My Very First Kich n Bleus Design Team Project

I am so excited to be part of this DT!  I love, love, love these whimsical "digi's." This time, we are showcasing the "Kich Goes Irish" collection.  It is available for purchase through the button on the right of my blog under "Those I'm Blessed to Design With..."

For my card, I chose to make something for my honey...he is so good to me and to our children.  He is a fabulous human being...here is the front of my card...

The card is a piece of DCWV cardstock from the Grade School Stack, cut at 4 1/2 x 9 and folded in half.  I printed the digi on plain white cardstock, and colored it with a combination of SU markers, MS markers, MS paint pens, and crayons.  The shamrock is cut at 2" from Paper Doll Dress Up for Cricut.  I printed the sentiment on plain white cardstock, then used the "centerpoint" feature on the expression to cut it out.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.  The digi and shamrock (which is inked with colorbox cat eye ink) are adhered with Elmer's dimensional tape for "pop."  

The inside is simple...Sentiment printed on a piece of plain white cardstock...then corners cut with Creative Memories paper edgers, then inked with colorbox cate eye ink.  Adhered with ATG general purpose adhesive.

Thanks for looking!

Flaunt It Fridays--Twinkle Toes

This week over at Flaunt It Fridays, we are flaunting the girl ballerina from Twinkle Toes.  I don't have that cartridge, unfortunately, BUT--I DO have Paper Doll Dress Up.  I absolutely adore this cartridge because it offers so much versatility.  On the cartridge, there is a ballerina cut, so I used it.  I decided I wanted to try my hand at a pop-up card.  I found the tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers.

I have to say, I love her!  She is really happy!  I drew her face with gel pens.  The background is DCWV white core cardstock, and all other pieces came from the scrap bin.  I inked the edges of the dress, shoes, and hair with colorbox cat eyes (love those too!)  I ran the background through my Sizzix Textured Impressions machine using a Cuttlebug folder.  And GASP!  did you notice.....No Glitter!!!!!!!!!  Almost died from withdrawls, but I'm coming out of it now!

Head on over to FIF and show us how you flaunt it!  You know you want to!  Come on...all the cool crafters are doing it!  LOL!

Enjoy!  (And come back tomorrow for more exciting news!)
