Cute Card Thursday - Valentines

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Valentines'. 

As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I love the Lawn Fawn mini stamp sets - super cute and such good value for money. I used the RAWR stamp set for this card.

I stamped the dinosaur and colored it with my prismacolor pencils. I stamped the speech bubble sentiment and fussy cut them both out.

I die cut the photograph frame using the Say Cheese, Again die set and made it into a shaker. I used sequins from my stash.

I used the Scripty Love die and Hearts dies to cut out the word and shapes from Lawn Fawn's Really Rainbow 6x6 paper pack. I also used the word die to cut out fun foam to pop it up on the photograph frame. The rest of the sentiment was stamped from the RAWR stamp set.

We are sponsored this week by Oddball Art Co., a great prize as always! Hope you can join us! See you there!

Cute Card Thursday - Critters

*This is SOLD. 
** Albums of same design can be made to order - all themes considered. Email me (found under my complete profile)

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Critters'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

Another mini album which I made for a friend's daughter who is due to have a baby boy anytime soon. The theme of her nursery is woodland creatures and so I follow this to make a baby's first year album. I love this design for a mini album and used ideas from Corenescreations on YouTube.

This album measures 8.5" x 8.5" with a 3.5" spine. The cover is made from medium weight chipboard. 

I used Echo Park's 'A Perfect Autumn' and 'Celebrate Autumn' collection packs along with ribbon, charms and sequins from my stash.

The shaker on the front of the album opens to reveal some photo mats, and has a magnetic closure.

Each double page is new month and has a 4.25" x 6.25" photo mat (the embellishments are left open so that a photo can be slid behind) and a pocket with journalling cards and plenty of room to add more photos. There is also a milestone card for each month allowing the Mum a quick and easy way of keeping track of all the memories. There are also pull out mats for each month to add even more photos!

The first month has a waterfall for lots of those first born photos. There is also a note card with all of the details on the birth to be filled in.

For the final page I add a double pocket with photo mats to add the baby's first Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and Halloween. These fit a 4' x 6' photograph.

There is SO much room in this album to add photographs and journalling to cherish all of those precious memories of your special addition to the family.

Cute Card Thursday - Banish the Blues

*FOR SALE - email me (found under my complete profile). 
** Albums of same design can be made to order - all themes considered.

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Banish the Blues'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I have caught the 'mini album' bug recently and am loving watching all the youtube videos and trying out the different design. I love this design for a mini album and would like to thank My Sister's Scrapper for the tutorial on this - her video can be found here:

https://youtu.be/rFZorAtDQEE

This album measures 6" x 6" with a 3" spine. The cover is made from medium weight chipboard. 

I used Echo Park's 'Bundle of Joy A New Addition' and 'Sweet Baby Boy' collection packs along with ribbon from my stash.

The first double page spread consists of lots of areas to journal and add pictures. The flaps are magnetized so stay closed and the stickers on the edges of the photo mats have been left open so that you are able to slide your photos behind them.

The second page has a spot for journaling and some cut apart cards for adding photos behind a belly band. More photos can fit behind this band.

The next page has another magnetized flap which opens to reveal another photo mat and journal spot. The following page is made up of 2 pocket flaps, containing 2 pull outs for journaling and photos, with another photo mat opposite.

There is another magnetized flap which opens to reveal a photo mat and journal spot. The opposite page has a twine fastening to a cute flap booklet. 

 There is another belly band with cut apart cards for photos and journalling, with more room to add photos behind the band. The small flap on the opposite page is magnetized and open to reveal a small pocket.

The final page consists of a flap containing 2 tags, a photo mat and journalling spot. A pocket and tick spot completes the album on the final page.

All pages contain a pocket to the side, containing a pull out for more memories. 

There is plenty of room in this album to add photographs and journalling to cherish all of those precious memories of your special addition to the family.

Without further ado, let me share a couple more projects I created with this amazing kit. There are some fun sentiments in this kit and I must admit to playing 'guess the movie' with my daughter for some of these. Madagascar is one of my favorites and I just love this saying! I decided I wanted the penguins to stand out on this card and so did some partial die cutting.

I stamped the penguins onto a white panel measuring 4.25" x 5.5" and only partially die cut them, allowing them to stand up from the 'snowbank'. I used my craft knife to cut in between them and finish off the hill.

I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock using Versamark Watermark ink and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then hand cut this into a banner shape. I adhered this onto the front of the card and added some snowflakes from the stamp set using grey ink.

I adhered some of the patterned paper from the 'Chilly' paper pack inside the card so it highlighted the penguins on the front of the card.

A simple but fun design.

And my last card:

A super quick and easy card to make. I die cut a stitched square using an MFT die and then cut out a hole in the centre. I used the patterned paper for the kit to back the hole and added the sentiment to a banner. I added a little color to the penguin and ice, die cut them using the coordinating dies and then added them to the square panel. This was all adhered to a square white card base!

There are so many fun possibilities with these stamps, dies, papers and goodies!

Now, if you want to get your hands on this awesome kit, be sure to place your order.  You don’t want to miss this one, I promise!

Without further ado, let me share another one of the projects I created with this amazing kit. The 'Chilly' paper collection included in the kit is full of bright, fun papers. I loved the penguin papers and wanted these to be the focus of my card.

I made a standard A2 card base from white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and added a black panel onto the top. I cut the patterned paper down to 3.75" x 5" and added this on top. I die cut the word 'special' from the kit and added it to a strip of black cardstock. I used a white gel pen to write 'you are' and then adhered this strip onto some vellum. I added this to the front of the card and voila! Finished!

There are so many fun possibilities with these stamps, dies, papers and goodies!

Now, if you want to get your hands on this awesome kit, be sure to place your order.  You don’t want to miss this one, I promise!
