January Inspiration: Judy

Hi there!

It's Judy here

sharing a twisted easel card I put together using

"Button Love".

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Colourblend Pencils.

I pulled out a 6.5 x 5 inch card base, DP, white and purple card stock.

Next I scored the front of the card base diagonally

from the top right corner down to the lower left corner.

I cut the purple card stock to 6.5 x 5 inches

and adhered to the bottom of the card base along the score line.

I took the DP and matted with white card stock before 

adhering to the purple base.

I also matted the image, positioned a white paper doily

behind the image piece and adhered.

I added some buttons in various sizes and colors.

I created a border on the inside of the card

with the card stock, some die cut flowers 

and a stamped sentiment.

Small buttons were added to the card stock border.

I hope I've provided a little bit of inspiration to you today!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!

November Inspiration: Judy

Hello all!

It's my turn to provide a little inspiration here on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog!

I'v been in a holiday mode so

 I created a Christmas card

using "Poinsettia Portrait".

I colored the image with pencils and fussy cut.

Next I pulled out some card stocks

and a paper doily that coordinate with the colors I used.

I decided on an easel card style.

I created the base by taking an 8.5 x 11 inch

piece of red card stock and cut to 5.5 x 11 inches.

Next I scored along the 11 inch side at 2.75 and 5.5 inches

and folded along the score lines.

I cut a coordinating piece of printed card stock to 5.25 x 5.25 inches.

I cut a piece of white card stock to 4.25 x 4.25 inches

and cut a piece of red card stock to 1 x 5.25 inches.

These pieces were layered 

and adhered to the bottom portion of the card base,

leaving a 1/8 inch border all around.

Next, I added a 5.25 x 5.25 piece of white card stock

to the inside of the card.

I cut a strip of white card stock and printed card stock,

layered and adhere with foam tape.

The "Merry Christmas" sentiment was

die cut with Crafter's Companion dies.

I added the red doily to the center of the white square.

The image was adhered to the doily with foam tape.

The doily was added to the front to complete!

June Inspiration by Judy

Hello!

It's Judy here sharing a little inspiration!

I created an altered notebook/journal using

Poppy Fairy

I started by choosing some card stocks and 

designer papers I liked.

I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

Then I covered the front, back and binding of a 

composition book with the papers. I added some ribbon

where the binding met the covers.

 I attached ribbon across the front and back covers to form a tie.

Next I decided on a layout using a matted doily and rectangle.

I popped the fairy image on the background,

added a glittered chipboard title and some gems to finish.

I hope you'll check out this stamps along with

Next, I covered the notebook cover with the card stock & DP.

3 leaf shaped buttons from my stash

June Inspiration by Judy

Hello all!

It's Judy here to share my inspiration project for June!

And, since it's June I thought I would do a Wedding card project.

I used Here Comes the Bride.

I colored my image with pencils, added stickles
and then chose some solid card stock in white and shimmer pink.

Next, I cut pink and white mats to fit my 5 1/2 x 6 card base
and used some Spellbinders dies to cut 3 other layers.

I embossed the white mat.
layered the die cuts. pulled out some embellishments:
ribbon, gems, paper roses

Everything was added to the card base

and the project is complete!

I love the way it turned out!

I hope you do too!
