Spring Card using Ippity Stamps

Here is a Spring card I made this morning using the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring!! 

This card is for 4 challenges... I based this card off of Kazan's Sketch #49 at 2 Sketches 4 You, the ippity challenge this week is to create a Spring based project using ippity stamps, and the challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge blog is to also create a Spring project incorporating the cuttlebug, and an Easter card for the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.

Here's what I did:

The sentiment, flowers and basket were all stamped with the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I created my own DP using the flower stamp for the background of this card.  I used watercolor pencils to color the basket and the flowers.  The pink paper was dry embossed using my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.  The circle was cut out with my Cricut George cart and the edges of the circle and card were both chalked with chalk from Studio G.

Cuttlebug Challenge Vintage Valentine #68

Here is a card I created for the Vintage Valentine #68 for the Cuttlebug Challenge. This is my spin on a Vintage Valentine. I had the red and green background papers and thought they fit for the vintage look. The doily was cut from the 2010 Easter Cart on my Cricut. I drew on the stitching look and chalked the edges in brown to give it an aged look. The flowers and vase were cut from the Easter cart also and both were layered. The heart is from the George cart. I had the heart already cut from a project I didn't end up using it in. I like to save all the cuts that I don't use. I added foam squares to the back of the vase to give it depth. The paper on the vase has silver foil hearts and is from a K & Company valentine pad. I cut the paper for the XOXO with border shaped scissors and drew on the lines and wrote the XOXO, then layered on top of 2 coordinating papers, pink and green. On the inside of the card I just added a little of the red paper and glued it onto the right side. Thanks for looking! I hope you like it!!

Cuttlebug Challenge Pocket Card

This is a Pocket Card I made for this months Cuttlebug Challenge. The challenge was to make a mostly red pocket card. I chose to make a Valentines Day card. I used red cardstock for the card, the paper on the front of the card is red with a red foil hearts. I used my George cart to cut the heart in red card stock then I layered it with a silouette cut in black card stock. The flowers on the front of the card were cut with my Easter 2010 cart, they are so pretty. I cut two of them and then arranged them on the heart the edges are beneath the silouette. The butterfly was cut from Designers Calendar and I layered three of them in different sizes. Then I added some rhinestones.

The heart is actually the pocket which holds another heart that says Be Mine, this heart is from the Designers Calendar cart, I cut two the same size and cut a piece of black card stock between them, so you can read Be Mine on Both sides I also glued a little raffia between them so that the heart could be pulled out.

The inside is three layered rectangles from the George Cart and a Sticker that reads Forever. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!!
