Holiday cards for my blog day on Little Blue Button Stamps

I made a couple of holiday cards for my day on the blog.  They are both 5 X 7 cards and I started with white card stock bases.  I tried my hand at layering lots of different pieces of patterned paper.  I used a piece of green card stock from my stash that I adhered to the white card stock base.  I then took pieces of patterned paper from the Echo Park Reflections Christmas and added the strips to the bottom and top of the green card stock. I then took a piece of red card stock and adhered it to the top of the other papers.  I took a piece of packaging that was embossed with snowflakes on cardboard and inked it up with some blue Memento dew drop ink and then placed it on the left hand side of the card.  I colored up the adorable Ragdoll Sweetheart skating with my Copic markers. I also added White Opal liquid pearls to the fur on her outfit.   I will list the colors underneath the photo of the card.  I placed a piece of red lace across the top part of the card.  I adhered another strip of patterned paper on the bottom across the red card stock and then I added a piece of burlap ribbon.  I put a metal rhinestone piece on top of the ribbon along with a crochet flower.  I added rhinestone snowflakes randomly on the card.  

Copic colors:  

muffs, mittens, and scarfs = BG72 and colorless blender

coat and pants = R35 and R37

skin = Satin, dusty pink, and blush promarker

Hair = E11, E13 and E31

skates= Silver metallic Sharpie and 100 

The second card I made using the Waiting for Christmas image.  I used a white 5 X 7 card stock base.  I then used a piece of patterned green paper from DCWV for the bottom.  I added some red and black polka dot paper from Echo Park Reflections Christmas patterned paper.  I placed one piece on the top of the green paper and then I added a 4 X 6 piece of another polka dot paper.  I added a piece of green lined patterned paper in a strip down the left hand side of the card.  I  placed an addition piece of  the red and black polka dot paper to the top of the bottom part of the card.  I placed a silver applique piece on the right hand side of the polka dot strip with a metal piece on top of that.  I colored the image up with my Copics and will list the colors under the photo.  I used some red stickles on her shirt.  Thanks for looking.

Skin = Satin, dusty pink and blush Promarker

lips= RV10

shirt = R35 and R37

candy canes in her hair= Atiyou Spica pens

Hair = Y02, Y11 and Y04

My DT day on Little Blue Buttons stamp

I decided to create a couple of cards using the Eris catching snowflakes image.  I used white cardstock A2 size bases.  On the first card I added a piece of patterned striped paper from My Minds Eye.  I used a white cardstock piece that I cut with an SVG file on my Silhouette machine and stamped it with a Happy Holidays sentiment.  I colored the image with my Copics and will list the colors under the photo. I added a metal crown charm to Eris .  I then added the image to some red cardstock and adhered it to the left hand side of the card.

Coats=R35 and R29

skin= Dusty pink and blush Promaker

Hair= Y06 and Y04

Mittens and Eris friend= Cloud 9 grey Bic marker

The next card has green snowflake patterned paper from My Minds Eye.  I then used the same SVG file and stamped with the Happy Holiday sentiment stamp.  I used foam tape to adhere this to the bottom right hand side of the card.  I colored the image using the Copic markers listed above.  I added a metallic crown charm to the top of Eris head.  I then adhered the square to some red cardstock.  Thanks for looking.

My DT day at Little Blue Button Stamps

I chose to use the adorable Miss Lilly with umbrella and also Sunny with umbrella to create a cute scene card.  I used a 5 X 7 white card stock base and then I inked around the card with my red chalk ink.  I added a piece of My Minds Eye Christmas patterned paper.  I used a banner stamp which I embossed with green glitter embossing powder and then I stamped the sentiment in it.  I placed on the bottom of the card.  I then added my images above that which I colored with my Copic markers and they will be listed below the image.   I punched some blue card stock using my Fiskars cloud punch and then added rain drops using some blue Stickles glitter glue.  Thanks for looking

My next project for today is a desk calender using Little Blue Buttons calender printable.  I used a piece of heavy cardboard.  I created an easel out of cardstock as well for the back and covered it with patterned paper.  I hot glued the easel to the back of the carrdboard piece.  I then adhered some lavender lace that I got at my local Goodwill store all around the piece of cardboard.  I took a piece of patterned paper from my scrap drawer and glued it to the cardboard using my red score tape.  I inked around each calender page with my purple chalk ink.  I punched the holes in each calender page and then in the cardboard.  I used some jewel tone rhinestone brads in purple to adhered the pages to the cardboard.  Thanks for looking.

