Hey Chica! ~A fun paper piecing card~

Hey Chicas! (Y Chicos!)  I found a card that I remembered to take pictures of, but I forgot to post.  I think that must be due to fear of my blog becoming a "cards only" blog -and that just cannot happen!! It is just that so many of my larger projects are still in my head, you know, in the "fantasizing" "planning" stage.  Also known as not-yet-ready-for-posting stage.  So another card it is!  Do you mind?


Here's a close up of the paper piecing of her hair and ribbon.  I just used liquid glue, like Martha Stewarts glue pen or Stampin Ups 2-way glue pen.  Worked really well to hold her hair down over the ribbon.

Inside I added a tab for fun and a lacy die cut.  And as you can see, I had already written in this by the time I took the picture!

The ribbon, ready for her close up...

Enjoy your day!

Birthday Turqouise & Cocoa Combo

Howdy! Since all of my other projects are still in my head making big plans, I thought I would post this birthday card instead. I added Mr. Owl with dimentionals, but he still doesn't pop off the card enough. I think I will go back and add some Glossy Accents to him, and maybe outline the Happy B-day squares too.


Some more shots of the details and the inside~


For the bottom, inside border, I used the "negative" of the oval chain die cut. It was the left-over just crying out to be used. (The peaks from the scallop die cut were too close together.)



My working surface was just as organized as this photo depicts. I swear.

Supplies:
Cuttlebug
Acrylic block: Lawn Fawn
Ribbon, Michael’s Crafts
Ballpoint-tip glue pen, Martha Stewart
Foam tape used for owl, Scotch Mounting Squares, cut to size

I realize this post is kind of "dry" but I just don't know what to do about it! I have got to get going! If you have any questions, just ask. :)
