Humpty Dumpty Get Well card

Hi, I am on the design team at SNB (Stretch n' Bubbles) Blog and this week i've decided to use Humpty Dumpty.  He is really a fun and detailed image.

What i did:
The printed background is embossed w/the lattice folder.  I tried to make the Humpty dumpty look distressed/vintage by using distressed ink and then slightly sprinkling it with water and wading the paper up...then i ironed it with my iron...and i found that the paper got thicker...isn't that odd?  The sentiment is from Lyrical letters cartridge.

Butterflies shaped 3-D cards

Hi again, it's me Grandma Bonnie sharing my latest cards using the 3 butterflies digital images from the SNB store.  There is a set of 3 butterflies and one sentiment.  I've chosen to use just 2 of the 3 butterflies. Click here to find them.

What i did:
First, enlarged the butterflies and printed them off by putting them as far down on one sheet of paper as i could.  The reason for that is i wanted to make a card and i needed to fold the paper in half. I then cut out the butterfly, making a folded card.  I used the same image again and printed it off.  I colored both images, i didn't put as much shading on the card base because i am going to attach another butterfly on top to make it 3-d.  I gathered up some tulle and placed it between the card base and the top butterfly.  I used my machine and stitched through the top card base, tulle and the top butterfly.  I added some stickles to the small circles on the butterfly.  I used pipe cleaners for the butterfly body.  I curled one antenna and measured to the bottom of the body and wrapped the pipe cleaner around until i got to the top of the head, allow some extra pipe cleaner for the other antenna and cut off.  I sewed a button on for the head.  Next, i used hot glue to attach the pipe cleaner body.

You Make me Smile, Photo card

The name of this digital image from Stretch 'N" Bubbles is "Nothing but time" dragon.









What i did:
I colored and cut out the dragon.  Added the background mats and then cut out a photo of one of my grandsons.  I punched out some stars, and a border strip. Printed off the sentiment, "You make me smile" and finished off my card.

I chose to make this a photo card, but you could add a sentiment to the front instead.  "You make me smile" could be under the dragon in the rectangle and the star could have a button instead of the small sentiment.

Thank "Ewe" Card

I am so honored to be able to create for Stretch 'N Bubbles (SNB) on their Design Team.  This week i chose to make a cupcake card using the cute Sheep found here.

What i did:
I used my cricut/gypsy to make the cupcake card base by using the Sweetreats cartridge.  I used different image layers to create this card. I also enlarged the frosting and reduced it to get the two layers.  I used the adorable sheep image from Stretch ''N Bubble.  I have thought of many sentiments for this card, but made only one card this week.  Some other sentiments you might consider are:
How are "ewe", Been thinking about "ewe" and "Ewe" are so special to me!