A new digital stamp place and a challenge

I found out about this gal who is creating super cute digital images and trying to earn money for college.  You can find her images here and it is called Jess college fund.   I purchased a couple of the super fun images.  I love coffee and so I always like to find images.  She also had an adorable camera image and so I got that also because it will be fun for cards or scrapbooking.  I chose to use fall colors for this card.  I used a white 5 X 7 cardstock base.  Then I added some heart paper from my paper scraps.  I adhered a piece of burgundy lace that I got at my local Goodwill to the bottom of the card.  I then took a strip of patterned paper from DCWV Tradewinds stack and added it on top of the lace.  I then took a small strip of glitter paper from my scraps and cut it into a banner shape and glued on top of the other strip of paper.  I then tucked a 4 inch circle of green patterned paper that I got from my scrap bin as well.  I colored up the Jess image with my Copic markers and I added glossy accents to the eyes and camera lense.  Thanks for looking.

One Little Dreamer OKTOBER FEST Challenge

I decided to alter some small wooden spools for this challenge.  I added some pink acrylic paint to one of the spools and Gesso to the other soiik   .  I use my hot glue gun and added a Tim Holtz pearl bauble to the top of the spools.  I took the pink spool and glued on the beautiful pink pearl and rhinestone trim from Aarti's One Little Dreamer shop on Zibbet.    I took a strip of patterned paper from Paper Studio from the Kirby Teesdale paper pack and glued it to the white spool.  The pattern and designs are very shabby chic and vintage.   I then took the rhinestone-pearl trim from Aarti's One Little Dreamer shop and glued it to the very top edge of the spool.  I decided to adhere a strip of flat back pink pearls to the bottom edge of the spool.  Thanks for looking.

A treat bag holder made from an Envelope

Today is my blog post day and I decided to make a treat envelope that is the latest craze on Youtube.  They  started out making them using the envelopes from the corrugated cards that you buy at Micheal's.  It seems that sometimes when we get our cards made they are too bulky to fit into the envelopes so we have a lot of them left over.  This is a great way to use them up.  They are so fun and easy to make.  I actually used a large envelope that fits a 5 X 7 card to make this.  You take your envelope and at the bottom of it you score it up one inch on both sides.   You then fold on the score lines and then on each side you form a triangle and hot glue it to the bottom which will then form a very nice base for your treat bag.  

I used some polka dot patterned paper form My Minds Eye Christmas paper stack to cover the front of the envelope.  I then used a piece of braided trim all around the top edge of the envelope and I hot glued it on folding it over as I went so you could see it on both sides.  I also added to strip to either side of the envelope.  I add a piece of DCWV patterned paper to the back of the envelope that looked like faux leather.  I decided to use the adorable Eris "Cup of Hot Chocolate" stamp.  I thought it would be perfect because I could add some cocoa packets to my treat.  I colored the image in with my Copic markers and will list them below the photo of the colored image.  I inked around my colored image with Memento London Fog ink.   I created a flower out of some beautiful crochet lace by gathering it up with a needle and thread.  I then added a latex flower to the center of the crochet flower and was able to form the petals and leaves how I wanted them.  I hot glued the flower to the left hand side of the treat bag.  I used a Memory box die called "Victorian Frames" to cut out a piece of patterned paper and place it in the center of the envelope and then placed the colored image on top of that.  Thanks for looking and I hope you are inspired to create your own treat bag out of an envelope.  You can do this same thing with any size envelope.

