I Miss You A Latte ~ Card

I've enjoyed making Easel cards recently and decided to make up a few with some Scrrappydew files.  This is the Latte Bears: http://www.scrappydew.com/store/holiday/valentine-easter.php

To make this card I used A6 card.  I used the Martha Steward score board to make my folds and an envelope, but neither are required.  The paper is from DCWV, Nana's Kitchen, coffee paper.

I used a 9" x 6 1/4" cardstock of coordinating paper, scored at 4 1/2" and folded the top in half for the Easel, but you could fold/score higher at 1" from the top to achieve a taller easel.  I glued my SD Latte Bear on the bottom to the front of the card.  I used Curlz font on my computer.  I printed out the title and then lined up the heart and ran it back thru my printer for the title.  I fussy cut some of the coffee cups out and used pop dots, layered on more coffee paper.  On the inside I added a piece of plain cardstock, inked the edges and added my sentiment..

Beach Layout & Surfer Girl Card

Hi! The heat is hotter every day and it reminds me of the beach, so I decided for this month to make a card and a layout using that theme. The card is to celebrate Children's Day, which we celebrate here in Mexico on April 30th  and has a surfer girl between some waves. The layout features my then 12 year old little girl and as she loves crabs I just thought these ScrappyDew elements were fabulous!

Hershey's Kiss Card

Hello all!  I am back with another project for ScrappyDew.  As soon as I saw the Land of Candy set I fell in love with it!  My two older boys love to play Candy Land and this set matches it perfectly.  For this project I needed something a bit different.  I made a end of the year thank you gift for my son's kindergarten teacher.  I really don't know how she handles all 24 kids in his class, but she does!  I think anyone who has that many 5 and 6 year olds in their care deserves a little chocolate :)  Or a lot depending on the day.  So I used the adorable boy holding the chocolate candy from the Land of Candy set and made it into a card!  Then I doctored up a pint canning jar to coordinate and filled it with Hershey's kisses and hugs.

Here is the card that I made.  I tried to make the little boy look like my son. 

The Hershey's kiss in the boy's hands is super shiny.  I coated it with 2 layers of glossy accents to give it a little something extra.

A close up of the details...dimension, dimension!  I tried a new technique of folding paper to make it look like pleated ribbon and made it into a border between the two designer papers.  The sentiment was a rub-on and I used a 1" punch and added an epoxy circle to the top.  The little boy is on pop dots as well to accommodate for the extra height of the pleated cardstock.

All the patterned papers were from DCWV's dots, stripes, and plaids stack.  I love that the colors are so bright and springy because we could use a little spring here...there is still snow on the ground!

Birthday Wishes by Beth Fiscus

I decided to make a Thomas the Train birthday card to give to one of my nephews.  After all, what little boy doesn't love trains??  I used the new Choo Choo SVG's from ScrappyDew.  They are so adorable!  I cut the files small enough to fit on a A2 size card.  Here is how it turned out:

 

A close up of Thomas

and of the railroad crossing sign.

For the sky I used a piece of paper from K&Company. For the grass I simply used a decorative scissors and cut two different layers of green cardstock. 

Gobbling Goodies Glass Candy Jar

For my project today I've decorated a Glass Candy Jar for my son. I'll fill it with sugar free candy, for the time being it contains LifeSavers.

I used  Coloring Monsters pattern file by ScrappyDew. 

Silhouette Printable Clear Sticker Paper

Silhouette Portrait

Make the Cut 

ScrappyDew Affiliate Links used for the Portrait and Make the Cut

Using Make the Cut, I placed a 2 inch circle on my cutting mat. For the text on the top label I used Comic Sans MS font. I added Gunnar to the mat first then Gobbling Goodies, re-size text accordingly.  Holding down the CTRL Key drag Gunnar text wrapping it to the circle. Adjusted settings.

 Next take Gobbling Goodies text - Shape Magic - Flip - Shape Magic - Mirror -Hold down CTRL Key   drag the Gobbling Goodies text wrapping it to the circle. Again adjusting the settings.

Select one of the monster pattern files, re-size accordingly and place inside your circle. 

I selected another monster, removed the center part of the crayon, typed out my sons name using Giddyup ST Font. Re-size the text and place in the center of the crayon.

 When printing out your design you want to hide the circle. Once done printing let dry at least 2 hours, place your Clear Sticker Paper on the mat, I hid all the layers inside the circle leaving the circle visible and the black monster holding the crayon. Be sure to click on the Texture Snapshot Icon before cutting, if you don't it will cut the individual pieces of your monster.

I hope you enjoyed this quick project.
