Here is my second project for July. Again I used the Sew American Stripe patterned paper from Bo Bunny. I also used the Velvet Blue Jean paper from them, cut out a large star and stitched it with white floss. I added Ladybug red brads at each point...also from Bo Bunny. I cut rings from tan paper using the Cuttlebug die set, CIRCLE FRAMES. Then I added some red wire with white beads , curling it to resemble fireworks! Thanks for looking :)
Here is my first project for July. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder ALLEGRO to emboss the music on the red paper. Then I sanded it for the effect. The patterned paper I used was Sew American Stripe from Bo Bunny. The velvet paper is also from Bo Bunny, it is called Velvet Blue Jean. I cut the stars out by hand from this paper. The rings were cut from red paper using the Cuttlebug die set called CIRCLE FRAMES. I layered the stars, rings and brads and used them to embellish the front of the card and hide the seam.

Over at the Cuttlebug Blog we have a new challenge for the month of July. Here's what I came up with...a banner to celebrate the 4th of July. I used Bo Bunny paper ( Sew American Stripe) and their velvet paper ( Crushed Velvet Blue Jean). I also used the Herringbone embossing folder from Cuttlebug to emboss the letters, H A P P Y. The dangling rings between the banner triangles were cut from the die set also from Cuttlebug ( Circle Frames).
I tied the triangles together with ribbon, white and red ric-a-rac. I added detail with a white gel pen to the letters before I embossed them, and also to the tan triangles. I cut the blue velvet stars out by hand and pieced the whole thing together. Hope you like how it came out...thanks for looking!
Here is my second project for the Cuttlebug Blog. It is always hard for me to come up with masculine cards, I like to embellish with flowers and ribbons! But...buttons are a goog choice for both masculine or feminine. For this card, I used the Herringbone embossing folder from Cuttlebug to add interest and texture to the white strip on my card. I then inked the edges....which I always do :) I also did the same to the brown semi-circle. The papers I used are from Bo Bunny and the card stock is from SU! and Bazzill. Check out all the ideas over at the Cuttlebug Blog!
The theme for this month is "Fathers" over at the Cuttlebug Blog. Here is my first project...a father's day card. I used Bo Bunny papers and two of my favorite Cuttlebug embossing folders, Swiss Dots and Herringbone. The Swiss dots I used on the star with Coredinations paper called Maplenut. After I embossed it, I sanded it to bring out the yellow core. The Herringbone I used on the white strip and inked just the edges. I really likr the texture that dry embossing adds to a project. Thanks for looking :)
This is my second creation for the Cuttlebug Blog for May's projects. Our theme is still Mothers, so I made another Mother's Day card.... and yes I know Mother's Day is past :) I like this design, I think I will use it in one of my upcoming classes.
For the month of June over at the Cuttlebug Blog, our theme is Fathers. I came up with this gift bag for my son to give to his dad on Father's Day. I used an old paper bag with handles that I had saved and tucked away. I covered the front with patterned papers from Bo Bunny (Roughin' It Stripe) & ( Roughin' It Dots). I used my Cuttlebug die ( Harlequin) to cut out the diamonds and my Cuttlebug embossing folder ( Herringbone) to emboss the shapes. The paper I used was a color core paper from Cordinations ( Maplenut) that I lightly sanded to bring out the yellow core. I love the effect it gives! I tied ribbons to the handles...just a few...I didn't want it to feel girlie. I made a tag and tied it on with the ribbons, a button, and a couple of stamps, and viola! Hope you like it....you can check out all the inspiration over at the Cuttlebug blog! Thanks for checking out my blog :)