 

Copic colors:

Hair: C7 and Flex promarker in black

Skin: Dusty pink and Satin promaker

Dragon: C7

Cup: B93 and B95

Jacket: G45, YG97

Crowns: Gold metallic sharpie marker

One Little Dreamer OKTOBER FEST Challenge

I decided to create a treat bag out of an envelope like a lot of the ladies on Youtube are doing.  You take your envelope and any size will work for this.  You put it on the score board and score up one inch or 3/4 of an inch from the bottom of the envelope.  You score it on both sides of the envelope and then you fold on the score line to crease it.  It is much easier I have discovered to glue the patterned paper on before you fold up the bottom of the envelope.  I chose to use Kirby Teasdale patterned paper from Paper Studio on this envelope.  I chose a beautiful design for the front that didn't need much embellishing and another gorgeous flower and butterfly design for the back of the envelope.  I glued those on.   Once the papers were glued down to the envelope then you fold up the bottom my fold both of the score lines on either side of the envelope and then at each of the sides you make a triangle shape and hot glue that to the bottom to form a nice solid base for your envelope to become a treat bag.   I chose the wonderful pearl trim from Aarti's One Little Dreamer Zibbet shop to go along the triangle edge of the envelope and the inside back.  You just stick the flap of the envelope inside and seal it shut. 

I chose the beautiful pink floral trim from One Little Dreamer shop to go along the top edge of the papers since they didn't quite go all the way to the top of the envelope.  This was the perfect addition to this cute treat bag.  I also put some pink small roses from my stash in the upper right and left hand corners of the treat bag.  On the right hand side I also used a small piece of the wonderful leaf and rhinestone trim that One Little Dreamer shop sells as well.  These treat bags are wonderful gifts for friends.  I hope you enjoyed seeing this project and will try to make one for yourself.

DT day on LIittle Blue Buttons Blog

I created a couple of cards for my Design Team day on the blog. The first one is a 5 X 7 white cardstock base.  I took a piece of DCWV burlap paper along with some patterned paper that I punched out along the edge with my scalloped Fiskar border punch.  I adhered this to the card base.  I then had some tags in my stash that I had used a stencil and some modeling paste that I had colored with Tim Holtz picked raspberry color so I distressed the tag further with the picked raspberry distress ink.  I then put some lace and organiza trim on the top of the tag and adhered it to the card front.  I made a flower out of some paper using my Sizzix die.   The other flower is a silk one that I had gotten in a Michaels grab bag and I put a button in the center and glued it to the corner of my card on top of the tag.  I then used a pretty pink sequin trim along the bottom of the card.    I used a stick pin from my stash to add behind the paper flowers.  The image that I used on my card is the "Tea Time Jessica".  I colored her with my Copic markers.  I will list the colors under the photo.  I added some glossy accents to her eyes and the coffee cup.  Thanks for looking.

Copic colors:
Chair: E13, E15
dress: RV14, RV25, Bic cloud 9 grey marker
Skin:  promarker in Satan, ivory, and blush
Hair: Y06, Y08
Eyes: B02


The next card that I created is a small paper bag card.  I used a tiny paper bag that was given to me in a RAK.  I folded it in half and then I glued the one flap on the inside down on the edges which creates a pocket.  I took a square piece of patterned paper and adhered it to the front of the card.  I added a small piece of lace to the card edge before I glued the square piece down.  I adhered another strip of lace to the other half of the card underneath the paper so that I could die the lace in a bow to close up my card.   I used the adorable Miss Lilly Kitty for this card.  I used patterned paper from My Mind's Eye.  I added the colored image to the front right hand side of the card front along with a small pink flower.  I took a label that I cut out of a piece of the patterned paper and added it to the left hand side of the card.  Thanks for looking.

