The End.

It is the very last posting for The Cuttlebug Spot.

Cry :(

Nilda did say that it will come back. It just needs a little time off.

Our final challenge is to make a card that includes felt. I went looking for felt items at the LSS and BOY! there are a lot to choose from! Flowers, shapes, alphabets and more!

I settled on a couple of flowers that I got from a friend (thanks Erica!)

Playing a little catch up

I've been so busy with a multitude of things.

Here are a couple of projects that I have been working on.

A ATC card for April

This one was fun, I tried out a new folding flower

technique that I came across on the web.

(sorry I can't find the blog) I'll have to do one for you.

In this ATC: Background is K& Co. paper that I ran

through the Cuddlebug in a folder. On the top half I

stamped with my new FAVORITE Dot Spot stamp

from PTI . I stamped a small cranberry flower in the lower

right corner. I added a punched vintage ticket border (EK Success-Petals)

under the velvet ribbon. The flower is made form vintage dictionary pages.

I added an old school brass brad with a pearl glued to the middle.

The flower is sprayed with the new Sparkle spray from Tsukineko.

Now onto my vintage button flower garden.

I bought a tin silk flower holder at a thrift store and had no idea what I

was going to do with it, but I knew I needed to have it. It is oval in shape,

about 8" tall 12"long and 3" deep. It came filled with foam and covered

in moss. I decided to make a field of button flowers to put in it.

Grabbed my jar full of buttons and started to put them together.

I use thin floral wire to assemble. I also add ribbon leaves, as I twist

the wire.

It's Pile It On week!

The theme this week at Pile it on! is Warm wishes. We were to translate that any way we wanted. So I decide to do a "best wishes" card. This one was fun, I knew I wanted to do a "get well" "wish" card, because I have a girl friend who had gall bladder surgery on Friday.
And I know she'll need a pick-me-up.

Challenges that I am accomplishing:

• Pile It On-Warm Wishes
  
• DCRU-Sketch
• Quixotic Challenge-Ink up an old stamp
• Creative Card Crew - Punch It
• Simon Says Stamp -Punch It
• Ooh La La - Create a Scene
• Tuesday Taggers-Leftovers
• A Spoon Full of Sugar-Lots of Layering
• Flourishes Timeless Tuesday-Create a Scene
• Incy Wincy-Color me wonderful (use favorite coloring medium)
• Charisma Cardz-Fruity Colors

Isn't she cute?

I started this card by stamping the background flowers with Versamark and then going over them with chalks. I just swirled the chalks over the image and they magically appear. I like the soft look they have. Then I stamped the girl on Neenah paper and colored her with Copics. I trimmed her out and placed her over the flowers using pop-dots. I then cut that whole piece out using a scallop Nestability. I cut another scallop out slightly larger and punched holes in each of the scallops and edged it with white ink. I found some pretty purple paper (PTI) and layered it with purple ribbon (May Arts). I added a sentiment from PTI on a "tag" to the left of the scallop. To finish it all off I added 3 pearls that I colored purple with my Copics, to the bottom right corner.

Recipe:

Stamps: The Angel Company (girl and flowers), Papertrey Ink {PTI}(Sentiment)

Paper: Solid (Core d'nations), Patterned (PTI)

Ink: Memories, Versamark, PTI (fresh snow)

Other: Copics, EK Success (1/16" hole punch)(chalks)(tag punch), Hero Arts (Pearls)

Scrap paper flowers

I never throw anything out that I think I just might need/use some day. I have clipboards on my wall with clear pockets clipped on them to hold paper scraps (see my studio blog) picture #10. One for patterned paper, one for solid colors and one for Cricut cut-outs that were the wrong size or color. I noticed over the weekend that the patterned one was really really full. So, I decided to make these cute funky flower embellishments with those pieces that were too small for scrapbooking. I used the scallop punch from Stampin' up and the two circles were Fiskers medium and large. I cut out about 100 of each punch and just started combining them. I tried to make sets of 4, so that they matched. I found some great combinations, and some that did not turn out so good. But hey, at least I used up all my scraps. I am going to sell these on Etsy. I ended up with about 23 wonderful sets. Each a little different then the next.
