BLD Tuesday

Mornin' hens!  It's time for another ByLoriDesigns Tuesday!  Ahhhhh, I just LOVEEEE Tuesday's now, don't you?  I never tire of these images from Lori and Hannah.  They're SO SUPER CUTE!  Today's sweet little girl is from the Bug & Roo collection and she's called Ella Two.  I made this little card for my niece who I think is a twin to Ella Two!!  Tee-hee!  I showed this card to my DH and he said, "It's PERFECT for her!"  Yay!

Ok, so I printed the image onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and colored her with my Copics.  I rounded the bottom edge of the image panel by inserting the CS into the oval punch from the bottom and only cutting the one side.  The DP is from My Minds Eye Dilly Dally collection.  Wanna see some more eye candy with these adorable images?  I thought so.....  me too!!  Let's hop on over to the BLD blog and check out what the rest of the BLD DT whipped up!!  Have a TEE-RIFIC Tuesday!!  {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:
Digital Image - ByLoriDesigns "Bug & Roo Ella Two"; CS - SU Whisper White & Basic Black, Gold; Copics; Ribbon - Michaels; Punches - Marvy Giga Oval, Martha Stewart Border Punch, We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper   

Happy Birthday Mom!

Yeah, I know!  She gets back to back cards AND gifts!!  Lucky lady huh?  Now, you hens would probably not believe this, but little Marcie here from ByLoriDesigns looks just like me when I was little.  Curly reddish hair and a TOMBOY to say the least.  Oh yeah, dirt and me went hand in hand!  So I thought my Mom would get a kick out of this card for her birthday.

I wanted to do something a little different today, so I decided to make a tall card.  This card's measurements are 4' wide by 9.25' tall.  It fits perfectly into a Number 10 business envelope if that gives you an idea of the size.  It's pretty neat though and it gives you lots of design room too!  I printed the image onto some Neenah Classic Crest white CS and then colored it with my Copics.  I stitched the image to some SU Basic Black CS and then added it to this cute DP from October Afternoon's Farmhouse collection.  I matted each DP panel with the SU Basic Black CS and stitched with black thread as well.  To finish, I printed the sentiment from the Little Talk Sentiments set (also from ByLoriDesigns) and punched it out with my SU oval punch and added this cute gingham ribbon on top.   I hope she likes it!

Now be sure to pop over to the BLD website and take a gander at the rest of the BLD Design Team's eye candy for today!  {{{hen hugs}}}

BLD Tuesday

Acccck!  Ok, needless to say, I LOVE this card!! OMG, I just keep staring at it.  *sigh*  I made this card for my Aunt and Uncle's wedding anniversary.  They LOVED it!  Yay!!

I started by using "Grandparents" from the Sugar Sticks collection at ByLoriDesigns.  I separated the two images and then created a new file where I overlapped the woman a little over the man so they were closer together and holding hands.  I then printed the image and colored it with my Copics.  I stitched it to some SU Basic Black and then added it to this cute DP from My Minds Eye.   To finish, I tied on this cute plaid ribbon and added some Crystal Effects to their glasses!  Love it!!

Now be sure to hop on over to the BLD website and check out the rest of the BLD Design Team to see what SUPER CUTE ideas they've got in store for you this week!!  {{{hen hugs}}}

BLD Tuesday

Mornin' hens!  For today's BLD Tuesday post, I used Lollipop Lil' Chef Girl.  Isn't she the CUTEST?  I know I say that about all Lori's images but I can't help it.
After I printed this image out, I decided it would be perfect for a Mother's Day card!!  I colored her with my Copics and stitched her to some SU Real Red CS.  I used this SUPER CUTE DP from October Afternoon and finished with this striped ribbon and a button on top.

Now be sure to hop on over to the ByLoriDesigns website and see the rest of the BLD Design Team's FAB creations today.

I hope you hens have a great day!  {{{hen hugs}}}

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}}}

BLD Tuesday..

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!!

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?