One Little Dreamer Oktoberfest Challenge

I am making a friend an altered cupcake tin and so I wanted to add some cute cupcakes.  I saw where you can take those small peat pots and make them into the cutest cupcakes.  I took a 12 inch strip of designer scrapbook paper and scored it at every 1/4 inch on my Martha Stewart score board and then I folded all the score lines to make the cupcake wrapper.  I hot glued the strip together to form a circle and then glued it on the bottom of the peat pot.  I then added a strip of vintage lace from my stash along the top edge of the pot.   I made a shabby chic flower out of the beautiful rosette trim from Aarti's "One Little Dreamer" Zibbet shop.  She has amazing colors of this trim.  You cut the flowers in half and then fold in thirds to create this wonderful flower.  You adhere the petals to a piece of cardstock and this becomes the top of your cupcake but it is also a holder for goodies in your muffin tin.  Thanks for looking.

One Little Dreamer OKTOBER FEST Challenge

I decided to create 4 small cards that would fit into the tin that I altered for this wonderful challenge that Aarti is having with some amazing prizes up for grabs.  I love the stuff that Aarti sells in her Zibbets shop called "One Little Dreamer".  I have purchased her rosettes and they are just beautiful.  I chose to make these cards pretty simple using the wonderful stamp set of Aarti's called "Letter games".  One a couple of the cards I actually stamped the outline and letters right onto the card front after I adhered some My Minds Eye patterned paper.

For one of the cards I chose to use a cut file that I created on my Silhouette machine that would cut out the pieces for me from cardstock so I could stamp Aarti's leter stamps and then I would have my very own Scrabble tiles.  If you cut out multiple layers and adhered together it does actually give you the dimension of a tile.   I chose to use a few of her gorgeous rosette flowers.  I used some lace trims underneath a couple of the large rosette flowers to form another flower.   I placed some pretty beads from my stash in the center of the rosettes.  Thanks for looking.

One Little Dreamer OKTOBER FEST Challenge

I had gotten a wallet for my husband and it came this really neat black tin which I decided to save to alter.  I thought this challenge would be a perfect time to use this tin.  I had made up some turquoise color paint to alter a piece of grunge board for a box that I was making for another challenge and I had left over paint that I didn't want to throw away so I had painted the lid of this box.  I adhered some lace that I found from my local thrift shop to the edge of the lid and then I placed a piece of crochet trim on top of the lace.   I then glued on a piece of rhinestone bling trim to the top outer edge of the lid.  I made a flower spray out of a pearl spray, flowers.  I adhered a doily to the front of the lid and then put a black flower in the center of the doily.  I then adhered the flower spray that I made to the top of the doily on the left hand side.  I used a beautiful rosette from Aarti's One Little Dreamer shop and placed it over the end of the spray.  I stamped out the outlines of the tiles from the stamp set that One Little Dreamer has called "Letter Games".  I then stamped out the letters to spell cards.  I adhered these tiles to the front of the top of the lid and then placed glossy accents over the top so they would stand out.

I adhered a piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the tin along with some glass pebble feet.  I also took a piece of designer paper from the paper pad and adhered it to the inside of the tin.  Thanks for looking.

One Little Dreamer OKTOBER FEST Challenge

Aarti who is the owner of One Little Dreamer shop on Zibbet is having a very fun challenge this month and a YT hop.  I got this birdhouse in a grab bag at Michaels a few weeks ago.  It was paper mache and I painted it with some metallic brown CraftSmart paint.  I then adhered the beautiful gold trim from The One Little Dreamer shop to the roof.   I then took a strand of brown pearl beads and adhered them around the circle opening of the bird house.  I adhered a cute bird that I had found at my local thrift shop to the roof of the bird house.  Thanks for looking.

