious sister-in-law!

I inked up all the edges to add to the shabby-vintage feel of it all...

The rest of the text, "we will look fabulous every step of the way."

Then I stamped my big Happy Birthday stamp onto an old journalling tag I had on hand, but CC&M has some great labels that would work for this too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hot Air Balloons in the Window

How fun is this?? I've had this image in my head for weeks and it's great when the finished card actually resembles what I envisioned. The hot air balloons are colored with Copic markers in some bright summery colors. I inked up the "sky" part of the sentiment with a turquoise marker, and then inked up the rest of the sentiment with a black ink dewdrop. The smaller dewdrop inkpad is perfect for small scale inking like this.

These window cards from Creative Cuts and More are so versatile and fun to use. I've done so many different kind of window cards over the past year - fall, winter, spring, summer, butterflies (my Sunday post), and more. I've got more ideas so stay tuned for more creative inspiration using these Four Pane Window Cards. :-) Hope you have a great week!

Glittered Butterflies in the Window

It's been a while since I played with my glitter, so I pulled them out and had fun getting all glitter-fied! Hee hee hee! For this card, I punched out the butterflies from some adhesive paper (it's sticky on one side and plain paper on the back side), pulled off the protective paper and glittered them up. I smooshed the glitter into the adhesive with my fingers just to make sure it was good and stuck and then brushed off the excess.

I used some 1/4" red liner tape from Creative Cuts and More and adhered it all around the window and on the windowpanes. I wanted a softer look around the window so it wouldn't distract from the colorful butterflies, so I went with a white Martha Stewart glitter.

The stamped sentiment just seemed appropriate with the beautiful butterflies, so I used a dark purple ink and stamped it directly on the card. Instead of adding a bunch of embellishments that would overshadow the delicate butterflies, I just tied a ribbon on the side.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

It's Grillin' Time!

Hi all, Becky from The Scrap-a-Teeny Girls here!
Sum, sum, sum, sum, sum, summertime!! Summertime!
Sum, sum, sum, sum, sum, summertime!! Summertime!
Sum, sum, sum, sum, sum, summertime!! Summertime!
The best part about summer-time to me is all the BBQ-ing going on! I love the smell of the grill! I have even joked with my husband when he steps in from the grill that he's wearing my favorite cologne! I JUST LOVE that charcoaly-smokey aroma stuck to his skin & clothes!!! Or simply stepping outside on a hot summer day to smell a grill working somewhere in the neighborhood! Ahhhhhh! Sum, sum, sum, sum, sum, summertime!! Summertime! Ok, I'll stop all that!

So, when I saw this die-cut, I knew I had to make a little "Q" card with it for my first post after the Patriotic Blog Hop! I may just have to do a little "Ode to the Q" on my personal blog soon too! It's pretty simple & I hope ya like it!

I used a CC&M A7 card in Bazzill Blue Canvas Textured cardstock.

I applied embossing ink & red embossing powder to parts of the Barbecue Grill #01-Small, but then I turned the grill over & "flicked" some of the crystals off the front. This allowed for only some of the areas on the grill to be shiny from embossing! When the diecut cooled off from embossing, I rubbed some "Tea dye" Distress Ink over the embossed areas to give it a more dirty-grilly-gritty look.

Once the grill was attached to the card, I ran a few light lines of "Star Dust" Stickles up to the corner of the card. Then, I punched some 1" stars (Fiskars) out of BoBunny's "Block Party Chill" patterned paper & scattered them over the Stickles with Glue Dots. Finally, I added the "BBQ" label & arrow from the BoBunny "All About the Family" collection.

That's it!

See you soon!
