The Little Scraps of Heaven owner/artist, Tricia Veinot Moore offers a weekly freebie. This week you can get this sweet digi named “So Cool2” HERE until Thursday July 2^nd for free. (Also, Tricia has all of her wonderful images- individual images and sets regularly priced up to $5- all on sale right now for just $1. So stop by soon and I’ll be you will be adding several of her cute digis or sets to your collection!) The digi came with a cut file, which allowed me to cut out all the pieces of this sweet image and then glue them together using the photo as my guide. Super easy!  A corrugator that I rarely use, helped add texture to the cone that was cut from a scrap of cardboard. I used small white brads to decorate the sunglasses and made the lenses from a black plastic translucent document folder. (These wonderful items come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. I really like using them on my cards because they're cheaper than colored vellum and the plastic is easy to cut with a nice, sharp pair of scissors.) The lighthouse background is from a memo pad I picked up at TJ Max years ago. I had to create a card base larger than my usual, but it helps the little cutie not overpower the card. The sentiments are computer-generated.

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Little Scraps of Heaven (So Cool2)

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Blue parchment cardstock and a corrugator from my stash

·   Lighthouse scenery background- a memo pad from my stash

A Perfect Time to Craft 2020-Anything Goes- Challenge #6-2020

I love butterflies because they carry the message of hope following a struggle. After three months of COVID related restrictions and concerns, I think we can all use a little hope! So I love the Butterfly Challenge.  The sponsor, Mrs. A provides instructions for making a different creative fold card for each challenge. Her instructions make the current “Z Fold” super easy to make (Mrs. A. actually provided two different versions of the card. I chose the simplest one!) My card featured one color (Zenchua or Light Purple), one theme (z-fold), plus the butterfly!   The butterfly is adhered to the card with double-stick tape, plus a few strips of acetate taped to the underside of the wings and the card base holds the butterfly in place and helps provide support.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Graphics Fairy Freebie (Butterfly)

·   Colored with Decorative Chalks, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiment- Scrapbook label from my stash

·   Cloud stationery, floral paper, cardstock and acetate scraps from my stash

Path Of Positivity Challenge- Challenge #81

I wanted to create a card to enter into a baby-themed challenge at PowerPoppy and knew exactly which digi to use, Whimsy Stamps sweet “Cradled By the Moon.” A beautiful plaid digi paper, which is a freebie from Beccy’s Place, provides a wonderful background to the little babe. I had folded a few extra Z-fold card bases and decided to use one to hold a 5 x 3¾ piece of blue paper upon which I adhered the colored image and a sentiment. A computer-generated sentiment, smaller piece of the plaid background, and extra hearts cropped from the front sentiment decorate the inside of the card.  (I usually fussy-cut images... so it was a new experience to drop a PNG digi on top of a patterned digi. And I was thrilled that it worked! I have a feeling I'll be doing more of this in the future!)