DT day for Little Blue Button Stamps

I started with a 5 X 7 white cardstock base.  I added one large piece of Basic Grey Olivia patterned paper to which I added a 1 and a 1 1/2 inch strip of patterned paper that I punched out using my Fiskars postage border punch.    I adhered another piece of heart patterned paper from the same collection to the right hand side of that.  I cut out the adorable "Eris" image with a My Favorite Things  Postage Stamp Stax.  I colored the image with my Copics and will list the marker colors down below the image.  I fussy cut some flowers out of some of the same patterned paper line and added them to the left hand side of the card at the top and the bottom right hand corner of the card.   I used a Spellbinders Label 2 die to cut out a piece of gray cardstock and stamped a "Hello" sentiment from the Well Worn Greetings from My Favorite Things.

DT day on Little Blue Button Stamps Blog

I made 2 cards for my Design Team Day on the blog at Little Blue Button Stamps.  The first card I created is a 5 X 7.  I started with a blank white card base and added a piece of 6 X 6 patterned paper from My Minds Eye Collectable collection called "Memorable".  I added a piece of white lace that I found at my local thrift shop to the bottom of the card.  I then took apart a flower bouquet from Michael's and made a flower to which I added a piece of heart bling that I got in a RAK.  I added this flower to the bottom left of the card.    I took two strips of patterned paper from the same collection and made banners out of them.  I then adhered them to the top left hand corner of the card.

I took my My Favorite Things Label Stax #2 die in the largest size and die cut a piece of the patterned paper from that same "Memorable" collection.  I colored up the adorable LBBS image called " Rag Doll Sweetheart Big Sweater" with my Copic markers.  I will have the colors that I used listed below the image.    I stickled her tights with Cotton Candy Stickles.

The next card is an A2 size white card base.  I took a sheet of vintage music paper that I got in a RAK and I inked it with Frayed Burlap distress ink and then tore it to fit on my card.  I printed out the Vintage paper from Little Blue Button Stamps that had the vintage feel and clocks on it.  I then inked the edges of that with the same Frayed Burlap distress ink and added it to the bottom right hand corner of the card.  I then took a piece from the My Minds Eye Collectable patterned paper called "Memorable" that says "So Happy Together" on it and inked the edges with the distress ink and added it to the top left corner of my card.  I took the beautiful Little Blue Button Stamps image called "Wedding Jessica" and colored her with my Copics.  I will list the markers below the image of my card.  I also used the clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on the dress and veil.

Here is the card that I created using the first "Eris" digi stamp.  I used a white 5 X 7 card base and then I cut a 6 X 6 piece of DCWV corrugated cardstock to fit on the card with a small margin around it.  I used a small strip of paper along the button from Fancy Pants Country Boutique paper line.  I then added a beautiful strip of Venice lace and another cotton lace on top of that with a strip of polka dot ribbon.  I then took a rectangle of the same Fancy Pants Country Boutique paper line along with another strip from the patterned paper which I trimmed using my Fiskar Upper Crest border punch.  I adhered those two pieces together and placed then on top of the corrugated paper.

I then cut out the images with an oval My Favorite Thing die and colored her in with my Copic markers.  I will list the colors below the image of the card.  I inked the oval with my Memento black ink and added a princess crown that I received from a friend.  I added some beautiful flowers that I purchased from craftycity.com around the bottom left hand side of the oval.  I cut out a banner shape from some more of the Fancy Pants Country Boutique patterned paper and stamped out a sentiment from a My Minds Eye stamp set that says "So happy".  I added an embellishment from TPC Studio to the one side of the banner.

DT post for Little Blue Button Stamp

Hello ladies it is Marla H. (craftymarla.blogspot.com) and Marla H. on YouTube here for my DT day.  I chose to use Watering plants Ivy for my first card.  This is an adorable summer time image and so fun to color.    I chose a white 5 X 7 cardstock base.  I then added a piece of Pink Paislee pattern paper from the Spring Jubilee line that I got in a RAK to the base of the card.  I then adhered a Webster's Pages journaling card to the top left hand corner of the patterned paper.  I used my Grassy Edges My Favorite Things die to cut out some green cardstock and adhere to the bottom of the card.  I cut out the Greeting Farm fence die with some dark brown cardstock and added it in between the two layers of grass die cuts.  I colored the adorable Ivy with my markers, the list will be below the photo. I added waterfall stickles to the water drops.  I also added Spiced Marmalade stickles to her hair bow and flower on her hat. I used a technique on her hat to give it added texture that I learned from Amadoreros on YouTube.  It is to use some Copic blender refill or alcohol blending solution on a piece of paper towel and just dab it on the colored hat.  I really like the way it gives it more of a straw like texture.   I then added 3 small flowers that I purchased online in the bottom right hand corner of the card.  TFS

