Candle Birthday Card with Button Accents

Happy Tuesday Crafters,

I'm so happy to be a Guest Designer for Die Cuttin' Diva's today.

This week's challenge is to make anything with buttons.     

I don't know about you, but I have a bunch of buttons in my craft stash and I rarely think to use them on my cards.  So this Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge was perfect for me to pull out my buttons and see how I could incorporate them into my card. 

Sometimes when I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for a card I go to the Mojo Monday website to check out their card sketches.   They have a lot of awesome past sketches and for my card I chose the Sketch from the Mojo Monday, July 9, 2012.     Now that I have the card sketch picked out I needed to figure out what image I wanted to use on it, so I searched my SVG data base and saw these cute little candles in the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Make A Wish file.

As I was looking at the sketch, I thought that it would be cool to use buttons for the scallop/circles under the thin strip and use a ribbon instead of paper for the thin strip.

I used green twine for the thread in the purple buttons.   To finish off the button theme of this card I used some mini buttons at the bottom to follow the sketch and and to finish off the tag with the sentiment. 

Card Recipe:

•  KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles - Make A Wish file
• Flames accented with Wink of Stella clear brush pen.

• Card design based on Sketch from the Mojo Monday, July 9, 2012
• Sentiment from The Stamps of Life - Candles 4 Birthday stamp set
• Green Twine from The Stamps of Life
• Buttons from craft stash
• Yellow ribbon is Celebrate it 360 ribbon from Michael's
• White accents done with a white Gelly Roll Pen

Thanks for stopping by.   

Hope you have time to create a project with buttons for the Die Cuttin' Diva's challenge.  If you do click HERE to link your project on the Die Cuttin' Diva's blog.

Celebrate Moose Birthday Card.

Happy Friday Crafters,

Sharing with you cards I made with the KaDoodle Bug Designs Exclusive Celebrate Moose that is only available if you join the KaDoodle Bug Designs Fan Giveaways, Freebies and More Facebook Page.

First off I want to show you how I do my eyes for the KBD files.   I had a crafty friend that asked me now I created them so I decided to take step by step pictures.  

Before I remove the paper from my cutting mat I select three colored pencils and the white colored pencil.   

I take one pencil and write an X on each cut out eye. 

Take the next color and make an X in the opposite direction. 

Take the third color and write an X in-between the other X's

Take the white color and write an X the opposite of the their color.

Select one of the colored pencils and edge the circle with it. 

Next I take a blender pen and blend the colors together. 

This is what it looks like when they're all done before you remove the paper from the mat. 

Make sure when your blending more than one set of eyes to clear your blender pen.

Here's what they look like after I removed the paper from the mat.

I used a small pom pom and my alligator clip to shade around the moose antlers, tummy and nose using Stampin' Up Soft Suede ink.

Now onto my cards.   

I used the same image with different backgrounds.

Here's a close up of this adorable moose. 

Card Recipe:

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Exclusive Celebrate Moose that is only available if you join the KaDoodle Bug Designs Fan Giveaways, Freebies and More Facebook Page.
• Colored pieces edged using Copic markers YG25, YR09, & BG45
• Background paper from DCWV 8"x8" Scrapbook Kit in a Birthday Stack
• Queen & Co Twine - Citrus color
• Jaded Blossom Banners left over from another project. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Panda Baby Card

Happy Friday Crafters,

Today I'm sharing a baby card I made using the panda in the crib jpg from the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaTootles Baby Girl Panda file.

The card base was modified so I could incorporate the panda in the crib jpg instead of the rocking horse that was included in the file I bought on the Silhouette Design store.   The blocks were made using the KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaTootles Baby Block Panda file and instead of BABY I used a font to cut out the name of the baby girl to make it more personal for my friend's daughter and her baby girl BRIA.  

Ready for some pictures?  

Well here you go...

Here is the card closed.

Close up!

Isn't this baby panda girl precious?

Looking from the top down. 

Here is it opened.

 Here's a print shot of my Silhouette Design software screen.  

At the bottom in blue you'll see the original piece that came with the card file.  I used my software to crop away the horse, see uncolored piece below that.  Once I cropped away the horse I put the jpg piece onto this piece and after i got it placed when I wanted it and then I welded the two pieces together.   The bottom pink piece is what it looked liked when I was done. 

Card Recipe:

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Baby Girl Panda
• Used the baby panda in the crib jpg and did a print and cut. 

• KaDoodle Bug Designs Cutie KaToodles Baby Block Panda
• Used the blocks from this file and then used a font in my Silhouette software to create the baby's name to put on the blocks.

• Card Base -- Pop up Box Card Baby Rocking Horse by Lori Whitlock - Design #157483
• MODIFED as shown in picture above
• Here is a picture of what this card was originally designed to look like.

• Sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps Writing on the Wall stamp set.

Hope I inspired you to take files and modify them to make anything you choose to make.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting!
