BLD Tuesday

Mornin' hens!  It's time for another By Lori Designs Tuesday post.  Whoopie!!  Now, believe it or not, this is an exact replica of my little GRANDDOG Lilly!!  Tee-hee!  I've included a photo of her so you can see the resemblence!


She's a TWIN right?  OMG, I do LOVE that little girl.  She's SO STINKIN sweet!  The DH and I love taking care of her and we spoil her rotten every time she comes to visit.  That's what grandparents are supposed to do right? Bwah-ha-ha-ha! Anyhoo, it was her birthday a few weeks ago so I HAD to make her a card!!  Pfffft!  Hellooo??  She's my baby!!  Gramma HAS to make her widdle girl a card...  *snort*

Ok, so I started by printing the image "Dog" from the Lollipop collection at ByLoriDesigns, on both the  Kraft colored CS and again on white CS.  I shaded the white image with a few highlights and then paper pieced it to the Kraft CS.  I cut the image panel out with my circle Nestabilities and then (with the die in place) added some distress ink around the edges.  I printed the sentiment directly on the DP and then stitched around all the edges.  To finish, I tied on some CUTE striped twill ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel, and then added a few brads at the top!  She LOVED it, she told me so..... REALLY!!  Tee-hee! Now, there's still a few days left in this month's That's Kraft Thursday challenge, so if you haven't entered my challenge yet, well HOP TO IT hens!! I'm just LOVIN' all these FABULOUS entries.  And don't forget, you can enter the same card in the Catered Crop challenge too!  This week's FEATURED ingredient is KRAFT paper!  So, make it a TWOFER challenge!  Woo-hoo!!  You hens ROCK at these challenges!!  Have a GREAT day!  {{{hen hugs}}}

BLD Tuesday

Morning hens! It's time for another By Lori Designs Tuesday post! I'm having such a wonderful time playing with these SUPER CUTE images from BLD! Seriously, I don't think I'll ever tire of them. This little CUTIE is called "Fancy Bunny". How appropriate since she's all guzzied up with a pearl necklace and a flower too! *snort* So here's how this little cutie came together... I printed the image onto some Neenah Classic Crest white card stock and then colored her with my Copics. Then, as I started to punch a border along the bottom edge of the top panel I stopped after the first punch because I sort of liked the way it looked. Don't ya love it when an accident looks like it was planned?? Tee-hee! Ok, so then I stitched around all the edges and added a few brads to the top panel. Next, I cut out the image and mounted her using a few dimensionals. To finish, I added this GORGEOUS lace from the Ribbon Carousel and tied some linen thread on top! I hope you hens have a TEE-RIFIC Tuesday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon. {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:

Digital Images - By Lori Designs; DP - My Minds Eye "Dolled Up"; Copics; CS - Neenah Classic Crest White, Grey and SU Cherry Cobbler; Ribbon - Ribbon Carousel; Corner Chomper; Brads; Linen Thread

Thank you!

Mornin' hens! Just a short and sweet post today, but none the less CUTE! {grin} I made this little Thank You card using one of the fonts on my computer, and cut it out with my..... wait for it...... yup, my Silhouette Cameo!! LOL! I can't help it, I'm havin' too much fun!

Ok, so there really wasn't much to making this other than cutting the font in both patterned paper and SU Basic Black CS and then adhering them to the DP with a few SU dimensionals. I embossed the bottom DP layer with my QuicKutz embossing folder and then tied this saddle stitched ribbon in a cute bubbly bow to finish! EASY PEASY and I LOVE it to boot! Woo-hoo! My kinda card!! That's it from the hen house today! I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon! {{{hen hugs}}}

BLD Tuesday..

... and yet another FABULOUS card design cut with my Silhouette Cameo. I REALLY AM havin' a blast with this thing! Can ya tell? Tee-hee!

I still have a few Easter cards I made to share with you, as I just couldn't seem to stop playin' with all these CUTE BLD images. I think Lori has created a BLD MANIAC!! LOL!!

Ok, so first I cut out the Card Ornate Frame from the Silhouette Studio on line store, by ungrouping the image and cutting it in SU Soft Suede, pink and white CS. Then I layered all the pieces and printed the Lollipop Easter Basket from By Lori Designs on some Neenah Classic Crest white CS and colored it with my Copics. I sponged a little chalk ink around the edges and cut it out with my Nestabilities and then layered it on top. I finished with this pink ruffled ribbon tied in a cute bubbly bow. SUH-WEET!!

Wanna see some more eye candy? Well be sure to check out the rest of the BLD Design Team here: Lori, Hannah, Krista, Simonne, Arielle, Tina, Cindy, Kadie, Karen, Sherie, Taylor, Mary, Kim, and Tracy.

Howdy!

Howdy hens! Here's a little TKT reminder and some more inspiration for those KRAFTY projects I know you have up your sleeves!! Hmmmm, do hens have sleeves? Oh well, you know what I mean! Tee-hee!

This here is a little birthday card I made for my BIL who I know is just gonna love it! Simple design, but it just seems to work with this image doesn't it? I LOVE it! This is "Farmer Clem" from High Hopes Stamps. I colored him with my Copics, and mounted him to this DP from GCD Studios. I matted the DP with some SU Kraft and adhered it to the SU Early Expresso card base. To finish, I tied on some brown gingham ribbon and added a button on top!

Don't forget, you've still got plenty of time to enter my That's Krafty Thursday #60 challenge below. The challenge doesn't close until April 18th so come on and play along! Or do I need to send Farmer Clem after you with his pitchfork?? Bwah-ha-ha-ha! I knew you'd see it my way! {snort} Ok, that's it from the hen house today! I hope you all have a TEE-RIFIC Thursday!

BLD Tuesday

Mornin' hens! As you can see, I've been playin' with my Silhouette Cameo {snort} .... and I must say I LOVE this card. I used the Happy Easter Card Kit from the Silhouette Studio on line store and then backed the cut out front window with some pink card stock. (Sigh.. I'm SO lovin' this machine!)

Ok, so then it was time to gussie up the front with this fun image called "Bunny Girl Three" from the new Bug & Roo release over at By Lori Designs. I added some grass to the bottom using two different colors of green CS that I punched with my MS border punch and nestled some pastel eggs inside. I stitched around the top edge and sides, rounded the corners, and added a fun gingham bow to finish. SUPER simple card and I really LOVE the results!! Wanna see some more eye candy? Well be sure to check out the rest of the BLD Design Team here: Lori, Hannah, Krista, Simonne, Arielle, Tina, Cindy, Kadie, Karen, Sherie, Taylor, Mary, Kim, and Tracy