skin= Ivory and Satin promarker

hair = Y02, Y04, Y11

dress, bow and hat band= YR02, YR61

hat = E21 and E31

water can= Metallic silver sharpie

  

I used a white 5 X 7 card stock base.  I added a piece of patterned paper from My Minds Eye dwell to the card front.  I then cut out a banner of another piece of paper from the same collection and adhered it to the bottom of the card. I then glued on a Prima Lyric wood button to the banner.  I glued a Webster's page journaling spot card to the right hand side of the card with another journaling spot from Echo Park tucked in behind that.  I die cut the Well Worn Greetings My Favorite Thing die from another piece of the My Minds Eye "Dwell" patterned paper.  I took the Love Sentiments2 from Little Blue Button Stamps and die cut the sentiment with another one of the Well Worn Greetings die from My Favorite Things.  I inked the edges of the sentiment with peeled paint distress ink and glued to the other label die.  I colored up the adorable jar of hearts image with my markers.  The colors will be listed below the photo and then I added some frosted lace stickles to her belt and hair bow.  I added peeled paint distress stickles to the heart in her hair.  I then added some glossy accents to the jar to make it look more realistic.  Thanks for looking

DT day on Little Blue Button Stamps Blog

It is Marla H. here for my DT day and I chose to use the adorable Miss Lily Cup of Tea for my two cards.  I used some beautiful BoBunny C'est LaVie Collection that was given to me by Lydia (Itripledogdareu) on Youtube in a RAK.  I used  a white 5 X 7 card base and added a couple of different pieces of the patterned paper to the base.   I then took a piece of vintage lace from my collection and added it to where the seam of the two papers is.   I colored up the adorable Miss Lily with my Copic markers.  I used YR00, E50 and E53 for the skin.  I used E89, E47 and E79 for the hair.  I used some Ditto glitter glue on her shoes and hair bow.  I also added some glossy accents to her eyes and the tea.

I cut out a small table with my Silhouette cutting machine and then I placed a Kaisercraft wooden tea cup on the table.   I used a sentiment from a Sweet and Sassy stamp set.  

The second card for today was made using the same image.  I also used the very same paper pad.  I chose to use two different pieces of patterned paper again which I adhered to my 5 X 7 white cardstock base.  I used a beautiful vintage piece of heart trim from my stash where the seam of the papers was.  I then added a doily from my stash to the center of the card.  I colored up Miss Lily using my markers.  I used my ivory and dusty pink Promarker for the skin.  I used E11, E13, and E15 for her hair.  I used BG72 for the mug and added some glossy accents to the tea part.  I used R56 to color in her dress, bow, and shoes.  I then added some stickles to her shoes and bow.  I punched out a circle using my Fiskars circle punch on the patterned paper and stamped a sentiment from a Fiskar stamp set.  I then inked the edges of the circle with Tim Holtz aged mahogany distress ink and placed it on the doily.  I then took a couple of Studio Calico butterflies that I received in a RAK from NurseLarelle on YT.  

Greeting Farm "Farm Fresh Friday" Challenge

I love the Greeting Farm stamps and they have very fun challenges on their blog.  This Friday's challenge is the Great Outdoors.  I chose to use the Sitting Lovely stamp set.  I stamped the bench using Versamark ink and then embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I colored the girl with my Copic markers and paper pieced her boots and clothes with the Echo Park "Beautiful Life" patterned paper.  I used some Stickles on her hair barettes and popped her up on the bench using foam tape.

