Project Tuesday ~ Gate Fold Card

Well it is Tuesday and that means time for another Project Tuesday Challenge. This week we are creating a Gate Fold card. So I hope you will play along with us. All inistructions for making the card can be found here.

For my card I used this wonderful stamp set from Prickley Pear and it was a gift from my sweet blog friend Tesa.

 The papers are BasicGrey from the Oliver collection. I added ranger distress inks to the flowers and some PTI vintage buttons. I then added the same papers to the inside of the card.

I hope you will take some time this week to play along with us over at Project Tuesday. This will be my last week as a Design Team member, but I hope to find time to play along with everyone once in awhile.

Enjoy!

I decided to make a Halloween Card this week. My intentions were to use my new Memory Box "blackbird" papers, but by the time I finished with the inside of the card and then went out to decorate the front the papers no longer matched. (hate when that happens)

Project Tuesday ~ flower frame and winner

It's Tuesday and that means time for  Project Tuesday! This week it is all about making rolled flowers and using them on a project.

Your flowers can be created using paper, felt, or fabric and once you learn how to make them you won't be able to stop. Believe me, I know. I am thinking of changing my blog name from Button Junkie to Flower Fiend!

This is a small 4.5 x 4.5 frame that I had sitting around the house and it was a celery green color so I knew I wanted to change the color. I first painted it with an egg shell white, but didn't like how it turned out so I added a light coat of manila ove it. Once that was dry I rubbed on some ranger distress ink in vintage photo, faded jeans, and tumbled glass. Then before that was completely dry I rubbed off some of it to give it a real light color to match the lake water.

I hope you enjoy and will take a little time to play along with us this week over at Project Tuesday. Check out the tutorial you will be glad you did.

Now thanks to everyone who entered my drawing for the handmade wrinkle ribbon and the winner is... Suezie... Congrats!!! send me your address and I will get some of my ribbon on it's way to you.

banners ~ wrinkles ~ roses

Well it is Tuesday and that means time for Project Tuesday! And this weeks challenge was to create an easel card.

Project Tuesday - Fortune Cookies

This week over at Project Tuesday our challenge was to create fortune cookies. I found this to be harder than it looks and therefore am not a bit happy about how mine turned out.

I went with pink for a baby shower theme and used notes inside associated with what a baby girl needs.  I should have stopped and got a take out food container, but didn't think of it in time.

Enjoy!

Play ~ folded paper frame

Well it is Tuesday and time for another fun challenge over at Project Tuesday and this weeks challenge is to create a Folded Paper Frame.

This was so much fun to make and oh so easy. I used my 8x8 pad of Graphic 45 "on the boardwalk" papers along with Neenah Epic Black and Natural White linen. I ran the card through my big shot using the cuttlebug "swiss dots" embossing folder. Added a Timster "adage ticket" and some black pearls I had. Flower is from a small EK Success punch and the button is PTI. I distressed the ticket and edges of the papers with Rangers "vintage photo" distressing inks.

I hope you will stop over at Project Tuesday and give this latest challenge a try.

Enjoy!

Project Tuesday ~ Pop Up Card

This week over at Project Tuesday we were given the choice to only play every other week during the busy summer months. If we want to play along on our off weeks we can do that too.

So this is my official off week but you know I had to play along since this was one of Rose's challenges.

For this card I used Neenah natural white and Pop-Tone green card stock, sentiment on front is PTI and on the inside is Hero Arts, Butterfly punches are Martha Stewart, Designer paper is BasicGrey "green at heart", and buttons are BasicGrey and PTI.

enjoy and I hope you play along this week would love to see what you create.

This was so much fun to make and super easy. For my project I used Cosmo Cricket papers from the "early bird" collection. You know I had to add some flowers to this project so along with my handmade rose I also pulled out some of my many flower punches to make some simple yet effective cards. The letters are "thickers" by American Crafts.

I hope you will join us this week at Project Tuesday!

Project Tuesday ~ Gift Card Holder

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday but I was over taking care of my favorite little guy Micah. I will be taking a few more days in the next couple weeks to run back over there and also a trip to Wahpeton to visit family.

I took a video of him walking all over the place, but can't figure out how to add it to my blog so will do that later.

The challenge this week over at Project Tuesday using the tutorial they provided. It went together really quick and I love how it turned out.

I want to thank Rose for taking time to show me how to add my watermark to my cards. She made what I thought was really difficult into something really easy.

For this card I used the Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird" papers, Martha Stewart "Butterfly" punch, EK Success "Ticket" punch, Kaiser Craft pearls, PTI sentiment, & Sizzix Flower die.

Enjoy!

Project Tuesday

I love the Project Tuesday challenge over at Stamps & Smiles I always learn something new each week.

This weeks challenge was to make a Joy Fold Card. Really easy to do and although I am not crazy about the brown cardstock I used I think it turned out okay.

For this card I used the new Memory Box 6x6 papers called frond the colors are so soft and pretty. Lots of purples, blues, greens, with just a dash of dark chocolate brown. The stamp set is PTI "tea for two".

Enjoy!
