Card Size: 6" x 6"

I made some cards a while ago (Card 1, Card 2) using the Paper Ruffle technique found HERE and I wanted to give it a go with Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose Collection paper! It looks just like material and it uses up scraps! As a card maker I don't always make 6x6 cards so I tend to have strips of 12x12 paper left, this is a perfect way to use up those strips!!

I wanted to dress up the ruffles with little flowers so I used the Classic Rose stamp and die to make them. I have a little tutorial below on how I altered them. I used the Arianna Lace die to make my border, I have a photo below showing how I did that.

Look at those ruffles! They look just like material.

I stamped the flowers with Versamark and embossed them with white embossing powder. I then add some light pink ink for a touch of soft colour. The flourishes I cut apart from the leaves and tucked in behind the flowers.

Bought flowers (on the right) have that nice little green foliage behind them. I stamped and cut a small Classic Rose in green to imitate this (on the left).

On the left is the stamped and die cut Classic Rose.

On the right you can see I how I cut each petal to make leaves, basically just make the end pointed like a leaf.

I then inked and shaped them, and attached them behind my flowers!!

I used the Eyelet Oval die to cut out a design on the small inset oval.

On the back of the purple patterned paper I attached each die cut. I found the center along each side first and attached one there...a little higher than the rest for visual interest. I then added the 2 corners. Finally I filled in the spaces with the other die cuts. I chose not to do the bottom because it would be hidden by the ruffles.

Teddy Bo & Co. The Bears

Hello and welcome here. I have been busy the last few days colouring up some digital stamps by Teddy Bo & Co. This is the 3rd card I have to share. I have a bit of a tutorial showing the steps I used to paper piece the images. You can find the action happening over on the Facebook page.

Card Size: 5" x 7"

I used March-TheBears05 and 06 for my card. I also paper pieced them which gave them dimension. The camera doesn't do it justice, it's really 3Dish in real life.

Sorry for the large photo, but it gives you a better idea of the layers. I'll show you how I did it if you keep reading.

Bo Fur - E21, E33, E35, E27, E53

Shirt - G21, G43, G82, G85

Hat - E31, E42, E43

Sky - BG0000

Bea Fur - E11, E13, E15, E17, E51, E21, Y23

Shirt - R81, R83, R85, C0, C1

Hat - E42, E43

Puff on Hat - C0, C1

Sky - BG0000

Recipe: PP-BoBunny Garden Journal Pastel, Bazzill CS-black & grey, CTMH CS-White Daisy, Foam, BoBunny Lattice Frame Die.

So I printed the image 3 times. I fussy cut out the pieces...I should have kept the face and collar as one piece. I coloured the areas that are going to be covered with the pieces in grey.

Here I've coloured the shirt and fur.

Here are all the pieces coloured and ready to be assembled.

Start with adding the collar and face piece. Here I had to add them separate because I cut them out separately, oops.

The added face.

I've added the snout.

Here's the image ready to be added to the card.

Here are the Bea pieces. This time I remembered to keep the face and collar together. I also printed her 3 times and fussy cut the pieces.

Here are the pieces ready to be added to the main image.

I decided the puff could be added separately, so I cut it off to add with foam.

Here I added the puff, it gave it great dimension.

All finished and ready to be added to a card.

Enjoy, I hope you enjoyed the step by step photos.

Teddy Bo & Co., Bo Holding a Pot of Flowers

Hello and welcome here! It's another card using a new release from Teddy Bo & Co. I remembered to take some photos while I was colouring them for you to see the process. You can find the action happening over on the Facebook page.

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

I used March17-TeddyBo6, a super cute image of Teddy Bo holding a pot of flowers. I coloured him with Copics.

Copics Used:
Bo Fur - E51, E33, E35, E57, E53
Apron - E42, E43
Pot - E93, E95, YR0s, YR14, YR18
Shoes - B91, B93, B95, N7
Hat - E50, E42
Roses - R20, R21, R32, R35, G46
Ground - W2, W3, W4
Sky - BG0000

Recipe: PP-BoBunny Madeleine Grace, Bazzill CS-mahogany, CTMH CS-White Daisy, My Favorite Things-Inside/Outside Stitched Rectangle & Four Corners, Foam, Pearls, Copics, Verve Stamps SS-Circular Sayings, Versafine Ink-Onyx Black.

Here's my printed piece all ready to be coloured. I like to die cut it before I start colouring so that I know where my borders are.

Working on the fur. I didn't like how shaggy Bo got in my last card so I opted to use dots and give him a smoother coat.

All the fur done...except there's a small piece of ear by the top of the flowers that I'll find later.

Finished colouring the apron. I shaded it in relation to the folds and where the pot would cast a shadow.

Layering up the colour. I went with the details on the pot for shading.

The pot all finished! This was a great combination for a terracotta look.

Finished the shoes. I could have gone a little darker but I tend to worry that I'll get things too dark and end up on the light side. Wait, that almost sounds like a Star Wars quote, lol.

I finished the roses and started adding the ground colour. I used dots for the ground, it resembles gravel.

Ground and sky are done, it's ready for a card!

I hope you enjoyed!

Cuttlebug Mania Anything Goes Challenge & Short Tutorial

Hello and welcome here! It's September, can you believe it!?! The summer has flown by and it's back to work for me and to school for the kids. I actually have 1 in high school this year. I tell her to stop getting older but like any teen she doesn't listen to me, lol.

It's time to get back to my Design Team work minus 1, Top Tip Tuesday has closed but I'm still with Cuttlebug Mania and Inspired Stamps. I'm trying to decide whether to keep it to the 2 or see if anyone has some openings.

On to our first challenge at Cuttlebug Mania, Anything Goes! And I have 3 cards to share with you today as well as a short tutorial.

Challenge - Anything Goes

For a chance at winning an awesome prize, link your creation over at Cuttlebug Mania.

Challenge runs for 2 weeks.

Don't forget to let us know how you used your Cuttlebug!

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

I saw a card on pinterest using watercoloring and a die and had to try it out! You can see her video tutorial HERE. I added a photo tutorial at the end of my post of how I did it. You emboss your die onto watercolor paper (you can find instructions HERE in case you don't know how to do that), trace the lines with your marker and then trace the marker with a waterbrush, voilà, done!

So then my brain was already thinking of the next die I wanted to try watercoloring, Memory Box's Honey Blossom Sprig.

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

Oh my goodness, it turned out AWESOME, lol!! I think I found my new favourite technique. I stamped a sentiment and finished it off with a bit of ribbon and used my Viva Decor Pearl Pen for detail.

And then I had to give my Tattered Lace Large Flourish a try.