I used a piece of pink cardstock in the A2 size.  I cut a strip of grass using my Grassy Edges My Favorite Thing die and placed it underneath the bench.  I stamped out the flowers from the Sitting Lovely stamp set and then used my Broken China distress stickles to color them in.  I used the My Favorite Things postage Stamp Stax die to cut out a piece of the Echo Park "Beautiful Life" patterned paper and then stamped the sentiment from the stamp set.  Thanks for looking.

Design Team Projects for Little Blue Button Stamps

I chose to make two cards using the Rag Doll Sweetheart images.  You can find these adorable digital images here. The first card is a 5 X 7 white cardstock base.  I placed a striped patterned paper from the Beautiful Life Echo Park patterned paper pad.  I used a piece of the grey patterned paper along with one of the dies from the Floral Ribbon Threader Spellbinder set.   I also cut out the pink polka dot patterned paper with the border from the Floral Ribbon Threader spellbinder set and adhered it to the bottom of the card.  I placed a strip of lace underneath the scalloped rectangle and on top of the border piece.  I used the Textile Rectangle stamp and die set from My Favorite Things to make my sentiment.   I used a Studio Calico Mister Huey mist to spray some cardstock and then I die cut the Textile Rectangle die and then stamped the frame and sentiment.  I glued it to the top of the scalloped rectangle piece.  I put the Rag Doll Sweetheart with boots image on my card with foam tape to give it some dimension.  I colored this image in with my Copic markers.   I added some beautiful flowers that I received in a RAK to the bottom right hand corner of my card.

The second card I created is a standard A2 size pink cardstock.  I added patterned paper from the Beautiful Life Echo Park paper pad.  I added a one inch strip of the damask paper from that same collection.  I also added a small 1/2 inch strip to the left hand side of the card.  I used my Label stax die from My Favorite Things to cut out a red piece of patterned paper from that same collection.  I colored the Rag Doll Sweetheart Bag digital image with my Copics and placed on my card using foam tape to give it some dimension.  Thanks for looking.

I was in a swap where I was to make four 3 X 3 cards and envelopes.  It is so very nice when using digital images that you can resize them to any size that you need.   I used Ms. Lilly on a bike and Ms. Lily Pretty Lady for these cards.    I chose to use a kraft cardstock bases and the patterned paper I chose was Echo Park's "A Beautiful Life".

Today is Daisy Collins, birthday and she is the owner and creator of digital printables files for Tsunami Rose Designs.  I have created projects and been a part of her design team.  This is the birthday card I created using some of her wonderful printables called "Vintage girls and Lifes a bloom"  The "Life's a bloom" is a journal.  I like using the journal pages as beautiful patterned paper.

I took a plain 5 X 7 white cardstock base and I first inked around all the edges with Tim Holtz frayed burlap ink.   I added a piece of patterned paper from the BrambleRose My Minds Eye paper stack. I then used one of the adorable postcard images from the Vintage Girls printable from Tsunami Rose Designs store along with a piece of printed paper from the "Life's a bloom" journal page.  I cut a wonderful doily that I got in a RAK from a friend who bought it at Thepaperbaglady's shop on Etsy.  I also added another small doily in the bottom right hand corner of the card along with a beautiful crochet flower that my aunt Bev sent me.  I also added another one of those same flowers on the top of the card.   I used the reverse side of the BrambleRose patterned paper and my Fiskars scalloped border punch and then I tucked one piece in the top by the doilies and another along the right hand side of the card.

I took 2 beautiful paper flowers and one porcelain rose from Craftsupplies1 on Etsy and wrapped them together then I put some lace around the stems as well..   I then adhered them to the bottom left hand corner of the card.   I took a sentiment stamp from SP&Company from their Bold Birthday Greetings stamp set and stamped it on my card using Rich Cocoa Memento ink.  Thanks for looking and joining in the hop.

Here is the complete line- up for the
