Little Dreamer Birthday Wishes Card


Hello! 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I would like to share another sunburst card with you using the Little Dreamer papers and a fun technique! I made this card for an upcoming card class in July.
These cute papers make me happy! They are so bright and fun to work with! 
As many of you know, I love creating cards using the sunburst technique! It's one of my all time favorites! I love matching up the papers and creating a rainbow of colors to each card!

As I was designing my card I was really wanting to use the unicorn from one of the pocket plus cards (This is great way to use up those extra cards!) that we carry in our Little Dreamer paper packet. So I took our circle thin cuts and this is what I came up with:

First, I cut out my pocket plus card from the other cards in the paper packet.

Second, I took the largest circle from the circle thin cuts and placed it over the unicorn. Making sure the circle was even.

Third, I used my Cuttlebug machine and cut the unicorn out. Super easy! Now I have a circle of my unicorn to place over the sunburst part of my card. 

I love the thin cuts! You have a variety of sizes to work with! The circles are so much fun!
You can even layer them for an added border. So cute!!

Live Beautifully Rose Card


Hello Crafty Friends!
 
I have taken a few weeks off to recuperate from influenza A. I am feeling better everyday but 
it's been a long recovery! I am happy to finally post and share a pretty card that I had made using Live Beautifully from our National Scrapbooking Month promotion.
If you haven't ordered these gorgeous papers and the matching stamps yet be sure you order as soon as possible! As these are while supplies last or until May 31st!

I made this card using a rose from the Flower 
Market cartridge and used the gold shimmer brush on the white part of the rose to add some sparkle. I cut the underneath part of the rose from the Live Beautifully paper. The leaves were stamped and cut out and added to the rose. I also cut a strip from the black words B&T that says "Smile" and "Dream" that creates an easy sentiment. Very elegant and easy to make!
 
Here is the shopping list:
 

 Thank you for visiting my blog today! Please check back often as I will be creating some fun new
artwork using some of our new products from Expressions 2!

Have a fabulous day!
 Happy Creating!
